I once posted on /r/MacGaming how pleased I was that I could run Horizon Zero Dawn on my M2 Air using Crossover, and how it seemed (to me) to run better than on my massive, old, water-cooled PC with an Nvidia GTX1060. I wasn't getting 120fps or anything, in fact, it was closer to 20fps at times. But I was running HZD on a fanless laptop, on an architecture on which it was never designed to run.

Foolishly, I was expecting a chorus of folks saying "yeah, cool, nice!", but what I actually got were a bunch of folks demanding proof.

So I closed Reddit, because it wasn't worth the arsehole.
