Sorry this isn’t an answer to the question, only a general reminder for whoever needs it to always create a disk image backup beforehand using Macrium Reflect or similar, so you can rollback nightmares like this.

For some reason, in voyagerapp the three dots menu doesn’t enable for that community, so the sidebar isn’t accessible.

Not really an excuse, just an observation.

Although I am an atheist, if I am wrong, I am fairly certain they are going to hell.

No, I still need it for non-linux programs with no suitable alternative.

No, I’m not listing those for anyone to suggest inferior replacements. It’s a fact, not a debate.

If you want a valuable job that no sane customer wants to abuse, dentistry is an option.

That makes sense. I went to check the link you provided, but turned around at the content warning. No thanks on that, but I'll trust you.

Yeah but she gets points for doing it with celebratory Minions.

And it’s a stretch to characterize this as “to the kid” when they’re on chinese fart porn. For all we know, all their comms are via text, this is totally normal for them, and it was only posted to the internet because the recipient thought the image was funny, by itself and with fart porn in the background. Maybe he also thought his sad sucks and was celebrating too. We can only speculate.

I’ve just given them away on reddit. The trading sites are fine but rarely does anyone have a key I want, while also wanting a key that I have. Just easier to donate to a random gamer.

Actually no, the subject of pirating was first brought up by this response

https://beehaw.org/comment/1949744

Even developers would rather people pirate than buy from key resellers

where they said developers would prefer that to keyshops, and in the order I read them and answered people, that was the one I read and replied to, before first mentioning it myself in reply to another person here

https://reddthat.com/comment/6093055

If you want me to stay in the piracy section, just say so. I’m there anyway.

I’ve also plainly stated in the same comment

I have also purchased literally hundreds of games directly from Steam and GOG, so the sum total of my soul in gaming is in the positive, as far as I’m concerned.

so the rest of your reply is ignorant nonsense, because piracy is not the only alternative for me. It’s one of many options for me.

edit: if you want to argue about the order I read and responded to messages, feel free to check my comment history. They are listed in order of creation regardless of last edit.

But I’m going to bed now. I’m done with this.

I don’t actually care about the morality of pirating, I said that bit to point out the total hypocrisy you have on display. It’s not a sore spot for me at all, I have no problem doing it, the same way I have no problem buying hundreds of games directly from Steam and GOG, or hundreds more from keyshops. You’re the one actually complaining about morality, you made it specifically clear you wanted everyone to know such implications.

Honestly, totally amazing that needed to be explained to you.

It’s almost 3am here, so I’m cutting off this nonsense now for something more productive. Sleep.

Rage on, it’s entertaining at this point.

I'm for piracy when the ones being hurt are massive companies who can cover it by lowering their quarterly bonus .5%.

That is selectively supporting piracy, like it or not.

And to be clear, the only site I actually promoted and linked to is gg.deals, where you can compare the prices at regular storefronts in one place, not just for keyshops. Where I got my keys were mentioned but not linked. As said before, options for every moral stance.
