How do you cope?

M3 MacBook Air supports two external screens if you close the lid.

I’m the weirdo who regularly uses all three. I think a lot of Mac people use one screen because MacOS has better desktop switching than the other two OS, especially if you’re using a trackpad. I personally use two screens but have used as many as three.

When I was a kid I bought one of these weird magnifying lens/lighting attachments for my game boy so I could play it when I was supposed to be asleep. I know what you did somehow desecrates the historical hardware but if I had the opportunity to get that mod in 1990 then I would’ve done whatever I could to afford that backlit screen!

Valve was selling their controllers for $5 to blow out the stock (one per account).

Also to be fair they tried to kill PSN store on the PS3 but the resulting backlash made them realize to do so would kill customer faith in the PS4 and PS5 PSN stores and so they backed off. Nintendo could only get away with it because they already trained us not to trust their online stores and buy physical only. Since Steam doesn’t have a physical option they need to play their cards right.

Linus Torvalds uses MacBooks.

Can’t you set this up as a cronjob?

Nintendo has a pretty good track record for not releasing unfinished garbage on day one. My kid pre-ordered Tears of the Kingdom and there was nothing but happiness.

Depending on your configuration, you can pass a gpu to your Windows VM so you don’t even lose any performance if you use Windows for gaming. All you need is an iGPU and a few extra cores/ram to handle the host overhead.
