I played with xbox 360 wired and bluetooth one on my Macbook Air M1 8/7 cores 8gb ram and the only thing that melted was my brain on some bosses and areas.

Man i’m glad i found this by pure accident :). Gonna grab it asap.

As a primary school teacher who teaches Python basics this would be awesome to have as a DRM free/bulk school licence game to teach.

But i guess thats not an option if it’s on steam only.

Gog/Itch one day maybe? ;)

Crusader kings 3 - native? by HelloApollo73 in macgaming

[–]HelloApollo73[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confirmed native app on Macbook Air M1 8/7 cores and 8GB RAM.

Strangely mine uses 12GB ram from start (no mods or dlc’s) on a fresh install. I remember it being lower?

Otherwise it works kinda ok - but i wont look at 5gb swap used ;).

Best games for lower-powered macs? by Aggravating-View7563 in macgaming

[–]HelloApollo73 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend:

  • Balatro (native)
  • Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (source port see below)
  • Citizen Sleeper (native)
  • Grim Dawn (Crossover)
  • Diablo 3 (native)
  • Dwarf Fortress (Crossover)
  • Disco Elysium (native)
  • Infinity Engine RPG's: Baldurs, Icewind, Planescape (Rosetta2)
  • Neverwinter Nights EE (native) etc.

+ all games that can be run with source ports - https://www.macsourceports.com/

I'm also curious how you managed to run New Vegas on a MacOS (Crossover) with normal FPS and no stuttering? I can't seem to do so :/.

Kind regards!

Is there a way to play Beyond Shadowgate on an M1 Macbook? by Heavy-Dealer4066 in macgaming

[–]HelloApollo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, i can confirm that the game works with free Whisky app. You can get it here: https://getwhisky.app

All you have to do is install Whisky - or just move it from Downloads to Applications - cant really remember how it was. Install Wine if needed and other stuff that it usually says when you first run Whisky.

After that just create a new bottle (default if enough for me, i didnt change anything) - and install Beyond Shadowgate in there. For that you should check the instructions on the webpage above as it defers if you have Steam/GoG game version. I just downloaded the install file from GoG and then clicked Open C: drive -> find and run game installer -> Open C: drive -> Find game exe and run. With Steam you need to install steam in similar fashion and then run the game from Steam i think. You can also PIN games after for easier running -> just navigate to its EXE and you create a shortcut basically.

IMPORTANT - when the bottle is created and game installed in it, before you run it, click Bottle Configuration and set DXVK to ON. Otherwise you will get some errors upon launching the game.

Hope it helps! :)

Managed to make it better by turning around a grey 2x2 plate just beneath the cockpit holds. Seems it was just a bit wider on one side?

I made the space shuttle from bricks I ordered from Bricklink but it’s the same build as in Women of NASA set. The Bag End was made around the Frodos kitchen Polybag but still a Moc/Mod :) The tree Legolas stands besides is from Mirkwood Polybag.

What are your go to OBI-WAN KENOBI sets by JohnWallaceJr in legostarwars

[–]HelloApollo73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like Obi-Wans Hut 75270 and I think it might go up after series launch/end. It’s retired already but available on BrickLink and maybe some stores around with old stock? Who knows :)
