I thought the only programming mald put any actual effort into was his voice changer but now he's even fucked that up and it's getting deeper, maybe it's the 3rd puberty.
Mald is one of my favorite type of lolcows, an eternal bullshitter who's really fucking bad at it. Just enough success to get cocky and arrogant enough to get to those Segal levels of narcissistic delusion before everyone sees who he really is.
Jason is what happens when the my dad works at nintendo kids actually has a dad who worked at nintendo.

Because paraphilias are like Funko Pops for your mind: you're either a normal person who doesn't have any, or you're a degenerate with a big collection of them, and exhibitionism is one of the more common ones.

Sony had a contract with the Discovery Channel and sold episodes of their shows to Playstation users, then pulled the episodes from users' libraries after their contract ended, so the "purchases" ended up being short-term rentals, rather than the purchases they were marketed as.

Code sperg but what retard in the Gamemaker dev team decided that "<= 0.5" being falsey was good language design? Are they retarded? Did Maldavius Figtree social engineer his way onto the Gamemaker dev team???

im not very smart but i'd assume it's not too bad considering it's basically rpg maker super beginner friendly type shit.
you're not trying to bring on board experienced coders with habits in other languages, youre trying to give people an 'in' to making some simple shit for fun and to try and learn.
if you're experienced and know non 0's should be true; you probably also know to look at documentation and would have your answers in the first place.
if you're new you're not even trying to minmax operands, this is a huge thing i think mald doesn't get, he never learned cool little things you can do in other environments/IDE's, he just looks at other projects and says 'yea thats cool ima do that' without knowing why they do that.

which is totally fine and a great way to learn; by being a script kiddie first and figuring out how to fix your mess you made with other people's recipe, but not a great way to make yourself look like a prior savant of silicon valley..
edit: being a script kiddie isn't bad until you aren't giving credit where it's due or start acting like hot shit, even pro's give credit to the modules they borrow (imgui, etc), tldr: always appreciate hard work

Couldn't help but notice that these are the same "puzzles" as in figuratively every other fucking "ARG".

its 100% cookie cutter arg shit found in a lot of rpg maker/gms type games ( do all puzzles have to be arg's to be fucking interesting? lol no ), you'd expect someone experienced with args to know how to take predictable boring garbage and turn it into actual fun while still being a puzzle ( fyi: atleast according to heartbound wiki edits, it's 1 brazilian guy with a unibrow that solved a big chunk of the later chapters over the course of a few days: arg autist )...

that's why something as simple looking like 'The Witness' i think comes off as fucking amazing because it's a game where you drag a damn dot across a little board and holy shit is it rewarding when you figure out where you put the stupid dot, even if it's the 500th time ( and you can usually easily ignore the pretentiousness of the game ), also that game continued to receive updates years later lol.

By the rules of the system, no it doesn't, they have to give it the same level of discussion regardless. In practical reality, knowing that ten million people care alongside a bunch of high profile figures will matter more than one million. Democracy is a popularity contest and nothing else at the end of the day.

But this shouldn't be a huge issue either way, assuming the line is crossed - As Ross stated in his Videos, this is a pretty simple win for politicians. The ask is operating on the basis of logic that most people hold to be morally and rationally right, nobody thinks its fair to hit "Buy" and then have your shit actively reclaimed, look at the Sony digital library backlash recently. Throwing down a few basic "Don't do thats" stem most of the bleeding, don't meaningfully impact profits or firms, and looks good to pretty much every side of the european political aisle.

I think it's safe to say that politicians are more prone to pay attention to the petitions that get more attention. It's in their best interests to keep their jobs.
 
Maldavius got this booted off youtube (not my work).

He was so upset when that emoji of the ferret swinging its butt got removed.
Still no monthly update on his game either. The one he promised at the first of every month starting in 2025. I am sure it will be jam-packed with content!
Know why? Because it is never getting finished.
I can't wait to see how many more rakes he steps on, on his journey to obscurity. No matter how much he bots, no matter how much he lies, he has dug his own 'online persona' grave.

The race to the bottom battle between idubbbz and Maldavius Figtree has been extremely entertaining!

its still there, twitch just tried to, but I guess he manipulated the mods enough with the "NO YOU WANT TO FUCK FERRETS" argument that they allowed it.

I think the saddest thing is that he is genuinely pretty good at the Social Engineering stuff. He has the confidence to lie straight to someone's face, and quick enough on the uptake to be able to play along with a live interaction to get through it "on top". I doubt he did much in-person stuff because his appearance stands out too much. Most security guards would instinctively not want to let him in anywhere, even if he was supposed to be there.

The problem is the fact that his "skill" isn't really a skill. It's a mental illness. He lacks the ability to turn that part of his brain off. Much like the kid that hacked vtech and Nintendo (except that kid was actually a savant, and good at what he did). They just cannot stop themselves from poking and taking advantage and digging themselves into a hole, sometimes legal, sometimes moral, and sometimes the rare overlap of the two.

I feel like the amount he googles himself and responds to everything is definitively self harm, but he thinks it is good because he's feeding the psychic-tapeworm that is his ego.

It's like the venom suit, but it makes you a terminally online "erm actually" dipshit.

That is horrifying and disgusting. I guess, it is Twitch, so I shouldn't be surprised. I guess his double-barrel freakout about how bad his community loved and needed it made sense to the deerkin mods.

Barone took advantage of a genre/franchise that was in this weird state of limbo and wanting to expand on it, addressing issues people had with the initial genre/franchise (Harvest Moon). During the time of this game being made, those types of games were absent due to publishers and devs fighting over the rights (which is why the actual Harvest Moon titles are now called Story of Seasons), barely adding anything new for each sequel, and had nothing going for it other than "This game is now on another platform." Life sim games cannot top this game because it came out at the best and right time.

Heartbound, however, came out after Undertale. Whatever you think of Undertale, you can't deny it exploded in popularity. You probably can't go anywhere without seeing something about Deltarune, the true sequel to Undertale. All Heartbound has to its name is "that game Matthew Patrick called Undertale 2 to get clicks and caused Toby Fox to yell at him." And honestly, calling it Undertale 2 is hurtful, not to Undertale or Deltarune, but to Heartbound, because if your main comparison is literally one of the biggest RPG games from 2015, guess what people are going to play instead of "Undertale 2?"

Heartbound is the Starbound of indie games. A shell of what it tried to immitate, unfinished, no matter how much work is put into it, and ironically ending in the name bound.

Reading through these materials. Thanks for sharing!

There was this player N3X15 which from a glance looks like a normal slightly freaky SL nerd.
> "n3x trusts everyone and steers away from drama" (said another SL freak)
Mald seems to not like him.

Not only he played SL with Jason but he's also around the same age and lives in the same state.
This is the sort of "nerd code builder" that Maldy skinwalks a large chunk of his personality off of.

Dude seems fine, but just sharing since it could lead to something more interesting: Github & Twitter

No fucking way. Nexis was a prolific Space Station 13 developer, an ex /vg/station maintainer (as you can see on his github) and worked on Kerbal Space Program. He was highly respected, skilled, and a good guy to interact with. Why does my autism game reach everywhere?

I agree, and this is a positive point about Eric, he had vision and put in the work to make it real. Stardew Valley as you said, expanded on the genre; Heartbound didn't.


No matter the opinion on Eric, objectively speaking, he's 1000x better indie game dev than Jason.

The reason why Jason won't finish Heartbound is because he would have to stop doing Heartbound development updates on the first of each month and find something new to stream about. Like playing WoW all day.
Click to expand...
He won't finish because there's a lot of work to do and basically nothing to gain. He has already sold it to essentially everyone who's willing to buy. After 8 years is there anyone who's waiting in the wings for the game to be finished before they pay for it?
