I don’t play minecraft, and I live under a rock so, I didn’t understand the meme. TIL Notch took the good will he received from the gaming community and summarily flushed it down the toilet.
To play devils advocate,
When Notch was still a normal developer he was pretty progressive. I still remember the blog post where declared Minecraft has no distinct genders, all animals can breed with all of the same species, therefor everyone in Minecraft is gay. As a way to bash homophobes.
The chain of events as i witnessed it. And he also spoke of a few times is that money destroyed all his authentic friendships, his wife divorced him, everyone he met wanted him just for his money and he got completely isolated, also claimed to living for the most part on potato chips when on a podcast with moistcritical.
I also high suspicion from experience with other people he developed an alcohol problem which fuel his social media posts.
It’s no excuse but it is a recipe to make an otherwise decent person act in a monstrous way. Also a recipe to be easily influenceable by the wrong kids of al media.
Last i checked he took a long break from social media, and eventually came back as more sober person.
Can’t erase the fact he made some bad comments in the past. Many people seem to trow him on the same pile as Jk Rowling, who is actively and consistently doing harm. Such is far from fair.
Found the post
Notch is better than Rowling if only that he had the good sense to leave the public eye and separate himself from his work.
this happens a lot. I’ve got three circles of friends i trust and the defining characteristic is they stuck by either me or my wife when one of us was in crisis. fairweather friends are all too common when you’re successful, but it’s the ones who are there when you’re down and out that are [generally] trustworthy.
What could go wrong by taking an average dude and give them billions of dollars?
I have yet to see a billionaire that is not severely mentally ill.
Might infer that no one should be a billionaire and that capitalism was a mistake.
We should find out by giving me billions of dollars
His wife divorced him shortly after he became a billionare. Money is a disease
I know it’s a redundant statement but they became a billionaire AND became alt-right, especially in regards to their opinions towards the LGBTQ+ community. Microsoft actually scrubbed their name off of everything because of it.
It’s really sad to me because I used to really look up to them as a Minecraft obsessed teenager trying to learn to program
I remember being told that I’d become more conservative when I get out of school and start making money.
Turns out that’s just what shitty people do.
I make pretty decent money now. Fuck conservatives, fuck conservative ideals, eat the rich.
I can’t imagine a world where I ever follow such drivel.
That’s what rich people want to make normal people think.
I think it’s a disease a bit like addiction. Do heroin once and you will likely feel pretty good. Do molly a couple times a year and it will probably be enjoyable. Do either all day every day and you will be fucking miserable, but still paranoid about losing your supply. Money is pretty similar. If you look at any of the ultra rich, they are visibly immiserated and paranoid.
Give me all your money then. Get rid of your addiction.
