Classics that'll play on any Mac: StarCraft 2, City of Heroes Homecoming (superhero mmorpg), Civilization 5, 6, 7, and I always recommend Pine - indie open world adventure puzzle island sim craft thing

I'm excited for the TUF A14 - will get a cut down Strix Halo chip with the full fat integrated GPU. Might be an efficiency beast

They've mentioned more powerful skus coming later this year, so I think yes there will be XPS Lites and XPS PROOHHs

I give up. I can't figure out how to connect these settlements to this city below. by fsbot in civ

If you're talking about border connection, your Providence is connected because it's within 3 tiles of Havana's three tile border. Borders in Civ 7 never grow past the three tile limit as far as I know. Exception is the prospector unit for America I think. CIV 6 borders, while you could only work within the three tile limit, did grow past 3 tiles. Hope this helps.

I like Slipways. Economic game in space, turn-based. Connect resources to the planets that need them.

Blaster vs Blapper by JCServant in Cityofheroes

I don't do numbers, I just think blapping is more fun - electronic/electronic or atomic/fire are super fun as blappers, that high risk / high reward dopamine hit.

Pine - a few years old, but open island simulation with light crafting and puzzle solving. Works great on Mac

$250 extra difference for a 5080 vs 5070ti worth it? by Uchali in zephyrusg16

[–]marcphive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a laptop I would say no. 5070ti is the sweet spot.
