Yeah, the non-free drivers are from the repository.  But I'm on a 64-bit system so that might have something to do with it.  Dunno honestly.

I'm gonna continue screwing around with packets trying to get the legacy drivers uninstalled so I can re-install them without the reinstall argument.

libatiuki.so.1 is provided by the non-free AMD video driver. I would recommend using the open-source driver unless you know you need the proprietary one; AMD cards actually have very good open-source driver support. I use it myself with Steam.

Also, upgrading to jessie shouldn't pose a problem for your use case.

Which is odd because I have the non-free driver.

I installed it because the open source drivers are great but only for the 5000 series and up.  I have the 4890 and it sucks.  Or at least it did in Ubuntu.  Does Debian use a different driver?

Crossbows are just as effective

No crossbow holds 30 arrows that can be fired in less than ten seconds.

Allen Quartermain: If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all.
Or in this case, one arrow.

, far more silent, and if I want to kill people, I'm gonna use explosives. 

Then why do you even give a shit about silence?

I said "People" not "a person". 
Explosives are for multiple targets.  I mean, guns can't hit all enemies in a half-sphere in the span of milliseconds.

So I'm trying this again, but now with Debain (so I don't have to worry about Ubuntu's compatibility issues with ATI legacy drivers).

Unfortunately I'm having an issue that doesn't seem to exist...

I'm missing libatiuki.so.1

My first problem is that I'm not even sure where it should go.
My second problem is that it doesn't appear to be in the debian repositories.

I'm on Wheezy and I'd rather not upgrade to Jessie(which has steam in it's repository) unless it's relatively stable.

Unless someone knows of another option...

It always boggles my mind when people use proprietary bloatware and then act surprised when this kind of thing happens.

We expect bloatware to be bloated with its own crap, not someone else's.

This is why I wish the flash installer was a standard MSI instead of a crappy downloader.  (Well, by default)
Then I'd rip that shit out and laugh when it logs the errors!Aaaahahahahhahahahahahahha!!!!

liked those shit movies.

u wot m8. Some of them were terrible and all of them were dumb as shit, but a few were at least enjoyable. No, he wasn't the greatest actor ever, but he was apparently a nice dude to work with.

Also, he wasn't driving.

I know he wasn't, but as a passenger he could have told the guy to slow down.

THEREFORE IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT

Whatevah brah, if I'm in a car with someone going way too fast I'll tell them to slow the fuck down cause I don't want to die in a fiery explosion. At least he died quickly. People always get way too sad over celebrities' deaths. A New York train derailed today killing 4 and injuring 63, that's way more news worthy and upsetting than an attractive, rich man dying in a car wreck.

It's the Beacon line too.  Not only did it injure and kill people BUT they just fixed the damn thing 6 months ago AND the traffic out of NYC just bottlenecked to hell.  Even more so then usual.

I don't understand that reference.

Let me rephrase so that you might understand:

Who the fuck is Paul Walker?

He starred in the Fast and the Furious movies.  Which he played a street racer who.  As he drove expensive cars really fast in very dangerous races.
