All those reviews read like they were written by middle aged PR woman who never played games in her life.

That's not a review. That's poorly written marketing pitch.

EDIT; I found gameplay video. IDK if anyone posted one before but it really looks like a game made during gamejam by people who are just beginning their journey with game making.
Holy fuck, THATS HIS RELEASED GAME?
I checked steam he's charging 3 bucks for it... So its not the worst thing imaginable but still damn.

Damn man. I think you can find better games in the 5 dollar bin that give your kids more than 2 hours.

That's why I'm convinced his "friends" like ThePrimeagen aren't actually looking into what he knows, they're just impressed with how well mald talks.
I call it the resume syndrome. Even if you're not lying or embellishing the truth; so wow, okay, you did 10+ years at Blizzard as an Offensive Security Specialist, moved onto Amazon Game Studios where you were a python (big fucking LOL) programmer, and then went on to work for the US Government to pen test power plants. No lie, on paper, that's pretty impressive. Then you see how he codes or that his skillset is probably talking his way through things, which isn't a bad thing, I'll even say it's a good thing because you need smooth-talkers and what-not to talk to people for the turbo autists in IT. But if/when you're up for a tech/skill heavy position, you realize most of his work was talking his way and not technically hacking his way through things; which would ideally be something that gets fleshed out in an interview. It doesn't help that if you're telling a war story, you don't even have to put yourself in the position of the person who did something smart/clever; you just "Oh yeah, so we were doing X and we were having trouble, but then homeboy pulled a whatever." Oh shit man, you really were in the thick of it weren't you; while he was really just standing there waiting for someone to open the door so he could piggy back through with them.
 
Probably reaching here but something I found interesting that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet about this video.

This video is from 2017. You can see his pooner gf in the background (she is credited as the main artist in shartbound, hence her being there for the game stand). This was 7 years ago. She is 25 now, that would make her 18 at the time of the video. We can deduce from her DA that her birthday is January 13th. In the video mald says they've been working on shartbound for ~6 months at that point.

How likely do we think it is that he met her when she was a minor? Moreover, what are the implications of this considering he divorced someone for the pooner?
 
Is he this fucking stupid or is he just brazen?
I believe elsewhere in this thread was a screenshot from the "anti-piracy" measure in Heartbound which references Maldavius Figtree directly. It's clear that much like the pizzagate niggas he loves "hiding in plain sight". It was fake, see a few posts down.
"There's like an anti-fanbase out there"
I know you're here Mald, I recommend you to call out Kiwi Farms directly. Just think for a moment, imagine how funny it would be. You know you want to.

This fat fuck really wants us to believe his voice dropped a full octave since then? Your voice doesn't just change in your 30s. I can't believe zoomers really fall for this second puberty nonsense. If anything your T will fall off immensely later in life. The only possible explanation is that he's taking his pooner gf's T if he's claiming "second puberty".

Since the Venn diagram of Mald fans and fatherless boys is a pair of concentric circles, they will have absolutely zero frame of reference for either the behaviour or physiology of men in their 30s. He could claim anything at all and they'll gobble it up.

Shaye currently claims to be 28 years old on her active Twitter account, not 25. This would make her birthday January 13th, 1996.

Shaye made her Second Life account on January 25, 2016, which would make her 20 at the time. Sadly, I don't think this lead will go anywhere.
 
I never looked into it since "omg so quirky yet so deep metaphorically" games isn't my thing but heartbound is a short rpg with about 2 hours play time for each play through and there's 'thousands' of endings but the save system is through achievements?

It has a SAVE system tied to achievements, not unlocks right? A roguelite that checks your achievements to check which unlocks you should have when you boot the game seems normal...but on a story rpg? Does that mean the achievement is just a save of what endings you unlocked? You have to play through each route in one go? What happens if you only want to play for like 45 mins and want to close the game there?
I rummaged around the save and load scripts, all that they do is save the world save the world seed (random number assigned when a game is started), the name of the room, the x and y position of the character, his max and current HP and the Language youre supposed to be playing with, as well as the lenght of the story array, because Mald-avius saves the story progress, in a global array.
No callbacks to steam backend in either load or save game.
First Image is the load game script, second is the save game script.

Ill zip up my post, seems like the SL account hadn't been updated in a while in that case or maybe a mod can snip out the part of me hallucinating her age (seems like I can't edit it anymore), don't wanna give mald any fuel about potential "misinformation"
 
Hear that? That's the sound of pressure slowly building up. It seems Maldy is starting to preemptively run damage control.

Also don't know if this was already posted but look who it is is in the comment section of the video.

I don't keep track of a lot of lolcows but this guy uses the same "that's so funny (and weird)" cope that rekieta does too. Is it a common trait among other lolcows or just some specific ones (that happens to be at least 2 among the handful I'm somewhat keeping track of)

This vid is 7 years old but his streamer award speech voice (that happened earlier this year) is MUCH MUCH closer to this 7 year old vid than to his stream voice. IIRC every time he has to show up somewhere, he stops streaming for longer than the event days so he might be resting his voice cause he's tired from forcing himself to try and sound deeper than he actually is :story:

If anything your T will fall off immensely later in life
The changes to voice caused by T are usually not reversible. Hence why you see trannies pumped up on estrogen growing tits and all but still having a 100% male voice. When a tranny actually does sound like a female, it is the result of actively training it, basically learning to do a female voice impression and doing it so often that it becomes the default. I suspect that is what Jason did but in reverse, his voice really did change but it wasn't a "second puberty" it was him watching tutorials and practicing in front of a mirror to learn how to impersonate a masculine voice, while also using the most flattering microphone settings. This would explain why when he is recorded in public his voice is still much deeper than it used to be, but still not as deep as on stream. I've seen some other streamers and such naturally develop more of a "presenter voice" over the years, but it was never even close to this dramatic

The other explanation would be his testosterone levels increased, and from what I can gather that's not really guaranteed to deepen the voice in men who already went through puberty, so I doubt he would for instance take steroids expressly for this purpose. I'm sure there are some medical ways that the testosterone could've spiked, but him deliberately 'voicemaxxing' seems more likely to me given Jason's personality
 
That was me fucking with the game's dialogue for a laugh, sorry for the confusion.

Pointed out earlier on the thread, but this sounds like the voice filter failing https://youtube.com/shorts/TFRB6yx8ASc?si=Ck_qO4V3nmTnZD5u
Well, now we know what he sounds like when he's not trying suck off his mic. That, and the fact that he doesn't cut his own shorts, which isn't surprising, but you'd think the paid jannies would be better at their job.

testosterone
I'm no expert, but a quick search shows that even if he was to pump himself full of testosterone, it'd take months to years to (maybe) change his voice from soyfaggot to soy-filled-tranny-RadioMan, so it's more likely to be the mic eating+some filtering (although I have my doubts about Mald being able to EQ his audio properly)+trying to impersonate Elizabeth Holmes.

Testosterone Voice Change Timeline​


Based on the provided information, here is a summary of the expected timeline for voice changes due to testosterone therapy:
  • Initial changes: Within a few weeks of starting testosterone therapy, individuals may experience a scratchy sensation in the throat or feel hoarse. This is an early indication of vocal cord thickening.
  • Voice deepening: The average time for a trans man’s voice to transition from a deep woman’s voice to a more male-sounding voice is around 4 months. However, this timeframe can vary significantly from person to person.
  • Vocal cord thickening: As testosterone levels increase, the vocal cords will continue to thicken, leading to a more profound voice deepening. This process may take 2 or more years to reach its final result.
  • Individual variability: Keep in mind that testosterone works differently for everyone, and some individuals may experience more rapid or gradual voice changes. Additionally, not all trans men will experience a full deepening of their voice pitch with testosterone.
It’s essential to note that these timelines are general estimates and may vary depending on individual factors, such as diet, exercise, and genetics. Some individuals may also choose to work with a speech therapist to develop a more comfortable and fitting voice.

Looks like mald has a second abandoned game: Kill The Moon (steamdb)
ktm_steam.png


It has received 0 updates since 2019, but he will update the steam page occasionally, even as recent as September.

Sometime in 2020, one of his mods made a reddit post (archive) stating that development would be on hold until heartbound releases (never) as "Pirate Software is working on one thing at a time"
ktm_janny.png

If that were the case maybe he should quit the minecraft plugin config streams and work on his "passion project"
 
Fuck it, I decided to go back to his old videos to see when the pivot point is.

This clip is dated May 11th, 2019, "GameDev Builds a Chair" (Full video is 40 minutes), Archive on PreserveTube

EDIT: Forgot this clip, also uploaded May 16th, 2019

Now, only a few days later (EDIT: Same day as the previous clip), you can hear some pretty clear variations in the voice, May 16th, 2019

And, again, three days later, the voice sounds deep. May 19th, 2019

I'm not saying his voice in the last clip is perfectly 1:1 to today, nor that these clips are timestamped correctly, but as far as what's on his channel, this is the shortest period of time with the most gap in pitch. There's a huge gap in content afterwards, and the next video with him in it (the omori playthrough) has the deep voice.
Interestingly enough, according to the overlay, the last clip is before the third clip. Make of that what you will.


Another thing, which, while misc, is interesting, is that the one and only fight in heartbound was complete in September 2017.
