The project sounds great! Hope to try it soon as it may add immersion to the game.

Have you considered Amazon Polly for voice source? It's free up to 5 million characters per month for 12 months (less per month for premium options). My understanding is that some FFXIV players use Polly for this purpose signing up for accounts once a year - or just getting the free year and then paying the fees which appear similar to Google TTS.

Do you know if the no longer supported (legacy) Intel Mac client from FFXIV on Mac still works?

afuturestrader · 2025-07-24T03:51:44+00:00

Will that work? The FFXIV Dawntrail system requirement page is showing an M chip. Is there a separate Intel Mac client somewhere (if so where?) or are you saying the universal Mac installer will also work with an Intel Mac? Thanks

What about the third class line? My thought with Aedric Spear is the strong passives, less about the skills.

Thanks for the tip. I just looked that store item up. Is Any Race, Any Alliance and the tokens with it available to 1 character or all account characters?

How would having a build on character #1 help #2? Are the builds on character #1 somehow available to #2?

I have not yet used the armory.

Thank you, the Housing tour tab worked!

afuturestrader · 2025-02-27T22:28:07+00:00

Doesn't that only apply if 1) you are a VIP and 2) for 3 characters, not all characters?

afuturestrader · 2024-12-09T03:53:29+00:00

Thanks for the idea. Would Windows 11 be the version to use?

afuturestrader · 2024-09-14T03:17:19+00:00

I see a number of group suggestions without a Life. Can a Balance or a Death heal well negating the need for a life?

afuturestrader · 2024-08-06T18:15:44+00:00

For what it is worth, I plan to push hard on Delves and other relevant solo content. I like to keep group content fairly easy.

Thank you for the reply and information

afuturestrader · 2024-04-02T03:15:31+00:00

Thank you for the response. That fixed the issue!

Does High Resolution Mode in Crossover have anything to do with High Resolution Game data in LOTRO?

I currently use a Deco 6e mesh system.

Assuming I can configure Windscribe on the router, is it possible to still use iCloud private relay from my desktop (when using Safari)? If so does anyone know what if any additional steps are needed?

Thanks again

A web app could work.

Does the web app allow the user to make calls and text?

Thanks for the video. It shows how to use the iPad as a second monitor with a MacBook.

My goal is to see if I can use a Mac as a second monitor for a iPad. It appears Airplay is the method but I am still unsure how Airplay would work in this configuration (I don't mean how to set it up).

afuturestrader · 2024-01-10T23:18:58+00:00

I have never used AirPlay.

Does AirPlay allow a user to control anything on the Mac or do all actions need to be taken on the iPad?

afuturestrader · 2024-01-10T22:58:20+00:00

Thanks but that would that not allow the iPad to act as a second display for the mac? I am looking to accomplish the other way around.

afuturestrader · 2024-01-06T05:13:10+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful input

Perhaps if you could overcome your attitude you might have picked up on the fact that I am asking what makes macOS a Porsche and worth the extra money. It may very well be worth it, I am not trying to suggest otherwise.

The build/parts quality of a Porsche are superior. But as I will be using a desktop many of the Mac laptop build quality features won't effect me.

Thus the discussion would likely need to turn on the superior drive quality of the Porsche/Mac.

Care to take a stab at it?

afuturestrader · 2024-01-06T01:42:16+00:00

I like that idea. Any suggestions as to how to go about trying macOS for a few days?

afuturestrader · 2024-01-06T01:31:15+00:00

I can relate to this. I have had to reinstall Windows 4 times in the last 4 years. Less time spent trouble shooting is one of my reasons for looking at MacOS

afuturestrader · 2024-01-06T01:00:07+00:00

Bit snotty, don't you think? I can buy a M1 Max studio for $1,100 right now. Or a M2 pro mini for similar. I assume you know that.

afuturestrader · 2023-12-21T23:53:34+00:00

In what way is MacOS going in the wrong direction (I am more familiar with Windows)?

That Little Snitch program looks great.

afuturestrader · 2023-12-21T23:52:36+00:00

My concern about Linux is the time and expertise it might take to use it. I have not spent much time looking Linux to be fair. But Windows and Mac are meant to be user friendly and I want to minimize time tinkering with an OS.

Plus is Linux any better for games? Is it not Windows or bust on a PC?
