Jason Thor Hall aka PirateSoftware is an extremely popular programming YouTuber/Streamer who grew massively in popularity thanks to YouTube shorts allowing him to hang out around many popular figures in the Livestreaming community like Pokimane, Xqc, and Ludwig. In other circles he's quite infamous for being an asshole, lying even about small details in his life, not taking criticism well, and his general incompetence with programming and running business

1. Early History
Jason has worked at Blizzard Entertainment as an offensive security specialist and at Amazon Games Studio as a Python developer, mostly thanks to his dad who, according to himself, was one of the first 10 people in Blizzard. He is a penetration test hacker with three black badges from DEF CON who you can read yapping about it in any of his interviews with online journalists that talk about him better than I can such as this one - archive with 720k Twitch followers, 233k X followers, and 1.8m youtube subs, however, it is possible he might have to piggyback his way into winning the DEF CON badges as he was part of a 12 person team for the number 23 and 24 black badges, he was also part of a team for 25 but the individual participants aren't listed

His earliest Internet presence can be traced back to the Second Life with the nickname "Maldavious Figtree", he would be an employee of Brautigan & Tuck, which is described as "The International Libertarian, and hunt for new stories for it within the free market community of SL". He would later quit and on September 16th, 2006 started his own company called "DarkSphere Creations", which makes avatars for SL for money. According to a Second Life newspaper, yes this is real, the company turned out to be very successful

His presence in Second Life was also well known, he would even be interviewed by a Second Life magazine called "AvaStars", yes this is real. In it he would be described as "FUNKY Furry" :story:

But why would he do it? It's simple, during his time on Second Life he would become a controversial figure in the community. There are 2 main incidents which contributed to his bad reputation:
  1. In July of 2007, the Woodbury University region was first trashed by Jason and then completely destroyed less than a week later by Linden Lab, the creators of Second Life, itself. Linden Lab deleted the region and most of its users due to its use as a headquarters for planning and executing grid raids by the now inactive griefing group known as the Patriotic Nigras. According to anonymous commentators, the reason for his jihad against Woodbury University is because they kicked him off the project
  2. On January 20, 2008, the news broke that Jason secretly fired his employee, Wingless Emoto, while she was asleep. Jason held a suspiciously timed staff meeting on Friday morning - a meeting timed for when Wingless Emoto would be asleep and therefore unable to attend. During this meeting, it was determined that Emoto was earning too much and should therefore be removed from staff. The terms of service for Jason's company, Darkphere Creations, were then conveniently changed, and Emoto was removed from her position, all before she awoke to the news.
The latter article also includes a picture of Jason sucking dick :story:
1723231951084.png
Jason would respond to the article by claiming that the reason for firing her was because she was lazy and also leaked IRC chat logs with him and her
1723232071633.png
This would be a valid argument if she was paid some kind of salary. Instead, she's paid a commission at point-of-sale. This means she ONLY GETS PAID FOR WORK SHE HAS ALREADY DONE. In such a situation, there is no reason to "fire" someone for being lazy

The articles also include comments in which people shared their own experiences with Jason, which paints a quite an interesting picture of him
1723231042618.png

1723231709796.png
1723231768357.png
1723232477450.png
Here are the bullet points of their comments:
  • Jason's jihad against Woodbury University was far stronger than expected. He bugged every single he bugged any and every object he could find, or hid objects in the walls to log chats and log who is in a certain location, he does this with many of his creations, he'll hide scripts in a .010x.010x.010 prim amongst normal prims. He also wrecked other builds he's been involved with.
  • He literally tried to get into an actual Woodbury University to try to get control over their fake world in Second Life. This university costs 22k a year
  • He has backstabbed countless people, even harassing people in real life, and getting others to harass them outside of SL until they drop out of existence, one way or another
  • Has conducted DDoS attacks using HTTP requests from within Second Life
  • He was kicked off the Woodbury project due to his unstable and erratic behavior when dealing with other people and vowed "Woodbury will never return"
  • He's extremely vengeful and doesn't want people to be more successful than him, which commenter theorizes is the real reason why he fired Emoto
  • He has gotten away with a lot of shit, while people who did less than him were punished more severely. The commentators claim that it's because of his father and his status in Blizzard and Liden Labs, the creators of Second Life, don't want to make waves in the gaming industry
  • He's extremely lazy. An anonymous person who is alleged to be his ex-business partner says that he did approximately 80 minutes of work against Anon's 30 hours and expected to get half the cash. When Anon complained about this, as well as being constantly ignored for 2 weeks Jason gave him his 'Do you know how good a scripter I am, how much I'm worth, I make 8000$us a month from sl' speech
  • His academic abilities are extremely poor
  • He bragged about "having secret friends in Liden Labs" and would use this to try to intimidate people from reporting his behavior. In reality, Liden Labs does not listen to anything he has to say. He did try to get hired by them but they rejected him
  • He allegedly destroyed his other ex-business partner's reputation and concocted all manner of absolutely unrepeatable lies about her mental health and her status in her profession
  • He tries to cover up his stories by contacting the witnesses on Skype and making elaborate lies to tell you that he hopes will destroy your objectivity and impartiality and bring you into his way of thinking. If you question his story all of your manager privileges gonna get revoked and he will spread lies about you to different people
While these claims don't have any proof, the fact that there are so many different people who tell similar stories about one person should raise some eyebrows. There's one comment, however, which also includes an IIRC chat log of Mald, which reveals some interesting information.
1726149688462.png
This section is particularly revealing.
1726149734734.png
Jason drove 4 hours, 2 hours to and 2 hours back, to meet up with an underaged girl who worked for his digital fetish shop. Now, you may be skeptical about whether the IIRC logs were forged or not, Jason himself says that it happened and nobody has even tried denying it. He met up with this minor as a ~20-year-old adult, end of story. What actually happened there is still in question.

This chat log was spread around on 4chan's /v/ a lot and due to this Jason was forced to respond
1725450767461.png
Where the actual gunt guarding from his fans begins is in the timeline of if Jason actually knew whether this was a minor before he met up with her. Him knowing before meeting her would drastically change the implications of the meeting and is important to understand.
1726150217357.png
Smuggesthatkid on Reddit (who gunt guards Jason constantly every time criticism comes up) Says that Jason drove out to this minor without knowing about it beforehand and after finding out about it immediately left the minor. Hatkid provides nothing to support what he says but when dealing with accusations as serious as these I will always give the benefit of the doubt.
1726150249045.png
My big question about this argument is why the fuck didn't Jason say this in the comment response he made? (that he later deleted it with a false copyright strike, but we'll talk about that later)
1726150307385.png
If he had been so innocent and had no idea that this person was a minor, wouldn't he have addressed the meeting? I mean it's only logical to state that the moment he found out this girl was a minor he left her. More than that, why didn't he talk about the harassment accusations? or the ddosing accusations???

Well, he did respond to all of that... His response to it was to copyright strike everyone who talked about it and try to sweep all of it under the rug.
These are not the actions of some innocent little angel who met up with a minor just to "hang out" or "chat" with her.
This is what someone with A very dark past does to try and hide it for damage control. What he's doing reflects really badly on him and judging by what we've seen so far. It may not be too far out to assume the worst here...
2. PirateSoftware
After quitting Second Life and Blizzard, Jason started his own game company called "PirateSoftware"
1723233081453.png
source - archive
They would release their first game, "Champions of Breakfast", which sold moderately well for an indie game made by a newly made studio. After this, they decided to make something they actually wanted to do, a game called "HeartBound", a story-driven RPG Maker game about a boy and his dog with multiple endings and branching paths. The game would be released in the alpha state in November 2016 with great success and would be played by known YouTubers like JackSepticEye and MatPat, the latter of which would call the game "The next Undertale", which in itself is a controversy, but are not going to be talking about that

What we ARE going to talk about is the release date

Heartbound was put on Steam Greenlight on Nov 2016 and it had a release date of 2017.
1723233763914.png(A)
1723234023821.png
The game left Steam Greenlight on Dec 2016 (the archive is from Feb 2017 because I couldn't find an archive from December)
1723234051687.png(A)
On Feb 2017 Pirate Software did a Kickstarter fundraiser for Heartbound with a release date of December 2017. According to an interview, Thor put the funding goal at $5000 because he knew the money would be raised in 24 hours and a bunch of news sites would pick it up. The fundraiser ended on March 26th, 2017.
1723234094635.png
1723234117160.png(A)
1723234134766.png(A)
Here are the stretch goals:
1723234197306.png(A)
On November 1th 2017 the game was pushed back to early to mid-2018 because they wanted to make a larger game that was originally planned.
1723234228348.png(A)
On Feb 6th, 2018 the wording changed from "We are hoping to fully finish and release Heartbound by early to mid-2018." to "We are hoping to fully finish and release Heartbound in 2018"
1723234285666.png(A)
On Oct 25th the wording again changed from "We are hoping to fully finish and release Heartbound by early to mid-2018." to "Heartbound is launching into Early Access on Steam in December 2018."
1723234337324.png
Eventually, Heartbound will be released in Early Access on Dec 25th, 2018.
1723234370667.png(L)
Sometime in 2019, the question of when the game will be released was removed from the FAQ.
1723277287686.png(A)
On Sep 21st, 2021, Thor said on Twitter that he lost 9 months of development time due to Covid.
1723277347593.png
1723277365490.png(A)
On Sep 29th, 2021, Thor said on Twitter that he contracted COVID in early 2020 and lost nearly a year of development time in recovery.
1723277401308.png
1723277446237.png
1723277460967.png(A)
In a video called "September Update" which was published on October 21st, 2023, Thor said he and his team are planning to release Animus (Chapter 3 of Heartbound) on Dec 24th, 2023.
(Ghost Archive)
When December came around, in Patch 1.0.9.63 Pirate Software said that Animus was still being actively developed.
1723277545211.png
1723277561108.png(A)
People would be extremely pissed off by the lack of movement in the development, as another commenter pointed out, if you watch Jason's stream which he advertises on the page, he barely works on the game, to which Jason would respond by claiming that he works on the game every day
1723278646502.png
Check out the clown emojis above Jason's reply, no one is buying his bullshit :story:

This displays his complete lack of competence. What's even funnier is that in many of his YouTube shorts, he brags about his "ridiculously efficient raytracing", while in reality if you look at his company products it's far from the truth

Flat scenes with a single static light source (and furries, of course):
1723279008259.png
A few scenes have some materials that look like they should emit light, but don't.
1723279040377.png1723279060080.png
The "tubes" here should cast some light on the surfaces around them, but obviously don't, and it's not even taking into account the "tracing" part which would involve multiple bounces but here, probably due to efficiency reasons, we see 0. Skipping around, there's no trace (lol) of reflections or refractions anywhere, which isn't really surprising at this point.

The only thing resembling dynamic lighting I've found is this:
1723279096408.png
1723279113204.png
Again, furries, but more importantly, this just looks like a cheap bloom filter to me. Now, technically, it could still use raytracing, but it would be vastly easier and less resource-intensive to just use baked lighting, which is probably what he has done, but you gotta impress your audience somehow, I guess.

And, of course, since this is a hyper-artistic indie game, we have shit that makes your eyes bleed:
1723279160951.png
With this kind of skill, he still has an ego to give out his "professional" take on the gaming industry. Take a look at this take he has regarding timed exclusivity for videogames

(Preserve Tube)
Now let's ask Squaresoft how that went for them.
1723279410966.png
Another example of his incompetency is his campaign "KickTheSpy". On April 17, 2024, Joseph Cox of 404Media released an article where he wrote about spy.pet, a scraping site that has a database from the publicly available Discord chats from various servers, he complained that a group of boy-hungry pedophile groomers (referred to as "the queer community" in this article, for some reason) were unjustly targeted and tried to blame Kiwifarms for it. Jason, in his ultimate wisdom, decided to start a campaign to take down the website
1730025512068.png
Discord, unlike other messaging apps, is not encrypted which is why it's so easy to scrape the chats from the servers but despite this people blame the website and not Discord itself. Jason, as a "professional" in his field, should have been more responsible with his messaging and should have instead told people to switch to an app other than Discord

Jason has this thing, before he states his "professional" take he first needs you to know that he IS a "professional" who has 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
1723565849392.png(A)
1723565949707.png(A)
1723566028222.png(A)
1723566083214.png
Despite these claims, his programming skills do not add up to his 20 years of experience. Let's do a comparison:

This is Yandere Dev:
1723279538981.png
And this is Jason, an ex-Blizzard employee who brags about his "insane coding skills" in every stream
1723279593007.png
Explanation by @Soyjak Enjoyer:
Just to try to give an idea of what he is doing here for people who can't read code, it appears that every story decision is represented by an arbitrary number at an arbitrary location in a big list. The repetitive copy-pasted lines are bad and easily fixable, but small potatoes. This is really bad because it means if for example, you need to check later whether or not the player chose the hot coffee 5 hours ago in the story (idk why this would have an impact far into the story but it's just for example), he would have by then forgot what the number codes are and have to cross reference this file and ctrl+f to find what specific numbers correspond to this option and the type something along the lines of:
if(global.story_array[216] == 2)

and then later on if he's changing something and comes across that line he'll have no idea what the fuck "216" and "2" refer to and have to cross-reference the file again to figure out what. Unless he comments every single time he invokes something from this array to explain what it is to himself, but then if he accidentally typed 204 instead of 205 that would create a potentially very difficult-to-find bug that would waste a lot of his time. And since it's all just hard constants

With under 2 hours of upfront work, he could've designed it such that he instead typed something much easier to work with like:
if(global.story_map["CoffeeTemperature"].equals("hot"))
or even something like
if(global.StoryDecisions.COFFEE_HOT)
and those are just generic approaches I don't know the specifics of how his game works so there may be an even better way

When you're working by yourself on a small project it's perfectly reasonable or sometimes even a timesaver if the scope is small enough to engage in some bad practice shit like this, but when he has hundreds of lines in this file, possibly thousands, all that time spent on the cross-referencing and the potential to lose focus while changing and scrolling around in different files will add up. From Yanderedev I understand it, from L33t "ex-blizzard" h4x0r man, it's just pathetic
And if you think I'm just taking this out of context, no, this is actually how his entire game is written
1725447138929.png
He even lies about his voice, take a listen to this interview and compare it to the video where he explains timed exclusivity

Preservetube Archive
His deep voice is completely gone, meaning that he most likely uses a voice changer. He is so insecure about his fake voice that he defends himself in the comments under a seven-year-old video
1723280026320.png
His lies even extend to the development of Heartbound, his claims about having COVID are extremely inconsistent

On January 25th, 2020, Jason said that he couldn't stream because he was sick for 4 days.
1725447373366.png(A)
1725447393965.png(A)
On March 10th and 11th Jason said on Twitter that he had a cold which made him sick for 5 days (Mar 11th - 5 days = Mar 6th).
1725447440272.png
1725447463115.png(A)
1725447484360.png(A)
He would reiterate on March 15th 2020 that he had been sick for over a week.
1725447532219.png(A)
On March 16th Jason says that he was still sick but was feeling better.
1725447568225.png(A)
On March 17th Jason went to Urgent care and was diagnosed with pneumonia. Also, he took a COVID test which he said the results would come out in 2 - 3 days.
1725447607342.png(A)
According to Jason, the COVID test came out negative and he only had pneumonia.
1725447642331.png(A)
1725447663520.png(A)
On March 24th 2020 Jason said that he was misdiagnosed and actually had severe bronchitis. Also, Jason said that after a day of rest he was feeling much better and he could breath again.
1725447701406.png(A)
1725447720284.png(A)
On March 30th 2020, Jason would reiterate that he tested negative for COVID-19.
1725447764020.png(A)
Jason in early April would say that he had a cold over the last month despite saying in March that he had "severe bronchitis".
1725447803912.png(A)
1725447821313.png(A)
On April 6th 2020, Jason's symptoms would get worse again.
1725447869653.png(A)
On April 10th 2020, Jason announced that his cold was defeated.
1725447900146.png(A)
Jason would continue developing his game, streaming the process and announce a Game Jam for the rest of April.
1725447944726.png
1725447968409.png
1725447986585.png
1725448019403.png(A)
Jason would continue streaming, working on his game and he would release about it an update on Steam in May.
1725448068732.png
1725448091403.png
1725448112445.png

1725448158745.png
1725448178455.png
1725448199921.png(A)
Jason streamed in June in the following days:
  • Jun 1st 2020 for 5 hours
  • Jun 2nd 2020 for 3.8 hours
  • Jun 3rd 2020 for 40 minutes
  • Jun 4th 2020 for 7.3 hours
  • Jun 6th 2020 for 6.2 hours
  • Jun 8th 2020 for 4.3 hours
  • Jun 9th 2020 for 8.1 hours
  • Jun 10th 2020 for 7.1 hours
  • Jun 13th 2020 for 8.1 hours
  • Jun 16th 2020 for 4.9 hours
  • Jun 17th 2020 for 4.3 hours
  • Jun 23th 2020 for 3.8 hours
1725448272545.png(A)
On July 28th 2020 he released an update on Steam which links back to his previous update back in May to explain the "huge gap" in updates. This contradicts what he said on April 10th 2020, where he said that he finally beat COVID:
1725448305221.png(A)
1725448331704.png(A)
2021 comes around and Jason decides to contradict everything he said previously:
1725448430296.png
1725448450983.png(A)
1725448470221.png(A)

1. He never mentioned anything about being sick with COVID in Feb 2020 (you can check his tweets from Feb 1st 2020 - Feb 28th 2020 here). He only mentioned having a sickness for 4 days in Jan 25th 2020 (Jan 25th - 4 = Jan 21th 2020). This claim also contradicts the tweets he made in March 2020 where he said his test for COVID came out negative: (Archive 1) (Archive 2) (Archive 3)
1725448518720.png
2. In Nov 2020 he said "after nearly 8 months of recovery my lungs are well enough to steam and work on a daily basis again". Why does he mention only his lungs in this tweet and not his supposed COVID? Also, he says that he has permanent lung damage but also says that his lungs were able to recover after 8 months for him to stream and work on a daily basis. How are your lungs able to recover from permanent damage? Also Jason contradicts himself in the 2021 tweet thread: "I have permanent lung damage" but "my lungs are much stronger". Again, how can your lungs recover to be stronger from the permanent damage that occurred back in 2020? Also, if your lungs were so bad that you couldn't speak why did you participate at DEFCON 2020?

3. If your COVID was so bad that you lost 9 months of development time to recover, why did you continue streaming and developing the game if your COVID was so bad?
1725448549916.png(A)
2023 comes around and Jason gets another round of COVID. But this time the recovery is only 20 days:

(Preserve Tube)
So the amount of development time he lost due to COVID is according to him:
First Covid: 9 months
Second Covid: 20 days

It genuinely feels like Jason is completely allergic to telling the truth, but his lies about COVID aren't the most egregious lies he said regarding the development of Heartbound. Remember the statement on the official site telling people to check out Jason's streams to see the process of making his game?
1725449531927.png
Well, a user @俺たちファームズでノッテる has gone out of his way to calculate the amount of time Jason has spent working on Heartbound on his recent streams since he had stated that he working very hard on it off-stream and on-stream
1725449706507.png
He discovered a shocking revelation that from the 164 hours of streams, only 15 minutes were spent on programming Heartbound
In 164 hours of video, and after spending 6-7 hours over two nights reviewing it (that I can never get back), I found that Thor spent 163 hours and 45 minutes not working on HeartBound, with only 15 minutes of actual 'attempts' to work on it. This feels like a case of Yanderdev 2.0, maybe even worse. I checked as thoroughly as I could—Thor genuinely only tried working on HeartBound for 15 minutes.
3. Jason VS Ross Scott
1723280469301.png1723280501903.png
Ross Scott aka Accursed Farms is a popular gaming YouTuber who's been reviewing games and covering the developments in the gaming industry for a long time. He's one of the most respected creators on the platform. One of the things he's been talking about for a long time is dead games, the games you can't play anymore, not even through piracy. He's advocated for developers to leave the games in the functional state even when devs completely abandon them, the devs should give the players to tools to at least host their own servers to play the games they want. For this reason, he created a campaign called "StopKillingGames"

What the initiative would do:
  1. Require video games sold to customers to be in a reasonably working state at the time of shutdown/end of support
  2. Prohibit any requirements for video games sold to customers to connect to the publisher or affiliated parties after support ends
  3. Require the above also apply to video games that sell game assets or features (microtransactions) to customers
What the initiative would not do:
  1. Require publishers to give up intellectual property rights
  2. Require publishers to give up source code
  3. Require endless support
  4. Require publishers to host servers
  5. Require publishers to assume liability for customer actions
  6. Interfere with business practices in any way while a game is still being supported
Jason, however, took offense to this campaign and heavily criticized it on his stream, while completely misunderstanding what the campaign does

Ross would respond to the live stream
1723280923031.png
Something interesting while diving, take a look at all the comments on that stream. Most of them are only a day old, yet Ross's comment should be 3 days old. It could be YT deleted it but I'm pretty sure he mass-deleted all the comments from the stream:
1723280966927.png
And here he is responding to it, calling it "disgusting".

His comments back it up and Ross responds:

1723281217705.png
1723281237504.png
(Look how nice Ross is being while Thor is sperging).

People mocking him:

1723281424789.png
1723281452750.png
Due to the amount of backlash he received for his take, he decided to double down by making 2 videos explaining himself, both of which are completely wrong

As you saw earlier, he's a huge advocate for anti-consumer practices, which is one of the reasons why he's so adamant about this campaign. The other reason is that he is the co-owner of a game publishing company called Offbrand along with Ludwig.
1723565272754.png
L | A
Their upcoming game, Rivals of the Aether 2, is a live-service multiplayer game. If you bring that fact in the discussion board on Steam you get banned for "Harassment and misinformation" as proven by @Heavy Culter :story:
1723281793924.png
He has also stated that he will not speak to Ross
1723281864726.png
After this fiasco, he received much attention from the /v/ board on 4chan where they discovered his past Second Life drama. Some small YouTubers would make a video covering his history like Ano Ano

Upon it's release, Jason would immediately respond to it in the comments
1725450709189.png
However, this wasn't enough. This video apparently hurt him so much that he made cope posts on his Discord server crying about it
1725450788633.png
1725450816021.png
And once again claiming that his voice "just got deeper" at 33 for some reason, Jason seems to take jokes about his voice very personally
1725450843298.png
1725450891232.png
This still wasn't enough, he needed this video TAKEN DOWN :mad: because Ano dared to make fun of him, and so he reported a video for cyber bullying
1725451175665.png
1725451212849.png

It seems like flagging down Ano Ano gave him a little ego boost because after he did it he decided to take down other videos criticizing him. His next victim would be @Ted's Cabin, a small youtube who joined the Kiwifarms to post evidence of Jason flagging him

4. Conclusion
Jason is a complete fraud who got astroturfed by the YouTube shorts algorithm and now can hang out with all the big creators on the platform. He's an industry shill who's managed to get away with his retarded takes and complete incompetency in anything he does. He's a lazy man who got completely carried by his father who just so happens to have a lot of connections in the industry and is now spoiled due to this. His ego is so high that any jokes or criticism of him will be met with censorship

Jason Thor Hall is best known online as PirateSoftware, a popular web-content creator focused on indie game design and hacking, but what you didn't know is he's an explicit furfag selling digital fursuits as a side business for nearly two decades.

If you are wondering why this does not look like his other pictures this fursona predates the other design and was his secondlife fursuit (photo from 2008).

Jason is a penetration test hacker with three black badges from DEF CON who you can read yapping about it in any of his interviews by online journalists that talk about him better than I can such as this one - archive with 720k twitch followers, 233k X followers, and 1.8m youtube subs. Knowing basic cybersecurity he does what it takes to clean up his public image:

One thing that he cannot blank or erase is his second life fursuit selling business as that would be a direct blow to his income. You can log on RIGHT NOW to second life and directly buy one of his premade fursonas.

He has 124 different fursuits ingame for sale! source - archive
An important thing to note in the description of each fursuit for sale is he is credited as the programmer of each fursuit while someone else is the listed artist.
description.png
This leads to one of the oldest surviving dramas online caused by him where he entered into an earlier partnership making fursuits with another furry "Wingless Emoto" ingame ( maim - archive on furaffinity and now a physical fursuit maker) and after having a successful product launch and a 50/50 split he booted her off the team to keep all the money for himself. It was short-lived as Wingless Emoto decided to upload her fursuit designs for free sans Jason's programming thus denying him any future revenue. He maintains he fired her for "sitting on her ass" being lazy. They are still available to this day.

His dad is Joeyray Hall, who was "one of the first ten people at Blizzard Entertainment" in his own words from his reddit AMA - archive . So yeah Jason's boasts are pretty cringe flexing his Blizzard Entertainment work when presumably it was all his dad's connections. Also, Jason has his own reddit AMA here - archive.

I know almost nothing about him, but I remember that he inserted himself into the Spy.Pet / Boykissser / Discord grooming drama. Definitely relevant if he's going to have a thread.

Start from here: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/boykis...-femboy-grooming-circles.182778/post-18217873
I decided to check spy.pet on Twitter and see how it's going, and now PirateSoftware is trying to stop the bot
lol, lmao even. I hate that retarded faggot so much and all of the other insufferable tranny """"indie"""" devs that circlejerk around him.

It almost makes you wonder why they don't want a bot in there.
And here I was thinking that he wasn't a faggot. I am an idiot, I should know better by now to not trust any e-celebs.

Hey Thor, if you're a veteran of cybersecurity, maybe instead of trying to shut down the bot, you should inform people that Discord is not private? That's what I would do, not try to make it seem like the issue is in just spy.pet, because the issue is in Discord itself. Encourage people to look at alternatives that don't keep a permanent record of everything you post.

But I guess you have an issue with it because you're friends or a part of the cliques that this bot exposes. I hope your troon friends inevitably turn on you and eat you alive, the only fate anyone that appeases the troon crowd deserves.

He was also doxed in the thread:
:smug:

Interesting draft but there's not enough funny shit this guy had done. All he does (from what I know) is stream and grift whatever is politically going on in the vidya game landscape. If his popularity begins to dwindle he might start ebegging like DSP.

Edit: I was wrong.

Are you Confident-Orchid-581 on Reddit? Why are you so concerned about people being antagonized against Sony? Do you work for Sony? Why did you create your Reddit account on 2024 January 14 (during the release PR cycle for Helldivers 2) but not use it to post and comment until May?
 
Ngl, he had me at first, the second he said "black guy on the cover," the story genuinely had a plot twist
I mean yea, it's the position of people who are too fucking retarded to understand why what their saying is retarded.

Like sure, the position of "I don't care what's in something as long as it's good" absent external factors, is a good fundamental stance. The issue though is that everybody now knows the industry is ideologically puritanical, and when we see some shit like a nigger samurai we all know exactly why it's a thing, and that it wasn't some interesting creative choice, it's just leftist propagandists attempting to subvert culture. More so, everybody knows that it's basically never just a story about a nigger samurai, it's a story about how much straight white people suck, capitalism is bad, and apparently everybody throughout all of history has been some flavor of LGB and everybody was totally cool with it. Whenever one of these turds are made, these are the basic rules, and we have learned time and time again that the types of people who willingly constrain themselves to these rules fundamentally cannot create enjoyable media for someone who isn't politically aligned with them, and even then, commies know the shit is trash, that's why they don't buy it either.
 
I saw some random youtube shorts from this guy and something felt off. It just feels like someone where everything they say is calculated to farm the most reddit upvotes possible. I was curious what games he made, and the only one was a small Undertale-like game that's been in early access since 2018 and still isn't done, and this is from a guy who claims to have game industry experience, something's not right there. He's like the Reddit Yin to Yanderedev's 4chan Yang in the balance of grifter-devs

He's pretty publicly embezzling the funds into his ferret rehab which has a lot of tax benefits due to being a nonprofit. Most of his "game dev" streams are just him scope-creeping the game to avoid having to finish it - the game'll only be done when it stops making money.
 
The guy comes across as algorithm-optimizing and overly positive, then turns around and offers some pretty genuine stuff and industry knowledge.

I treat him as an artist who does SFW and NSFW on separate accounts, whatever keeps the lights on. He wants attention so he inserts himself into whatever. He lets anyone use 100+ decent quality tracks from his game and all he asks is attribution. This feels like personal lolcow territory.
 
Great work with all the archiving, the OP still a bit barebones though, for exemple you could add a video of him bragging about working at blizzard instead of just saying he does it.

I definitely feel he will grow as more of a lolcow over time considering how much he loves to insert himself in every "current thing" he can.
 
I knew Jason since High School and I was his friend until about 2016 when he started getting really weird and unhinged. I've got some firsthand bulletpoints I can provide for context:
  • Called my friends (and me) "Nigglettes" at school, every chance in English class while reading Huck Fin he would take to say "NIGGER" as loud as he could. Said it was "Part of his heritage" as his "Mom lives in the country and dad's name is JoeyRay" and bragged about "His family owning a brothel". Called me "one of the good ones".
  • Often mimicked and insulted the less educated students at school. Was your prototypical "Bullynerd" who would run around shouting "AREEBAAH AREEBAH!" and "MUH RIGHTS! MY NIGGAHS!" and spoke in hood to people not as a way to normalize conversation but to belittle them then walk away mumbling "Fuckin faggots". Often would greet teachers and administrators with "Where my reperations, masa?". His father did not respond to it.
  • Was kicked out of the public library for indecent use of a book (he was rubbing books on his body and moaning like a woman as the punchline of a joke).
  • Always smells like urine, body fungal mold, shit, and cheese. Never washes his disgusting hair. Only invited him to my pool once. Never again. It wafts around him like an aura in one of the MMOs he claims to have worked on.
  • Often cheated on all homework using early predictive random generators for essays 2002 and up.
  • Cheated in game design class (I was there). Used the sample "Food Shooter" Flash Game made by the previous upperclassmen as his final by editing items (replacing items with branded products like SPAM, and KRAFT Cheese) and adding different chiptune audio to it from 2001-2002 in Mrs. M. (RIP Ms M.) Graphics Design and Flash Class for the ROP program.
  • Plagiarized the "Food Shooter" into "Champions of Breakfast" his first game released on steam, never gave credit to the original creators, never compensated the original creators.
  • Crashed his Prius into a truck on his way to hang out with his buddy who, unknowingly, would be backstabbed by him in the future and was the original creator of the "Food Shooter" that Jason would eventually Plagiarize commercially. For years he kept saying "If buddy hadn't told me to hurry up I wouldn't have gotten in the crash." showing us he wasn't just a cheater/racist/plagiarist but lacking responsibility for his own actions.
  • Is a Nepo-Baby that was fired from Blizzard on 6 separate occasions. The only reason he was ever rehired was his father putting his foot down.
  • Ran away to a Gay Furry Canadian Commune for 3 years, abandoning his fiancé, and one of his positions at Blizzard so that he could "Play Second Life with his bros, code, and suck cock lol" -Jason Hall. Actually just did script kiddy bullshit to "Crash sims because furfags should burn lol" Jason Hall.
  • Returned from his 3 year homosexual trist only to stalk his ex fiance and creep everyone back home out. Returned more racist, filled with bisexual and gay lust, turned down going to Gentleman's Clubs with actual women so he could "Raid on WoW" (actually just staring at his SL avatar dancing with gay dragon-boys).
  • Got a post at Blizzard again for QA on wall collision coding despite Proto-AI and Bots being able to do that job for free. Tried to big-dick everyone in his "Friends Circle" but no one gave a fuck.
  • Allegedly stole assets for Blizzard from "Project Titan" to use in his "Steampunk Action FPS RPG" (totally not a ripoff of Bioshock Liberty) and was given an ultimatum while "Working on Red Team". Bragged about it. I distinctly remember him saying "Some of the MILFS here store their tiddy milk in the fridge. Mmm yum yum." -Jason Hall.
  • Allegedly Accused of multiple unwanted sexual advances at Blizzard and Blizzard Events
  • Broke into his ex's gated neighborhood "Tiff" and threw rocks at her window screaming "TIFFAAAAH I LOVE YOU! COME BACK TO ME! PLEASE!" after he had abandoned her, left her to fend for herself, and went to suck cocks in Canada only to come back expecting her to roll over on him. He was threatened with calling the cops so he fagged out and found an "Online GF" to masturbate in front of.
  • Got his "Online GF" pissed off after she caught him eRPing with a minor on SL. So she posted porn of him jacking off to pornhub that he said she could "Do whatever she wanted with it" thusly granting her permission before the slight. There were witnesses to him "joking about it" and I was one of them.
  • Claimed to be a "Glow in the dark nigger" working Government Sec Ops for digital currency but never adhered to NDA considerations. Violated any and all possible security protocols on disclosure if true as he was bitching in his ventrillo that "No one believes him". The truth is:
    No one does and the government wouldn't give a white faggot like him clearance because he's already a flight risk before even signing a document.
  • Claimed he was "Doing serious hacker business for corporate accounts" but told everyone in his "close friends" that "I just use a site like https://pentest-tools.com/ and then copypasta it all to a spreadsheet and plug it into my own diagrams and flow-charts and charge like 10-40k based on how long it took lol" -Jason Hall.
  • Got his "Def Con Black Badges" by ripping off other people's "Cryptographic Puzzles" and slapping his name on it.
  • Gets pissed off when asked to see his Qualys certs and says they're "On his linkedin, you know". They are not. There are no pictures of certs beyond mention of educational institutions as provisional sources but zero actual tangible or even printed certs.
  • Makes jokes about fucking babies, roasting babies, killing babies, smashing babies and generally wishing harm upon babies and children. Has been known to say "Single dad's resent their kids because it stops them from fucking around" -Jason Hall, projecting due to his own experience with his mother abandoning him and his brother with his Middle Management father. His father "Never spanked us or anything" thus showing he has not endured the generational trauma that many of his generation have, however, his treatment was neglect and a very specific kind of mental and emotional abuse that left him to act with fatherless behavior.
  • Often sexualizes preteen and young teens "around the guys in public" just loud enough for his friends to notice it. First time it happened I stopped hanging out with him publicly but the other guys said "He does it all the time". I feel like puking every time I think of when he said "Mmm look at those lean thighs, untainted, perfect for my little nibbles!" then chittered his teeth like some kinda gay cartoon chipmunk character.
  • Actively tries to fuck any woman attached to his old "Friend group". Tiff, Tiffa, Alicia, Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Erica, Brittany, Jen, Geniv, and a dozen others have confirmed his attempts to "get them in bed after he invited them over". Most likely a psychological complex over the abandonment of his mother and his constant thirst for dick and cum while trying to establish some sort of heteronormative action to bring him from the brink of eating bussy. "The only one that would fuck him is Alicia because she fucks trannys and homos alike. I mean, I fucked her in the ass and she told me she fucked him so who am I supposed to think is lying now? Technically if he did what he said he did he indirectly sucked my dick because I was there first" -Glenn.
  • "Practices Green Magic", used to go around asking people if they'd consent to him severing body parts so he can practice his faggoty voodoo. Asked his friend if he could decapitate his 2 year-old and use his severed head for a spell to which he was told to "Get the fuck out of (his) house".
  • Often brags about how he'll one day have an army of "Child Soldiers" that he "Groomed to being his little fuckboys".
  • Calls his Ex while she's happily married with child. When she answered she gave the phone to her husband who said "Hey, Jason, heard you used to date Tiff a while back.", and Jason shit himself, babbled like an incoherent incel faggot, and hung up like the bitch-made faggot he really is.
  • Rips off "Darman" as a life coach but instead of "Life" its "In game development" and uses platitudes as a way to manipulate suggestive crowds of untrained "NEETs" to pose as some sort of Guru while simultaneously pretending to provide a platform and teach them the wrong way to go about it.
There are practically a dozen more stories and bulletpoints I've witnessed. I stayed on good terms with everyone but him. Even his "Little brother" spilled the fucking spaghetti about his insanity and trying to emulate him only to fail years after realizing he's just a toxic, weird, homosexual, digital Willy Wanka-Wannabe. You can even see it in his "Online Persona" he used to hide behind Mal-Davus as in Malevolent. It's like he's not even hiding it. I googled his name so I could block him on all media and saw this thread - had to say my piece.

This is a lot of juicy gossip, but can you substantiate any of it? I don't think you're just making it all up, but some evidence would be nice to have. Please and thank you. :)
In particular, I'm interested in any proof that Hall is lying about his certs, stole/plagiarized other people's games, and cheated to win those DEF CON Black Badges.

I googled his name so I could block him on all media and saw this thread - had to say my piece.
This board isn't indexed by Google, and you need a KF account to view threads in this board. I don't really care if you (and probably the OP) have some kind of vendetta against Hall, but you should know that Kiwi Farmers generally dislike personal army requests. Just keep that in mind.
Hall definitely seems to have lolcow potential, but I think this thread needs a little more content with evidence to back it up.
