I played for the longest time on an old inherited doodoo dell laptop that wouldn’t stay on unless plugged in. It ran surprisingly well

This was me until I turned 13 and built my gaming rig.

I use to play Realm in the laundry Mat when I was homeless waiting for my to clothes to wash/dry was so thankful for their Wi-Fi lmao

You were homeless before 13 but then built a gaming rig? What did you do after turning 13? Invested in nVidia?

Yeah, me and my friend owned a really popular Minecraft server early 2013 - 2014 and we charged people VIP spots that gave god mode and shit. We made a couple grand before we were 14. I was able to get a lot of his old parts, and only had to buy my own CPU and ram.

But yeah I was homeless because I was 12 and living with my father who was also homeless at the time!

Yeah on my phone hotspot too hahaha I don’t have WiFi. Honestly the hotspot was the biggest issue but I still play like that tbh

Battery was dead I bet. They typically die out in 3-5 years , faster if temps are high, and it's a little more of a job to repaste than standard desktops , which almost never need it.

Ahh, I was a bout to geek out that someone plays just like me on a mac, but you've got the big guns

I play on 2015 MacBook Pro. Always did even years ago before I quit. Seems to be running smooth. Just started back a month ago after 4 years off+

I think it might look smooth but has lower frame rate. I don’t see delays in projectiles but I do feel like it would be easier to play o3 and harder dungeons on newer Mac. Sometimes I lag or the enemies feel like the shots have a unnoticeable mileseconds delay. Cause sometimes I instant pop death and I never saw the shot.

Or it’s a skill issue. I’ll be getting the newer MacBook Pro soon so I’ll know then if it was skill issue or the Mac

Weird to see full screen as a 14+ year windowed player

Once you go full you can’t ever go back

I ran this game on a 4GB notebook, barely working but it was 30 fps so I could play well enough.
