I would rate this game so much higher if I wasn't roadblocked from completing it by one bugged map that won't launch.

Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in typewriter.

STOP PRETENDING TO BE A RANDOM USER IN ORDER TO SELL THINGS

I think this might be the most insulting trend in current advertising. You're not fooling anyone. Just stop.

Like I replied to another comment, the Mac was necessary for work (art and music) and was light years ahead of anything else that can be obtained at its price point ($575).

Thanks for the Beelink rec, though.

Really interesting take, especially on the home lab front. I had honestly never considered a steam deck over a pi5, and I'm looking at also building a MESHnet system and stuff that I would need a Pi for.

Both new ones are excellent.

Not FPSs, but pretty much any strategy game set in either world war lets you play vs the US.

Company of Heroes, Steel Division, Hearts of Iron, Great War: Western Front, etc.

Of course, you'd have to play as Nazis or the Red Army, but there ya go.

Good shout with Cevo. One of the few angles I haven't looked super deeply into is a Linux machine. Time to study.

Yeah, that's unfortunately the conclusion I'm reaching. I was hoping there was an angle I hadn't considered yet.

Maybe I'll just give in and do a year sub to GeForce and then reassess prices next Xmas. I definitely can't afford to build a new machine now, but a lot can happen in a year.

Sorry, but the Mac is for art and music. I make money with it, its non-negotiable.

Please point me to a comparable PC build that can be had for a total price tag of $575, since that's what I shelled out for the Mac.

If you can't, why did you even make this comment?

I upgraded from my 15 year old PC to one of the new Mac Minis at Xmas last year, thinking that I would be fine for gaming with my Xbox / Game Pass, and I would "skip a generation" on PC hardware. I have a small Steam / Epic library, but everything that didn't work on MacOS, I had a Game Pass version of.

Fast forward a year. Xbox shit itself, RAM and GPU prices / 2026 outlook are dismal, etc etc

What's my best option going forward for gaming? The only option I see right now is cloud gaming like GeForceNOW, but it seems like such a ripoff.

Any advice?

Edit- a lot of people are fixating on GamePass. I canceled my GamePass sub when the price went up. I no longer have it.
