He has skin in the game and is upset he and his daddy can't lobby Europe to unfuck himself.

My only regret posting here is not realizing at first that he and his daddy can lobby Europe through Video Games Europe. Here's to hoping they fail.

Everyone was (or maybe still is) worried about botting, but doesn't a EU ID have hidden algorithms on it? Like how if you just guess random numbers on a credit card input you'll never get anywhere. If not, why not check for this?

Came for the mana gems, stayed for the code reviews, subscribed to laugh at lolbertarians impotently malding when SKG made it to a million. What a thread.

Linux developers in particular need to learn these lessons.

Linux users in general. Have you not seen how they will tear each others skin over which distro they use? I worked at blizzard use Arch btw.

From what little I've seen of his dad, he seems normal. Is there anything bad about him out there?

 

[DefinitelyNotMe]

he ended up looking darkest dungeonish

 

[Hooked on phobics]

His Russian translator is not doing work because he can't pay him because of sanctions and stuff, such a lolcow

What, he can't do bitcoin or something??

he ended up looking darkest dungeonish

you say that like its a bad thing

 

[1983 Opel Kadett]

Sales numbers, update probably not coming today either (read ↑)

Apparently the update was so shit that he has to write atleast another 9 hours

How and why does he have 17 employees holy shit. Also why is his business model to scam people in to buying a game forever in early access


E:
Apperently he's going to spend a million on his ferret hoard, seems like a sensible thing to do in his current position

It is very rare for a pun to work across 2 languages and I personally cannot think of any off the top of my head to use as an example of this.

Not a pun pls don't crucify me with downboats r/askreddit!! but really close: There's another 100 points to Gryffindor Toby Fox because Deltarune Ch. 3+4 has a stupid joke that works in both English and Japanese simultaneously. The brainrotted YouTube Poop miniboss uses "long" to refer to time, but after a few turns, he uses "long" to refer to length. Both English and Japanese share this property, so the joke was basically just translated directly.

 

[Frightened Rabbit]

He often brags about paying his translators well, so he doesn't do it himself.

I fucking hope he does, if I had to translate this piece of shit? I'd probably quit the project without taking the money.
Reason for this is that, the way he coded his dialogue system is that each dialogue window is a new script with a new array with the phrases, so you're going to have to sift through loads of different scripts, it's horrifying.

I honestly don't believe it. This just sounds like an elaborate excuse to keep streaming and probably paying his "employees" less or at least shutting down any attempt of raise.

I say this purely by the fact that he lies about everything, so why would I believe he's going to spend 1 million on a shady rescue? Unless he's trying to commit fraud or something.

17 paid jannies is 17 too many.

It's not registered as a rescue nor a charity. It's his personal pet collection and his goal is to have hundreds of them.

"Finishing Heartbound doesn't keep them employed"

This guy has to be ACTUALLY DERANGED. You know how you keep your fans and employees happy? FINISHING YOUR FUCKING GAME AND MOVING ONTO A NEW ONE. Not a single person on planet fucking Earth wants to keep working on a project for 10 FUCKING YEARS. No one is invested in a project for 10 FUCKING YEARS. No one wants to pay for something for 10 FUCKING YEARS. You are now stuck with this amalgamation of absolute edgelord-dreck that your 28-year-old self made up just to keep your "employees" "employed"? They want to fucking kill themselves for choosing this "job", where the head developer doesn't even fucking work on it and just plays Dune all day. You know what happens when you keep working on games for that long? You get Anthems and Duke Nukem Forevers, those do well, clearly! Clinically-fucking-deranged behavior.

 

[Not Yet Implemented]

I was reading The World of Warcraft Diary by John Staats, and found a funny coincidence. In the chapter titled Lore:

Originally, Chris [Metzen] was hired as an artist/animator. When Joeyray Hall (longtime cinematics guru at the company) first saw Chris’s portfolio, he insisted the company hire him that day.

So Joeyray was possibly responsible for Chris Metzen's hire. A little bit further down:

Anyone who knows Chris Metzen knows that he knows comics (his favorite superhero is Thor). From the baseboard to the ceiling, his office was covered with autographed comic book posters, replicas, and illustrations—as if someone dropped a Thor-bomb in his workspace, covering everything with red, blue, and yellow.

It's probably ultimately irrelevant to Jason. There's only one other mention of Joeyray in the book, so there probably isn't any new Mald lore.

It really can't get any funnier than this. What do you expect him to do? Spend his newfound fortune on finishing the game that tons of people have paid for? LOL

It's very obvious that Heartbound was a means to an end for him to fund his ferret "rescue" and now that he has obtained the money for that through streaming he no longer has any personal motivation to finish his game. It all comes back to him being a disgusting degenerate furry.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

I do very much liked everyone blaming Pirate Software for being the reason Ross did not do anything with his campaign for months on end until the last second.

It gives me great joy seeing the only reason it succeeded was pure spite and not because anyone actually cared about it and just hated Figtree that much.

I wish this wasn't true, but you are correct.
At least people were made more aware of it because everyone hates his fucking guts

He's like the Ken McElroy of game development.

Does anyone know if there is any other combat in his game? I have never seen anything other than that

PreserveTube |

on his Steampage it says, there are multiple enemys and weapons, but never seen any. It is probably an abandoned feature in his walking simulator
View attachment 7625612

The playthroughs of his game I've loosely watched. It genuinely looked like the puzzles were literally just walk to a point flip a switch then walk back.
That or do them in a rudimentary order of like 3 switches at most.

I didn't watch very closely but it was just the most basic shit that looked more like padding or a skyrim dungeon puzzle.

, but the DOL grant was for their work with the DMV

AHAHAHAHAHA So when I called him a prickhead who works at the DMV with his ticketing system for reports, I WAS SPOT ON?

Puns do not translate across languages. It is very rare for a pun to work across 2 languages and I personally cannot think of any off the top of my head to use as an example of this. Let alone, making a pun work across 6 different languages? Nigga how fucking dumb do you think we are? You really mean to tell me you have such an intimate understanding of translation that you can find equivalent wordplay across all those different translations? On the fly? Before the story is even completed? Fuck ALL the way off.
