This guy might be just pretending to be retarded, but I don't think so. He might even be one of the lolberts who posted in this thread.
Someone who plays a lot of F2P/P2W games like him would of course be against it.
Gachafags/Whales/Mobile Gaymers love when games die and they can jump to the next one.

The idea that a some IP cashgrab shovelware could be repurposed by players removing all the time gates and p2w mechanics must me horrifying
I think people are not considering how this will affect gacha and gachafags, I think they will put the most resistance.

Imagine you're on the leaderboard of WWE champions and players start migrating to a private server where they can just play the "game" and your big boy leaderboard whale status becomes obsolete!
:stress:
 
In what universe would 4chan be against something like SKG and support someone like mald? Did the 4chan hack make them do a fucking 180 or something.
about right yeah, sharty hack literally showed how much tranny jannies and rapeape hate the site so now they don't need to pretend to care about it anymore.

also this entire shit is gay, it's obvious thor is malding over the fact that it wasn't him that came up with the idea, the fact that he said the movement can eat his ass and that he would shill against it was a telltale sign of a faggot being angry.
it's good to see whateverthefuck credibility people gave this faggot being burned away because he is a retarded faggot, probably narcissistic due to the way of never, ever, apologizing without a "but..."

The vast majority supports it but rn we're fighting with huge amounts of bots, discord shills and cp / porn spammers. And as much as I'd like to keep making threads seeing some of the earlier stuff made me actually violently sick. I wouldn't be surprised if all the CP will get mods to nuke / autosage the threads again.

That's what happened at the beginning of the campaign at least.

No sane user would do that, but 4chan is not a singular entity, anyone can go shit it up. And when some rotten people see others rallying together to try making a positive change in the world, their natural response is to harm them, so as to make them just as miserable as they are.
 
thor jason is malding over the fact that it wasn't him that came up with the idea
I think you're way off here. His visceral reaction, in my opinion, is due to two things that Jason has proven over and over. The first is that he's a corporate dicksucking faggot, which he thinks give him the air of an "insider" perspective. The second is that he's a lazy piece of shit and the idea of having to deliver anything "extra" is unacceptable to him. He's also too fucking stupid to understand what's being asked of developers, so he wrongly assumes it's much more work than it is.

"Why are you trying to push this popular legal reform? What we SHOULD be doing is trying to get every bad law repealed at the same time becuase that's more pragmatic and possible"
Absolute Libertarian Moment. Of course its a cunnytroon too, they always have the strongest opinions on the age of consent and on tourism in Thailand

i am off, i forgot to mention that because i only heard of pirate software recently due to ross's video but his actions is that of a jealous faggot, him being a corporate dicksucking faggot from what i could gather is because he is from blizzard and being a faggot is a requirement to work in that company, being lazy and having to do extra work is fairly incorrect, keeping up with the scam ongoing however is not as porn game devs and yanderedev do to keep the paypiggies forking cash.
he also mentioned having a similar idea on the first ross reaction video, this is why i say he is malding because he didn't come up with it, my talk about him sounding narcissistic is because of the Dr.K video where he scoffs what is told him.
they always have the strongest opinions on the age of consent and on tourism in Thailand
funny because you can wonder if that is either retarded or gay, for both cases.

he could of been onto something but hes a pedophile so im not hearing
This guy is literally missing the point. The purpose of the campaign isn't to "hurt" AAA companies, it's to prevent games from disappearing that are dependent on online services; it's about the right to own what we buy without fear of it being taken. While I agree that copyright is a huge problem, his points does nothing to address the problem of games being affected by server shutdowns.

Their only claim is that "if we got rid of copyright then they wouldn't have to pressure people into buying sequels by closing their old games". Cool, but that still doesn't change the fact that they could still pull the plug on the servers or if the company goes bankrupt and has to close everything.

By that same token, think about all the f2p people on those same gacha games, who saved their currency, did the grind, and because the company decides it’s not profitable enough anymore and pulls the plug on the game, now their long-term efforts are for naught. Whales are not the only people who play gacha. SKG would benefit them just as much as anyone else

Yeah they're not really getting it. I suppose they want a lawless Wild West scenario where people can just fork games ad infinitum, which I guess I don't have a problem with, but like you said it wouldn't help anything.

Instead of 1 version of the game being shut down and having it's data lost, it would just be countless of them.
 
I looked into the 4chan v threads, and some are literally calling ALL SKG people pedophiles now

Not surprised by these rage bait tier retard takes. Ross really rustled some jimmies by just wanting some signatures.
 
He's 100% bullshitting with the global array in Heartbound though. A sane way to do that is to assign IDs to strings, refer to IDs in the code, and have an i18n library pull data from a text file. That preserves the benefit of being able to quickly edit text, but prevents you from going insane having to remember which array index you store that particular string at, if you use descriptive identifiers.

Yes, I mentioned this earlier in the thread, as did a few others.
The global array that some how makes things 20% faster for some retarded reason is fucking stupid.

Now, I'm not sure what the best way to do it in Game Maker is, as I never used it and only read a bit of documentation on it.
I would assume the best way to do it is for each trigger/event that needs to check a "world state" to point to the JSON world state file and read it, as it is an O(1) operation. While it is true dumping a giant fuck off array into dynamic memory is faster then doing a JSON look up, but it is stupid.

It is a negative for development, as it makes things more complicated for yourself and yields no benefits.

As an audio guy, his voice never sounded right to me—like there was a hollow nature to it. Reminiscent of excessive EQ/filtering. We all know he modifies his voice, but I was curious so I loaded the full ~5 minute clip into RX and looked at the spectrum. I didn't expect to be this right:

Timecodes can be seen along the bottom of the screenshots. Notice how there are these huge holes in the mid-range, but only when it's maldy who is talking?

Natural sound simply doesn't work like this. He can't really claim this is some noise filtering setup, since you can see he lets the high-end hiss from his S and H sounds bleed through, leaving this big notch filter-like hole. If anything, his audio has the most high frequency (noise range) content out of anyone on the panel.

The hard cutoff around 15k you see is from lossy compression and isn't anything he did himself.

Edit: it's really quite comical when you zoom out

I have a question, as I have only taken a single Digital Signal Processing class, and that was years ago.
Could this be due to the compression from Twitch, causing it to appear that way?

Not that I disagree with you, I am only curious.

uneducated opinion: sharty pulled their scooby doo mask off and revealed 4chan is mostly a tranny janny curated containment vector where potential chuds could do more damage without as many guard rails elsewhere.
 
Well, from what I've seen, they both have some similar philosophies - I haven't looked too deeply at TempleOS's code, but I remember hearing Terry say some concerning things in his interviews about scope and encapsulation, etc. Terry largely has a philosophy of not wanting to be saved from himself, which I can respect, but it came off to me like he's the kind of guy who'd make everything globally accessible, which would make it a nightmare to work with. That's something he and Thor have in common, actually.

I'm not bashing Terry as a person, necessarily, but I've always gotten the sense that Terry is sort of an outsider artist as far as code goes, and I feel the need to assert that volume of effort and quality of effort are not inextricable. There can be a lot of something, but that doesn't imply that any of it is good, necessarily. The sheer amount of what he accomplished is impressive, sure, but that doesn't necessarily imply he did it in an especially-skillful way, and I see a bunch of people saying that because he built TOS on his own, that he must necessarily write good-quality code in doing it, when that's not necessarily true.

That said, that's also not me saying he's definitely a bad coder, just that I can't guarantee he's a particularly good one. If any of you guys have actually done a dive on Terry's code and I'm way off-base, though, by all means, put me in my place.
You quite obviously never made your own compiler.

Fair question and worth establishing.

Generally the compression is done using AAC for mp4 files and Opus for webm files. I believe twitch mostly (if not entirely) uses mp4. Regardless of the codec, none of them tear out this much frequency information from a range associated with human speech.

To take it a step further: If we suppose his line got compressed when they did their live hangout thing, any modern voice client would use a codec optimized for speech. I know Discord, for example, uses Opus (and Opus sounds good with everything). Even early telecommunications codecs based on interpolation don't do this much damage. If it were hypothetically some in-house thing, whoever paid for its development got fucked hard—since it strips away a lot of important speech-related data while including literally all noise.

It kinda pains me to think he has some pricey mic setup and makes it sound worse than tin cans on a string, all in an effort to try to make the retarded shit he says sound wise and insightful.

You quite obviously never made your own compiler.
Speaking as someone who has written a few compilers over the years, that's nothing compared to making a whole OS, much less one built around your compiled language. Like one man building a skyscraper from raw materials.
