I play some native games on a M4 Max using Steam, with good performance.
Baldurs Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Crimson Desert, No mans sky, Darkest Dungeon 1,2, Warhammer Rogue Trader, and a few other CRPGs. Crossover Mac is also an option for Windows games.
If you’re a hardcore gamer, the Mac isn’t going to cut it but it’s a lot better now than it used to be.
I use Gemini, and rarely ChatGPT (usually once or twice a day). I ask very narrow, pointed questions about something specific I would like an answer to. I typically will verify that the solution is good/accurate because I've been burned in the past by receiving what I'd characterize as a bad solution or "wrong" answer.
I think it's useful tool, but whenever I have a LLM attempt to develop an entire feature for me, the solution becomes to a pain to maintain (because I don't have the mental model around it or the solution has subtle issues).
Maybe people who are really deep into using AI are using Claude? Perhaps it's way better, I don't know.
I'm glad they've been able to do this, looks like a huge improvement for HD2 on PC.
I've been on PS5 since launch and aside from Baldur's Gate 3, it's been the best game this gen IMO.
The negativity I see towards the game (especially on Youtube) is weird. Some of the critiques seem legit but a lot of feels like rage bait, which appears to be a lot of YT videos around gaming lately.
Anyway, a big improvement for a great game. Seems like less of an incentive now to uninstall if you only play now and then.
Typically 0.5 to 6 (max) in a single workday unless there's something urgent that needs fixing.
I also have meetings during the day, learning I want to do, etc., that takes up my 8 hrs/day.
I rarely max out all of my hours in a day purely programming unless there's crunch happening for a feature release, which is not a good sign. If I'm in crunch mode more bugs than usual are being created.
I program less time now when I first started. I am more efficient and I take more time to think of the proper solution before I even start.
If I were job searching, I'd probably be doing a lot more programming and learning to brush up before any interviews. I am not interview-ready. lol
I heavily agree. It’s something I had at my first office job. I had no email address, no messaging app, everything came through my PM or manager. Ive never been as productive as that job. Straight to work with no distractions and had clear goals.
