i bet several shekels there's dialogue in that array that maldy forgot about and will never be referenced. still gets loaded into ram tho
This is what annoys me the most, that Mald probably thinks that resources are infinite and that somethings loaded in to ram and being unused is fine. Instead of thinking about any solution that actually could work AND make it more enjoyable to do the work he wants to be a faggot instead.

For one who is so proud of being a programmer/game dev/ industry veteran with 20 gorillion years of experience and he worked at blizzard btw (NOT a nepobaby!!!!!) you would think then he would also take pride in the quality of the code he writes. Instead he's a walking, waste of air insult to anyone who even has a modicum of interest in the field.

How ThePrimeagen ever endorses this fucking faggot retard is beyond me, and that he doesnt see through the ruse that is the Ferret Fucker is some mind game.

edit: newfag forgot to finish a fucking sentence im 2 retarded 4 writing
 
Mald is different. He does in fact know how to code above a level of a beginner. He's at least somewhat familiar with the engine he's using. To me his code look a lot like the code of a second year compsci student. Just barely familiar enough with the basic building blocks, but still struggling with how to write code that isn't a trainwreck. The issue is of course that he's been working in the game industry for a very long time, supposedly and shouldn't code like he's trying to pass Introduction to Data Structures.
This retard leaves shitton of junk code, decisions and absurd incompetence that it baffles me for one. He was Nepo baby for years, was errand boy for Blizzard coders and he work this shit for a decade and everything he codes is filled more spaghetti code.
 
0: make cake with
324: make cake with

one is chocolate, the other is strawberry. the way you comment it is
0: make cake with //thjis one is chocolate
324: make cake with //thjis one is strawberry

which is colossaly fucking retarded. on a json structure, you could go

cake_chocolate: make cake with
cake_strawberry: make cake with

Honestly he doesn't even need JSON, he could just use inheritance for it to modify the array dynamically, which could be stored in a simple CSV file. I think.

Edit: wait no that's dangerous I'm dumb.
 
Ogay, real shit. All that talk about how garbage Mald's code is made me, a complete knuckledragger who doesn't understand programming and considers it black magic, curious.
Lay it out in the most simplistic, retardproof way. Tell me how and why it's bad and how would you improve it. Provide examples. Any insight helps. I am paying in :semperfi:s.

You and I go to a picnic, no homo.
I put my silverware and food in special boxes, that only I can access via fingerprints.
You put everything in a burlack sack, because you're a lazy faggot.
We then go harass some trannies and leave our stuff behind
Suddenly!!!
A pack of roaming feral niggers appears!!
They try to get into my food and steal my silverware, but they can't, because they don't have access.
On the other hand, they steal all your silverware and literally shit in your food.
We come back.
I eat my delicious unspoiled food and have a good time, while you eat slop that a nigger took a shit in.

I can't explain it more retarded then this.
 
I think the most annoying aspect of this faggot is that people actually capitulate and call him "Thor" on social media
 
Mald said that after Pirate Nation did some tweet, people removed negative Reviews from Rivals of Aether 2. Does someone know about this? Sadly cant link the clip

Line too similar to other line. Why write many line when few line work better?
This looks like it was generated by another piece of code (that was generated by an LLM). Guy uses a machine the entire purpose of which is to automate shit, yet manages to do all this useless work manually.
Hold the fuck up. He's indexing an array with an enum already. Except it's not named, and neither is the members.

He could literally write something like global.talky_list[SceneEnum.Scene6][ArtifactSpriteEnum.Neutral]. This wouldn't fix all the other issues, but it would be a trivial change that saves him from having to flip back to the global array every time a sprite needs referencing from elsewhere. I am baffled.
 
Finally, code reuse. Programmers are lazy by nature, we hate doing more work than we need to. Reinventing the wheel sucks, especially when we're the one who made the wheel. So we try to reuse code whenever possible. But there is a correct way, and a wrong way to reuse code. The wrong way is what Mald has done, literal copy and pasting the code everywhere its needed. This creates a shit ton of files that are almost entirely identical, with massive amounts of repeated code. Each differs by only a small handful of lines of code: setting values to the story array. How any programmer who has had Object Orientation slammed into there skull a million times has likely been taught the concept of inheritance. Using this very simple concept, we can instead make the copies simply say "Use the entirity of this original file, but I want this one function to work differently". Congrats, you have reduced your line count by several thousand across the project and made it infinitely more readable.
I'm not a professional programmer but when I was a kid things like java and lua were not languages that influenced big things, they were novelties that people didn't take seriously. object oriented programming was something that the programming greybeards were very vocal about being an unserious thing for non-serious work like video games and school projects. i don't know how old pirate software is but he strikes me as the kind of person who would have learned c++ because "thats what everything serious is written in" and like never really changed as times changed
 
I called this shit even knowing it would pass in 4 days, to no credit of my own because it was so easy to tell that he would try to take credit for the initiative and that people would hate him this much to get it going strong. The blog he linked sheepishly was already being sperged in his discord and twitch chat about "muh government overreach" But mald cannot stop himself from doing the most predictable braindead behaviour at every fucking turn of events and it has gotten him fired. some of his gunt guardians even came in here in during our celebration without being aware what site they just put their fucking email and IP through :sad: bad OPSEC retards.

I have a lot of problems with how mald "codes" and most of it is that making a video game gets progressively easier if you know what you're doing but it begins to slow down if you made retarded decisions early on and cut corners. Oh wait, that's all he knows how to do is the bare minimum. Remember how mald claimed that he made the engine heartbound ran in himself? remember how he claimed that he called the local police and told them to make his address immune to swatting? Do I need to even spell out how many problems there are with either of those statements? Why lie if you can't even keep up with them? Why also say something that puts you at a higher risk of danger like that?

I don't think it was posted in here so I'll go ahead and post it now, but Kitboga made an announcement of pulling a collab he had coming up with mald.

yeah he should be called by his real first name, James
Even if his name was that, calling him by his first name would a massive disservice to every James, or Jason (or Hall for that matter) who's ever posted/lurked in this thread.
That's why we call him Mald.
