so I assume he has the M1 laptop with no cooling, the basic macbook?

Because I have a M1 max macbook pro, and it never gets hot ever. It also never really makes any noise.

My main game is cities skylines and civ 6. Don't know if those are not that intense since they are quite some years old. But I dont need to resort to crazy stuff like your comment.

Pretty sure the M1 MacBook Air will thermal throttle if you give it a sustained load for more than a couple minutes. I also have a Pro and am really impressed by its thermals—the fan only ever spins up under the heaviest of sustained loads, and it's whisper quiet when it does.
