Kojima Announces all future games from Kojima Productions will come to Mac starting with Death Stranding.
Apple announces a game porting kit for developers to easily convert graphics to Metal.
Game mode with reduced latency, and GPU and CPU priority for game code.

Is it enough to get Bungie to make a Mac version of Marathon?

Wouldn't that be cool?

What didja think of Apple Vision Pro?

I think I will enjoy it flopping like the Newton.

Okay, Debbie Downer. (Why would you ENJOY it flopping? I don't even ...)

I think it's tech's insistence on pushing VR and AR even though people just don't seem to want it. The numbers back this up.

Maybe they don't want it the way they didn't want mp3 players before the iPod. I think they don't want it because up to now they've all failed to live up to the hype. I mean, you might be right, but you could be like all the crackberry dudes who thought a phone without the chicklet keyboard was a crazy idea.

The video where that dad is at his daughter's birthday party with the headset on, recording a 3D video through it was just ridiculous enough for me to know nobody would wear this during important events.

Not really more ridiculous than all the parents with their smart phones recording everything or with their camcorders before that.

The following is just my opinion, but none of this is going to really catch on until we get either holodeck or matrix jacking. Nobody wants to wear this shit. You can't even get people to wear cheap, light, plastic glasses for 3D movies, which is why 3D TVs died.

I'd watch Avatar with it. I've heard one writer say it was better than in the theater. I like going to the movies socially, though, so I'm not a fan of tech that is potentially contributing to our isolation from other people.
