Jason at this point has morphed into something I've had a lot of navelgazing about - he's essentially, at this point, in a place where the PR maintaining his grift and facade is as much or more a full-time job as it would be merely doing the things he claims to be able to do. If you build a fake persona to skip the line, but end up doing as much or more work as it would merely earning those credentials anyways, how worth it is it, really?

For most humans, development means gradually drifting towards some nearby local maximum for physical and psychological satisfaction, and they can't reason and commit their way out of it. This is also why fat people stay fat.
 
I haven't done any research, shame on me, but the fridge video always smelled like a super intentional artificial thing rather than "the community came together and solved challenges and did this fun thing together".
Not fully fake but kinda fake promo video vibes.
 
Jason will be streaming on his birthday this Thursday, and he won't stream on Wednesday 16th, The Promised Day.
Meaning, the aftermath of another low quality patch release, or even better another delay, will be faced live.

Edit: istg he's peak malding, it's been like 30 minutes of fighting with chat

It's worth mentioning that anything can run "on a fridge" if you use cloud streaming (https://x.com/Andy_VGC/status/1315920909442658305), and although I haven't seen the famous fridge video, I doubt it shows proof that it's actually running on device.
 
He could make a stream where he superhacks a fridge, a smartwatch and an amazon ring doorbell to play shartbound but that would come dangerously close to being content, would take from his 14 hours of fighting chat and might need some minor coding chops to do.

Welcome to the maldstream timeline bud, nothing but seethe left in here.

Bets on blizzdad sending a message? I'm putting $20 on no.
 
Just saw this on my yt recommended page. There's some incredibly funny about how this guy gamed the algorithm to build his career and now the same algorithm is supplying slop tuber videos dunking on him en masse.


Fuck these lazy thumbnails

he's doing per pixel lighting on the cpu and "code jesus" suggests a.... different algorithm for doing per pixel lighting on the cpu [DISREGARD THIS I SUCK COCKS] nigga you have a whole device specifically designed for doing per-pixel math it's called the fucking GPU and game maker has built in support for shaders!

It seems to be done on the GPU: https://github.com/Level5Fish/pirat...ripts/scr_good_lighting/scr_good_lighting.gml

Not that it matters much, blending such small textures is not a problem for a modern CPU.
 
It also occurred to me that all this configuration file thing he's been doing non-stop is very much what you could get done in 15 minutes with any decent LLM.

Just watched it.

The interesting part is the first third. They focus on Jason's "special" lighting code and how inefficient it is. And its true.

But what makes it funny is that I'm sure someone here posted a clip where Jason specifically jerks himself off while claiming how great his "lighting system" is.

Or maybe its Mandela effect on my part...

It's real but I can't seem to find it right now. He showed it off and talked about how he wrote it himself.

I've known people like this that I know for a fucking fact are competent enough to just drum up a quick shell script to automate a repetitive task, but they do it manually because it takes up more time and makes it look like they're doing work while they effectively zone out while listening to podcasts or some shit. First time I've seen this behavior on a stream before though... he doesn't have a boss he needs to fool anymore, but I guess old habits die hard.

Every text editor worth a damn supports macros or has some sort of pattern-matching find and replace. He's just bad at using his tools like he's bad at everything else he does.

It's all moot.

He really is malding so bad, he stopped everything to ban people again. He did that earlier when I tuned in. Someone asked about it and he said it's better to "deal with them now" and that "this is fatherless behavior."

There are always good messages buried in there.

I've left it up for over 10 minutes now and he hasn't touched anything on his screen. Someone asked "How many lines of code written today" and Mald said "None." and that he's been fixing the blockgame economy by editing the config file and that it's taken him 12 hours. I'm sure mindlessly editing the config file one character at a time is the best way to go about that.

Mald got upset at someone asking about changing how the game lighting works, probably because of Code Jesus' recent video, and Mald played the fridge video again and brags that he wrote the game framework 8 years ago and says he only has to write dialogue now.

Then he ended the stream and instantly privated everything.

Edit: Unfortunately I only happened to pull the audio today for some reason 🤦.
I will upload the transcription soon but no video sadly, hopefully someone recovers the vod

unless you watched some other video I have no idea how you came to that conclusion, it’s just a blank canvas in VRAM you can draw to. Read the docs on surfaces. You kinda just set it once and forget about it unless the screen gets resized or you need to draw to it.

When he made a video a long time ago talking about his amazing lighting system I figured he was just using surfaces. What he’s doing isn’t even really ray tracing. It’s only moving from side to side and creating a fake gradient. What he’s doing with his code could be accomplished with a simple sprite with an alpha
