Gaming's not too bad. Of the 241 games I own on Steam, 70% are playable on Mac.

Plus when I get a game that's playable on Mac, I KNOW that shit is gonna work. No fucking with .dll files or tweaking resolution or some bullshit.

gaming has really improved on Mac since Steam.

Have you tried Darkest Dungeon? I've currently got about 30 hours sunk into it.

No, but it looks so awesome! Worth it, you would say?

Also: fantastic comment on my post, by the way.. Funny enough, last game I could think of that passed the Bechdal test was Hyperdimension Neptunia.. That's a sure sign were in a bad place gaming wise.

definitely worth the scratch, especially since it's going to have two more areas once it is out of early access. Hard, kind of unforgiving, very playable.

If you're on the fence, look at BaerTaffy's youtube let's play to see if you like it.

Edit: It also technically passes the Bechdel Test, if you call what the characters do around the fire as "talking".

Update: yo this game is amazing.

Depressing and oppressive.

But amazing.

I dunno if we're steam friends, but you should add me. Same username as my Hubki id.

Coolcoolcool, I'll get it after I do my hmwk tonight. I need to get away from Monster Hunter anyways.

It's not just compatibility but also the graphics card. My retina MBP is from last Summer and it runs Kerbal Space Program like shit, even on low settings.
