    Eh, I use Steam occasionally on my macbook, and it works reasonably well for my intended use: taking breaks at work. I didn’t choose to have a Mac, that’s just standard issue for my team, but my boss is cool with me running Steam games on it from time to time provided I get my work done.

    However, games just don’t run well on macOS, even with official support. The CPU just isn’t as powerful as my desktop, so I can’t play heavy strategy games, and the GPU isn’t much to write home about, so the few graphics-intensive games are out too. So I mostly play casual and story-heavy games on it, but only like once every other week or so.

    99% of my gaming is on my Steam Deck or my Linux desktop, I only use macOS for a small game here and there (usually Risk or a visual novel or something).
