Arkham Collection as a whole is worthwhile purchase IMO. It nails the mood and atmosphere of Gotham. While emphasizing on Batman’s ability as a detective as an important factor to the gameplay.

Arkham City is a sequel to Arkham Asylum. I say go in order.

Protest the Hero was my first concert. Saw them with The Number Twelve Looks Like You and Misery Signals. Was an amazing time for a 16 year-old.

Jesus, that was over 14 years ago…

This, it’s so relaxing and satisfying.

Also would add Unpacking as well.

The tools for this are interesting. But I think the headline was slightly misleading to be called a Proton-like tool. This is more of a diagnostic tool than a translation layer to play games for troubleshooting than anything else. Even maxed out M2 Ultra devices are only getting like 30-40 FPS on Cyberpunk because of how many resources the tool uses. I personally hope it does incentivize some devs to port to macOS as a primary Mac user. Devs need to see a cost benefit to do it. Apple convincing one dev per year to port a AAA game to Mac is not enough of an effort to actually convince people of anything.

That being said, Apple has had very inconsistent messaging regarding gaming in the past. And Steve Jobs notoriously did not care for gaming. Really, the only gaming success they are having right now is mobile games. And despite on/off rumors of a dedicated gaming device. I would just not be encouraged based on the majority of offerings on Apple Arcade that there would be much worthwhile. The only reason I even have it is because my phone plan includes it. Otherwise I would never touch it.

I regretfully still have mine. Mostly because I love sports and a lot of Twitter accounts I follow for news are still active. And accounts like Wario64 for when things go on sale for games or 4K blu-rays. That said, Elon will never get my fucking money.

Neither will spez.

I don’t know if it will be the end. But the quality is likely to go down. The power users were using 3rd party apps. And without a lot of those being around. It’s going to go down in quality like Twitter did when Elon acquired it.

What will really kill them is when they officially go public. That will kill the site dead.

It’s a website tracking the subreddits that are private. Here is the link: https://reddark.untone.uk/

Have Reddark on a tab. Seems like the number of private subs keeps dropping. :(

Are they caving or is something nefarious up like what happened to r/AdviceAnimals and r/tumblr yesterday?

I was always curious in these. I would follow sites like anythingbutipod back in the day. Cowon was usually the big one that I always wanted to try. But I could never justify the pricing to play lossless audio and also invest in quality headphones to take advantage.
