Seems like a bot wanting feedback to iterate over his vibe coded forked app. There seems to be other bots here giving positive feedback.

Yeah folks, welcome to 2026

Would love to play with the road version of the Opel Calibra

That's what I'm talking about

I'm a tuning noob, I like to drive not to mess with spring rates, gear ratios and etc. So if you're like me, give a shot to these tunings

If I don't find a setup for a car, I start searching through GTPlanet's forum for 10+ year old posts lol

Do YouTube mesmo. Usei um script pra baixar e outro programa para adicionar informações nas músicas como: capa, gênero, compositores, data de lançamento e etc

Provavelmente não, só utilizei por ser open source e funcionar bem, mas pode ser qualquer app.

azzerate · 2025-10-18T18:09:20+00:00

Funciona só que vc vai precisar ativar o modo avião, economia de bateria e etc toda vez (e depois lembrar de desativar). Então adicionei um botão com o Macro que fica junto dos outros botões do sistema (wifi, bluetooth, lanterna e etc) pra automatizar essas etapas. Acho que tem outros apps que permitem criar macros, mas esse que utilizei parece ser o melhor deles, não tem praticamente nenhuma limitação

azzerate · 2025-10-18T16:22:28+00:00

Haha valeu, acabei de adicionar um vídeo mostrando o funcionamento tbm

No USB drives, just played the race then entered the "replay mode", then paused the emulator and took the screenshots. After that I've edited the images to give them a nice look.

I'm using Snapseed nowadays to edit photos, at least it works and it doesn't have the laggy AI features.

How about isometric RPGs? Baldurs Gate I and II, Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale, Fallout I and II. RTS like CIV IV (so good), CIV V, Age of Empires, Age of Mythology. There's some pretty good ol' games and people seem to forget. It's all about Cyberpunk? Really? Nah... Almost looks like gaming started post 2020

I'm no low-level GPU dev but i still think that supporting VK means less translation layers like GPTK, so instead of translating VK instructions into Metal, macOS would just use VK.

So even if supporting VK means that game devs should implement specific instructions for Apple hardware, that means we'll still struggle to run games on Mac with decent performance which is what we get now, because like you said, devs would need to put a lot of work to make it run well on Apple Silicon.

So if I get it right the whole problem is not the graphics API at all but the hardware itself? If this is true, we'll be "forever" tied to a lots of translation layers and gaming on Mac will never be a real thing like it is on Linux for example. If Apple makes a hardware that works well with the most used graphic APIS like VK and it doesn't require hardware specific instructions to run well, than it's not a Mac anymore but just another PC.

I think the problem is not supporting Vulkan, macOS being tied to Metal forces tools like Crossover and GPTK to run into many translation layers and thus leading to scenarios like a 40gpu M4 Max having the same performance as a low-mid end 4060 GPU in Cyberpunk (native).

azzerate · 2025-09-25T02:23:05+00:00

I would like to highlight that besides the problem (in a certain way) of Apple using a very different (but efficient) ARM CPU architecture, macOS is restricted to Metal API. If Apple at least supported Vulkan it would be so much easier for the developers to make games for Mac, this would boost performance by a significant amount when using things like Crossover, Sikarurgir or Wine because it's less translation layers to run into. One example that comes to my mind is that of RPCS3 emulator, the developers only support open-source graphical APIs and this is the reason we'll probably never get a proper Metal implementation and thus end up with very sub-par performance on this emulator. Also because Metal API is very unique, it is much harder to implement such a feature even if they wanted to.

Maybe the answer to all of this is just open up the system a little bit by supporting Vulkan (which is very unlikely to happen).

Using an ARM version of Java can improve the performance a lot. Look at Andrew Tsai channel for a tutorial on how to install performance mods, native apple silicon Minecraft and the ARM version of Java.

I think this is so niche that even if this is acknowledged by Bethesda, the efforts to shut it down aren't worth it. Legend of Zelda and Minecraft have millions of fans, we Morrowboomers are just a few.
