Monero is untraceable. You can swap Bitcoin, or basically any other crypto, for it on decentralized exchanges and once you have Monero it’s a black hole. At least as of now, owning Monero isn’t illegal. And it’s impossible to track once it’s swapped.
Edit: oh, sans Monero. Yeah pretty much.
You might want to look into what this dude was actually doing because he was really stupid. On like over a dozen occasions, he live streamed leaked games, days to weeks before their release.
He also sent Nintendo messages taunting them.
Dude deserves it.
It kind of just seems like you aren’t very good at determining what’s important to read/click and what’s not.
Or maybe you’re just bad at doing searches?
Once installed, I think you can often even run the exe of the pirated game through Steam as a “non-steam app” using Proton
Half of the instructions there are installing tools that you only install once, not every game.
And once you set up Lutris, it’s pretty trivial to open .exe files with it.
Not sure what quick settings you mean, but have you tried Bazzite yet? I’ve been using it on my laptop for several months now, and it’s been fantastic. Built for gaming, and it seems to already have a ton of shit set up correctly that id normally need to do myself on Arch
Did you try Desktop Mode on the Deck? Makes things a lot easier. Haven’t had much issue with things like this with my Steam Deck, but on Linux PC, I’ve had none. Ever. Try Bazzite, it’s built for gaming.
I would just Google, “using bottles/lutris to install game on Linux” and I imagine you could find people walking through it.
What others said… I think I’ve even run the installer as a non-steam app through Steam using proton and that worked as well. Unless I’m misremembering.

Playing the original Half-Life is like a formative gaming memory for me… It had been such a massive leap from your DOOM 2s and Dukes Nukem. I was super young though, so I don’t know how much I cared about the narrative.
HL2, on the other hand…Now that I remember vividly. I remember having to use five CDs to install it because Steam had literally just been invented (for HL2). Having to create a Steam account and log into a service to play a game was so foreign at the time lol…
Might be time to re-play.
This might only be true for people who played the original when it first came out (or at least, were playing video games at that time, and are used to the dated graphics).
Also, to add to this: if you haven’t played Portal and Portal 2, then you need to do that now. Like possibly even before HL
If you’re gonna start with 1, I recommend playing Black Mesa as the updated graphics and qol stuff make it easier to tolerate in modern times.
But that’s just me. There is probably some crucial reason why Black Mesa is not the definitive version, and I’m about to hear why
Hmmm… I guess it has been over a decade. Maybe it’s time to play HL2 again.
“derived” doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I think it means that the net energy consumption is zero. It can use energy, but it generates enough to offset it.
Are you surprised by the concept of potential energy?
Yeah, sounds like maybe he just didn’t have a death wish.
Isn’t it meant to be like “better FS”? So you’re not too far off.
