I was just searching through the Steam community to install the native version of Steam because I used to enjoy playing Dota 2 until I switched to an ARM-based MacBook Pro, and saw people losing their minds over the support of ARM-based MacBooks just like we don't deserve to play games on our computers. Some even claim that we don't have a computer but an iPad. 

Steam is funny about this, too. It's been seven years and still no stable Steam client on macOS. I just downloaded it and I got a notification from the OS that I am running an Intel-based app and it will come to an end in two years.

Why are gamers so toxic about ARM-based Macs and why is Steam too lazy to provide a stable native client and games on macOS? And how do people think that they are entitled to stand against other users' choices? I don't get all this hate.

Edit: For some reason, I cannot see the comments in here but can read the first part of the comments from the notifications and can't reply.

I am playing Cyberpunk right now and it's perfect. The FPS is over 70 and the visuals are great. I played this game before on Switch 2 and bought it again to try it on my MacBook Pro and no problem so far. 

Gaming performance is great but there are not many options. I am not quite a gamer, just playing a game no more than an hour in a day. I don't hold myself back to spend some money on games.

It is just weird having a limited library and people online talk too much for some stupid reason against MacOS gaming.

Beforehand, I would like to say sorry for my English. I am not a native, and I don’t want to generate something from an AI tool to bore you.

Now, we went with friends for camping for five nights to some bay that can be only reached there via a boat or a five-hour hike, and before this camp, we planned everything.

We planned everything topic by topic, and one of the topics was about drugs. I don’t do heroine maybe but I have not used chemicals for four years because I am struggling with mental health issues and started using some cocktail of meds, and I know how people get written “Accidental Overdose” on their death certificates. I stopped using weed last year because I suspected it had worsened my symptoms, and this worked out because my dosages went down significantly. So, I don’t do drugs anymore. My boyfriend never does any kind of drugs. I should know better because we have been together for ten years and they know this. Once, we only used acid together while we were on holiday when I was not medicated.

We discussed this topic before and we said that we would not do drugs but a few days before the camping, one of them asked me again whether we wanted or not. I texted him we didn’t want, and then he texted back “You want, you want…” and I was like “Nope. Never.” and then I got a message again “You do, you do…” I didn’t reply.

During the camping, we had so much fun and drugs what a drug dealer should have for six people, and I only smoked weed once, then decided again not to do it again, and they shared all of them as four, but now he is telling us we should pay our share because somehow he is thinking I caused him to buy more.

His girlfriend, who they have been together for three years, and she happens to be my friend for seven years, says IATAH because I didn’t reply to his message and he bought more. We already discussed this several times and failed to control my temper and chose not to respond back anymore. She thinks I was joking.

They did this before several times during the last year, and I paid because I thought I was happy with them and it wasn’t a problem. Sometimes we split bills when we go out even if I don’t drink and I don’t mind at all, but I felt I was fed up with this expensive drug share money thing.

After you read this, you will think we are college students, but no. We are between 30 and 36 years old.

I really don’t understand what I did wrong. I am not a very serious guy. I talk about everything lightly or make fun of everything. I may fail to make them understand I am serious about this topic or something like this. But I told them several times that we didn’t want anything. If we wanted anything, I would say I was joking and we want some at some point. I don’t know.

I am experiencing terrible side effects because of my drugs. I am fine right now, but I just asked to take a break for a month or so. We stopped using my current prescription, but she prescribed a new med which I am not comfortable with because we tried it before and it was a nightmare, but I was using two antipsychotics and a mood stabiliser at the same time. She wants me to use at least this drug instead of going without any meds.

I told her I don’t feel I am ready for a new drug which induced a bad experience before and just want to take a break. Then she said that she cannot see me without medication. And she added I should see another psychiatrist because they couldn’t find the meds that work for me, and she gave me an appointment for the next session and told me if I don’t use this drug, I shouldn’t be bothered by showing up.

Is this normal? I am thinking changing my psychiatrist but I see her for like 3 years. I don’t want to start over again.

Edit: I read your comments. Thank you for sharing.

I have been diagnosed with BP type 1 with ADHD. No psychosis I believe. I cannot take my ADHD meds because of BP.

Side effects are not a problem but I can’t decide whether I had the best 3 years of my life or the worst and they won’t go away unless I quit.

Some individuals may found this post distressing. Please, do not read this post if you’re on the soft spot.

But I started to feel depressed because of my treatment. I experienced terrible side effects for every known drug for bipolar disorder type I.

At first, I didn’t accept that I had bipolar disorder. But my life was a s**t. I experienced manic or mixed episodes two or three times every year. I decided to find a psychiatrist again and fix this problem.

During the treatment, I was able to earn my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. It was going well, but side effects were not bearable anymore. I started to experience heart-related issues and had to stop taking my medications.

I thought I had found the cure and everything was going to be alright, but now, I’m not so sure anymore.

I (32m) see therapists every once in a while. I was not happy about it, but for this one, I decided to go for a male therapist. I am very comfortable with a therapist for the first time because I feel like I don’t have to apply any filters to my language and can tell every detail of my life. For the first time, I feel warmth about a therapist. It’s worked out well, and I started to get positive results in a short time.

At first, I thought I knew him from somewhere, but I dismissed the idea because it was very unlikely in my city, which has over eight million people. But I just saw him on the Instagram suggestions, and we have two mutual friends. Then I remembered I saw him a few times at some birthday events, but they were very crowded, and we didn’t talk much.

My friends don’t know about my traumatic experiences, but I don’t think he would approach one of them and tell them “he seems funny, but on the inside, he’s such a mess”. I want to put everything aside and continue my healing process, but I am not sure if I can. Right now, I don’t even know what to do when I see him again at an event.
