BG3 has been running great on my Mac Studio using GeForceNow.  

Technically, that's not running on your Mac Studio… 

I've been not running it on my Mac mini M2Pro. GEForce Now has its problems, though, with the number of save files you can have being one, and dodgy network performance the other. Also I've been getting some very sub-par graphics performance with maps not rendering properly, but that probably isn't GEForce's problem, since I got similar issues running on my Ryzen box.

I just want the Mac full release because the Early Access doesn't support controller input, only Mouse and Keyboard, and I really don't like how that works.

I may also take the opportunity to restart, since I messed up some Act 1 stuff that I want to go back and fix.

Well, it's not like he's going to be giving any more interviews at this point. Certainly won't have been any since December 2020.

Just went through the quiz. Not that tricky, really. I guess it's a matter of speed, and that could be affected by your internet connection.

It's also possible I got one or two questions wrong, despite it being incredibly easy, because I may have misremembered something, but the questions weren't "super-fan" level, I feel.

Yeah, I'm another one waiting on the M3 MBPs. Haven't decided on 14" or 16" yet. Depends on pricing and relative battery life, I guess. Another 7 year old 15" MBP to replace, and I no longer need Bootcamp, since I bought a cheap NUC-like AMD box to run the games I can't run natively or in Parallels. 7 years is about I think how long my Black MacBook lasted before I bought the MBP, too. I wanted to upgrade earlier, but I always seemed to need the money for something more pressing.

Still, this is just an M3, not the variants. And, if Gurman's other reports are to be believed, we won't get those until next year.

I've been saying it for years, but the Newton has to be the most successful "failure" in history. Everyone says it was a failure, but it lasted for years in various guises, led to ARM becoming [i]the[/i] architecture for mobile devices (and eventually back to the desktop), and even spawned the whole PDA market that kept going until smartphones took over the functionality 15 years later.

I'm put in mind of a line about Charles Babbage and his attempts to build the Difference and Analytic Engines. (I don't remember the precise wording, however.) His attempts to build these machines led to advances and innovation in tool making and machining that moved a number of other technologies forward, even though ultimately he failed in his objective. That's the kind of failure I can accept.
