  I’ve also noticed this from watching his stream and the more I learn about the guy the less I like him. He seems to misrepresent and oversell himself quite a bit.

  Btw did he tell you about the time he worked at Blizzard, for the millionth time?

    The job he got through nepotism?

    He worked at Blizzard in the same way that Apple store employees work for Apple. They do, but not in the capacity that’s been implied.

      Are Apple devs even contractually allowed to say that they’re Apple devs? I swear every employee from every other company won’t shut up about it on twitter but you never hear a thing from Apple people. Have I just heen missing them?

        I know a few people who used to work for Apple. The reason a lot don’t say it though is because if you do people automatically assume you had something to do with whatever feature they don’t personally like, and you get berated about it.

      I mean isn’r it a Deltarune ripoff ?

      • dustyData@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Deltarune didn’t exist yet. It’s an undertale ripoff.

        Which is very telling, tobyfox released a whole game on his own. While this " I worked at blizzard, BTW" tool hasn’t with an (allegedly) entire company around him. He’s a grifter, he scams people around him to profit off of other’s work. That’s all he does.

        Given that it didn’t exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

  Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.

  • burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    yanderedev is always relevant

      One of the best cautionary tales for developers

    No joke, YandereDev has been making more progress than Thor on Hartbound.

• Randomgal@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Yeah but did you know he worked at Blizzard?

• underscores@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  “game dev” is a way to put it

  source
• kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  He’s been working on that game for almost a decade now, too.
