Wow, I am so tech illiterate. I didn't even know this was a thing. Why change your fucking voice to sound deeper if you're already an adult?

Theres a lot of tech out there.

It was poster earlier too, but his voice "uber deepened" in the span of a single week. Literally 1 video was him sounding like nasally carl from jimmy neutron, next week sounded like the "deep voice chad" hes going for.

There was also a clip somewhere of his voice going high pitch on stream followed by "oh god damnit"

She just lowered her voice(which sounded ridiculous) because stupid people think deeper voice and a thesaurus makes someone a genius.

In a way I get it I guess if you've got a super gay voice, but fuck. Shit just reeks of super low self esteem.

The voice is clearly bass boosted by one semitone, it's clear since another kiwi showed the audio. I see no issue if someone decides to touch up their voice however, the clear insecurity about it is fucking funny.

Sure, but it's also part of running a con which is entirely what Elizabeth Holmes was doing, screwing people out of millions of dollars. Mald effectively does the same thing, it just makes him sound better to morons that he grifts for a couple bucks at a time by the thousand. At least in Elizabeth's case, she didn't want to sound like a kid for her grift so there's more logic to be found there. With Mald, it's just him wanting to sound like the old wise man on the mountain to a bunch of 15-25 year olds.
 
I mean I'm just saying said:
I think people playing Heartbound on stream and laughing at how shit it is will be a great genre that'll really get under Jason's skin;

I think not. Nothing he's done seem to me like a passion project you can hurt him with, everything is more a deliberate effort to grift off of people using various tricks, and I'm convinced Heartbound was planned from the start to be a low effort low cost Undertale knockoff to profit from the hype and the desire of people for more games like that.
 
Why does he not say that he wrote the code so that it's human readable? I don't get it. It's just an array of game state variables right?

What are you referencing? Does he tout his code as something special?

Edit: I deserve the late reactions, I should look more into this myself

Jason has a huge ass array storing the games state in it. At some point he justifies this with an ARG, that requires his code to be easily readable / reverse-engineerable. I don't know how that works and if a better maintained code base really would have defeated whatever stunt he tried to pull off, but I don't believe him anyway and think he just needed an excuse for his bad code.

Gotcha. Thanks for the catch up!

A professional's definition of human readable code would be very different, this is sort of like a cave man's definition of human readable

As a narcissist myself I can't think of any way to justify how terrible his massive array is; the performance cope is just cause it is the most understandable by an unprofessional and therefore the most believable lie he can tell his audience.

Because Mald's code is very hard to read and runs like shit lol. The save data structure is just a poor example of it. The Coding Jesus video showed his stuff after getting run through a decompiler, but even accounting for the information lost with that method of code review it still looks bad.

Iirc the main complaints were:
1. Mald's solution for adding lighting to sprites was really bad for performance, with good evidence as to why and the right way to do it with comparisons. Exponential performance drain with more light sources in scene.
2. In general it doesn't look like he revisits any of his code ever so long as it works? There's a switch statement with only the default case, so it's clear he removed the other options at some point. Also a bunch of other code (especially in his lighting solution) that is really hard to read and could be simplified down for both readability and performance.
3. There is a 2D array for tracking dialogue state. IMO this was the weakest point in the video because the main complaints were that it would be hard to scale up or just be generally cumbersome to account for in other scripts. I would personally cut Mald some slack with this one. It just looks like an unconventional solution that still could work, as opposed to the 2D Lighting Threadkiller that can only draw left and right gradients.

It's not YandereDev bad, but still not very good. Also this may have been mentioned earlier, but he's so smug about writing DRM into the game by checking for Steam achievements, which ended up getting the game cracked immediately by running it through a Steam emulator.
 
If this guy hadn't kept aggressively popping up in my recommendation feeds across all platforms with Andrew Tate levels of spam a couple months ago I wouldn't give a flying fuck about him. For a self-proclaimed pro hacker and game dev he never seemed to do all that much hacking or developing, nevermind actually giving useful advice to people who donated to his streams with these hopes.

Glad to see Jason spiral deeper and deeper into the abyss of retardation - at least now he has become someone worth following, let it be just for them lolz.

More Quintheo coverage, interviews Level 5 Fish as well, touches on the smart fridge.

Edit: He discusses the theory, based on the video footage, that it's not on the smart fridge (I might be late on this theory, I didn't pick up on this potential, I don't care about smart fridges), and just being mirrored and that the display is only being used for controls and the mirroring.

So if it comes out that the guy never ran it on the smart fridge's own hardware.... We got fresh milk.
