A New Year and Nerd Moment...

 First let me say Happy New Year to those who stumble upon the blog. 2019/2020 were pretty fucked up years for me, but I'm here! Finally have a job and claw my way back to life. The world may still be in a covid-19 firepit, but there is hope in the vaccines. And once the possibilities of infection have dropped significantly, maybe we'll get back to the things in life that are gone or just close for a little longer. 

 Onward with the nerdism!

Apple has never had much luck in the world of electronic gaming. Wanna know more look up the "Pippen" by Apple. That will tell you a bunch. But times have changed, Apple has changed, and Apple's game changer is their M1 SOC (system on a chip). When it was rumored that Apple would produce their own CPU to go in their hardware, people said how and why (not realizing that they bought chip design company a long time ago, and forgetting that the A1+ chips are what goes into the ipads and iphones). All the reviews of the M1 products are raves! Intel is will regret not paying attention to Apples requests for better energy efficient chips for Apple devices. 

I say that to say this... The M1 AppleTV or M2 Mac Mini (with AppleTV software) are going to prove that Apple hardware can do gaming. The AppleTV can already do games, much like an iphone or ipad. Connect a bluetooth controller and you can play some games. Not console class games but a lot of games and cheaply. Once the M-Class chips go into the AppleTV, you'll start to see console class games being ported or produced for Apple in a big way, because Apple hardware will do what the consoles and PC gaming machines can do, high res graphics with no lag. This will be Apple's big step into gaming (and no one see's it coming).

To those who find this blog, thank you for reading. Take care of yourself and those that matter to you.
