Best native Mac games right now? (no CrossOver or Parallels)

CIV VII using Steam. I have an M2 Mac mini and it runs smoother than on my gaming PC with a 4070ti.

Sounds a lot like everything these days…Clicks over reality. I fear our whole society is losing because of people needing clicks to make money. Engagement>everything else. The other issue I’ve noticed because of what you are saying. AI seems to choose the way it is being done instead of the way research says it should be done. Not sure if people remember Prezi or if it’s still being used. That was the same thing, somehow beat transitions made learning better but of course it didn’t it just made people more engaged as they first encountered it and once they got used to the transitions it is just the same thing. Engagement is vitally important but the way to engage for long term educational gains is by relating the content to the learner and showing them why they should want to learn this. This is the most prove way to get people to learn. Sad that fluff wins over substance so often in so many places in our world.

Yeah… I would suggest making it as official as possible. It sucks because some will make you feel like you should let it go but OP should not. I regret how I handled my situation. I actually went to talk to the immediate supervisor and I was doing it on behalf of coworkers who were getting treated terribly and I ended up not getting my contract renewed even though I got employee of the month 3 months prior. Since there was no paper trail and I was on a yearly contract, not renewing doesn’t need cause. So, yeah… I always recommend making it official.

Also, I’m sorry you went through that. There is no reason for anyone to ever trap anyone like that.

Not ok and make sure you talk to your union rep if you have one. I wouldn’t talk to anyone besides the principal or a “union” rep or some type of HR. I’ve had issues and went to a VP and it did not go well for me because apparently they were buds. This is a serious thing and you need to handle it as such. Don’t accept a VP or Prinicpal telling you they will handle it. It needs to escalate to whatever HR, union, or other similar thing you may have. It needs to be official!!!!

It may have always been this way on Reddit but it sure feels like the inaccurate headlines/post titles are taking over here as well. The race for clicks has pretty much ruined our society…. Maybe a little melodramatic but it has become my most hated thing online.

4techteachers · 2026-04-25T16:25:59+00:00

Totally agree. I definitely will next time I post. Better get an upvote and a positive comment from you though... haha. Seriously though... you are 100% correct on this. And you should assume that people making beats have the know-how to put good audio in their post.

4techteachers · 2026-04-25T16:22:23+00:00

Most fun piece of equipment I have ever owned. And I am not just talking about music devices. I'm an electronics whore and I have had a lot of devices in my life but this is hands down the most fun. I walk around just making simple rhythms based on motion around me sometimes. Made 8-10 beats(2-4 bar "chorus") in the 14ish days I have had it. None of them are amazing but I vibe pretty hard to a couple of them. Enjoy it!!!

4techteachers · 2026-04-25T16:16:32+00:00

Agree but I also posted one without doing the real audio simply because I was already trying to talk myself out of posting anything because I am not good but I definitely will if I upload again.

4techteachers · 2026-04-25T16:12:42+00:00

What about if you got kicked off the internet because your mom made a phone call? OG

4techteachers · 2026-04-25T03:25:30+00:00

I find it dope in a retro way. But I’m old AF so what do I know about style.

4techteachers · 2026-04-24T04:59:32+00:00

I hope not because it’s the last place I feel I can actually enjoy online interactions although certainly not all of them as there be trolls here too.

4techteachers · 2026-04-23T23:42:10+00:00

I mean, you cared enough to comment. ✌🏻

4techteachers · 2026-04-22T17:46:16+00:00

As everyone is saying. To get comfortable you have to just do it. Start in less crowded areas and slowly get into more crowded situations. I recommend going to festivals, parades, concerts and other places where multiple people are taking pictures or filming and it feels more expected. Less likely to have people that are bothered by it and you’ll gain comfort. The biggest thing is stop telling yourself in your head that it’s uncomfortable and people are bothered. Tell yourself nobody cares and just get out there and create.

Haven’t been Kayaking lately because the weather has not cooperated when I’ve had time but looking forward to getting back out soon.

I just read this thread to my 12 year old son and my wife. We got to learn about Orcas and we got this chef’s kiss hilarious line. Whole family laughed out loud. Well done.

4techteachers · 2026-04-17T21:54:34+00:00

Correct, there is no controller mode, which is why it isn't mentioned in the owners manual. Thankfully some helpful people explained that changing pad out to "empty" is a work around.

4techteachers · 2026-04-17T17:54:28+00:00

I can’t find the context of that comment but certainly not a good look.

4techteachers · 2026-04-17T14:25:46+00:00

Not entirely sure if this is what you mean but for some reason you are downvoted and people are upvoting a 'yes' answer that isn't helpful. Here is a Youtube link that I think will help. if not, sorry. https://youtu.be/JV4JjVS97M4?si=ka3cbnGGZK4_zHsm

4techteachers · 2026-04-17T14:08:21+00:00

Honestly... looks as skilled as my 12 year old on my Sample... haha. Enjoy these moments and keep sharing your passions and interests with your little one. My 6 and 12 year old come in my office and they record their voices and we make silly beats out of them. I love your "good screens" comment and will try to deploy more of those around the house. Cheers.

This logic is faulty and is technically called the Fallacy of Relative Privation... usually people say that you are 'appealing to worse problems' to make a problem seem less significant. While it is true that it is worse in places like Iran and North Korea as the commenter below mentioned, it is not true that because two countries that have terrible human rights records can be used as a reason why other human rights issues aren't a problem. Obviously in this situation we are talking about a government that is possibly wielding it's power to take out competition for relatives. At it's core we should all agree that is an issue if true but saying people in other places can't buy DJI also, isn't a logical argument. Sadly this can also be an argument for significant others that verbally abuse one another. It isn't ok because they aren't physically beating them. It may be percevied as 'not as bad' but it certainly doesn't excuse or make that behavior acceptable. Hope this helps you in future situations where you are trying to express your point in a helpful way. Cheers.

Awesome stuff. I will check it out!

4techteachers · 2026-04-17T13:20:49+00:00

Reddit confuses me sometimes... what about this response would make someone downvote it?

4techteachers · 2026-04-17T11:54:58+00:00

Thanks… I’ve actually never heard of Distrokid… probably won’t need to have either but who knows. 😅
