Anyway, he did a writeup for the badge challenges on his blog, but there is no mention of who did what unfortunately, but you just know if there was ever going to be a guy to write this it was going to be Mald to put himself at the center of it:
https://potatohatsecurity.tumblr.com/
Sure, he doesn't need to name who did exactly which step. That's not what I'm talking about. He also didn't do the two available write-ups by himself either, so the pattern still applies. He didn't write up anything himself mentioning other people, the only reason that's the case is because someone else wrote it with him. And even him posting that once doesn't change the 100+ other times he's brought it up framing himself as being the only one who did anything.

Do you get it now?

Haven't seen that one posted here yet. Absolutely mental takes in there.

This same faggot has written NINE articles sucking off Mald since the 27th of June. I wonder what else they've written?
Oh, an article complaining about Fansly banning furries.

This person is absolutely Mald adjacent. They also bitch about runescape removing pride shit, barbie's(yes, the doll) proportions, and so on along with complaining about not being able to jerk off to video games.

Here are some fun clips from yesterday on this, 9 hour and 35 minutes in.
They happen in sequence on stream but I've split into first the usual defecation and second he specifically addresses the hiring a writer.

It's funny he squeezes an Obsidian ad there. Shill clown. Fuck you.
He could at least do some fake blurred screenshots of shitty Obsidian docs, but he probably doesn't even have it installed.

Guys, he's just a hardworking student of the art, don't make fun of him, he's just practicing!!
Hmm yes writing is definitely making chapter 1 of what? 3? Take 8 years hmmm yes

So much of his time goes into carefully maintaining the "emotional integrity of the characters", but when this Tolstoy-tier dialogue hits the game, it magically transforms into "teleports behind you,,, heh,,, nothing personnel,,,, kid"
 
At least he knows his audience? Kek.
He claims that a good portion of his audience are brazilians. He claims that they became his biggest fans because he turned on regional pricing for his heartbound game, acting like it's some ground breaking thing that no other publisher have thought of (or at least rarely use, which is bullshit, games not having regional pricing is the rare case in my experience) He even showcased fanarts of heartbound drawn by these brazilians.

Which is kinda baffling tbh. Regional pricing has been around for so long and I checked on google that brazilians got it on steam from the moment it was introduced. So thor is probably lying out of his ass but his chat does explode into br speak when he talks about it and the fanarts does seem to exist...so are the brazilians just retarded?

It has ZERO endings. It is unfinished. It will never have one, let alone thousands.
I mean, if the game has 5 chapters but claims to have dozens of routes with hundreds of outcomes, it would not be strange for some endings to be in the earlier chapters right? If a game only has good and bad ending, the bad ending can appear at any time, but if the game has a,b,c,...x,y,z endings, it wouldn't be strange for some of them to be in any chapters, no? Just saying.

So, the game currently just stops at chapter 3 with a cliffhanger?

I'm not sure what you are getting at, I was simply responding to that line with some information, that we do know somewhat what he did and it's social engineering while he wants to use the badges as evidence for his hacking (programming) ability.
 
He's not necessarily wrong. The game is retardedly simple, and even people picking apart his shitty code have said as much. The problem comes if he ever finishes the mess and makes another game programming the same way(which he probably would) that actually has performance demands and wouldn't be able to figure out how to fix the resulting issues.


Also not wrong in the sense that he doesn't make money off of it(anymore). He could abandon the game today and sales of the game wouldn't change anything for him, but that's only because his revenue for the past couple of years has been tied to his livestreaming and not game development(that he pretends to do while streaming). If anything, finishing heartbound would only leave him with his minecraft blockgame shit in notepad++ to pretend to be an elite mega indie programmer on stream and would fuck him over as he couldn't realistically come up with another project that wouldn't take another decade to complete. Afterall, he repeatedly claims what's holding up development is the writing of the game, not the programming and he doesn't do any writing on stream(or during his 4 hours of free time a day between fucking ferrets and sleeping).

Yeah, think about that for a moment. Heartbound being finished would ruin his LARP as a game developer for his streaming career.
Sure, those statements are not technically incorrect, but saying he's not fiscally tied to his EA game(that has basically been abandoned) in public, might be the most tone-deaf thing he could have said in response to a question about his game being review-bombed.


This is mald.

His correctitude(or lack thereof) has hardly ever been the chink in his armor. Inconsistency and inability to acknowledge those inconsistencies is what drags him down time and time again(Keemstar still has a career after calling people nigger, as well as countless other controversies, but he either owns it as the 'asshole' or apologizes).

One day mald thinks the game would benefit from performance(20% array), the next day it's a waste of time to squeeze that particular juice(GML 2.0). If confronted with that inconsistency, he will either deflect or argue about how it is not an inconsistency, rather than accept the objective truth of the situation. Funny if that's how he thinks, considering he loves to talk about 'context' and how his words are always taken out of it. Something he apparently does out of habit: compartmentalizing his statements to suit his needs.

The reality is he says whatever he thinks he needs to say in the moment; he says whatever he needs to say to justify a choice he's already made or he says whatever he needs to say to get out of doing something he doesn't want to do. He's a worm, and backtracking would be taking the bottom card out of his house.

Gotta love his newest grift of the writing being the bottleneck. Talk about moving goalposts. It's still a deflection away from his commitment to produce an update in the first week of every month.

There is at least one post describing what he did on his first winning team on Reddit for one of the badges. Basically he was acting as part of staff to slow down other teams by sabotaging their progress the entire weekend, and I think it's very likely he was also in a social engineering role for the second badge too. The Primeagen also never mentioned Mald (or Luke from LTT for that matter) as doing any coding so I think it's very likely he was again doing social engineering.

There is also somewhat of a strange relationship between Mald and his worship of the guy who created the puzzle challenges he was involved in, it wouldn't surprise me if it was rigged to begin with.
Can we talk how that defcon epic hacker shit is cringe if the feds hire people from it?

It's like bragging you became made at the mafia and immediately became a FBI informant, you lose all the cool "epic underground hacker" shit and become basically a Indian IT guy with somehow worse BO and wearing a used Metallica t-shirt instead.

Real epic hacker shit is stealing 250 million dollars from a central bank like it happened here last week and not being caught doing it, not making sure Samantha, 53 at the DOE doesn't use cupcake123 for her administrator login or making sure a server's USB ports are disabled or some 101 opsec shit.

Ok, you're not getting what I'm saying.

He and another person did the writeups explaining how they got the defcon badges. Mald himself barely acknowledges that there were other people on the team when he repeatedly brings it up, let alone anything that anyone did. Just like how he brings up he worked at blizzard, but rarely even acknowledges that other employees existed especially coworkers. Normal people don't do that. You're focusing on one line of a post, take the entire thing in context. It's about a pattern of Mald's behavior.

That guy also was in the comments of that one liana k video about SKG. He does NOT seem to have all his ducks in a row.

point one about mr robot is just clearly a strawman against what people are actually criticising

point two is also a strawman hypothetical that ignores the alternative cost of owning nothing

point three about ross disparaging lawmakers is moot when mald is the one who says "involving government in anything causes it to turn into shit"

point four about good intentions is hilarious, because this guy acts like mald lying, deceiving and shitting on his audience and the wider internet is someone acting in good faith.

I dunno, at this point I feel like it's someone paid by mald to defend him, with the same shitty arguments that mald uses. In fact, that mrrobot argument in point one is what mald used to defend himself back in february when people were criticising him for it.

Edit: at this point, Mald would actually find it so much easier if he just said he fucked up and lied in the mr robot short, instead of getting his mods try their best to warp reality. But I guess not doing that is part of what makes him such a comprehensive lolcow

There's no fucking chance 9 articles in less than 3 weeks defending Mald isn't one of his employees, friends, or Mald himself.

this is so dank. He shows the potential routes but doesn't want to spoil anything? Make it make sense

He claims that a good portion of his audience are brazilians. He claims that they became his biggest fans because he turned on regional pricing for his heartbound game, acting like it's some ground breaking thing that no other publisher have thought of (or at least rarely use, which is bullshit, games not having regional pricing is the rare case in my experience) He even showcased fanarts of heartbound drawn by these brazilians.
He said his biggest stream audience is from Europe, hence why he stream on european time

It certainly sounds rigged. Under any sane rules, impersonating contest staff to gain advantage over other competitors would result in immediate disqualification and probably getting banned for life. Supposedly this wasn't against the rules, but what would happen to a team that told one of the officials to fuck off because they thought he was an impersonator? If the answer is disqualification, then the contest is intrinsically unfair, with the outcome being either random (decided by which teams manage to correctly guess who is and who isn't an actual contest official) or decided by favoritism (who the judges decide to disqualify and who they don't). I've always thought DEFCON was a big circlejerk, and this is doing nothing to change my mind.
 
So, the game currently just stops at chapter 3 with a cliffhanger?
Yes, but listen, Animus is 98% done, ok? Then the next one is a breeze. Chapter 4 is just direct combat. It's the dialogue that's hard for him. He's a master at combat. Then Chapter 5 will come later, as an extra. There will be a pre-order on Steam.
There's no fucking chance 9 articles in less than 3 weeks defending Mald isn't one of his employees, friends, or Mald himself.
This freak has been highlighted before, I'm more convinced he's just random garbage (didn't looked too far into it)

I am literally not disagreeing with anything you are writing, like at all. I was simply adding some information to what we know about what he did.
 
Is the hundreds/thousands of endings claim actually legit?
This is an easy marketing/hype claim, people used to write such articles about Baldur's Gate 3 too (a gajillion endings!)
To the layperson, a different ending/route will be a significantly different cutscene, but to a marketing shill it can be the difference between "is this NPC sprite present in the credits cutscene?"

With 14 yes/no choices that affect the ending you can already claim the game has 16 000 endings (2^14 = 16 384)

>"when is heartbound gonna come out?" *shows the spreadsheet, explaining how it's almost finished*
>"why i never update heartbound?" *shows patch notes on steam, explaining how people just trust everything they see on youtube*
>"why i lie about my work at blizzard?" *shows his linkedin, explaining how that's proof he isnt lying*
>"why i use a long array for everything?" *shows heartbound running on a fridge, explaining how a badly coded game couldnt do that*
>"why i dont respond to drama?" *shows LSF thread, calling them all psychopaths*
>*answers other random question as if he was an authority with some other window on screen*
>repeat without doing anything with his code

i wish there was an easy way to see how much he actually adds to his minecraft yaml document, because this whole thing repeats for hours every single day
