Say what you like about piratesoftware, he's not even in the same league as yandev
You can make an argument that Yandev was just inexperienced. He wrote bad code due to limited knowledge.
PirateSoftware talks all the time that he worked (through nepotism) at Blizzard (as QA) for 8 years and has like 20 yoe in total or something like that.
It's unacceptable that his code looks like that. His code will not pass any code review at real work.
Idk how the 6.5 years morphed into 8 now... but was an intern on 2004, then in 2009 got in independently. And from there you count 6.5.
No matter how much a part of the internet insists, that you have john carmak-tall to ride the game dev ride. He never claimed to be a super-programmer, thats just what the internet pulled from thin air.
I literally seem shorts of him saying shit like, "When I worked in blizzard, we did this <simplest shit in the world>, it worked so well, nobody could ever imagine or break this"
Which one? Those are not hard to find.
theres that one video about piratesoftware with discord mod gumball as the thumbnail. that's all the info you need
About? ...well! None of those were wrong before! So its good enough for me. /s
(just noticed the phrasing. ...lol)
A link is what i need.
i searched piratesoftware coding and jts the first result that came up. not sure if i can post link here but im pretty sure thats not too advanced for you, right?

THe dude didnt even searched for any of the defcon writeups?! Bruh...
He probably should know where to look, since He Fucking Knows That he won with teams!
And no, before you say it. A black badge counts regardless if you win one solo or with a team.
Oh! Its actually both the black badge stories in the one episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=del-c1Pmo-E&pp=ygUTcHBwIGRhcmtuZXQgZGlhcmllcw%3D%3D
Go help that News fellow out!:

- Blizzard interninng: See? 6 months.
- since information technology is famously such a degree-heavy field its obvious, that self-taught people are incapable of any work, or can become knowledgeable in a subject... /s
- how is this "understatement" of his dads role at blizzard in any way relevant in some kind of special way? ...perplexing. (especially, since he stated his dads position at the company before, but cherrypicking is pretty strong with this one)(And its in the freaking video, like a minute later! But this guy still sells it, like its some grand revelation... Bruh!....tf is that?

At 4:12:
- Bro!.. "the timeline here starts matching up with..."
Again! Like its a big conspiracy.
- the previous seven years is where he did SL stuff, freelancing, was homeless for a year, its just a lumped together block, where you kinda describe what skills you pick up.
searched your words.... What do you know?!! No gumball in sight!
ps.: anyway, is this the one you meant?

You answered the wrong comment

what a really weird hill to die on since it prove you cant use google or youtube
Alright... Crackers being able to crack anything. As they should,that scene is sick and very cool! And corporations perodically can go fuck themselves, when they squeeze the consumers too hard(and special Fuck You! goes out to Sony, for their rootkit shenaniganse)!
And the fact, that Thor made a creative solution, so pirated versions of his game cannot appear on the leaderboards, cause thats what its actually for.
But that didnt enter the conversation, now. Did it?
He and everyone even vaguely familiar with steam knows, that steam drm is not in any way unbeatable.
Aside from that early in the video mistake, and supplying a single short as evidence (not malice, i dont think, but a capital B blunder for sure!)(and not good practice). And he also plays up the drama factor, but otherwise the dude seems pretty cool.
None of this is an argument for the above comment tho...
Dude streams 12 hours, like 5 days a week. And people ask it a whole bunch.
Ok, why are you doing two comments to answer every time? Can't you either wait to gather all your thoughts before answering ? Or even edit your comment ? This makes reading your answers really confusing...
Also I know it's not really an argument, but it at least shows that he says he never talks about it when he in fact does, so he's lying, or trying to gaslight, and so it shows he's willing to change what he says depending on what is more convenient for him at the moment...
And in the clips he says 7 years, wouldn't be surprised if it was 8 sometimes.
When he says. He never talks about it. He means he never does unprompted. That conversation has a lead-in.
(Sorry, for the answers thing, phone...)
Edit: its 6.5 . Thats not going to get 8. Its 7 at max. Even if he counts in the interning. However long that was
Whatever, I don't really care about that subject.
I'll just say that when that guy said 8 it's not like it was so far from the 7 years that Pirate Software says himself, it doesn't fundamentally change anything to what's being talked about here...
And I'm also using phone, if you're even a just little bit handy that shouldn't be an excuse
Quickcut? Really?
He goes the "I'm a game dev for X years who worked at Blizzard btw." all the time to give more validity to his arguments. Nobody cares about his qualifications, it's only when you insist on it and everything. "You don't know anything about how bad stop killing games is, you aren't a gamedev who worked a Blizzard.", which I think is also a stupid argument regardless of his person and an arguement for another time. Him being a manipulative narcissistic also checks out with the social engineering part anyway.
But regardless, who cares if people say 6.5 or 8? Those both are high enough numbers that it doesn't matter too much...
The argument he made for not supporting skg had literally nothing to do with blizzard.
Seemingly not everybody cares how long his tenure was a blizzard. But one of those numbers is accurate and not to be conflated with his short interning (aka the nepotism part).
He truly, genuinely is. The only thing PS didn't do yet is attempting to groom a minor. But he has cheated on his wife and on both his side-lovers at the time.
As for coding... With Yanderedev his code was bad but you could see what he was trying to do. Some optimizations that people suggest would just be syntactic sugar too.
Meanwhile PirateSoftware is doing pixel-shading in the update function instead of, oh I don't know... A shader?
I never thought I would see someone give YanDev a run for his patreon money, yet here we are. Prime milk for the cum chalice.
I have no idea about this manga or game dev.
Jujutsu Kaisen for the manga
Is YandereDev still not finished?!
Haven't looked up the game for years.
Funnily enough he's actually still working on it and surprisingly it's actually looking a lot better
i respect the sheer dedication
He gained experience on the job LOL
was this recent? last time i checked source a few months ago it was still horrendous
Imagine if those two had a podcast.
Oh come on, don’t give them ideas
Everyone wanted to play yandere simulator, I can't say the same about heartstone.
All 5 fans of heartbound are gonna be upset you used the wrong name
Who are these people and why is neither of them Toby Fox?
Toby Fox publicly acknowledges his lack of coding skill. He has humility.
Didn't Yandere too? He had plenty shitty to borderline unethical practices, but lying about his skill wasn't one. Just this week alone, I've seen Thor call a programmer a hack, because he suggested using booleans and for loops, which "don't exist in Game Maker script".
yeah, also iirc yandev says it was supposed to be a development or prototype or whatever it is I kinda forgot, which wasn't meant to be the actual final game code as they intended to hire an actual programmer
Yandere was stubborn though, weren’t they? I heard that they were told a few ways they could optimize their code only to just refuse and keep doing things their way.
For real, Toby is a nice guy from everything I've seen. Why pull him into this?
They are both incompetent hacks. On the left is PirateSoftware. On the right "Yandere Dev".
FINALLY a good Pirate Software meme
Ps is out of mana, what is he supposed to do vs yandev?
Have you ever seen PirateSoftware and Yanderedev in the same room? 💀
IS THIS A MEME FORMAT NOW!!!!!!!
because I'm gonna use it all the time now
As someone who used to watch pirate software and now don't you guys care way too much. Or is it just karma farming?
The Internet is a poor place for nuance discussions and this is a good example.
A lot of the claims against Pirate Software are exaggerated, but they are not exactly untrue.
Yeah there are reasons I stopped watching, but also tired of seeing him in my feed. Also he's just a dude so don't be surprised when he does petty human things. Worry about your own behavior. Xoxo
I find it really funny that you're getting heavily downvoted for just asking a question. How DARE you go against the hivemind and not despise PS with all of your being!
Yeah asking legit questions gets you downvoted in reddit nowadays.
how could you watch this guy in the first place? all i saw from him before the stop killing games movement where some clips where he had some stuff drawn in paint talked a lot of bs and just used big words and always made a reference to his work at blizzard.
To young dork men he’s pretty cool. Or at least interesting. Fake deep voice, worked at a popular video game company, knows about programming, explains common concepts in layman’s terms.
There’s a lot to like about him especially for young people who are interested in software dev who also like video games.
He just min-maxed exposure by spamming YouTube shorts, rigging the algorithm in his favor. His meteoric rise wasn’t due to quality, just gaming the system.
Kind of like how he got his job at blizzard.
i get it how non technical people fell for it but someone that gets the jokes from this sub should get that he was just a big talker. The clips i saw where the defintinon of someone not knowing what hes talking about but remebering big words and stuff someone else once mentioned. Especially when he was explaining concepts as soon as a actual good question came he just said this guy is dump and does not understand what i said.
You have to remember a large part of this sub is first year CS students trying to fit in to their “community”. A lot of stuff is likely still over their head but they should at least understand the basics. You don’t need to know a lot about anything to understand basic humor.
Ye, it's just a meme at this point, and people are riffing on it.
Idk, to me yanderedev is still worse because his game is cringy and only appeal to creeps and edgelords.
I heard Pirate Software's game is filled with furries with bad puns. Your "cringe meter" should also work for him.
Hey, weirdos are better than creeps, that's near undisputable. Besides, the problem with each isn't really their code - it's up to them to write not-so-shitty, what do we care?
The problem with Yandere was everything else - he pocketed the preorder money and just stopped developing, stole assets and backstabbed contributors. The problem with Thor is his undying arrogance and disingenuity. "Who cares you have a bad code" only works as long as you don't basically claim to be Terry Davis. The snippets I saw were filled with shit even I, a uni junior, can recognize as batshit crazy, and it shines a shadow of doubt on his numerous claims of "being a hacker in Blizzard for seven years" or whatever it is he keeps shouting.
Also, Heartbound is a Kickstarter game with early access on Steam. Jason also pocketed money. I heard Heartbound didn't get a content update for years. His arrogance isn't the only problem.
Just wanted to give information. I don't want to think or argue about which one is worse (Probably Yandev). Both are terrible.
Pirate software wish he could be like yanderedev
/s kind of... A bit...
Yandev's code is comprehensibly bad. PS's code is incomprehensibly bad.
when you're genuinely bad vs not admitting you're genuinely bad
I mean say what you want about yandev (there is plenty to say after all), but with him you can clearly tell what he's trying to do: he just doesn't know how to do it better so he sticks to the simplest code he knows. PS just practically encrypts his code through sheer incompetence, and he has been told how to improve the code, but denies that it needs improving.
yes, that's why I said genuinely bad because i believe the devs say they are bad in programming, unlike pirate software
Poetry at it's finest
one self learn how to code, the other one work at blizzard for 7 years
" my blizzard stories are fake? From who do you want proof, me or my dad (who's in the chat btw) who has 20 years of experience at blizzard, right dad?"
New exposure video is coming soon. Hope it was worth it, bud.
noooooooo mr 7 years at blizzard what have i done to deserve this?!?? sorry... what are you supposed to do for me, right?
