I'm just gonna drop this here, getting cooked in the comments.

It cracks me up how he dresses like his fursona in public

 

[Wise Mystical Tree]

I've been a tourist for some time now, but this overgrown malignant cell of a human being had to draw me in to finally create an account. With some shame I have to admit that he got me at first, maybe I can shirk away some responsibility by chucking it towards not paying enough attention or not having a reason to do so.

Once the whole SKG kerfuffle rolled around I had much more of a reason to pay attention to his entire persona, the amount of word salad that this glorified almanac of petty knowledge can regurgitate baffles even me, even for the most basic of concepts he has to take the most roundabout obtuse route to explain it.

The amount of glee I am experiencing due to him finally crashing out, over World of Warcraft nevertheless can't even be properly conveyed through words - personally I consider this to be the perfect community and point of his career to happen, wow tards will latch on to things for decades if given the chance and his popularity can't let him fade into obscurity either.

He can either go back to his dogshit unfinished mess of a game, which we know he won't do or keep getting dunked in Ashes of Creation as well. In any case I don't exactly have anything useful to add to the conversation so, apologies if I littered the thread.

Spoiler: Content

Took me a few days of scrolling to finally move through this entire thread, I appreciate all the work you magnificent tards put into it and it has helped me tremendously into understanding this troglodyte which we all, unfortunately share a planet with.

I don’t understand, genuinely, the point of Jason’s effort to save ferrets. They last at best five years. Hell I don’t even get why people would give cats or dogs insulin. You are dragging out the inevitable and likely making an animal suffer when that medicine could be best used elsewhere.

It’s okay to love your pet, but when you gotta let it go you got to accept it. It’s never fun, but cie la vie, it never will be.

It doesn't sound to me like he's really trying all that hard to save them, evidence and circumstances considering. He just wants to own a fuckton of ferrets.

Just at a passing glance, it kind of feels like those people who fill their homes with several cats at once. Can't possibly care for them all, but they still HAVE to have every cat they possibly can in the same space at the same time.

Pirate goes deep

That's the most retarded defense I've ever heard.
In fact it just validates both theories. Both that he learned to control his voice and how to deepthroat his mic.
If he was genuine and had any sort of real charisma he'd open up some dogshit microphone he got from wish and use it brand new to prove his voice is real or whatever.
What a fagwit.

PirateSoftware - A meme.. but the punchline was too good...

 

[unleashthefreak]

Mald's reasoning for using switch cases was that it gets converted into a jump because muh performance. In a slow paced narrative game, that IS retarded.

if it were some sort of real-time game, or a function that gets called in a critical portion of code and is harming frame-time, then sure, optimize it and let the compiler or interpreter convert the code into a jump

That's [not] what a "20 year game dev vet" does, hell, that's [not] what a 2 year game dev vet does.

One of the most basic things you learn about software optimization is "hot paths" vs"cold paths." He could add a thread sleep for >10ms before the switch statement and it would do nothing to the performance of the game because the code block (I pray) runs less than once per second.
If you proposed this in a coding interview, this is the kind of thing someone says fresh from the university. If you proposed this, and give the reasons he has, on any level above "entry", it is probably a NO HIRE alone.

The reason you use things like JSON or XML that can help you make narrative games, is because it offloads brain power

A "Catch 22" here is that if he is really a competent software developer, and we assume that the argument is sound, he could just write the dialog graph in JSON / etc and simply compile to a switch statement. But this would require a small amount of work / competence.
His argument is wrong, but even if we accept it, there is no excuse not to convert the JSON into a switch statement except incompetence.

>convert to JSON
impossible, Jason prefers to use Thor.

 

[Pennypacker]

I legit think the lack of mute is more to do with the narcissist in him than the stupidity.... Like he thinks he is so big that everyone including his guild mates needed to hear him talk to his stream, or as a reminder of how big and important he is.

Did no one in his guild ever tell him to STFU and mute when he was talking to his chat while streaming?

 

[ANightOwl]

Still lame that Primeagen associated himself so closely with Jason. He seemed mature enough to be able to smell Jason's weirdo personality.

I mean he basically stopped entirely. I think defcon put kind of a bad taste in prime's mouth vis a vis Maldy. They won a badge with a project that Jason basically contributed nothing to and prime took the classy road of just never including him in anything else ever again but not stirring up needless drama over it.

I'm not a regular Primeagen watcher but I recall him saying nothing but positive things about defcon and the challenge, giving credit to everyone on the team. I've convinced myself only children fall for Jason's shtick and his toxic personality is blindingly obvious to anyone with a bit of life experience. Despite this streamers, including Primeagen someone who I considered a mature professional, got involved with this weirdo.

I don't know if there's ever been such a case where a bunch of ecelebs all ganged up together to bully the weirdo nerd (who fucking deserves it). But they also invited him in instead of keeping him at arms length like a reasonable adult would. Poor decision making for all involved.

This is his next big think, I wonder what will happen.
These 2 fellate each other really hard tho so probably nothing.

I have a theory's on this:

90% chance they circle jerk each other how to make gaming spaces "safe"...
5% Maldi got offered a honorary developer status cuz the mere insight he just shared with a mortal dev who has not had 20 years of industry experience...
5% last minute cancel cuz Maldi dropped the balls and bailed out from playing AoC too...

Xokas reacts to Asmongold reacting to PS Roaching out
He says this:
"Absolutely incorrect"
"This, that Asmongold said, is absolutely incorrect and is of son of a bitch too" (Very bad take too)
"Very bad take, Asmongold"
"What you have to do there, as the mage, is not 'run' "
"Your team runs and you stay"
"Because you are the mage and, if you aren't able to have that fucking responsibility, don't play mage!"

Xokas is the spanish equivalent to Asmongold but he fixed his life and cleans his room

"As a mage you cannot run, your job is to help people run, your fucking job is to hit the fucking rank 1 nova and fucking rank 1 blizzard and save your team, bastard!. That's your fucking job, nova is 40 mana at level 1, bastard! Piece of shit rat! How disgustingl... How can you do that to a fucking level 60 party ?"

Was looking around on LSF and at the moment they are all about him looking up guides, while playing Animal Well and Outer Wilds and acting like his giga brain solved stuff out of nowhere.

And then one redditor had a great thought. Karl Jobst should make a video about his "blind" playthroughs. Without exaggeration a million views possible.

 

[The Tall Man]

To me, it seems strange how so many people who look at Mald aren't immediately put off.

Then again, I first came across him during the StopKillingGames (consider signing if you are a Brit or EU fag) controversy, and it’s much easier to take a critical view of someone who holds such a blatantly immoral stance.

Once you learn that he’s a SL furry and has a pooner gf, it’s clear he’s someone to avoid.
Some people simply choose to sacrifice their instincts and common sense at the altar of diversity.

 

[Homocull]

I don’t understand, genuinely, the point of Jason’s effort to save ferrets.

Does this help?

Outer Wilds

ex fucking cuse me
he looked up a guide to outer wilds?
that game is like the very fucking definition of journey not destination
that moment where everything clicks is one of the most rewarding gaming experiences i ever had

I've always been of the opinion he had voice coaching similar to Elizabeth Holmes, another fraudster, that helps you maintain a similar deep voice. She even had very similar slip ups like his where she'd go into her more high pitched voice, and used her deeper voice to appear as more of an authority.

Are we sure Maldy isn't just Elizabeth Holmes poonering out?

...Then again, I first came across him during the StopKillingGames (consider signing if you are a Brit or EU fag) controversy, and it’s much easier to take a critical view of someone who holds such a blatantly immoral stance...

Its not immoral just typical American burger burping into EU matters... We speaking of a culture where borderline predatory practices were socialy accepted like tipping is mandatory, and expected and if someone refuses to participate the courier legit trowing a temper tantrum. So not far fetched those who socialized in this culture see thing in a dogshit way regarding consumer protection...
