TRYING OUT DIFFERENT FORM FACTORS
-performance but also a bit of a playthrough for the few folks that requested

In this footage, I am playing FromSoftware's Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, on the base mac mini m2, getting what i feel like is just under the performance of a steam deck, with a little more productivity benefit. Just kind of taking gptk for another spin. this game is pretty well optimized, i think its a little more fair look at gptk. also playing with different form factors / window sizes. this system struggles a bit in higher resolutions, but just playing on a slightly smaller window (that ends up being larger than a handheld) isnt too bad.

About Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon:

~Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon[a] is a 2023 mecha-based vehicular combat game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game serves as a reboot for the franchise, is the first entry in the Armored Core series since Armored Core: Verdict Day (2013) and was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Armored Core VI received generally favorable reviews and became the highest-selling entry in the series, selling 1.3 million copies on Windows alone.

The gameplay in Armored Core VI emphasizes mecha-based vehicular combat. Players in this game take on the role of expert pilots in control of strong mechs known as Armored Cores. The huge flexibility for modification of these mechs with the use of various parts allows players to enhance and sharpen their capabilities.
