Perhaps I am just an idiot... but what exactly am I supposed to put in for "Just Don't"?

I was really struggling with the Chance of Survival achievement. I looked at so many guides trying to figure it out. Your guide is the only one that explains exactly where to find the Sphinx app in my game files. It's not called Sphinx on the actual application. It was 斯芬克斯 in case anyone else struggles to find it.

Works fine for me. Maybe it's blocked in your country?

Has the plan-k website been disabled or something? All I get is site not found when I go there
