Game Dev here. More specifically, audio director. Used to be tech sound designer and composer. I find it hard to explain even over here, among the geeks like me.

Is it possible you’re using your desktop’s GPU for ffmpeg encoding, and not the CPU, by chance?
I have to demonstrate to my friends every time how my MBP M2 blows my Ryzen 5950x desktop out of the water for my professional line of work.
I can’t catch quite the drift what x86/x64 chips are good for anymore, other than gaming, nostalgia and spec boasting.
Sound designer here. I always liked to tinker with digital stuff, and while I think %90 of the self hosted apps must’ve been simple .EXEs, I’m having fun setting them up around.
I thought Linux represents freedom but you sound like it’s a tyranny.
Android people here often have a Spec Champion phone… and a Daily Driver one.
I only have a daily driver iPhone I bought 6 years ago and it can still daily drive me.
Director had a wonderfully bad take about last two CIV games that’s still been on Steam’s daily concurrent top 100 games after all these years.
Lucky that I’m a misanthrope so I don’t care about leaving communities and acquaintances behind.

What.cd was filled with obsessive people that try to archive every version of a song. I think they moved onto Oink.
Also, check SoulSeek.
It’s a great entry point for Self Hosting. I learned a lot with it about hard to grasp concepts.
Used it for years until I felt ready to move on to Docker.
How about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord? It might be more action oriented than TW but still it’s a decent Kingdom-ing game.
If you like to have a Sci Fi flavor, give Stellaris a shot too!
I can understand people find Apple stuff outrageously expensive and locked down, but come on have some justice on its performance.
I have a dual boot Win/Linux PC with Ryzen 5800x, and an MBP M2 Pro laptop. MBP blows my PC out of the water for my job, which requires hundreds of layers of audio running bazillions of DSPs in real time. Even renders take 30% less time on M2 on my case. And that’s happening on battery.
I never get that much optimized power on my PC. I have to disagree there’s anything out there that performs better for a user just want to have the job done in a reasonable time.
I’d really like to see 2023 GOTY dev snatches Fallout from 2023 shit dev’s hands (Starfield, anyone?)
Owning a high end Apple device strongly suggests owning a high end console as well. Maybe the target demographics (rich gamers) already own those games on their favorite platform, so why buy it twice.
Looks cool!
How about the sound and the music? Are you doing these yourself as well?
My experience was quite the opposite, and I’m old enough to have played the first FPSs in their heyday.
I got lost all the time, couldn’t figure out which way to go, and quit the game in frustration about a third of the way through. I really wanted to finish it for nostalgia’s sake, and I really love arcade WH40K stuff.
Game’s aesthetics and feeling is tremendously well, by the way.
TBH “The whole world agreed on something” narrative doesn’t really reflect what happened.
Actually, The Industry dropped using CFC after a cheaper and luckily safer alternative has been discovered right around that time.
