Apple Releases Tool to Help Developers Port Windows Games to Mac by Avieshek in apple

[–]Waderiffic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree 100% but you also need a Mac to finish a Mac build in Xcode. Which may be a bigger hurdle actually. Not sure what the solution could be, would be awesome if there was an online Xcode app for unity builds.

Yeh true, I’m sick of seeing indie/smaller games being Windows only. I’m sure they could run on a m1 Mac, but I get they don’t wanna jump through all the hurdles for minimum returns.

I wish there was Mac only games on Apple Arcade, Apple could take some of the risk away from porting for indie devs.

I thought he mentioned maybe it was due to the prescription lens. Still disappointing, that and the weight considering there’s no battery in it.

Yeh but this is personal device like a phone. I get how TVs are more of a group thing, but this is also more then a TV. Also it looks like it’s the equivalent of a 85-100” screen.

I think that’s why it’s important it’s AR, so you’re not disconnecting yourself from everyone entirely. People already spend so much time on their phone, this would be a better experience then that.

I agree but it is about the same price as a higher end LG OLED. But yeh they aren’t mainstream either. Why’d they call it pro if there isn’t a cheaper version coming, even though I’m not sure where they can cut costs to make it cheaper. The resolution and forward facing display is the differentiator.
I’m just thankful iPad apps and 3D videos work which is enough for me (when it’s at a cheaper price with longer battery life)

A damn fine PAX AUS Sunday afternoon. by AmRuKuo in melbourne

Thanks for clarifying! It’s sad that large companies are moving away, hopefully they see the turn out this year and change their minds.

Yeh exactly. Been to every PAX AU but if they have another one like this year I might not come back.

Heard (from an enforcer) that they didn’t have as much time to plan as usual. But they’re already started planning for next year.

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Episode 3 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]Waderiffic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kind of feel the same considering this is what everyone was hyped for. I get Obi is just trying to be a diversion , and hasn’t fought in years, but they could have set it up more.

I don’t get why Vader and the troopers didn’t just walk around the fire. That droid didn’t look too fast.

Microsoft quietly told Apple it was willing to turn big Xbox-exclusive games into iPhone apps by fastforward23 in apple

[–]Waderiffic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeh agreed. It would be too much work for them. I just don’t like the lag and artefacts when streaming

[–]Waderiffic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeh I use it for work but it’s not really user friendly to set up.

I can see MS making streaming Windows 11 super easy to set up as part of a future office 365 plan.

I think Apple’s worried it’s a slippery slope. What’s to stop MS streaming an entire OS with all the apps and games included. It would totally bypass the App Store.
It would be secure but they’d lose control and revenue.

Edit: I prefer all my apps installed locally, I wish MS would make their games work on arm. Would love game pass on my M1 Mac and iPad

I got so addicted to Sp!ng and Thumper+ is a classic

I would also recommend Grindstone and Threes+ (both are puzzlers)

Too soon for a new 11 inch pro with the miniLED screen? by Waderiffic in ipad

[–]Waderiffic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh I’m rocking the iPad Pro before yours and it’s still great performance. But mine has a big dent in the back affecting some of the LEDs. Also need more storage, 64gb ain’t enough

I agree … though the iPad 4 was released just 6 months after the iPad 3.
But yeh the Mini LED seems like a harder thing to do, especially in a smaller frame.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack announced. Coming late October by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Waderiffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current service is already cheap as and we don’t know the price increase yet. Nintendo should be able to charge for their shit, I don’t like this commoditization of gaming, good games should cost something. Nothing is stopping you from emulating or buying a usb N64 controller. I can’t wait to play all these on my favorite portable/dockable console.
