Lacto-ovo vegetarianism is a thing. It’s pretty common in both the Western world and in religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. Vegetarian ≠ Veganism.
I’m personally lacto-ovo, I don’t avoid egg and milk products but do avoid things made from flesh like rennet-curdled cheese, gelatin, meat, etc.
Thats awesome! Model Ms sound and feel so nice. I really didn’t get it til I typed on one in person. Now I have one as my work keyboard.
Sorry for taking a bit to get back to you. So just tested it, my fans are sitting around 3200-4700 rpm but I forgot to mention its on a well ventilated stand.
dB(A) reading from my phone was about 35 away from my Mac, very quiet, and next to my Mac was reading 45 dB(A). This is according to the NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) app for iOS. Unsure of how calibrated an iPhone is for dB(A) ratings but thats compared to a baseline.
The fans spin, but really slow, and even with open back headphones they’re hardly audible. Like a whisper compared to other games (or even BG3 on CrossOver).
I also have a 14” MacBook Pro, M2 Pro, and I have the game at:
• 2560x1440 on an external monitor (laptop display for discord) • All high or ultra settings • FSR set to high quality • Capped at 60fps • Low Power Mode off • DOF off
I can’t speak for M1 generation or non-pro M2, but it runs amazing on the base M2 Pro. Before the macOS release I logged over 160hrs with CrossOver; my biggest issue being Lower City in Act 3 being a slideshow.
Now with the official release, its running well with nearly maxed settings (2x vsync and disabled DOF) @ 1440p. Also doesn’t really spin up the fans all that much, definitely handles better than say Cities Skylines or late-game Civ 6.
I’m surprised you’re only at medium settings, my M2 Pro is handling 1440p at mostly maxed settings (disabled DOF as it’s too aggressive and only double buffered vsync. I don’t have an FOS readout but it’s pretty good compared to before with Crossover and medium settings.
Edit: followed the terminal command to show the Metal info and BG3 floats around 45-50fps ingame. Haven’t gone back to Act 3 yet so still not sure how it’d handle it. The FPS is stable enough that as a turn based RPG it’s quite playable.
It’s from the Touhou game series (shoot em up with anime girls based loosely on folklore). The song was originally level music for Touhou 4 (1998), but got remade in 2006 for an official album.
Touhou fans are pretty die hard and the Bad Apple music video was many fan’s introduction to the franchise. Take that and the relative ease of recreation and it’s becomes a more than decade old meme.
Parallels was rough, couldn’t get Crossover to work at first, and also played the first few hours in a Windows VM. Did you also have missing textures everywhere?
Using Crossover and bg3dx11.exe on my M2 Macbook Pro I’ve been able to sink at least 160 hours (3 multiplayer campaigns, one complete solo campaign, and starting a second solo) into the game so far. Even most mods are playing nicely (if they support manual installs).
I’m excited for the official macOS release so that hopefully I won’t have to deal with weird graphical bugs and Act 3 won’t slow down as much.
And in my experience it helped, previous phones from Apple, Samsung, and HTC got squirrelly around 10-15% after 2-3 years of use.
With the throttling they implemented (to prevent batteries shutting off) I made it to just above 1000 charge cycles on my current phone. Still was only unstable around 4-6% battery with 81% battery life.
Honestly the first android phone in years that’s caught my attention and if I hadn’t just gotten a new battery for my 12 mini I would’ve greatly considered the Zenfone.
Guess what? An ATV natively supports keyboards and game controllers over Bluetooth. So for someone who doesn’t have an iPhone (the remote app is baked into iOS unfortunately) and reeeeeally hates tv remote typing and voice inputs, a mini keyboard is a viable option.
You really didn’t do any research before making so many hot takes.
