How to run Team Fortress 2 on Apple Silicon macs! (Whisky tutorial)

Valve recently dropped support for macOS for their games, though they have already been unplayable on Catalina and above, due to being 32-bit apps, and after the move to ARM, playing these games has only gotten more computationally challenging... but it's still possible!
