As long as the capitalists rule if you aren’t gaming the system you’re a slave to it. Yes, writing your own server for a game wasn’t meant as a joke. But thats literally never stopped anyone before. Not all private servers have been given or leaked by the devs. Some, like Team Clementine, reverse engineer it by decompiling the game and literally fucken rebuilding the server. There is no lack of way nowadays, only wills.
They are a joke, yes. I worked on some server side code back in the day when a game server could be a nice self-contained executable on an EC2 instance. Even back then, I think it would’ve been a formidable task.
Now that game mechanics often necessitate more complex cloud infra, there’s a lot more going on that you can’t just Charles/mitmproxy your way through because it’s invisible to the client.
At the very least, you’ll need more than one dev, and that means coordination. For a ragtag group of hobbyists, AI is more likely to be a poison pill that kills the project before MVP.
Like the other person who replied exemplified, lack of wills. You could do it. Destiny recently ending development is a great example. It would be hard but its not impossible. One person probably couldn’t finish it, but they could start it.
By stealing a copy of the back end code base then getting a team to figure it out and get the different client and server software versions to talk. Yes.
You’re a joke, and one that disrespects everyone who’s ever made anything.
Please leave your toxicity at the door. If you dont want to believe its possible to reverse engineer “modern cloud based game servers” then step aside for the people who do instead of calling people a disgrace.
Better would be to use our AI, but last time I mucked around with local LLMs (about three months ago), my hardware wasn’t good enough to run a powerful enough model for reasoning 😕. I truly hope that we can get some serious advances in vector quantization so we don’t have to store as many bytes for useful systems.
It was mostly a joke about using their own tools to fuck them. ChipotlAI obviously isnt cut for this job. But its funny imagining someone hunkered down at star bucks with a phone signed into an online help desk thats been subsumed by ChatGPT trying to get it to program a game server for them.

Fuck them, decompile the game, write your own server. Use their AI to do it for free. Hoist the colors high.
I’m not sure you understand what this can mean.
Is this a joke, or are you?

But to the second question…

Nobody ever makes jokes anymore, they alwa6s become them. And never good ones. Its very lonely.

Interesting! And how do you feel about this ‘leaving your toxicity by the door’?
TIL db0 still believes mathematics can be stolen.
Next you’re going to say that numbers can be illegal.
Nooo what part of illegul do you not understand???!!!??
Mathematics can be stolen, but it’s both morally correct and fun to steal back from the capitalists, so let’s steal some relevant math right now.
Stealing from the powerful is always at least a cool element.
