You can host the server on the same machine the game is running on, it's not uncommon during development especially the early stages.

I don't have a problem if someone wants to turn a battle royale into a 4 player game.

If someone wants to host something bigger, that's cool too.

I think there would be room in the market for a group to host servers for abandoned games.

It's not terribly difficult or costly to set up a cloud host if you remember to put the cost restrictions on, so there's one more option for multiplayer games.

That's for games in the past, games going forward could be designed better. But for games that have already been made, there's no reasonable way to redesign games that have already been published. Any redesign will change the game instead of preserving it, and you'll never get the original devs back together with the original tech stack in order to do any major changes. But smaller things like getting old games to be able to point to different servers isn't a big problem.

Or just let someone else host a fucking server and let the game get pointed to that one or any other they want. They could even sell the server software and make money on that. I'd love to host my own servers of some old online only games where I could play with just my friends and family.

Don't worry, we saved at most $2 million by letting US AID food rot.

It served its purpose, it cut aid to those who needed it and gave money to those who didn't. I think maybe they thought that cutting the social safety nets would have saved more money, but that's all they're going to be upset about.

If there is a WWIII, I doubt America will be left alone as much as it was the last two times, especially since that led to America becoming the economic powerhouse it became.

The cop was armed and was already known to shoot someone in the back, the father was afraid for his life and had to make a split second decision.

Well they certainly can't blame themselves now, imagine how much pain it would cause them to realize the truth.

A guy I used to work with would, at least I would swear it, submit shit code just so I would comment about the right way to do it. No matter how many times I told him how to do something. Sometimes it was code that didn't actually do anything. Working with co-pilot is a lot like working with that guy again.

Too bad he won't be arrested and charged for all the laws he broke.

[–] Davin@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Weird, guy who breaks laws with impunity doesn't care about laws.

He's in the class of people protected by the law but not bound by it, and we're in the class of people bound by the law but not protected by it.
