Is gaming on Macs more expensive than PCs?

 

A Mac is a computer that is running on the Apple brand. The company has been in business for over thirty years and they also sell some of the best computers and laptops. The Macs are designed to work well with the specific software, but they can be used with any type of software as long as it has been programmed for the Mac operating system. Other brands of computers have similar features, but there are companies that only make PCs that are cheaper than Macs, so yes gaming on a PC is sometimes cheaper than gaming on a Mac.

PC gaming is more common than Mac gaming, especially for the younger or newer gamer. Most gamers use the PC to find better games and at a cheaper price. Most PCs can run with no problem on a lower spec without any problems at all, but also some of those can have very high specs which will cost more money and actually make the games run much slower. PC gamers usually buy their games from online stores such as Steam, OnLive or Gamestop while a Mac Gamer will usually buy their games from the App Store and online stores that specialise in Apple products such as iTunes and Amazon.

The main reason why Mac games cost more than PC Gaming is because the games are digital. Apple has to apply a fee to their products whether you buy it from an online store or to download it directly from the App Store. While PC have not applied any fees, they usually offer deals on bundles of software and games that cost less than buying them separately. The prices of these downloads are usually lower than buying them from an online store because when you buy cheaper bundles and digital downloads, you will get more discounts.

The other difference between Mac Gaming and PC Gaming is there is no difference in graphics or graphics cards. Most PCs have the ability to run with Windows, but some do not even have graphics cards. The games on a PC run on the CPU and the games that have been made are compatible with the graphics cards, which is not usually available in Macs.

Macs have more ports than a PC would have, so it might be problem if you wanted to connect more devices at once. The new Macs do come with USB ports and SD card slots, but Mac books usually do not come with any other ports until you buy one that has them. The accessories and hardware for computers can end up costing a lot. Especially if you are using an older Mac model and it does not support iCloud or Airplay, then you will need to buy extra stuff just to connect your computer to other devices such as your TV or monitor.

Macs offer a lot more than PCs when it comes to having features such as tablets and phones included. They also have the iTunes Store which is one of the biggest sources of music online and movies available for rental or purchase. Macs are compatible with other Apple products such as iPads which make it easier to use Mac Combo Coding, so if you want a multi-functional device that is built for different types of users then a Mac might be the best option for you.

Gaming on a Mac might cost more than gaming on a PC, but both of them can cost cheap depending on how much you spend on your PC or Mac laptop.

My Old PSP The Handheld Game Console

It's not a Switch Lite, but it's the next best thing!The original PSP was the shit. Seriously... So far ahead of its time and massively under appreciated for what it was.

The Vita was also an amazing piece of technology. The original, OLED screen, solid graphics, great capability. One of the most mishandled pieces of technology. Stupid proprietary overpriced memory cards really helped kill it. Trying to have overpriced Cellular models etc etc etc.

They were gonna put Oblivion on it! I don’t remember why it never happened though.

Not just under appreciated but Sony just crapped on it in general. Stuff like Gran Turismo PSP bring announced as a near-launch title, getting every cargeek hyped (and convincing me personally to buy a PSP) only to turn out the footage they showed was fake and was in fact downgraded PS2 Gran Turismo footage, there had been no development on the game at all, and the game wouldn’t get a release until 5 years later.

I definitely invested a significant portion of my childhood on Hotshots Golf and that ATV game. The PSP was so of its time, and it was massively unsupported by the company that released it. Figure it out.

Really simple to do, and now I can play Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games as well as OG PlayStation games! There are other emulators, but I don't really need/want them.

I used to have one that had every single NES Super NES and Sega game on it. Girl I was seeing stole it when I broke up with her. Still think about tracking her down and choking her every now and then. But meh.

I did enjoy my hacked PSP back in the day. Too bad my ex was the one who set it up for me and he ended up being a cheating asshole so I stopped playing my PSP shortly after we broke up. I didn't remember how he set it all up and I got sick of the games I had on it.

I'm sad that the Vita flopped too. I mean I'm a lifelong Nintendo fan, but there are some Playstation exclusive titles that I would have loved to play on the Vita, had they actually made games for it.

My first attempt at a backlight controller

Used just plain store bought leds and switch, soldiered to the battery terminals.

Leds don't really heat up especially really low power ones, i mean if you left it on for like 40 hours it may get warm.

For a first attempt that's pretty sick. If the objective is to not have those two small pinkish-hue parts not to shine through the opaque white parts (and only around the analog sticks and through the clear parts like the buttons), I could put electrical tape on the underside of the white part to block the pink from shining through. If it's intended, then it looks great!

I honestly don't know the names of the parts, just some generic 3v leds soldered in parallel and a switch + wire recovered from a broken speaker.

The color is customizable. They are fixed right now, however i want to order some small rgb led control boards so i can make it spectrum cycle. They are low power leds so i dont think it will be that big of a problem, maybe a couple hours shorter battery life.
