when i made soktdeer, i made it use only a websocket because i didn't really understand how to make the websocket and api work together when i initially started revnet, i was on a version that didn't need the websocket and api to work together all that much. but when i updated it to 2018, i finally had to make them actually function as two parts of a whole (gamesession apis) and... it was so easy. like. insanely ridiculously unbelievably easy. genuinely no clue how i didn't understand it.
