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.

Seeing as I basically no longer consider MAGATs to be truly sentient, much less sapient:

She was going to go super deep into the research route until she learned she was violently allergic to the rats then life just kinda happened from there.

That's the real tragedy here, damn, that fucking sucks.

EDIT:

Uh, anyway, yeah I'm an autist too, don't have a degree in psych or pharma, but I do have pattern recognition, curiosity, analytical skills... and a whole fuckton of (c)PTSD from my own truly astoundingly dysfunctional family.

As in: I ghosted them / went no contact with them so hard that they very probably think I am dead.

Your uncle?

This is what you call Oppositional Defiance Disorder, plus also being in a death cult.

Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.

These emotional and behavioral issues cause serious problems with family life, social activities, school and work. But as a parent, you don't have to try to manage a child with ODD alone. Your health care provider, a mental health professional and a child development expert can help.

These are adults with an adult version of a pathological vindictiveness that is generally seen in 'problem children'.

They literally are whiny, pissy, adult toddlers.

"Would you fuck me? Yeah, I'd fuck me."

lolololololol

No but for real this is the kind of actual self-confidence and security in one's own identity that is actually healthy masculinity.
