@arcanicanis@PurpCat@coolboymew lol that takes me back. We had a few blessed devices with a dev-cert to produce builds on. I recall that BS $100 fee, good to hear it's apparently not a thing any more.
@coolboymew@PurpCat I used to be an app developer (years ago now), and no - you need a legit Mac to sign the final binary. Not sure if it's changed since then, but it was a big annoyance for our build system.
@coolboymew My last ever Mac purchase, I had tons of trouble wiping the drive to install a different OS. It was as if their boot firmware actively tried to prevent it. Anyways, I struggled to find the magic combination of peripherals to be able to do what I wanted.
In the end I needed a special keyboard. For some reason my other keyboard did not work for inputting the key commands for accessing the BIOS???
After working with it a bit, I can tell I'm really going to like my new keyboard. However, there are still a few things I need to tweak on it.
I really want to be done programming this thing, I feel like I've spent enough time on this keyboard. But if I finish the year without it being "done" I'll feel really bad about it.
@coolboymew This show is so good, really excited for the next episode!
This arc is really well done, and it's a nice change of pace from the slower opening. I like both, but it's nice that it's mixing in a little more action-centric stuff to keep things fresh, even if it's only for a bit.
@dielan I was pretty disappointed to see it win the best soundtrack at the VGAs. It's serviceable, but IMO pretty forgettable. Just felt like a similar kind of thing you'd get from some Hollywood movie or something, and we'll forget about it after everyone stops caring about the game. It definitely has an "identity" to its soundscape, but I'm not sure if I believe that's enough to set it apart from other soundtracks in any unique way.
I know that the VGAs are just a popularity contest, but it bugged me for some reason.
@coolboymew Maybe a dumb question considering your excitement, but is this game series worth playing?
I thought about getting it when they first took preorders for physical versions of those collections a while back, but I wasn't sure if it held up or was more something for people who grew up with them.
