Dear ICCupers,

I am on a motherfucking Macintosh.

The fact that I'm not running the anti-hack is not my choice. I am not hacking, cross my heart and hope to die.

Fuck.

Love,
chobopeon

PS If the shitty way I play is hacking, I have a lot to answer for.

virtual machines are a pain in my ass.

anyway, i'm bringing up my old desktop and i'm going to game off of that.

this is half me being mad at icc and half me being mad at mac's gaming community.

gah.

frankly,

i'm bringing up my old PC desktop from my old house. i'm going to game on that and use the mac for all other purposes.

mac's are excellent except when it comes to games. this is common knowledge, though, and if you didnt know

consider this fair warning!

also - a dual boot could work but i'm just going end up with my old pc anyway so !

I consider Macbooks better for bringing to school, so that's why I got one. It's just a pain in the ass to put games on it, which kind of sucks.

Ever since Lan latency became super popular its impossible to play without. It feels like a completly different game without it. Micro isn't even worth doing on non lan. So fugly and slow. I'll ban you for the rest of my life, sorry mate.

In my current grad class it's come up about 4 times that 'people who have macs at home can't do this' so I think it's safe to say

MACS SUX0RZ!!1

that doesn't really mean much of anything

just because the mac may or may not be of use to you specifically says next to nothing about its uses overall. also, you are probably not aware of many/most of the things macs do well!

but i'm not really here to sell macs to you and right now i'm a little ticked off at for the lack of options regarding icc!

i blame society.

I often hear 'DAMN I ONLY HAVE MAC' and I never hear 'DAMN I ONLY HAVE PC' and I do think that says something.

Can you name something macs do that I need?

how would i know what you need? like i said, macs are good for some, not so much for others

do you work/create any multimedia? macs have some great tools for that on the software and hardware end. also, it's awful nice to not crash on a regular basis/ever, nomsain?

if you just game - which is what it sounds like - of course, macs are not for you.

i'm not trying to sell you a mac here, i don't know why this thread has turned into this :D

I'm guessing you don't work much in the command line; you'd be hard-pressed to find a power-user who prefers DOS to a UNIX-compliant bash shell.

And I was just talking about my own experience... and I think that's sufficient to draw some preliminary conclusions.

do you work/create any multimedia? macs have some great tools for that on the software and hardware end.

What do macs do better with multimedia?

also, it's awful nice to not crash on a regular basis/ever, nomsain?
Actually no I don't. I've never owned a mac, but I've spoken to mac users who do lots of cg etc and they claim macs crash just as much. Maybe it is better now than it was a few years ago.

if you just game - which is what it sounds like - of course, macs are not for you.

i'm not trying to sell you a mac here, i don't know why this thread has turned into this :D

It turned into it because you weren't happy with my claim that macs aren't good for me.

yeah, i was pissed, it's true.

this just turned into a breakup blog

makeup sex blog next? stay tuned.

anyway, sorry you took the tone of my posts like that! if i was unhappy with anything it was with macs and lack of icc tbh!

(although i will not take back my claim that os x is significantly more stable than windows - i cant imagine who you are talking to and what kind of hammer they must be hitting their macs with to make it a close comparison)
