Honestly when the brains come together on hackernews to reverse engineer and unfuck a high profile videogame I get unreasonably excited. The guy that fixed the GTAV loading times via identifying a broken JSON loop downloading cosmetics was astonishing to me
- lamontcg 3y agoPeople doing work on their own free time to fix a corporation's mistakes for them gets you excited?

- bloqs 3y agoYes - it reminds me that despite any overbearing corporatist or draconian protections on games in this very modern "service game" era, people are still clever enough to not only reverse engineer them, but resolve issues that cost some people thousands of hours of pain. I still game an awful lot, GTAVs loading screens is one of many examplea that have juat caused me collectively hours of pain. I hate the anti-consumer world in which games are now made, but individual hobbyist brilliance fills me with joy.
