Really cool thing you missed is that Sequoia received support for new joysticks:

* Wired Xbox 360
* Nintendo Switch N64 Controller
* Nintendo JoyCon Grip
* Wired Xbox ONE

I think these series are really lovely. Keep them up coming

I think the really hopeful answer to why Blizzard is working on an Apple Silicon native version of Diablo 3 and not Diablo 4 is because Diablo 3 is, at this point, the last game in the franchise to be native to macOS. The hopefulness is that this will be testing grounds for how popular this version of Diablo 3 will be, how complicated or easy the port will end up being, and if it will be worth it to make a Mac native version of Diablo 4.

I am a Mac Fan and I bought a M3 Air with 16 GB in June because I read about the „big Future“ of Mac Gaming. Now it seems there is not much left of those great words.
Sold it now for 1200, - € and bought a Tuf A15 for 799, - €
This runs nearly every Game with 80 FPS in Silent Mode ! Fans are off or extreme silent.
2 TB SSD 32 GB RAM Upgrade for 200, - €

I now have a silent premium Gamer for 1000, - €

M3 sold for 1200, - €.

Andrew is on fire with this lovely amount of videos recently. Thank you Boss!

Wasn't expecting a Mr Sujano style thumbnail. Next you're going to tell me that GPTK stands for Subscribe to Andrew Tsai

I play the game Project Zomboid and thanks to macOS 15.0 the game is finally running again. With about 370 mods activated, nothing worked at all. The game ran with 0 FPS. Now with 15.0 and 370 mods enabled, it runs almost smoothly. I think with 100 mods less, it will run smoothly.

Absolutely gutted that Natbro has left. Big loss.

Thanks Andrew. This is really helpful for me to see a summary instead of multiple smaller videos. Personally I would prefer you speak slower like in your other videos, I’ve been told that those that wish other to speak quicker would just do a 2x on YouTube themselves! Anyways… best wishes!

[HPMichalke]

thanks for the overview and your great inside into the scene. since I don't have the time to keep up with discussions and news on discord I greatly enjoyed your news feed and would be happy to see those around in the future.

Thank you, Andrew!
I'm a bit upset that at the moment we don't have a way to run games that use Easy AntiCheat through Crossover

[BrianJones-wkcx]

How Mr. Sujano of you! I like this format, would tune in for more!

[AlexVanceChannel]

We will be waiting for more news blogs! It is very useful

[givezaid]

That was high value content Andrew. Thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort

Apple has not only to increase the base specs, but also decrease the cost of upgrading RAM and SSD. It doesn't matter having 16GB/512GB minimum if they'll cost 400 bucks more. And I bet they'll do. Same thing happened when they last released a "cheap" 13" MacBook Pro to replace the one with the touchbar. It wasn't any cheaper, they simply halved RAM and SSD...

[petr-skuta]

Yes, do it regularly. Great overview for those of us who don't have time to follow stuff daily.

They are using Diablo III as a testbed for other possible ports.

I hope the Resident Evil 4 situation can be fixed with either getting rid of the requirement all together or if they absolutely must verify it was purchased that App Store bought games can be listed in a cache that is accessible without internet.

As far as anti-piracy it’s not the worst as it doesn’t bug down the game performance but is inconvenient for those who want to game on the go.. hence why it’s on a MacBook not a Mac mini or iMac

[Kahn_Wo]

The video format is great, I enjoyed it!

[robotman]

I would like it as a series personally. I get most of my Gaming news from Youtube anyway.
