Yea you'd think the guy who streams 19 hours every day who is being swatted by someone who obviously knows who he is...would have it happen during his stream. Not only is it just incredibly likely in general because of the ratio of hours online vs. not and the times he's doing it, the person doing it obviously knows him and could see his schedule. All other streamers got swatted during their streams, almost like that's half the point. Werid.

So we have Mald who streams 19 hours a day (and sleeps 4) but also gets swatted offscreen and also does all his developing offscreen and also does all this other stuff in that literal 1 hour period. k
While he doesn't say it directly, he kinda did confirm his house wasn't raided by the police. According to him "they" tried to swat him but local PD reached out to him and nothing happened

Thankfully we have interactions with the local law enforcement and they just go "hey, is everything OK?", and they can see me on stream

They swatted me on July 1st and July 4th, so they tried it twice. even though, like, local law enforcement knows who I am, and they reached out and they were like "hey this is happening again"
Could be true, but he has a long history of lying.
 
He's been assblasted by everyone on Youtube, including Charlie whom Jason managed to enrage with his reddit-tier tweets. He's officially the new lolcow in town sitting among the likes of DSP and YandereDev and the internet is shitting on him nonstop. His ego was torn to shreds then the shreds set on fire then the ashes chucked into the blessed waters of India. He looks like he's about to cry because he recieved the humbling of a lifetime, not because a cop politely knocked at his door (as he claimed) to check if he was cosplaying as Kurt Cobain.
all the negativity couldn’t happen to a better person. I wish him well.

Every PD is different obviously, but far bigger streamers have been swatted, where police have to come in and check the place out. It seems far more likely that this was a simple wellness check, as opposed to a swatting where the caller claims there is a murder/hostage situation unfolding. It is possible that his PD responds the way he claims, but for someone who hasn't really been swatted before it is quite odd for them to be so lax.
 
Now the main course bugman's hot take

I am several dozen pages behind, but allow me to give my $0.02 on the Bugman's Pokemon game comparison as to why Nintendo would have leverage in court.

To be clear: Nintendo absolutely *is* predatory toward fan projects, but there's a good deal more leniency than people are willing to give credit.

a) Nintendo specifically targets anything that poses a tangible threat to their IPs. If a ROM hack gets popular enough, Nintendo will target it. If an emulation project poses similar problems, they too will go after it... with caveats since emulation law has precedent in favour of emulators and their developers here in the USA (and maybe Europe/Oceania too?). The shutdown of Citra and Yuzu was terrible, but the Yuzu team in their infinite wisdom were running a paid grift where they were advertising better Switch game compatibility even with Switch games that came out recently (i.e. within 3 months of that Yuzu premium update). Citra was made by the same people who made Yuzu, so that had to go in the cease-and-desist settlement too. Notice, however, that Nintendo hasn't explicitly targeted Azahar, the "continuation" of Citra post-takedown. This is because the Azahar team specifically learned from the Citra/Yuzu team's mistakes, and they also implemented specific measures to avoid anti-piracy lawsuits. You can no longer run encrypted CIAs of 3DS games in Azahar like you could on Citra; they must be decrypted. Yes, you *can* theoretically download encrypted CIAs anywhere and decrypt them with popular open source tools (i.e. CTRTool), but that's an extra step that the Azahar team does not advertise. There were also some more obtuse changes to the back-end, but I don't immediately recall what they are.

b) Pokemon Showdown throws a huge wrench in the Bugman's analogy because Showdown is explicitly a battle simulator and not a full-on recreation of a Pokemon game. You cannot get level up, get gym badges, or challenge the Elite 4 in Pokemon Showdown. You can play with Koraidon and Miraidon in Scarlet/Violet AG, you can test out VGC teams on ladder, but you're not getting the "full" Pokemon experience. There's allegedly some cooperation between Smogon, the Pokemon Showdown developers, and the Pokemon Company International, but it's murky and discussion is often tight-lipped. Either way, Showdown's persisted for more than a decade despite countless other ROM hacks, fan games, emulators, and hosting sites going tits-up within that time period.

Excellent video by Moon Channel on the subject if you wanna learn more. TLDR is that Fagtree's own Discord circlejerk are infinitely more retarded than they let on.

The PDs have learnt better to distinguish real emergencies from malicious swatting (And so did the Fire Departments, because they would also be used in "Swatting" so they break your windows and doors). SWAT teams chilled out on the "dynamic entries", though someone like Maldavious would totally want to pull a Keffals and exaggerate a simple check-up to "someone pointed an AR at my face" for brownie points. I'm sure nothing much happened because otherwise Maldavious would be crying about it (even more) every time he speaks.

I asked this question earlier in the thread (didn't get a reply), but I thought a successful swatting just means sending the cops to someone you're fucking with. Like how Metokur gets cops at his door when he got doxxed, he says "No, I'm not torturing Jade right now" with her with him, and they leave. Do the cops need to go full raid on your ass for it to count as a swatting?
 
That guy is also a narcissist but he backed up his cred with true shit++ knowledge.
This video is better than the gay guy screaming for an hour (That one got privated but the preservetube link is in this thread).

But the global.storyline_array is genius, 20 years of experience, high tier programming he just needs to use an enum to index that shit.

There are no disaster recovery plans.
There are no dev/staging environments.
Everything pushed to prod.
There is no testing.
There are no rollbacks.
Every commit is a brush with bankruptcy.

idk, maybe a little extra planning would help. Wasn't Pirate all about making design documents?
Piratesoftware compares the current situation to Kony 2012
Tell you what. Get Stop Killing Games on a wikipedia banner and it can be comparible to the anti-SOPA/PIPA movement. Replace godaddy as the villain with e-daddies.

Yes, that's the point, if a SWAT team doesn't do anything, then there's no SWAT in SWATting.

If the cops just knock on your door, or call you, it's barely worse than calling pizza places for them. The reason Qween Keffals raised 100k was because he cried about how he got an AR pointed to his face to Canadian TV, which was a lie. Real Swatting can be classified as attempted homicide and the reason Torswats will probably spend decades in jail.
 
C++ developer reviewed Maldy's code. For some reason both yt-dlp and preservetube are being niggers for me so I can't archive rn. Would appreciate if someone else can


Edit: preservetube archived, still no local because yt-dlp is still being a fag
I don't think C++ is particularly relevant but the criticisms are language agnostic and the more examples of devs shitting on Mald the harder it is for him to maintain his facade.

During the Dr. K stream, Mald said the WoW drama led to an anxiety attack for the first time in his life. If that was genuine, he's certainly experiencing that again.
 
UKie taking part in this is particularly galling, when one of their campaigns "elevating games" is about "Championing British made games as a force for good... proving that games are as influential as they are inspiring" - how are games important if you can just kill them with a flick of a switch? How are they a force for good if they violate consumer rights?

UKie will almost certainly be single-handedly responsible for the British petition achieving nothing as they are the ones that advise the government on such issues.
