i'm a bit confused.
it says it's extracted the story the story and than it just hangs saying "Bye!"
well i'm using which ever browser the desktop itch app uses, presumable that's some kind of chromium derivative (they almost all are) but i normally use firefox which is full up to date.
and i don't have a vpn, there really isn't much reason for me to have one because i run a website anyways so my IP address is kind of out there anyways.
