Is there any benefit to playing games on a Mac, or is it really just preferred for creative works?

Mac is overpriced shit either way

No. Thanks to Valve if you don't want to game on Windows you should be on Linux.

>>718903183
So fat, you look and see food

>>718903438
There is, especially with this one. The fatass is claiming that Windows is bad because it is "cheap" and "runs slow", but this is completely subjective and the last one is wrong on its face. He probably had a shitty old computer and so naturally any new computer he bought with any OS would be faster. Meanwhile a Mac is somehow better because it is completely locked down and you can't do anything with it unless daddy Apple gives the go ahead. And that's not even bringing Linux into the debate.
Also how can a computer be "good for you"? Like in a health sense?

>>718903372
buy an ad

Mac isn't even better for creative stuff. One of the best parts about the adobe suite is that you can customize every single shortcut key. It isn't functionally better between windows or mac, so I really have no idea where this idea even came from.

>>718903625
Back in the late 90s/early 00s macs were almost universally used by creatives in advertising/marketing companies.

>>718903625
Hipsters and Apple advertising

>>718903005 (OP)
The dumbest thing was that back then he was complaining that his mac was old and slow. It's like buying ancient busted Porsche that doesn't run and pretending you're better than the dude in some budget car.

>>718903571
>>718903457
I don't know man his food analogy was completely clear to the 3 of us. It doesn't mean he is right, he just means he made his point and that proves there is nothing wrong with >food analogy yet again

>>718903625
That was how it was marketed and the suckers who boughted repeated the marketing blurbs for free

>Porsche has stripped gears
>meanwhile a Civic is doing 90 on the interstate comfortably

>>718903690
Macs aren't even good. I got one in college and I just installed windows XP on it. Yes I'm old, but I'd still use XP if they still supported it.

Macs were
>the retard choice
>the only way to run some of the best audio/video/photo editing programs for a long time
Now that pretty much everything worth running is on Windows, they only fit the former category anymore. But it used to be dire on Windows from a creative standpoint.

I trust Honda to still be making vehicles that will outlive their first buyers.

These are surprisingly good. Is he using AI?

>>718903005 (OP)
What does he mean by "problems"?

>retarded soifaggot uses food analogy
evertim

>>718904649
he's shown his actual animation in the past, before AI was really a thing. It's easy to assume that Dobby is just untalented because he's a lolcow, but he's actually not that bad all things considered. Chris chan is a lolcow and is undeniably terrible at art. I would love to see chris do animation.

Dobby is just a genuinely average artist who is also decent at animation. His main problem were his shitty opinions and his need to defend them.

>>718903005 (OP)
>for creative works
I use Krita on Windows.

>>718904819
>His main problem were his shitty opinions and his need to defend them.
More like his main problem was literally everything but his art.

>>718904819
>>718904982
nah dobbo was based, bunch of seething losers doesn't change that, he was funny as hell and his takes were always on the money

>>718904982
well he did also trace shit for things he planned to sell.

>>718903681
Yeah, because Apple paid them. Macs fucking suck donkey aids ridden cock and anyone who uses them is a faggot.
>t. music major graduate who was forced to use one for his courses and finals

>>718904819
He doesn't even need to defend his opinions, but he's such a schizo that he invents people who oppress him by hating him for his opinions.

>>718905045
Don't be disingenuous dobby. You flip tables if anyone so much as dares to offer constructive criticism on your art. You have shitty work ethics (fucking quitting a delivery job after one day lmao) and you have this abhorrent need to rewrite history to make yourself come out like some fucking hero when you do fuck all.

>>718905114
yeah that's called a strawman. almost every webcomic artist does this. it's not good, but it's not new.

>>718905132

>>718905179
Yeah that too.

>>718905045
>his takes were always on the money
Nah. Like Moviebob he was terminally obsessed with the American cartoon versions of Nintendo characters and was angry at Link not having brown hair and Princess Peach not having popeye arms like in the DIC cartoons

I like my Macbook Pro and it has some games on but I wouldn’t call it a gaming machine. Bought it used.

I play gamecube and use photoshop and torrent and use garageband on my 2017 mac and it makes you apes foam at the mouth.

I like guitar pro. i can click on the staff and it makes the noise.

I recently got a cheap used Macbook just to try it out, and I think anyone who claims it's easier to use than Windows is lying.
Wanna take a screenshot? Command+Shift+3.
Wanna check your CPU temperature? You're gonna have to run "sysctl" in your terminal and then manually know which value to grep out of it.
Wanna update to a newer version of MacOS from anything older than like two versions ago? You'll need to go to the Apple website, find a specific page with a special update link to open the specific update you need in the App Store, and only through that link can you find the new version of MacOS in the App Store to update it with.
Wanna know if your third-party software is compatible with this newer version of MacOS? You can't. Either it runs or it doesn't, and there's no explanation or reasoning for why it might or might not. A game from 2016? Too old, not supported! A game from 2013? Yea that's fine.

>>718903372
I find the Zelda one hilarious because it's very clearly his take on Zelda (super informed by the old cartoon, Captain N, and the localized media at the initial release) but he's trying REALLY hard to frame it in a way that will get people to think it's closer to what Zelda was like "at the beginning" rather than just being his take.

>>718905647
>Wanna know if your third-party software is compatible with this newer version of MacOS? You can't.
i only begrudgingly work on macs when a customer brings one, but isn't this just 32bit app support being completely axed

>>718903005 (OP)
PC is better

>>718905769
Yes. I wish I could play half life 2 and the original fall out on my ‘17 mac easily

>>718905045
He is based because Anons are still obsessed with him to the point of it being a mental illness, and this is like a decade after he stopped posting comics. Based as fuck dobby living in their heads rent free!

>>718905769
Which apps from what time period are potentially 32-bit? And how do I know that without just trying to run the app?

>>718905873
/v/ became the all of the day bro comic
>what about other autist

>>718903054
A better comparison would be:
Windows=Family diner food
Mac=Overpriced uppity restaurant food
An image of windows as a plate from dennys with some young hot waitress and a image of mac as a 100 dollar sushi roll (lol) with some cult of personality chef behind it telling you you're a stupid pig.
I need top artists to do this for me and I have 5 dollars cash I can mail you.
Then linux has to be something that's difficult to eat, but also shit. Like crabs.

>>718903625
logic/GarageBand was pretty intuitive decades ago but nowadays there are tons of alternatives.

>>718904649
Dobson isn't bad at art, what really brings him down is being a genuine anti-social sperg jaded and disillusioned from comics
animation taking longer and not needing to be as detailed per frame has allowed him to do it in a far more focused and manageable way

>>718905856
>original fall out
tried community edition?

Linux is like that meme image of blizzdrones slurping up shit and screaming at everyone

>>718905647
Mac users are generally retards with no critical thinking skills and don't know enough to want to do any of those things. When they say "Macs just work!11!" they really mean "Using a PC is too hard :'("

>>718906172
IDK it's not actually shit, but for what it's worth I tried linux for a while and imo windows is the superior option for gaming, despite all it's bloatware. It's fun to maybe have a side computer that runs linux as a hobby.
Games did run smoother on linux because there aren't 50 background spyware applications running at all times, but the support for the games isn't built in or automated like on windows. You really have to fuck around to simply get linux to register your sound card, let alone get a game running. It's a hell of a lot of work for a slightly better (negligible) gaming experience. I think most people who use linux aren't gamers first. Apple OS is legitimately the worst for gaming because there's almost zero support and you can't find any workarounds because it's a closed system.

>>718905647
MacOS is designed to be generally retard-proof and you still find retarded minor things to whine about. Next you’ll
bitch that it doesn’t have a start menu.

>>718906409
>>718905984
So really, the best food analogy image for linux would be just the ingredients and you have to assemble them yourself.

>>718906409
>Being so closed source and locked down you can't even employ solutions because the people who made the thing insist on it being perfect and they think you are basically stupid
Vs.
>Being so open and DIY that you literally have to do almost everything yourself that even if you get it to run a vidya you might have to work to get sound out of the damn thing

I'm still hoping something like Steam OS will fix things and make it more user friendly but I doubt it. I don't even know how the damn thing works and how it sets itself apart from the other multitude of distros apart from "Wow! it vidya on Linux!"

>>718906616
>linux is raw porkchops, rice and fresh vegetables
>try to fry the porkchops, they're frozen to their container and you need to excise them
>the vegetables have insects in them and need to be washed
>after cooking, try to salt the dish and it jumps off the plate on to the floor, you have to start all over again

>>718906653
>Steam OS
This has been a step in the right direction, the more users adopt linux the more people are going to be writing code to make the games playable. It's just currently windows has the most games, linux has the second most games, mac OS has the least games. I can actually reccomend Mac if you are using a computer just as a browser, it's really the best computer for tech illiterate people. MacOS, Computers for grandma, you cannot fuck it up even if you try.
>I don't even know how the damn thing works and how it sets itself apart from the other multitude of distros
It basically makes video game support in the GitHub model, so there's one website you go to that has all the different solutions and workarounds other people have tried in order to get a game working. If a game isn't working on your machine you go to that website and there may or may not be a list solutions you can try. It sure beets searching around on google, but you're going to end up searching around on google anyways if there isn't a solution and you aren't writing code like me.

What a pussy, lol. I quit a delivery job after two days.
Should've quit the first day, though, it was a borderline scam

>>718906959
Did you do your first day thinking that as the new recruit you'd be doing fuck all but sit in the van? Because he sure did.

can you become a lolcow, or is it just a title that is bestowed upon you

>>718903005 (OP)
There is no good reason to use mac over PC, period. Every reason is contrived bullshit, so might as well choose the reason you like best.

>>718907159
I think some people have tried to become one funnily enough and while very few are successful over fooling internet (Nikado) most just fail after people realize its more of a self humiliation ritual stunt and are buried. Really most of the commotion comes from "Oh, this person really is this way? huh wow." once that's over then its gone.

>>718906937
Yeah there's a good reason why normies swear by Mac while most able minded people just reject it. Their "closed garden" methodology isn't friendly especially for those who want to endlessly tinker with a game or settings.

>It basically makes video game support in the GitHub model, so there's one website you go to that has all the different solutions and workarounds other people have tried in order to get a game working.

all in all i made ~9 dollars that day in a 6 hour shift but spent a quarter tank of gas and had to jumpstart my car three times. That probably doesn't even cover the cost of the electricity. It was ~100 dollars a tank to fill my car at that time. So I spent 16 dollars + the cost of the proprietary delivery bags they make you buy ($80). 96 dollars to find out that it wasn't feasible for me to do that job.

>>718907906
Oh. Food delivery.
His was package delivery.

>>718907947
So how do you fuck up a salaried delivery position? You've won just by getting hired.

>>718907980
He legit thought all he'd do as the fucking new recruit is drive the van and sit around while his partner does the loading/unloading from the warehouse/recipients.
When he learned that the snowy conditions just let them load the meager parcels they had onto a couple of sleds to deliver in what was a small route (on account of him being new I guess), he begrudgingly did the work for the day or like half the day and then quit.

>>718903005 (OP)
The place I went during my intership only used Apple computers, they had Steve Jobs pictures on the wall and they hated Windows with a burning passion, it was kinda creepy.

>these faggots get jobs but i get ghosted from fucking supermarkets

>>718908115
Yeah they're probably gonna make the new guy do the grunt work, if anything his partner would be sitting in the van. Sounds pretty fucking entitled. Fuck me I'd be happy to have that job, sounds chill as fuck, he must not have to work.

>>718908274
>>718908280
Ok so I got the roles wrong and he was the drop off guy, but it's apparently only 20 fucking packages.

>>718908413
If he had just made it over the hump of getting physically fit that position would be golden. I can understand getting a labor job and feeling like dying after your first day, but you keep doing it and eventually its like doing nothing at all.

>>718908504
His whole thing against it was just screeching that they hired him to sit around in the truck until it comes to their delivery stops, not to haul packages to customers with every tool at their disposal.

>>718908713
>haul packages to customers with every tool at their disposal.
Probably part of the job description mind you, but some employees are just dicking around being little shits who will argue their rights when you ask them to do anything. Mostly teenagers. Once knew a guy who refused to cut tomatoes because he had a legal right to refuse unsafe work and hadn't been trained how to use the tomato slicer.
it was me

>>718903438
a food analogy is like mcdonalds. you barely "make a point". non-food analogy is proper food, it is simply better.

Did Gil Amelio have the money to splash around paying people to use his computers? In the 90s Apple was lucky that some people were using them at all. If it wasn't for the US government suing Microsoft then there probably wouldn't be an Apple anymore.

Dobson was always good at animation if you look at his old works, the problem is that you can be good at animating but bad at drawing. He could have went places if he just took the time to learn proper anatomy instead of sticking with his Garfield characters
