Alternate explanation:

This person is Finnish, English is not their primary language, jokes and colloquial sayings very often do not really directly translate between languages.

Ring.

Ring.

… Who is it?

… Honey, who is testicular torsion, and why do they want to talk to you?

concrete and inescapable, yet whimsical and stylish

objective and happy

Please do go easy on the ‘Twist It!’

What.

How does that logic work?

They say they are bisexual.

This implies they have had sexual encounters with both meat rods and meat flowers.

… You know what to do based on … what shape the sexy time meat is.

… How is this complicated?

Fair enough, lol!

You have to make the accompanying hand gestures, which I can only describe as kinetically emphasized whining.

The more he wants to whine about something he detests, the more he uses his little hands to make little motions, like they’re an exclamation point for how annoyed he is.

This is opposed to say, emphasis for dramatic effect, to convey conviction, seriousness, passion, anger, or something like that.

That’s the part he did not manage to learn from his nightstand collection of Hitler’s speeches.

I mean, this… isn’t surprising at all?

Blustering around confidently exploits how … duller human brains interpret factuality.

Moneky brain see confidence?

Monkey brain know they must be correct!

This is the basis of … well, con artists, you know, confidence artists, a whole lot of PUA type shit, uh, a whole lot of politics, a whole lot of marketing…, many debate and negotiation tactics/styles…

Being a bullshitter is a common thing because bullshitting is broadly very effective.

… Did you just… counter a Trump-pression with a Bill Burr-pression?

Memetically compatible solution:

OP is a femboy.

Oh dear god I had not seen that graph updated in some years.

The captured picture is incredible.

Verdict: Extremely obviously guilty.

Sentence: One whole week of only dry food.

bad kitty!

You really, really can accurately judge a lot about people by whether or not they return the shopping cart, how they treat “the help”.

I am a dude and this photo reminds me of just generally keeping my eye on dudes like this in bars, back in my 20s, and either getting staff to remove people like them when I see them slip the roofie, or cause some kind of scene and functionally do it myself.

These would be the kind of guys who would think their furtive, shifty, jumpy checks of their surroundings aren’t easily noticeable, not confident or bold or smooth enough to do it with the finesse of essentially a magic trick.

They’d be the ones too cowardly to actually, meaningfully throw hands, instead just act indignant and screech, all bark, no bite.

You’re talking to a person who was homeless for 2 years, is currently seruously crippled, doing my own physical therapy because the US healthcare system is completely broken and unaffordable, and is writing this message to you from a piece of shit gas station cell phone that I have somehow managed to keep working through 2 blizzards over two years, that I experienced fully outdoors, while travelling about 2000 miles, with nothing but the clothes on my back.

I’ve been building pcs out of spare parts, salvage and scrap since the 90s.

You can fuck right off with your first world privilege bullshit and learn how to speak English if you want to converse in it.

No its not no loss, because if Steam figures out you have a real account and a ‘cracked’ account, they can ban both.

I’ve personally known hackers this has happened to.

See your hardware has a unique identifier. They know your’re running the same machine with dual accounts, if you do it often enough, doesn’t matter if you use a vpn or whatever.

Anyway, sure, ok, this apparently allows you to spoof your way into Steam’s multiplayer system.

I don’t see where that is stated, but maybe I missed it.

So… this would only make sense with games that are entirely reliant on steam for networking, where you can’t host a local server or use something like hamachi…

So, what, you’re 12 and want to play a cracked, probably also hacked, version of CS2 or ARK? Maybe DOTA2?

… You know Valve has a track record of criminally prosecuting people who hack their shit, right?

Were you around when the HL2 Beta leak happened, because some guy penetrated Valve’s internal systems, basically did a smash and grab?

Yeah they pretended they were impressed, wanted to hire this guy, told him to fly on over from Europe for a job interview.

The guy did that, and then… he was arrested when he got off the plane.

The instructions on the exact page that were linked are not followable.

The readme.md or whatever the hell its called needs to be updated.

You have the main page saying ‘at this step, you can do one of two things’.

The other page says ‘you must only do one of those things.’

These are poorly written instructions.

Further… you have to use a gbe_fork.

Either the one from otavepo, or the one from detanup1.

Both of those are gbe_forks.

… Is this your thing?

You are here displaying literacy levels on par with the author of the poorly worded github page in questiom.

Yeah, you’re correct the otavepo repo is gone, almost certainly because it is literally illegal software.

Generally speaking, you can’t host hacking tools that specifically compromise proprietary software on github.

(EDIT: For clarity, SteamOS may be open source, Proton may be open source… but Steam itself? Hahahahah, no.)

Anyway, yeah, the given instructions simply are impossible to follow, you’re not crazy.

You would have to somehow find this otavepo software elsewhere, if it exists elsewhere.

However, the main page of this also says it works with gbe_fork by DetanUp01, and that seems to be right here:

https://github.com/Detanup01/gbe_fork

… This main page of the Goldberg repo also says that the author is not responsible for anything bad that happens to your Steam account while using all this software.

… because this is indeed the kind of thing that could get your Steam Account totally banned, and could also potentially get you hardware banned.

You almost certainly do not want to use this.

Is… some Steam Achievements for a game you torrented… really worth potentially getting permabanned from Steam?

Wait what, wtf is this thing?

It emulates/fakes you owning a game, but not in the sense of actually owning a game, it just… allows you to collect Steam Achievements… as if you do own the game?

This seems like the kinda thing where if you get caught, instant total Steam account ban.

EDIT:

Entirely seriously, it would make more sense to just use the Steam Family share system, just find a Steam oriented lemmy comm and propose making some kind of small game sharing group.

All you’d have to figurr out is who gets to be ‘Mom’ and set the rules… but other than that, if you have access to a game via a family share?

And you get achievements?

Those are real, they stick, and you i think even get cards or gems or what not for playing the legitimately shared game.

You just have to be able handling sharing, lol.
