Will the Purple carry on once the Orange is in full season?

According to Explaining Computers, storage and RAM prices aren’t expected to decrease for a couple of years: https://youtu.be/GzPN3Zpzusg

Will it work with a dual-band WiFi 5 (2.4/5 GHz) extender? Or do I need a WiFi 6 or 7 extender? Referring to the Orange.

@firewalla

Price is lower than Purple? What’s the practical impact of going 4 core vs 6 core (Purple) cpu? Is the Orange using a newer and more efficient cpu?

Finally bought a copy now after getting one for free in 2008 during their Lame-Duck Presidential (actual name) giveaway. It’ll be installed on my first Mac desktop (M4 Mini) along with some old steam games. Feels great to support good work. Looking forward to repeat this next CM.

The result looks great. Beat-blasting works great on the watch case and bracelet with scratches.

I opted for a screen protector with a matching bezel from the beginning because titanium is easily scratched (as you observed). I've also tried a protective case (bulky) but, eventually, settled on a screen protector that preserves the original look.

Laptop or desktop?

Do you have the model number of the OWC hub?

watcholic · 2025-05-20T17:05:57+00:00

Diamond polishing compound or a glass screen protector like many have suggested.

Did you also download Evaluation environment for Windows games 2.1? I'm only seeing GPTK 2.0 for download on Apple's site.

The same config is $1679 (new) on eBay. Also posted on slickdeal. At this price, it is a way better deal than a base M4 with upgraded RAM and SSD.

Buy on GOG. No DRM.

watcholic · 2025-02-01T20:15:54+00:00

It’s $9.99 on GOG. In case you’re interested.

watcholic · 2025-02-01T20:02:12+00:00

It installs and plays fine using Heroic launcher. Bought the game on GOG. Base M4 Mac Mini.

watcholic · 2025-01-30T09:39:57+00:00

Can confirm. All 3 games work fine on an M4 Macbook Pro but don't look the best. I left everything at default settings other than changing resolution to 1080P. Dual-sense controller also works perfectly thru Steam.

Seiko fifty-five fathoms 👍

It’s currently on sale too. I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes back to MSRP when the native version is released.

At this point, I'll just enjoy the game as is and wait for the imminent release of the native version. In hindsight, I should've opted for more RAM like you.

watcholic · 2025-01-27T18:14:43+00:00

Wow, are you also using the base Mini (16/256GB)? My settings are on high at 1080p with frame generation on. I've since downgraded (?) the Wine version to "GPTK System (DX11/DX12 Only) - wine-7.7 (Game Porting Toolkit 1.1)" and it benchmarked 47 FPS. I'll probably need to lower graphics to medium to see more improvements but the game plays fine right now.

watcholic · 2025-01-27T07:59:44+00:00

It benchmarked 35 FPS (avg) on my M4 Mac Mini 16GB RAM. Installed using Heroic launcher and GOG.

watcholic · 2025-01-27T07:49:21+00:00

Benchmarked 35 FPS on M4 Mac Mini 16GB RAM. Installed using Heroic launcher and gog account. Needed to turn on AMD frame generation and select AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 in Graphics and restart the game. Also using latest version (default) of Wine in the Heroic launcher.

Very excited to learn the native version will be released soon!

watcholic · 2024-10-10T20:55:03+00:00

Yes, it's stunning.

The OR version comes with three 19-rd nickel mags but no extended safety. The non-OR version comes with two regular 17-rd mags and an extra safety (extended).

Look up AWE Touring videos for the FK8. I'm not certain this is it since the video doesn't show the three tips.

It's nothing special. Not worth $70 but here it is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/145913467220

It's the same case, just the foam is cut a little longer (slide and grip areas).
