Installing Skyrim Using Wine on Mac OS X

Unimatrix Two Posted on July 11, 2014 by MikhailJuly 11, 2014

Computer used: 2009 Mac Pro with 8 GB memory, a 1 GB Apple graphics card, and OS X 10.9 Mavericks Purchase Skyrim on Steam. (By waiting for the right sale, I got it for $5.) Download ThePortingTeam’s Wine wrapper for Skyrim. Follow the installation instructions under “Installation”. Run Skyrim at least once. At this point Skyrim worked excellently except for a horrible display bug. So, after a lot of websites and some guessing… Right-click on the wrapper (the Skyrim icon), choose “Open Package Contents”, and open wineskin.app just as you did during Step 3. Click “Set Screen Options”. Uncheck “Use … Continue reading →

To Healthy Competition

Unimatrix Two Posted on June 7, 2010 by MikhailJune 7, 2010

Some of my fellow geeks seem surprised when they learn I’m happy that Android phones are doing so well. But even though I’m using an iPhone now, I’d prefer that it be a difficult choice; I may like Apple products, but I want there to always be someone out there that keeps them innovating, refining, and generally working hard to convince me that they should keep my business. There was a bad period in the nineties when Apple computers were beginning to… well, ‘suck’ is probably too strong a word, though plenty of folks used it. Now that the company’s … Continue reading →

Why this “Steam on Mac” thing is a big deal to me

Unimatrix Two Posted on March 8, 2010 by MikhailMarch 8, 2010

Steve Jobs has little use for computer games. Inconveniently, his customers are quite interested, and that’s been a problem since 1984. I can’t source most of this, so you’ll have to assume that my memory isn’t too fuzzy, and I wouldn’t lie to you. But while plenty of Apple engineers have been happy to help out game developers here and there, Steve’s seen bigger things for his Macintosh; leaps and bounds of creativity, imagination, and the simplification of daily tasks. Not bad, but we want to shoot the undead too, and Mr. Jobs doesn’t really seem to get that. So … Continue reading →

Corporate Shenanigans

Unimatrix Two Posted on July 14, 2009 by MikhailJuly 14, 2009

Seems that I have two VHS copies of the “Gentleman’s Agreement” Shadowrun movie. I found the better of the two, but I still played with the brightness settings a bit in iMovie to make Jerry’s Toaster work show up better. The initial team meetup scene remains dark as heck, though. This is Part One… … Continue reading →

Actual conversation from work yesterday: Coworker: Hey, the vendor put the wrong video card in this box. Me: Could be worse, they could have just put a ham sandwich in there. CW: Yeah, could lead to hardware incompatibilities. Me: Well, maybe if it had a PCI-X interface… CW: The good news is that Mac OS X and Windows 7 already have the right drivers. Me: Yeah, but the Mac drivers really only work best with the iSandwich. CW: The iSandwich tastes awesome, but it’s a bit pricey, and a few breads don’t work well. Me: I hear iSandwich 2.0 will … Continue reading →

Nano Nanu

Unimatrix Two Posted on March 22, 2009 by MikhailMarch 22, 2009

I bought Starr an iPod nano for Christmas 2007, in the hopes that she could use it to listen to her music library and crochet podcasts on her work commute (nearly as long as mine). As well, she received a device that played her iPod through her car stereo. This caused a problem: the device plugged into her cigarette lighter, which hadn’t worked in years. Today, I finally found the round tuit for correcting that problem. After some Googling, and removing her car’s engine air filter, I found the likely electrical fuse, and learned it was indeed blown. Starr admitted … Continue reading →

Working the technology

Unimatrix Two Posted on February 22, 2009 by MikhailFebruary 22, 2009

I’m really losing patience with Facebook apps that lie to me in order to get themselves installed in my profile. I may never install another unless a user I know messages me directly to tell me how awesome an app is. I’m refurbishing an iMac 400 DV to give to Jesse Braxton. It’s just gathering dust, and is only worth about $100 now; all she wants is an e-mail, web browsing, and music playing machine, so this ought to fit the bill nicely. The good news is that it will happily run OS X 10.4 Tiger; the bad news is … Continue reading →

Basic misunderstanding of the game

Unimatrix Two Posted on December 23, 2008 by MikhailDecember 23, 2008

EDIT: Short version of the rant that was in this spot: Many commenters on Slashdot are fools. Now I will go and try to write something else that’s actually interesting. … Continue reading →

Digital dysfunction

Unimatrix Two Posted on December 10, 2008 by MikhailDecember 10, 2008

Due to the red tape of services transfer, I will not have Internet at the house tonight or tomorrow. Not the end of the world, but nevertheless an annoyance. Also in the FAIL department: instead of the nap I’d intended, I spent 30 minutes finding the old TeeFive character sheet, another 60 locating and installing the legacy software on an emulated OS 9 machine to open said sheet, and then another 30 looking for and failing to find the ACTUAL document, which I’m beginning to fear I no longer have. Feh.
