Its tough trying to sustain on a net worth of only 60 million and unable to buy a gaming rig.

She's too rich to have to deal with Windows.

somebody get Whoopi a Steam Deck

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Base model M1 + Game Porting ToolKit performs better.

Whoopi doesn’t need a Steam Deck. Whoopi needs to wait until one of those easy-to-use-GPTK.app gets released.

Is there a “/r/brandnewsentence” community in the Lemmyverse yet? Because that headline…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s seriously unexpected. I thought I was back on the onion subreddit for a second or something

This makes her sound really entitled...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Entitled or stubbornly stuck in her ways?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I kinda love this

I love her comment, but last I heard D4 was a micro transaction hellhole. So not being able to play doesn’t seem like a bad thing…

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At level 40 right now, haven't seen a single micro transaction that was necessary for gameplay so far, just if you want cosmetic enhancements (who cares!?). Pretty happy with the value to date.

Good to know!

Is there any easy to use toolkit for people available right now? I’ve seen some guides but it seems like I’m trying to install Arch Linux from the command line. 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think there are multiple "wrappers" being developed right now. Whisky comes to mind and there was another quite similar one, but I forgot the name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why would she (or anyone) buy a game without making sure their device can play it? Sure, it would be great if it were available on the Mac, but as a Mac owner, I would know to check that first. I don't blame her for wanting it to be available, but I read that she's asking for a refund because it won't work. If the average everyday buyer wouldn't get a refund, then she shouldn't either.

Hi Whoopi,

we agree, its annoying that blizzard didnt release d4 on mac when they made such a big deal out of M1 optimized wow a while back. Hopefully we'll get a 1 click solution once the emulation wrappers get figured out.

loved you in Sister Act 2: back in the habit

Doesn't it play fine with the new game porting toolkit thing Apple has now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

... like she's going to do that. lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Works great at 60fps on my M1 Max mbp, but a) you really have to use it on the Sonoma beta for the least problems. I made a Sonoma beta install on a separate SSD to not mess up my current install. And b) updates to Battle.net can break it, so you have to reinstall Battle.net if that's the case. Not a huge deal but that means going to terminal and inputting commands, etc. Not ideal. There are other programs that are supposed to 'smooth' out the install process, like Whiskey, but I haven't tried them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s part of Sonoma which won’t be released until September.

As long as you don’t use Steam games you can already use it on Ventura along the beta of XCode Command Line Tools

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As in using it bricks Steam games entirely, or you mean you can use it as long as you're using it on a non-Steam game? Curious to try it out this weekend but not if it breaks the rest of Steam =P

The Windows Steam Store crashes on launch, and you need it to launch Windows Steam Games
