This is fake. The great Goblin Lord would never do that! He would instead test the ipaddress against a global map with all possible addresses (for security so he doesn't leak your address) so it would look like if(ipaddress == global.secret_ip_lookup_array[0]){...}
are you sure? he might just use case 1 through case 4294967296
Or would he do nested switches for all four parts of the IPv4 address? IPv6 is instaban for now because it will take a while before it gets properly implemented
This made LOL at the idea he would just completely ban ipv6 addresses because he doesn't know how to implement them.
(artificial deep voice): "Look, right now ipv6 addresses are disabled. What should you do? I don't know, maybe get a normal ip address like the rest of the world? Chat should I ban this guy? You're banned... for having a shit ip address."
I had to disable ipv6 to download a Magic Arena update because of some weird reason
IPv6 reckoning is coming. REPENT!

You have been permanently banned from this Chat.
dead:beef
I disable ipv6 on all my devices, don't need to ban anything if the connection can't come through in the first place :)
Psst each parts called an octet, but pilate software would probably use magic numbers then comment them rather than an enumerator
Pilates software ;)
Thank you correction although much like his code Pilates has a repetitive nature :3
Woops, I knew that word but couldn't remember it that fast... Thanks for reminding me!
a nest for each bit.
I would use numpy to generate random numbers between 1-4294967296 and store them in a pandas dataframe, that way you can loop that df later to see if you've already checked that IP!
if(ipaddress == global.secret_ip_lookup_array[0]){...}`
if(ipaddress == global.secret_ip_lookup_array[1]){...}
if(ipaddress == global.secret_ip_lookup_array[2]){...}
if(ipaddress == global.secret_ip_lookup_array[3]){...}
if(ipaddress == global.secret_ip_lookup_array[4]){...}
if(ipaddress == global.secret_ip_lookup_array[5]){...}
You're making the list bud
You forgot the painfully obvious and useless comments in your code, you're going on the list yourself bud, hope it was worth it.
If only there was a way to write that in fewer lines of code
Why is this hard? Have a list of bad addresses, all else are good.
if(badIPs.includes(ip){return 1;}else{return 0;}
stretches
Honestly the worst part isn't even the code, it's the font...
Only after bragging about someone plugging something in the wall and because he walked in the room at that exact moment he got a defcom black badge
Still wrong. He would at least use a switch statement.
I wish there was some trusted service to ask for trusted localhost IPs
You mean Mind Goblin, right?
But he worked at blizzard
Global map like a hashmap? I dont think he knows what those are
That's it, you're on the list buddy. Hope it was worth it!
I've reported your account to Reddit, that's on you.
Hope it wasn’t your main account.
Fuckin nailed it
Are the yanderedev and pirateSoftware the same person?
At least yanderedev didn't call himself the Bob Ross of programming
wait, jason software said that??
"People call me the Bob Ross of programming, which I think is a pretty big honor 'cause I like Bob Ross' stuff"
Direct quote from one of his shorts
No way. Link??? I need to laugh
We found his origin story! He's just coding cuz he thinks it's fun and he knows he's not good at it!
Did anybody really call him the bob ross of programming?
Between all of the comments in his YouTube shorts, it wouldn't surprise me if someone said that.
Having said that, I still choose to believe he just made it the fuck up. It's in character.
Whether he did or didn't, he certainly claimed it and made a short about it.
That is nuts and downright insulting. Bob Ross honed his craft, inspired others, and was always well prepared for taping. He didn't just hop on the air, talk about how great he is and just "wing it".
Jason Pirate Software here spends most of his time verbally talking about how great he is.
He can't even be bothered to read up and check his understanding before creating hours of videos giving his misinformed and vulgar opinion on a subject. He reads the headline, imagines what it's about, then trashes others' work in front of millions of viewers.
Bob Ross - "Mistakes are happy little accidents."
Jason Thor PirateSoftware - "Eat my entire ass."
Yeah, I’m gonna need a source on who “people” are. They need their cooking license revoked. The take is criminally raw.
(Not source from you, you’re just the messenger of the tomfoolery)
Isn't YandereDev a pedophile?
No yander is better
Nah lets ship them
Yandere toppping Pirate is now canon.
To abu dhabi.
Unironically, he was only starting programming when he did the popular code, he did improve after that.
In contrast, Pirate software was a dev for 20 years, and in Blizzard for 7 years when writing this code.
He wasn’t a dev, and while he worked at blizzard he was doing non-software roles. He’s not a software person, he has always been basically a social engineer “hacker”
he was a qa tester at blizzard and a social engineer with the dept of energy
I have always said that PirateSoftware was 1 incriminating chatlog away from being Yanderedev, but I just saw a video of him actually having a chatlog posted about a guy of 11 years younger he was doing furry ERP with while he was married (yet insisting on monogamy with that person).
Dude is seriously the new Yanderedev. Solo dev, ain't releasing shit, can't code if you put a gun to his head...
I know a lot of people that do ERP but still feel their relationship is monogamous. Its RolePlay, not reality.
As long as they're open with their partners about it its fine
All of took was a single mana gem.
Well I believe Yandere Simulator actually released? So 1-0 for YandereDev I'd say
This has to be fake 🤣.. funny regardless 😂
If you know of a better was to keep track of hackers than a giant list of every ipaddress in the world set to 0 and then when a hacker is detected going in and manually changing the 0 to 1, I'd LOVE to hear it. If not, keep your mouth shut.
You got me there! 😆😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Hope it was worth it bud, you just made the list.
I know this was a joke but while thinking of weird solutions, I realized a bit set for every IPv4 address could fit in half a gigabyte, which is big if loaded in memory, but surprisingly reasonable as a seekable file. Obviously this is also terrible but surely that has to be better than the if snake, right?
Personally, I would write down each IP address by hand and put a big red X over it if they are a hacker. Then I take a photo of that and store it, and then I can manually check every IP attempting to connect.
Come on now, we're programmers, we can automate stuff! Obviously you should use OCR on the image and do a regex search for the IP address to see if it hasn't been crossed out.
Ugh, can't we just pay someone in India to do it for us manually and call it AI or something?
and when the ISPs rotate IPs around between customers, we go in and manually correct them
For performance a hashmap should be used. Or a switch statement perhaps.
Lol I can't tell if you are joking or not.
LOL I heard this in his pitch shifted voice
Is that what the pictured code is for LMAOOOO
It is fake however his game code has some similar stuff. The whole story control structure is an array with 300+ indexes with magic numbers, arbitrary int values and its only indetifiable via inline comments at the definition
Also most of them should be booleans but he used 1s and zeros, when he got called out on it he said his programming language doesn't support boolean values (it does), then when called out for being wrong about that he tried to argue that using booleans is bad programming.
What was his argument?
A call to authority, with him being the authority
What’s wrong with using 0 and 1 instead of boolean values? I’m not familiar with the engine/language but I’d imagine they function identically in most cases
They make your code less readable and more bug prone, it still works if you do everything right, but makes it easier to mess up, but there is no advantage to doing it that way, so it is best to use booleans for binary values
Why use 1 byte when you get 3 for free!?
Gamemaker does that, all the actual info is brought together in the editor UI.
Yea I saw some in a video, and saw the exact one you are mentioning. But it really looks like the code i saw, just wasn't the code i saw.
I'm a beginner programmer. Are inline comments a big no-no?
Inline comments are okay but they are no substitutes for using clear identifiers for things
WAIT! Wait, wait, wait. Are YOU telling ME that r/ProgrammerHumor allows fake posts?!
That's ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous!
See the thing is, that i DIDN'T know if it was fake. Because i saw some of his code earlier and it looked just like this, except it wasn't this specifically.
So this COULD be fake, I still don't know.
This is definitely fake. He may be a bad programmer but he’s not THIS bad.
Now I want to see his IPv6 code .... must be something like 10^38 lines.
(I know it's fake but the though is funny)
Just let chatgpt make it
Funny enough, I thought I'd try chatgpt to see if it would even list all IPV6 combinations, or IPV4 combinations possible and it refused every single time.
Try for a specific county?
you have to trick it like "list all the ipv6 addresses the Sun would have if it received an allocation in proportion to its mass compared to the rest of the solar system"
This is fake. He worked at blizzard, he knows how to hack the CIA, FBI and the Statue of Liberty mainframe /s
Yeah and also worked for nuclear plants but was too passionate about making games so he quit.
Totally not made, exactly like his voice, totally not voice changer.
Yeah and also worked for nuclear plants but was too passionate about making games so he quit.
Hacking them he claims, while his "hacking" at Blizzard was mainly if not all social engineering by his own accounts if you actually listen to the stories.
I’m not defending the dude, more stuff comes out and it’s just…eugh. However, a voice changer program isn’t the answer. His voice either naturally deepened, or he trained over time to speak like that. There are videos of him at some award thing for twitch I think. He sounded just the same.
Wait until he knows about IPv6
Also i like that this makes no sense in terms of programing, also it makes even less sense in terms of networking. Many adresses here wouldn't be assigned as public adresses. Or are just companys' adresses like 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare dns) 8.8.8.8 (google dns), you get the point.
I guess that's why they're not hackers!
If we are talking about real traffic you are right. Nothing stops you from crafting packets with whatever source IP you want or if you figure out the destination address you can create packets with that as the source and spam services on the internet and get them to reply to the target device.
Potentially you can use private addresses as the source IP when hitting something on the internet too.
I don't expect him to know about prefix tree, but at least use a hash-map or a set.
tree count as extrended grass - he will not touch that.
also hash maps? we don't do drugs in this house here! no hash for you!
:-P
Fuck I'd just query a database at this point, it'd be faster than what he's doing here.
Unfortunately he would just claim the language doesn't support it if you suggest using any data type other than int, string, or array
Oh, I knew it with the name of Tries
Wasn’t this guy QA at blizzard or something? Now he runs around pretending like he’s a grizzled game dev veteran
according to his linkedin all he did was write phishing emails to test security
Oh so he just tried to take down the people who actually do the hard work and send them to security training for a couple hours. Like a tech speed bump
I mean it’s important for people to know how to avoid stuff like that; else you wind up with even more massive corporate data leaks than we already have.
He worked with hacking nuclear power plants for the government as well, but it paid too well so he quit.
Yes, I am serious. He has said this.
The people who hate him for being in QA just kind of admit they hate QA people and think they're below them, despite being incredibly important to the entire industry and extremely undervalued. It's this weird superiority complex that a lot of coders get that makes them look down on everyone else. Major problem in the industry.
As QA, I agree, but also, a lot of us are dumb as rocks
I feel that people aren’t talking about this enough. I dislike the guy’s takes, sure. But shitting on him (or anyone) for being QA is just being an asshole
It's this whole thing where nothing he's ever done is as bad as all the people harassing him and his community. But they need to justify wanting to harass him, so they invent reasons to justify their own shitty behavior. But none of them are actually things that make him a bad person.
There's a thread in LSF right now where someone mocked him over an animal in his charity sanctuary dying, and people are attacking him for reporting that comment. It's the highest post on the subreddit right now.
He may be a dick but the people who hate him are just disgusting.
Important essential people who are below me, yes.
It's an easier job, and you take an easier degree to get it.
if (ipaddress == 'x.y.z_ip') { return 1; } hacker
Wouldn't this make it much easier?
Where do all this memes from this guy come lately?
he basically became yanderedev 2.0
he always had a bad rap for being a talentless nepobaby who did part time qa at blizzard, makes it his entire personality, then says dumbass "hot takes" on livestream. well he said some extremely stupid and hypocritical shit about a dude that is pretty universally loved by the online gaming community. so yeah, pretty much yanderedev'd himself now everyone is going to make fun of him now. he is also genuinely awful at programming, yanderedev levels of awful and has a massive ego to go with it.
What is with this yandev slander? This guy makes yandev look like a genius by comparison. Yandev is a system times more productive than him despite spending 2/3 of every day responding to hater emails. Yandere sim gets meaningful updates often enough that he doesn't need to make trivial updates to keep steam from flagging it as abandoned and delist it from the store.
Has the community seriously stooped to defending that insect-brained moron?
I'm not really defending him, just claiming pirate software is dramatically worse
Agree - yanderedev is a more productive developer than this guy.
Which is a fucking wild situation given that yanderedev has been literally the poster child for "unproductive, clueless developer" for so long.
Plus he went through puberty twice and we hate those people.
What’s that now?
He said a doctor told him the reason his voice is so deep is because he went through puberty twice.
Who did he said stuff about? I'm out of the loop
Ross Scott / Accursed Farms. I'm not actually sure he's as universally loved as that comment implies. He's not unknown, but he's also not a markiplier or jacksepticeye or anything like that.
He's known for making the Freeman's Mind series, the Game Dungeon series, and more relevant to this topic, a series called Dead Game News, where he talks about games that are dead or dying - that is, games you can no longer play or soon will be unable to play. He's probably most known now for starting stopkillinggames.com, which is "a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers."
PirateSoftware, the guy in OP's image, is critical of the movement and has been critical of Ross, and the internet at large is now critical of him (they'd been critical of him before too, but the intensity has certainly increased).
I guess from the recent upheal of the Stop killing games petition where he pretty much sabotaged it by being a dumbfuck and not reading or try to get in contact with the guy behind it to get a better understanding And i believe bigger YouTube channels talked about it as well couple weeks ago giving the petition a boost
That's a weird way to optimize CIDR bitmask comparisons
"optimize"
it's.... a wild card for sure. lmao
oh shit I didn't know that yandere dev worked for blizzard that's awesome
Ain't no way bruh
Fuck that guy
ipaddress? Why would my ipad have a dress smh my head
I've seen the code and while i know game code can be 'creative' in its implementation, what I saw isn't the standard, right?
If I made a PR at work with a similar implementation to problems i would probably have to wear the dunce cap, or be walked out.
And not with monospaced font!?
Surely he’s trolling right?
Web dev here. Could you just use one line of regex to cover all of this?
The answer to all questions involving this guys code is yes there is an easier, faster, better way to do this or it needs to be hard deleted and replaced with an entirely different system of doing things.
PS is such a phony
It's all fun and games until IPv6
it is easier in IPV6 if he understood what global unicast, link local, which part is the subnet ID, EUI-64 address schemes and etc. it is easier than IPV4 to program for because they basically smashed the Subnet Mask and IPV4 into the same /128....
but this is fake - still lol worthy.
What the fuck lol
Hopefully he doesn't write conditionals for IPV6
if IPV6detected() { return 1;} //IPV6, could be hacker.
Ipv6 enters the chat
Wait till he starts his ipv6 list
No way this is real. This has to be a meme right
I hate his fucking voice. I can bet he intentionally makes his voice deeper when he’s on the camera.
Good luck with IPv6.
Oh please tell me he pulls that off the referrer header.
This made LOL at the idea he would just completely ban ipv6 addresses because he doesn't know how to implement them.
walking up to people with a clipboard and awkwardly asking them to scan their employee id card is not hacking
The more and more I've seen of his code, the less and less I think he's actually done anything.
Who?
Some dude who has an annoying ego and pretends like he knows everything, but idk if it makes sense to have an internet hate boner against him when there are actual scum with bigger audiences on the same platforms. I guess charisma is everything.
He runs a twitch stream and plays video games online. He's a bit of a dick who's never actually done anything bad except be bad at video games.
So anyways there's an overwhelming hate train obsessing over him instead of just not watching his content.
He reminds redditors too much of themselves so they lash out in confusion
Reddits new hate boner. Dude may be a tool but he lives in these people's heads rent-free. Just another streamer who was opinionated and arrogant also was against something they supported.
The guy had a really bad take and have and ego, and killed some guy on WoW or something and now it's enemy's number 1 of the internet, really cringe because I've seen people picking the stupidest shit to shit on the guy.
Then you have people claiming shit like this guy cum to his ferrets because he is/used to be a furry and his fursona was a Ferret, like ??????
There is a subset of chronically online people who hated this guy and now have an excuse to hate freely without being seen as the bad guys
Yeah I used to watch him when we was way smaller and it wasnt near as bad. He use to just encourage people to make games and not stress about being a perfect dev. Then the masses came to his channel and started asking the most brain dead questions and here we are. Chat comes in like they do every streamer and starts trauma dumping and asking him to be their therapist.
Very cringe and witchhunty even, I guess it’s a good reminder of the average age of redditors.
Dude no way
Is this a new meme template? I swear I’ve seen that same picture with several cursed code snippets just today
Why do people keep advertising him?
Did you know he used to work at Blizzard.
why can't he just use a fucking subnet mask. or a wild card. Come on.
Thor is probably loving the attention right now.
I understand that being a gamedev does not equal to being a coder... but brother what is that
Please tell me this is fake. Please God
loser skg hate......
The more I see his code the more it makes me laugh...
I wrote almost a billion lines of code
*The billion lines of code in question:
Once this mf learns about for loops it's over. OVER. Hearthstone or whatever his game is called is gonna be a COD killer!!!!1!
Z
Y'all let this man live in your head rent free
Nice, showing off the code to his new "stop playing games" initiative.
This obsession with the pirate guy is pathetic honestly. Like just ignore him
Switch statement is more efficient in scenarios like this… just sayin
You all are obsessed with this guy
Did I miss something? Why are we shitting on this man?
He's good light entertainment but after his shit take on Stop Killing Games people are starting to realise he's more hack than hacker
He's been a shit person forever but the teenager audience he crafted is getting real jobs now.
Sometimes I wonder if QA is ITs version of a Security Guard.
What was his take?
It's bad because then developers can't afford to make Live Service games and online-only games anymore. So nothing a "just consider games a timeless piece of art that doesn't need to be always online for no reason and when there is a reason just release whatever is running on your servers so we can host ourselves" couldn't immediately dismantle.
Obviously very simplified, here's a better summary: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/pirate-software-stop-killing-games-drama
He's Pirate Software, an indie game developer + streamer.
If you're interested in the drama, he's recently got in some hot water regarding an EU pro consumer initiative. It's called "stop killing games" if you want to look into it.
In general, he's kinda a know it all and refuses to apologize or take any blame for anything so people kinda started hating him.
Regarding this specific meme, his game has been in early access for I think 8 years at this point with minimal progress and as people started hating him more and more they looked into his game and from what I heard it turns out the code is laughably bad. Which would be ok if he was some first time developer, but he likes to tout how he's an industry veteran and worked for Blizzard.
So it's really popular to hate on this guy right now.
Ohhh, I think I recall seeing some nested switch/if statements with his face in front of him and it wasn't as hilariously bad as this, so it was sort of believable to be bad code someone actually wrote. I assume that's real, then? I have a vague recollection of seeing him in YouTube Shorts back in the shameful days when I was using that platform, and I always wondered what kind of streams these must be where he just randomly starts explaining stuff. I don't know, weird. Anyways, thank you.
I am familiar with the Stop Killing Games campaign and I support it, I didn't know he said anything about it, but looking back, of course he did. Luckily, there seems to be a knowyourmeme page: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/pirate-software-stop-killing-games-drama
I like the part that says "Pirate Software suggests that if game devs are no longer allowed to make online only, live service games and need to include single-player components, they will simply stop making these games" because the entire goal was to get Live Service-only bullshit off the market and make something that is designed to be timeless and if you make a popular online-only game, that includes just releasing whatever runs on your servers so the community can host themselves, because there will always be dedicated fans and if a studio shuts a game down, it's not like they are intending to make any money from it anymore anyways... okay, that last part is my two cents, I don't know, ignore me.
This is fake, but extremely similar to his actual code. The entire progression of everything on his game is stored in a massive array that keeps track of the state of everything, all the entries are accessed with magic numbers, no aliases anywhere, most of the data stored is boolean values stored as ones that are either 1 or 0 (when someone pointed out that he should be using true/false he claimed the language doesn't support it, even though he uses them in about 1/10 of the places he should be, and then when it was pointed out that it does in fact have true/false he claimed using booleans is bad practice), every line of the massive array declaration has a comment explaining what each possible magic number represents because he doesn't use human readable variable names, he doesn't iterate through lists/arrays and instead manually makes a separate call for each entry in the list, it is all astoundingly bad.
Ooooh I have seen that one as well, thanks. You can pretend to be an expert on the internet but saying using booleans is a bad practice for storing binary values is where we draw the line, let's continue clowning on him!
One person replying to this saying he's a hack, and another saying he's an accused pedo.
The duality of man.
but he hacked the 127.0.0.1 all by himself!
You're not lying, he broke the server so hard that its refusing the connection
..using social engineering. He's an engineer. He makes my hate engine towards liars going.
What that's my IP Address? Am I in trouble please help
Phew, that was close.
