I would've understood things like 29th February, DLST, new year and leap year, but September 2nd?If you're wondering how competent Mald is as a gamedev… (this is about Heartbound)
ANY public announcement on ANY public Discord server will ALWAYS get troon flag reacts.
It's even worse when you look up for Palestinian flags or Ukrainian ones.
Love his channel. Jason could certainly do with his advice about professionalism, especially since he's already taken people's money for his game
The first law of Discord. Lammy’s Law.
This isn't just him, but I think Earthbound exists for three types of people; the first are the most honest, they just never played it. The second are people who have played it and enjoyed it. The third are tourists who say "Oh yeah, Earthbound" while playing it very little or not at all; and Jason falls into this category. If you were to creatively ask him what was his favorite thing / what he named Ness's unique PSI, he couldn't tell you, couldn't tell you how many Starmen he had to defeat for Poo's sole weapon, or if he even tried for the Gutsy Bat. He can tell you the towns are made with numerical references, there's the Run Away Five, and Paula's Prayer is how you defeat the final boss, who by the way is symbolic of an abortion from some childhood trauma from the head dev. You ask for a specific meaningful or memorable part or anything, he couldn't tell you; nor could like 90% of the Internet denizens who cite Earthbound. It was unique and quirky for its time, just like every wannabe online personality you've ever seen, ever.
There's no complex reasoning behind putting emotes under people's messages on discord. I used to put gay/tranny flags under mod messages because I consider most of them faggots but now it's just a habit. Same goes for writing nigger with emotions, it's just funny.
Yes, Jason needs everyone to know about the retarded minuscule events that happen in his life every few hours. Don't you know it's peak professionalism to inform all your fans about some bug none of them would have ever encountered by pinging them in your fan discord? Gotta show how professional this 20 year industry veteran is!
Is Earthbound actually worth playing? I tried playing as a kid and I couldn't even get past the first part where you have to go up to the mountain because the path was blocked off. Nowadays I'm probably far less retarded, so I've been going through games from the past that I really should play (Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, GTA IV and San Andreas, Symphony of the Night, Persona 3, Phoenix Wright, THPS, Ocarina of Time, and more) and a lot of them have been quite good, better than a lot of games of today.
I liked it, but it's ok if it doesn't grab you. It's a game made by it's charm and style, and has a decent battle system with some funny moments. Great soundtrack. Try it if you like a dose of silly in your RPGs, it isn't too hard and the game guide came with the cartridge so don't feel shame about looking stuff up.
This is 100% made on purpose to write this post. There was no bug, it was if(date...) { throw new Exception() }
The "oh we thought that was a *clan name here* problem" bit sounds like the devs thought that the clan was fucking retarded and ignored all of their reports.
also definitely sounds like they were up to some no good shit, the way he talks about exploits and making MILLIONS on a section of space that ONLY they could access.
