GTA 5 VS. CYBERPUNK 2077

 As you may know, in December Cyberpunk 2077 was released. Ever since launch day, people have been comparing it with GTA 5, its main competitor to see which game is better. In my opinion GTA is miles better than Cyberpunk. First off we have the dates of release. GTA 5 was, believe it or not released in 2013! This is over 7 years earlier than Cyberpunk. Now onto the bugs. Cyberpunk has strange glitches, which leaves people wondering if it is a glitch or a feature. Citizens disappear automatically when you attack one! There are also missing features, like tires popping or reactions to a gun being pointed at you. In conclusion, GTA 5 is way better than Cyberpunk 2077, and we won't see any real competition anytime soon.

GTA 5 ON AN M1 MAC!

 After hours of glitches and errors, I was finally able to get GTA 5 working on my new MacBook Pro with the new M1 chip! I started by downloading Parallels 16 for M1 (Request Only) and signing up for the Windows Insider Program, then switching to a dev channel. This gave me access to the latest ARM64 windows build. I fixed my settings and downloaded the Epic Games Launcher. After a few errors I was able to start the GTA download. I then installed the required software and there it was! GTA was running at 15-30 FPS mainly due to support issues. By early 2021 I think the performance should be way better, maybe even 60 frames. In conclusion, it is possible (with effort) to get x86 64 bit games on M1 Macs.
