I'm not as heavily involved with gaming these days. Its mostly because most of my day is spent in and around computers and when I get home in the evening, I really don't want to spend my free time on them either. So, I don't.
When I get home from work, I check my email and Facebbook. I check to see what packages have been delivered from eBay or Amazon and then I usually go on to bed for the evening. It doesn't sound very glamorous, but it helps keep me fro9m burning out with my IT job. I
typically have my personal business wrapped up within 30 minutes of walking through the door and then I'm off to get ready for bed for the evening.
So what games do I play and when do I play them?
I do have Steam installed on many of my macs but there's really a limitation in the platform as to which games are made available. Out of a library of nearly 250 software titles, Steam has about 30 games in my library that will run on Mac. Sure, there are ways to add Windows games to mac but I really don't want to mess with it right now. And there's always Xbox for me to play or PS5 and PS4 and Switch so its not like I am lacking in other forms of entertainment.
Lately, I've been playing StarCraft and StarCraft2. I've always been a diehard Real Time Strategy fan and StarCraft has always been a favorite of mine. The first time I played StarCraft was on an old System 7.5 Power Mac. Of course we learned early that our computer was not up tot he task of playing the game when we found out the system needed 64MB of Ram to properly run the game. SO we hobbled along with 32MB and jittery cutscenes until my dad bought our first family PC.
I'ver toyed with Mac gaming int he past while using my frankenMac projects but even with the machine working flawlessly, gaming was not a priority. I have other computers for that but no real desire to take them out and set them up.
