That's nice.

Now do MacOS 26, on M chips.

[UPDATE] To make it clear, it was a joke (always a faceplant, on HN, where senses of humor go to die). It's actually very cool. I just get cranky that 3/4 of my Steam games don't work on new Macs, and I did like HL.

Done. http://www.macsourceports.com/game/halflife

Awesome!

But, to make it clear, it was a joke. It's actually very cool. I just get cranky that 3/4 of my Steam games don't work on new Macs, and I did like HL.

I love that simcity4 has an applesilicon and big name recent releases don't.

Yay.

Well, try installing this Wine build for Mac and then Steam for Windows under it.

Then run Steam and enable "Steam Play/Proton compatibility" or whatever it's called under its settings.

[lenerdenator]

Nah, that's based.

If Apple Silicon ran my games collection I simply wouldn't have another computer other than my M2 MBP. I've run Fallout 3 on it, and while the emulation isn't perfect, it is playable and runs. The fan doesn't turn into a jet aircraft at takeoff, the temps stay cool.

The fact that most games won't play on Apple Silicon natively is a crime.

Tangentially related, there are now "officially allowed" Apple Silicon builds of Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004 available [0]

Install this Wine build for Apple Silicon and then install anything you want, from Steam to GOG games which often will perfectly run in your machine:

Next, open Steam and enable the "Steam Play/proton compatibility" in the settings.

Jokes are downvoted not because of a lack humor but because if we reward making jokes we will have to scroll through dozens of jokes and all of their responses to get the actual discussion. Voting is about keeping the on topic and worthwhile discussion at the top with everything else buried beneath it.

You must be fun at parties.

[yhjc2692]

must?

[ofalkaed]

Apparently so, he does not seem to be giving me any choice in the matter.

[altern8]

I think those guys are about classic Macs

[ChrisMarshallNY]

I know. It was kind of a joke, which, due to this being HN, fell flat.

[acheron]

We at Hacker News do not have a sense of humor that we’re aware of.

[altern8]

I see. Maybe it was a little random

[Barbing]

Missing a bounty to go with that directness!

[assimpleaspossi]

I get cranky coming to HN and seeing 3/4 of the posts about games.

[ChrisMarshallNY]

Seems 90% AI, these days, with a lot of going into the weeds of AI management and development.

[parl_match]

you do it.

[ChrisMarshallNY]

Nope. Looks like someone already did (look up)

[parl_match]

if youre not going to do it, then dont complain when others dont do it

[ChrisMarshallNY]

If you had read -even the original post, with its update, you would realize that it was a badly-delivered joke.

Life’s too short to take seriously.

[rvz]

This is the only site where it is illegal to make a joke.

Fair cop, Guv
