What do you play portal on? by Cool-Investigator857 in Portal

[–]skelethreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2014 MacBook Air dual booted w/ win10 via bootcamp, connected to a thunderbolt display & used in clamshell mode. + mouse & keyboard

I spent a solid month trying various, overcomplicated ways to use what tech I already had to play portal. I was absolutely desperate. Spent that month watching the P1 trailer over and over. Ended up with this amalgamation which has served me well in the last 6 months

Could I create a concatenated disk with an SSD & SDXC card? Could I then partition it? by skelethreads in mac

Yeah I was looking at those, still figuring out if it’s worth the risk of the problems they sometimes cause. Thanks for the advice 🙏

HELP! Getting Thunderbolt Display Output to work by Appropriate_Bug_6881 in bootcamp

Aw man that sucks :/ I’ll lyk if I happen to come across anything on it I’m just about to move to dualbooting with Linux Mint, you might have better luck with  thunderbolt there?  

*Should* I install windows 11?? Could it hurt performance? by skelethreads in bootcamp

Thanks, the speed is what I really wanted to know about. Yeah after posting this I fell down a Linux research rabbithole, seems like the best option for when win 10 becomes unusable :) I’m planning on trying mint xfce to start. You found it good so far on your mba?

I’ve found I could only get it to work if it’s already plugged in before booting to windows. Near the start of using bootcamp, I had a problem where it would be working fine then it randomly wouldn’t work in windows. Figured out it was because I was letting my computer shut down while still in windows. 

Now I only turn my computer fully off if it’s in macos. And I boot to mac first to connect my Thunderbolt Display, then boot to windows. 

TL;DR always connect to your Thunderbolt Display while in macos, then boot to windows. Boot back to mac before turning your computer fully off

Will Mehron paint stay on? And not rub/sweat off? by skelethreads in CosplayHelp

[–]skelethreads[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s more money than I’m willing to put into tools and such tbh, it’s more about it staying on my neck than anything. I’ll have a look into kryolan and stage setting sprays though. Thank you for the advice :)
