You’re my fucking hero.

Okay I need a bit more information. Are you dual booting Linux with Windows? Tell me more about how this is setup, including what drives you’re talking about

You’re most certainly welcome.

Hehe you’re welcome!

FOKIN WOT M8?!

If I’m not mistaken, when you mount whatever you’re mounting, you need to specify the read/write permissions with the mount parameters. Trying to change the permissions after it’s already been mounted won’t work, afaik.

Of course. Maybe someone will find it useful :D

Did you get this fixed?

I edited the original post to include the script.

Yeahhh I know about that, it still sucks to have to do that, but it’s great that it’s an option, at least. I’m just old now and it’s very hard for me to find a game that I enjoy. But 9 times out of 10, when I do, I go ahead and buy it.

I relented and put it in the original post. Hehe

I have a server. It’s just a laptop running headless Debian Linux. On my gaming PC, Windows 11, I share the directory with my pirated games, then I mount that on my Debian server. Then I SSH into that server and do my scripting. The program is written in Python.

I thought about it, but it’s very specific. For instance, I only intended it for myself – so, you have to manually specify the games directory within the script, and you also have to manually propagate the game_info file. I suppose I could change that – but unless it’s going to be a widely used script, I don’t see the point. Kind of why I posted it here – to see if it could be useful to other people or if they’re interested.

Hehe I can deal with a bit of trolling because I’m an old school IRC nerd. So I take friendliness and shit-talking all in the same boat. Sometimes it’s a bit humorous.

Thank you so much!!

Yep, George Carlin said it best. Individually, people are amazing, but when they start to group, they’re awful – the begin to sacrifice their individuality for the sake of the group.

Omg Reddit is so bad. Genuinely bad. And it’s hard for me to be disgusted.

Call me a masochist q:)

Nah, I’m just fuckin’ around.
