@jamesthomson My M1 Mac Mini, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage is still 100 % fine. Ordered it in November 2020, barely a few days after the keynote. Would be nice to have a lot more performance in Xcode’s simulator and launching apps from a clean build, but that’s pretty much the only complaints. The current prices are staggering. Not sure about what I end up doing, but an early estimate: another Mac Mini with M7 Pro 🤷🏼‍♂️

@morrick I was thinking about this only yesterday! Tech Youtubers are notorious for this, because they will order a $3000 laptop with 14-day ”no questions asked” return policy or whatever, mske a review, monetize, return the laptop and then monetize again: ”I was wrong”.

@mijndert I agree. Why bother with the same handful of mainstream titles everyone else play when there are a billion different games out there on Steam, GOG and so on? I like the classic Quake II and III games, AoE II, the first StarCraft game, the second WarCraft game (WarCraft II) as well as old DOS games, but it’s much nicer to find my own favs. I have a big preference for playing single-player modes, though.

@morrick 😕. I looked him up on Wikipedia and if the text is accurate, his health wasn’t excellent, but I have a hunch there is more under the surface, like high stress or something else.

@mijndert Runs great on my M1 Mac Mini, but would be cool to have an iPad release to run on Mac as well as iPad. I think you would only need to read the resolution of the device and then stretch the screen area? Basically to make it fullscreen on bigger devices than iPhones, then double-check that it looks nice in the iPad Mini, regular and Pro models. Unless you add all the features you want in the game first and add more devices after that.

@mijndert Alright, hmm. ShareLink (SwiftUI) wasn’t stable for me in the past, but I think it’s more stable these days.

@mijndert I thought the image would be attached when I pressed the “Share” button inside the Burst game, but here it is, manually attached.

@mijndert My high score (via my M1 Mac mini running macOS 27 dev beta 1)

@morrick Have you ever seen “broken” recommendations, where the algorithm is actually listing topic headlines such as “Videos about animals” and then the videos In the list are political discussions or something like that (mixed with actual animal videos). It has happened to me on several occasions in the Apple TV Youtube app 😂
