Guess who caught up on GameMaker tutorials to basically the state that Heartbound is in...

View attachment 6993577

Note that this is not the game he is making but the snippets he made from the tutorials he uses. It has a quest with dialogue, pickup/throw items, drops, fighting a blobb and health working.

Once he starts putting the concept for his game into practice it might instantly be more game than Heartbound.

This genuinely looks much better than ShartBound too, with no RTX bullshit or anything. The perks of not having a colorblind pooner as your artist, I guess.

It's not even his game bro. The Game Maker tutorial assets look better.

2025 join dates; take notes. This is how you too can become one of the most based posters on the site.

I've always wondered why people donate to huge streamers. Smaller streamers, sure, you get that sort of parasocial kick out of doing that since they'll actually notice you, as dumb as it is to pay for attention. But with streamers as large and egotistical like Malding Faggotree, you go from "nobody" to "nobody in yellow". I don't know which part is worse, these streamers crying "woe is me" for donations, or the fact that it works so well.

I wonder if this trend will ever die of people giving subscriber money to these people. My guess is probably not, but whatever. If retards want to waste their money, I aint going to stop them. (Also appreciate the ego boost).

"Somethings not quite right" - Me looking at these stats again.

What bewilders me the most out of all these numbers is the amount of gifted subs over a number of these months, they're comparatively much higher and outside the norm than nearly any other streamer that I've looked at. I'm not sure if any Mald loremasters can fill in the blanks for the below months but his averages and peaks are incredible. Better than nearly everyone around him in comparison.

1. Sept 2024 - 37,405
2. Jul-2024 - 15,768
3. Apr-2024 - 55,387

I'm not in a position to do archiving right this second, but look at some other comparitive streamers.

1. https://twitchtracker.com/ironmouse/subscribers - Tracks around 2,000 a month
2. https://twitchtracker.com/forsen/subscribers -Around a 1,000 a month
3. https://twitchtracker.com/hasanabi/subscribers - EVEN HASAN CAN'T BEAT HIM

I must be missing some deep context here, but the amount of money that his making is absloutely absurd in some of these months.

I must be missing some deep context here,

No.3 would be his April Hype Train, the one where he set a record for having the most donated bits on Twitch for. People threw subs at him like crazy for that event. No.1 the September one I think could be either another Hype Train attempt or something to do with TwitchCon maybe, that was in September 2024 and here was there. There is a video of the ferrets posted early September 2024, people could have donated subs to him there because he revealed the ferret rescue.
Mald is averaging 15k - 25k T1 subs per month. There's one more discrepancy in December 2024, where he had 39k T1 subs that month. My guess would be another failed Hype Train event because of Vidal, the AI Vtuber eventually took that record on the 7th of Janurary, 2025. Vidal may have posted a link or something saying they were going to try for it in the new year but I could be wrong.

The cult of personality.
His followers genuinely believe they are joining in the process of creating something magical. That means foregoing their own health and well being to aid him in accomplishing, 'the heckin wholesome future'.
I've seen this stuff before with cults and its depressing. People will get so much credit card debt just because they believe in the snake oil message they've sold.
People's desire to be a part of something big can lead to some terrible decision making.
E: typos

 

[ClownWare]

What you're missing is that Mald funnels money from the donations\subs\ads to boost his own ego subcount each month. Two years ago (4 dec 2022) he posted short where he admits that.

He bought 200 subs witch is almost 30% of his 2022 december subs. And given the explosive growth of subscribers in 2022, it is likely that he started doing this even earlier.

I don't get the whole blue light hurting your eyes thing. It's just a color and the only reason it has any effect on us is because it tricks our body into thinking we're getting the best source of blue light around.

anecdotal on my part but there was this dude that complained he cvouldnt afford to buy civ 7 on maldys discord because its 70 dollars and went on a massive rant about how expensive games are and how 70 dollars is two bills for him, and how he makes like 10 grand a year

hes subbed to maldy. makes me feel genuinely sad to see someome this mentally ill throwing their money towards a fraud. like those churches with pastors i forget what they're called

 

[Drama keen]

I don't know about his April hype train shit, but, since people do not really follow Twitch that much here:
September on Twitch has some sort of discount on subscriptions, "Subtember". Because of that sometimes mid-sized streamers use(d?) to set a sub goal, and buy a good amount of subscriptions themselves, to reach the next level, to unlock more emote slots.

The person compiling the stats seems aware, but I'm not convinced everyone in this thread is familiar with Twitch's works.

A radiometer responds more strongly to shorter-wavelength light.
Red LEDs won’t spin a radiometer, white ones will a little, and blue ones will a lot.

You don’t need to listen to people hallucinate about virtual photons to understand this. If longer-wavelength light doesn’t even start turning the radiometer but shorter wavelengths do so immediately, then the same principle applies when light hits your body. These short wavelengths, shorter than nearly anything found in nature, exert more force against your retina.

The blue subpixels in your screen have a very short wavelength, ranging from 400 to 440 nm, placing them right at the cusp of UVA.

Subpixels don’t combine their wavelengths to create new ones. Instead, they project their original wavelengths at different intensities to create the illusion of other colors. This means your eyes are always exposed to these very short wavelengths whenever the blue subpixel contributes to the displayed color.

If you look at the extreme ends of light with IR and UV, you can see that IR penetrates far deeper and therefore has a much larger area to disperse its energy to. UV light doesn’t penetrate very deep at all and has a much smaller area to which it delivers its energy. That’s why short-wavelength light can kill cells and destroy DNA, while long-wavelength light cannot.

Edit:
A lot of LEDs are built from Blue LEDs
The first graph is from a regular White LED. Looking at that little infographic it makes sense why people find incandescent lights less straining on the eyes.

You could've just linked this

He didn't. The Vedal thing happened kinda randomly during a sub-athon, that's part of what made it so shocking, because to set the record Maldy had planned it all out with his community as a specific thing.

 

[Slav Power]

A radiometer responds more strongly to shorter-wavelength light.

So does your retina. If you have an RGB peripheral, a keyboard, a mouse, a GPU, whatever, set it to #FF0000 in a dark room. Then set it to #00FF00 and then set it to #0000FF. You'll notice that your eyes strained the least when it was set to red, but the most when it was set to blue, and if you're one of those people that uses RGB backlit everything, you might come to a conclusion that making your room look like a brothel/devil worship shrine will be the most beneficial for your eyes. That, or you will grow up, disable all RGB lights, get a keyboard with white-on-black lettering and just turn the lights on at night.

The human eye is naturally inclined to hate the blue light, yet we constantly bombard our eyes with it. As great as LED's are at producing light with as little energy used as possible, thanks to which you can have a pocket floodlight for cheap, it comes at a cost of having to use those blue LED's to make it possible. So when you change all the lightbulbs in your house to LED ones, sure, you save a lot on energy bills, but at the same time you constantly expose yourself to blue light. Similarly, the screen you're looking at right now will blast blue light into your eye sockets, whether it's the blue light from the blue subpixel or the blue light from the white backlight, which no blue light filter will limit. Remember: white LED's are composed of red, green and blue LED's, they will emit blue light by design. White LED's weren't even possible before the invention of the blue LED in the 90's, which is why fluorescent lightbulbs existed as the stop-gap between incandescent lightbulbs and LED's.

tl;dr: all white LED's emit blue light by design. You're already getting enough exposure to it, so don't try to add more.

It did get a significant boost from the Valorant promotion that was going on Dec 23-Jan 2, where they added 1 sub to every 5 gifted, though so did the sub count of all channels

 

[Vampirdžija]

Having recently skimmed this whole saga, Jason Maldy is a unique lolcow where his lifestyle is streaming 12 hours per day while nobody has the energy to sit through that shit because of how boring he is- yet we still have plenty of funny material thanks to his huge ego and metaphorical online skidmarks in the furry community.

I feel like there'd be more potential looking into Shaye/RiverMakes old tweets, she is 8 years younger than him and there must be more stuff in old social media posts of somebody who is a furry pooner in a depressing relationship. She works a job and handles all the ferrets alone while also being berated by Jason publicly on stream, the only reason to stick around is furry business + bad family relationship + money. So basically considering Jason's asshole behaviour maybe there could be revealing posts about his shitty character or odd habits from the people that surround him on their social media.

 

[ScurvyRat]

Personally, I just don't find a retarded mentally ill pooner interesting.
Mald is interesting because of the sheer number of people he managed to fool, for a time.
