i've owned NeXT systems and gave/sold them away because there's no fun at all to be had with them. the hardware looks nice but is aggressively clunky. seeing that osx was always dogshit slow and that it wasn't the hardware's fault was an eye-opener. all i could find to play was the worst port of doom i have ever seen. the demoscene doesn't want to touch it when they all have amigas with the same cpus and better graphics right there, even for the cred.

i think they cracked daydream by now so maybe they can at least function as clunkier macs.

granted i had them back during the nekochan dark ages so whatever state the NeXT community is in now, back then at least it wasn't based around telling people who fished machines out of the trash and needed software to fuck off. i'd probably have a better sgi today if it wasn't for those assholes, rip in piss

@WALFTEAM The real reason was that old gcc generated really bad assembly and that mach (the kernel) was incredibly slow. Even if the UI wasn't a GPU hog, it would still run slow because the core was slow and compiled by a horrible compiler. Which is why Apple poured quite a lot of money into gcc development.
