Holy fuck. From now on all my clothing is going to be rainbow fucking colors every day of my life until I die. What a homophobe.

If you add male strippers, gay 4 pay rough trade, and four card poker I'm all in.

Well, let's see... At my school, smoking was bad. I started smoking. My school taught us that drinking alcohol was very bad. I started drinking with my friends. We learned at school that the USSR was going to attack us with nukes at any moment. So I started doing an annoying impersonation of Boris and Natascha every time we had a "hide under your desk drill" that was quite entertaining. We were warned in social studies class about the dangers of using fireworks and cherry bombs. My friends and I were on the constant hunt of old cherry bombs. Ronald Reagan's administration started a physical fitness program that gave awards to kids that passed a certain test in gym glass. A lot of us didn't try hard on purpose because it looked silly and many of us, to our shock, still won the award because it was too easy. So, perhaps the schools are creating a whole new generation of super pirates. Some of those kids probably don't even know what pirating is. They'll find out now. And don't forget, boys and girls, ketchup is a vegetable. If ketchup is a vegetable, relish is, too. So make sure you eat up all your relish we give you at lunch time, with some ketchup on top.

Pretty soon we'll be hearing from people asking about finding free planks to walk, peg-legs, treasure maps, trained parrots, eye patches, and rum. Yo-ho-ho!

It probably won't. But hey, you have your "project" that will get you into Linux more. It always starts with one annoying thing. For me it was a trading card game quite a few years ago. I just kept looking stuff up until I figured out how to ask questions so people could help me get the dll files and configure WINE to work with it. One of the worst Fitgirl repacks I used on Windows was Grand Theft Auto IV. It worked, kind of, but it was wonky as hell. I've installed a number of them on Windows that were just too broken to even bother with. A lot of them are really good, though. Also, I did some research for you. It appears that even people who bought the game on Steam in 2021 had no sound. So, it might just be that the developers of the game screwed up and Fitgirl repacked the version from 2021 that came with no sound to paying customers.

The comments that are from "low-effort trolls" might be a bit much. I mean, you kind of have to sift through them and say to yourself, "meh, what an idiot, doesn't even know about the topic at hand to say anything remotely valid." And that's the fun part. Trolls, in order to really function at effective troll level, have to engage with the content in some meaningful way, if even superficially, which means they have to understand the subject. They seem to not understand the subject at all, which makes them look glaringly ineffective in their role as trolls. I mean, I might call them "lame attempt at trying to be trolls." They're out of their element. And it's funny. But yeah, they don't need to be there, either.

Anarchism only exists because hierarchy exists plus power that reinforces the hierarchy. That's the part you don't seem to understand. It's a dialectic. Anarchists are not against working in teams. They're against being subjugated by hierarchies and powers that keep hierarchies in place with the rationale of "just because we're in power." Anarchism questions authority and its existence is dependent on the existence of authority and power structures. Remove the power structures and there is no need for anarchy. You only seem to comprehend one side of the anarchist's rationale, the one that says, "screw you, I'm not going to obey you." You seem to not understand the other side of the anarchist's rationale, which is, "you just want me to be obey because you say so, and I have all kinds of reasons why your say so is irrelevant to reason and logic, because all you've done is construct a reason that justifies your authority, which is not natural or even essential to the organization of society."

"I have always been a liberal radical, an individualist and an anarchist. In the first place, I am an enemy of the Church; in the second place, I am an enemy of the State. When these great powers are in conflict I am a partisan of the State as against the Church, but on the day of the State's triumph, I shall become an enemy of the State. If I had lived during the French Revolution, I should have been an internationalist of the school of Anacharsis Cloots; during the struggle for liberty, I should have been one of the Carbonieri." - Pío Baroja, anarchist and novelist. To stand on equal ground everyone needs to adapt to the ever shifting ground in cooperation, to help each other and themselves to stand on it equally.

Yep, downvoted, because yet another person who wants to point and click on shit in Linux and get perfect results. That's not how it works, buddy. Linux is not a point-and-clicky user happy OS. You have to know shit about it and its associated software sometimes to make stuff work correctly. It's getting to be a "works out of the box" OS for some distros, but even the ones that are "user friendly" need some tinkering. Do you want to use Linux successfully? Learn about how it works so that you can ask a question that gets you the solution to the problem. Do you want to press buttons and have stuff "just work?" Don't use Linux. Use something else. Do you want the software to just work perfectly when you press a couple of buttons? Piracy isn't for you, either. Study up, learn to ask the right questions, and take a class on how to not be totally rude. Downvote all you want. You'll still have to play Inscryption with no sound until you figure out how to ask the question the right way so you can get an answer that solves your problem.

They're not even asking for help in the right way. They're like, "This thing doesn't have sound. I want to have sound. Tell me how to make it have sound." It doesn't work that way. It isn't voodoo magic and the people that read this aren't psychic. If there's a problem with the sound, then all kinds of factors have to be eliminated until the one factor preventing the sound production is identified. That means looking into logs, the install script, the WINE settings, blah blah blah. This individual is looking at the internet as some sort of magical incantation medium. It's not a friggin' genie. It's like asking the internet, "Please give me a million dollars."

OMG, question 4, again. I've waited a little while to answer to give you time to edit your OP to make it slightly more polite. Here's the deal with Fitgirl Repacks: A lot of them don't even work correctly on a Windows machine. How do I know? I've used a few. Some of them are total garbage, some of them have one thing wrong with them, such as your sound problem. My best guess: Even if you weren't using Linux with WINE or Proton (I mean, even if you were using a Windows machine) you would probably STILL have no sound. Why? Because Fitgirl Repacks vary in quality. Some are total shit, some are so-so, some are great. Now, let's say your sound problem can be solved. Asking the question the way you've asked it isn't the way to get an answer. Anyone with knowledge about how to solve your problem would need to ask you for logs and detailed information about your WINE or Proton settings for the game. However, I'll put my money on the fact that the repack is just defective. Pirating games is this way. Sometimes you get a gem and sometimes you get garbage. Pirating games using Fitgirl Repacks is no exception. If you can't afford the game at its current price on Steam (Ummm, let's be clear, I could pay full price for this game and I want it some day, but I'm not willing to pay what they're asking, it's overpriced in my opinion), wait for a sale. At this point it's pretty friggin' old so, maybe, must maaayyyybbeeee this year in the Winter sale it will have a better discount. Nobody's talking about it much anymore, which is a good sign, right? Save up for it so you can have some sound. Maybe every time you say or type "bullshit" you have throw a little money in a jar and then, every time you have to edit a post because you're being rude, you have to throw a little money in a jar. By the Winter sale perhaps you'll be able to afford the game when it's discounted. My unsolicited advice on how to look at Fitgirl Repacks: Use them as a "try before you buy" that's better than a demo. If it happens to work beautifully and you like the game, then you saved some money. If you want to try to get the sound working on the game, in your spare time study up. Look up things about WINE and how a person would go about configuring it manually. Study the game by looking up other peoples' problems with it. Learn about the files in Windows it depends on. If it's a problem on the WINE side of things and not on the Fitgirl side of things, your problem is no doubt a missing dll file or a particular setting your install script is missing. But, honestly, the repack is probably at fault here. If I were you, I'd just save up with a swear jar and wait for the Winter sale. Or even the Fall sale. Who knows? Maybe this year this damn game will be discounted better. I've been waiting a few years to get this game, myself.
