Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

I'm getting a pc 4 my bday so Ive just been buying good games for when the time comes and p,acing binding of Isaac and frozen synapse? They're both on mac and you might enjoy them:)

[–]12barney 0 points1 point ago

Playing I meant

[–]phlap 1 point2 points ago

Sell it, buy a PC...

...a car, a house, a major oil company, a helicopter, a swimming pool, , the Taj Mahal, the worlds largest diamond & why not free Africa from poverty with the money you get from selling it.

Basically, Mac's are expensive. That was what I was getting at.

I know that feel so hard.

[–]FistyMcDickface 0 points1 point ago

There is Steam for Mac.

[–]12barney 1 point2 points ago

yes, but very few games

[–]FistyMcDickface 0 points1 point ago

What about Origin? I don't own a Mac but it seems it wouldn't be good for gaming anyway seeing as it has a pretty bad graphics card.

[–]12barney 1 point2 points ago

i'm afraid you're wrong on that one my friend, The macbook pros and the big macs have very good graphics cards. They are potentially very good gaming computers but there are not many games. I don't know about origin. /r/gaming doesn't speak of it well.

[–]FistyMcDickface 1 point2 points ago

Ah i see they've made some improvements but the graphics card is not what i wouldn't call powerful. It's definitely good but there's much better options. I'm sure the gaming community will realize the potential of Mac one day.

I know, that's why i'm buying the beasty alienware instead

[–]FistyMcDickface 0 points1 point ago

Noooo!! Please build you own. It sounds like a daunting and needless task but i guarantee you can build something that blows and Alienware out of the water for $1000 cheaper. Head over to r/buildapc and theres lots of stuff for gaming pc builds.

[–]12barney 1 point2 points ago

I need a laptop really and I presume they are harder to build

[–]FistyMcDickface 1 point2 points ago

Yeah they are, It's better to buy a decent laptop to start with. Then buy part by part upgrades like better graphics cards and what not. There's lots of good tutorials on YouTube.

[–]12barney 2 points3 points ago

Never thought I would get so much help and logic from someone with a username like that! Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind!

[–]lastmanonreddit[S] 0 points1 point ago

Agreed, any game that is available for mac runs pretty well on my 2010 mbp. Just a shame about the availability. I never thought of checking origin...
