We did a lot of online lan during the pandemic. One guy in our party was a staunch Apple enthusiast/fanboy and insisted on his mac for lan. So most of our time was spent on finding Mac compatible games on steam, trying them out (and basically see what breaks), and piling insult on him.

Truth be told we got more pleasure from cussing at the Apple guy than actually playing any game.

My fiancee and I play a few games together with me on my Silicon mac, and her on my Windows gaming machine. Some games that have worked well: Divinity 2, Civ 6, Stellaris, Factorio.

Divinity 2 seems to need Proton, probably would help to use the not-supported community build that includes the kitchen sink video codecs... https://www.protondb.com/app/219780

Civ 6, Stellaris, and Factorio I own copies / licenses of and all three have native builds for Linux so I'd be _amazed_ if they did not also have native builds for OSX too (or failing that, at least the Linux builds should be usable).
