The only way free will can work is if the Many worlds therom of quantum mechanics is true, and each conscious derision results in a new universe. And quantum mechanics means that most of these decisions are being made by particles, with life forms being pretentious bundles.

free will is fucking silly, either the universe is deterministic, which is nightmarish, or things happen for no reason, which is even more nightmarish

free will isn't silly, it's popular definitions of it that are askew. At the end of the day free will is, and can only be, acting in accordance with your own nature. The only alternative is dice-throwing. So there's no contradiction between free will and determinism.

well, one might raise questions about conciousness. But I would agree that fish do. Fish definitely want to do fishy things, and preventing them from doing so is interferring with their free will.
