That is one of the most retarded takes I've ever heard. If there's no frame limiter on some games, the hardware can fail, this is a clear software issue causing hardware failure.
In the modern era it is the operating system's responsibility to ensure that the garbage other people write does not damage the computer. But also at the same time with modern hardware the hardware should also avoid bricking themselves based off commands from the operating system.
In this specific case there were graphics cards whose power circuit was not up to spec. It is wrong to attribute blame to the game as the user is using faulty hardware without drivers / firmware to work around this problem.

That being said, the generalization "hardware can not fail from software", is not true. This is merely a goal that the industry tries to make happen. There are financial incentives around not bricking people's computers that incentivize companies to invest towards this goal, but people make mistakes and failures can happen. Saying things like "The hardware is failing. You can not blame the software for that", is missing the point of how consumers think. Consumers don't care whose fault it really is and it looks bad for all the parties involved.

I disagree that the take is retarded, but his defense of it is out of touch with reality.
 
No coding on stream anymore, even more mmo streams, but ALSO monthly heartbound releases?
Yeah, Jason's now paying someone else to fix his mess.
Jason became popular because he's a chat-oriented streamer. You can't be a chat-oriented streamer while doing serious coding. The best you can do is narrate yourself in kinda a trance state. Sure you can drag and drop little sprites around your GameMaker UI but you can only get so far doing that (maybe, you can probably get pretty far in GameMaker writing almost no code).

What do I know, I've only looked at his stream in brief glimpses but it's always him talking or poking around in the editor.
 
This must be the first video about this drama in Russian.
No new information, though.
The shadow programmer he's hiring to finish his game is probably russian too. His audience is the type to sperg about russians existing (muh ukraine) and he placates them with "you dont choose where you're born" so he has a sizable russian fans. He also has a chunk of brazillian simps because of his regional pricing sphiel. Baffling why BOTH him and his audience are acting like he's one of the pioneers of regional pricing on steam. It has been around for many years and people have been using steamdb for comparing prices long before I saw this faggot.

Edit: To clarify, in one of his topic that he likes to repeat over and over, he'd mention regional pricing and then show how he's pricing heartbound way lower in regions like brazil because of their purchasing power and the brazillians in his chat would get excited that brazil is mentioned and then both mald and the brazillians would fellate each other as if no other devs had a similar strategy of pricing their games substantially lower than usa/eu. Which is nonsensical unless you've only been looking at prices of EA games or other AAA games or something. This is also usually where his taco index comes up (purchasing power talk).

He deleted the source. I had it open in a tab from yesterday and never got around to watching it. GJ archiving it beforehand.
Wow good job Maldy

Jason answers a chatter's question: "When do you plan finishing [Heartbound's] development?"
Hang the fuck on.

Did he just misgender his pooner gf? At 0:32?

Now that Shaye is actually less busy as well, it's gonna be easier for Shaye to build this kind of stuff too, 'cuz SHE has a day job.

Also, it's impossible for me not to think of this clip as implicitly acknowledging that he was not working on heartbound at all for the past year.

Back in good old days uninstalling a game could cause your OS to self-destruct... It was Myth or Pool of Radiance 2. Or both.

nope he is trans (MtF) but goes by he/him pronouns. its in his twitter bio and older accounts too.

edit: I am a wrong sandnigger and should be beheaded and fed to the crows, please check this https://kiwifarms.net/threads/jason...wich-witness-x-potatosec.197757/post-20363240

I thought it was FtM, but nonetheless, if it goes by he/him, wouldn't you expect your boyfriend to try to respect these pronouns?
shit my bad, I thought he said "shaye has a day job" but I guess he said "she has a day job" so yeah, mispronouned i guess. ()

edit: okay I'll just take the L so I don't misinform anyone, because now I am confused, I thought he was MtF because he had a picture with a dress and long hair (Check OP).
then I realized that it was old, and new in newer pics he wears boy stuff and has shorter hair. his voice is higher too. so i guess i am that kinda amnesic sandnigger that confuses timelines. I am not good with trans stuff sorry.

TL,DR: Sandnigger misgenders pooner TWICE and gets away with it.
