Sold on this grand vision, you buy the car on the spot, eager to start your magical journey. But as soon as you turn the key, you realize—it's a manual, and you don’t know how to drive stick.

That's how Thor sells misleads you on game design.

Great analogy, if only Jason was as concise!

So like I've seen this dude pop up all over Youtube for a while now and I still don't understand why.

Is it just cause he's a furfag so those types are giving him a push up the algorithm or what?

He figuratively hacked the algorithm. He realized if he unchecked a box that said recommend shorts to subscribers his shorts would be sent to new people each time.

To elaborate on this, Asmon is what really pushed him into the stratosphere and he likely pulled a lot of his viewers from Asmon's audience. On October 27th, he had 12.3k subs and was growing a few hundred subs a week. However by the end of the next week on November 6th, his channel had 23k subs as he started to hit the algorithm on November 5th.

The next week was where it really kicked off as by November 12th, he had 395k subs. This is because Asmon's viewers sent Asmon some of Jason's clips to watch, which showcased Jason to Asmon's usual 30k viewers on stream and then his editor put out two clips about Asmon reacting to Jason's shorts.

November 8th, 2023 Clip (preservetube):

Asmon's clips channel usually pulls in 500k views within the first 1-2 days. Seeing as how a lot of Asmon's audience are scorned Blizzard fans, they were eager to watch more of Jason's content because he talks about his time working at Blizzard like he's one of the "good devs they miss". Combine this with him shit talking Blizzard as a whole, which they love to hear about, and suddenly he's got a huge audience that quickly picked him up.

So he was definitely growing fast because of youtube shorts but Asmon added A LOT of fuel to Jason's rocket ship.

Now that you mention it, he has a 24/7 livestream of his ferret rescue that someone might like to comb through if they have the time.

Ferrets cant survive in California heat. They dont regulate their own body heat.

November 6th, 2023 Clip

I do think this was the first clip I saw of him too..
My hate for blizzard probably removed my skepticism, but looking back at that? This is total bullshit. I bet he can't get anyone from blizzard to corroborate this.

 

[Kheapathic]

I bet he can't get anyone from blizzard to corroborate this.

The bigger issue I see, is while he is credited in older games (as family and children are now a days); outside of having a voice in the OG WoW; he didn't start at Blizzard until post Lich King. He may have had some insight on being a child whose dad was part of the original team; but he didn't know the old Blizzard, shit was already bad and getting worse by the time he was blessed to officially be part of the team.

November 6th, 2023 Clip (preservetube):

It's clear that he's not the most incompetent retard but I absolutely hate how he always makes it sound like he's the really cool guy in every story. It always feels like he's insecure about how much he was actually responsible for. The voice changer doesn't help

I would bet money that him standing up righteously to the higher-ups is just another one of Mald's lies.

 

[Malfeasant]

It always feels like he's insecure about how much he was actually responsible for.

This pretty much sums up his entire youtube persona. Every story is him being the epic l33t haxor guy who totally owned everybody in the room with his amazing social engineering skills or being the guy who wrote the most EPIC line of code and made his game the best ever. It all just comes off as super insecure and just him grasping at anything to try and validate his identity as "one of the good ones" at Blizzard when in reality he's maybe only 2% more competent than YanDev.

malding fagtree couldn't survive in the heat either. air conditioning is a modern miracle.

 

[no-exit]

I just think it's weird that a guy who defends DRM decided to call his company "Pirate Software." I saw his channel show up a few times and thought it would be like a based pro-piracy youtuber, what a disappointment when I see the estrionic soyjakian mug.

That's could be why he named it Pirate Software. If someone looks up how to pirate video games, his channel might show up.

More SEO gaming likely given we live in an age of "I'm not giving these fags money" piracy motivation.

might show up

There's either another youtube short about it or he just talked on some streams about it, can't find either, but he did talk like "people come in with piracy requests on the server, what retards, we made a special channel for them, they don't get to view anything else on the server except that channel" and of course everyone laughs and claps. Can't find it tho.
There is a "piracy-requests" channel on the server:

his amazing social engineering skills

Bro is a gooner furry faggot. He has zero social engineering skills, because he has zero social skills. Just look at him interact with any normal human being, ever. So anyway, this is the funniest part for me, in all of his stories.

This is one of the few instances where I'm willing to give Jason the benefit of the doubt. I believe Jason is actually pretty skilled at social engineering. He's pretty good at talking lying, all of his statements fall apart when you really start digging.

It'd be really stupid to release the names. Cultivating an atmosphere of fear around failing a security audit will guarantee people don't self-report real security incidents. "Damned if you do, damned if you don't", why would they risk their job? So now by the time you find out your network is compromised, you're mega fucked. Either way, whether he released the names or not, Activision Blizzard decided to gut the majority of those positions anyway, so I guess the senior management had the last laugh.

Where Jason really fucked up was being the all-too-eager guy to conduct phone-based social engineering attacks. I guarantee his anonymity was not kept secret by that senior manager. Everyone hates the auditor, and whether Jason knew it or not, this probably turned a lot of coworkers against him.

So I finally had some time to peek over the code of Heartbound and you guys are not going to believe this.





So anyways I have no idea if this is against some rule or something so mod me however you like, but here is my first lazy attempt at a functional ""playable"" Heartbound.

[I've Seen Some More Shit]

I believe Jason is actually pretty skilled at social engineering

This is his only actual skill. He can talk his way out of or into things. That's it. It's why his credits as an "ebin l33t haxor" are all social engineering-related if it's not something a teammate did instead. All of his discussed tactics specifically target behaviors (blocking autowalk paths that bots use, using banwaves instead of individual bans to avoid revealing what outed them, convincing employees to give away confidential info, following them to where they're having lunch, lying about being part of DEFCON so he could get unique information other participants got, etc).
Because he's not really a hacker, he's just a scam artist which is a skill easily misinterpreted as hacking to the point of association. It's like a porch pirate telling you they're great at bank robberies. Sure, you can get an equivalent end result - stolen goods - but the scale, method, and means are all completely different and ultimately incongruous. You think if he could actually do half the shit the people he associates with do he'd be anti-piracy, pro-"as a service," and sucking corporate cock for fucking free? Hell no!
He knows it too, that's why he markets to kids who don't know it and just see all of the flashy techbro cargo cult shit like a stenography password or how his Flipper Zero is a totally lethal weapon. because if he looks like an ebin l33t haxxor to them, then he'll be seen as one by the greater community. You won't see him flex like that around people who actually give enough of a shit to call him out. Bet you he was real fucking demure in any team discussions at DEFCON.

China Gacha Proposed Changes​

Pay no attention to him playing ZZZ, a gacha game, last month. This guy is all money over morals.

 

[俺たちファームズでノッテる]

I'm thinking of calculating the amount of time Thor has actually spent working on Heartbound during his streams. To be precise, we could exclude the times he answers his super chats using his 'totally original and completely proprietary' queue system. Just in the last 3-4 streams, including the current one (assuming he streams for the full stated time), there’s a total of 65 hours ( by my very rough calculation) of streaming where he hasn't worked on the game he said would be released in 2017. This is only from the most recent streams, where he’s mostly been streaming WoW raids. But since this guy has been streaming for a long while, I'd be very curious to see the full amount of time given all of these years of streaming. Plus I don't just trust what he states he does off-camera.
