That game was the most fun I’ve ever had playing a video game. Lots of other great games have happened, but the low barrier to entry (buy-to-play instead of subscription) and the reward for slotting a useful 8 skills that worked well with each other and well with the other 7 or so people in your group cannot be beat.

I completely forgot the 12-inch one existed.

Okay, the old ones that apparently have both do have the Thunderbolt symbol on the ones that are, though, so what’s the problem?

Why would you need them on a MacBook? They’re always* Thunderbolt.

Edit: Better explained by GamingChairModel below. I entirely forgot one series of MacBook, and also forgot when the older ones did have the Thunderbolt symbol on them.

Sort of the thing that makes me think this one still has a ghost of a chance, but then I’ve liked the games The Chinese Room has made before mostly for their writing and music. I’ll probably be disappointed, but them at the helm doesn’t kill it for me like it probably does for people who wanted more of the original.

Is there a preferred metric to measure this by? I didn’t play the first one, but Wikipedia says “polarizing but ultimately positive,” and there’s an 80/100 metacritic score, for whatever that’s worth.

Your word picture is just so funny that I want to root for the game’s success just to be the person that quotes this comment and @s you, even if I tend to agree with your assessment.

And maybe I’m using it wrong, but it just…doesn’t work. I use spotlight search on my MacBook to find programs and things and it just finds them. It’s fast enough to be faster than me opening things off the dock.

I try to use the search on my wife’s Win11 computer and half the time it sends me to a website for a program she already has installed.

Like if you want to imitate, even badly, the imitation should at least be functional.

I’ve never been this thrilled to be wrong before.

The NMS comparison is confusing. NMS didn’t have an early access release. It just released and received substantial updates.

You’d be correct on that Airdrop assumption. I get most of Lemmy reflexively hates Apple, but Airdrop between two Apple devices you own is about as braindead simple as it’s possible to be.

Clipboard history next please. I mean I can keep using an app for it but it’d be nice if it was just a thing.

This has been my only experience as well. Some company I have to work with uses it so I have to use it for their stuff for some reason, unless I can force them to do anything else.

Can someone here explain why people use JIRA on purpose? Everything in it feels like garbage every time I have to interact with it.

Like I’d rather use GitHub projects. That’s how bad it feels.

It’s annoying sometimes, but it’s also pretty easy to recognize and ignore. Usually some variation of “you can’t even XYZ in OSX and that’s been a feature of whatever-I-use forever.”

Vague? Check. Outdated Nomenclature? Check. Circlejerk Popular Opinion on Lemmy? Oh that’s a big check.

I’m getting good enough at it now that I usually don’t even need to read half the comment before knowing it’s going to be worthless, downvote it, and move on.

Here’s hoping for better mod tools and a more diverse set of users as time passes. I’d love to get back to arguing that making all the ports on the MacBook Pro Thunderbolt ports was a way better idea than kowtowing to photographers who can’t be arsed to update their habits is (spoiler, I lose and get downvoted but still think I’m right), but I can wait.

Not being able to scroll recycled content all day has been hugely detrimental to me. I’ve actually started reading books again. BOOKS.

…not what I expected but I’d totally play that.

Why, though? If you already have it and it’s already hooked up to a lightning cable you already have, what would a refresh get you?

There’s a bit of comfort in only ever needing one type of cable, I guess, but I’m not sure it outweighs the hassle for me.

I didn’t, but I get why. It’s a specious argument — it doesn’t matter if 99% of them are useless. It matters if the 1% that become ubiquitous for whatever reason provide utility that makes the useless ones worth it.

Yeah you can run a company that never provides any time or resources to tinker, but only if you’re okay with innovation never happening again.

Hey at least I didn’t miss it in the options somewhere. Fingers and toes crossed for soon.

Is there a way to collapse comment threads on it I’m missing? I’ve been loving some of its other features (like being the only one I’ve found that stretches when I turn my iPad lengthwise).
