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.

Missing a bounty to go with that directness!
