halo has always sucked rear end but console owners think its amazing because it was the first console fps that was remotely playable.

it's not going to exist because apple is not going to target "the e-sports market"

if only there were some way to make a product that would sell to absolutely no one, as opposed to the rounding error of macs we currently sell

it took them 10 years to give up on making a lovely exclusive controller api nobody wanted and just let people connect their console controllers

half-assing it caused longer harm than no-assing it would have

Got my shiny 4K monitor to work with my 2018 Mac Mini... over a USB-C to HDMI cable... at 30hz :negative:

Either the Mac, the cable, or the monitor only suppots 4K over HDMI at 30hz, fml

Nobody in town even carries a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. Got one ordered from Geoff Bozos, should be here Tuesday (sorry Amazon warehouse employees).

the mac most likely. pretty good odds on the intel integrated graphics not supporting hdmi 1.3

e: or not, looks like it explicitly supports 4k over the hdmi 2.0 capable port

i wonder if the hdmi port on this mac is kinda wonky.

i can connect my PC monitor to it using an HDMI-DVI adaptor, but sometimes when booting the screen will be filled with static, and i have to unplug and replug the monitor from the mac before it'll start working.

i remember thinking years ago that they could literally just sell a set of gamepads that attached to the sides of existing iphones for an instant handheld + game controller for apple tv. nintendo sure seems to be hedging that bet with recent console design..

iirc they showed a prototype of such a thing, created by logitech, when they debuted mfi controller support for ios, but there was never anything official.

there have been some third-party attempts to chase that dragon, with limited success

they could have had a successful casual gaming console with iOS game ports on Apple TV if they just weren’t idiots about requiring games work with the dumb remote and not supporting the best controllers.

there were third parties that made gamepads that attach to the sides of iPhones. Apple did a terrible job supporting accessories like that, so the entire lightning accessory ecosystem is basically nothing but speaker stands.

shaggar is almost right

goldeneye may have been choppy and blurry in true n64 fashion, but sitting around with friends in a basement in grade/high school while doing 4 way split-screen deathmatch, then pelting the guy who always picked oddjob with pizza bagel bits because he's a douchebag was a good time. it was also a console game that actually supported widescreen in 1997

goldeneye was really bad and the n64 controller is probably the worst of all mainstream controllers.
