Ex president attacking current president. What does secret service do?

He's always kinda worn being a shithead on his sleeve, it wouldn't surprise me if he's starting to chill out and outgrow being edgy. I get the vibe Carmack's aging in reverse.

Romero went on a stream with Carmack a bit ago but that was just as some "we used to work together as important video game dudes" deal and I doubt he agrees with Carmack's questionable views. Romero seems pretty chill.

yeah, i have never quite known how much faith to put into that particular line because it simply doesn't scan to me that you could have one of the strongest brands in your field and simply not be checking up on how people are using it. especially when you are paying them huge bags of money.

ultimately it doesn't matter, though. even if he personally designed it and is lying about it in hindsight, it wouldn't really change that much. i'd trust him less because i am severely distrustful of liars in general, but it wouldn't change:
1) his quiet period afterward where he clearly internalized the criticism he received
2) the personal journey he took to re-discover his own roots and his place in the world
3) the thoughtful way he connected that to encouraging and helping others
4) the consistent kindness and intelligent, nuanced empathy he has shown over the last 10 or so years

compare to carmack becoming a billionaire-worshipping toady that will say or do whatever you want as long as you let him chase whatever absurd tech he has poo poo out this month and yeah, it's not hard to make the call on which one ended up as the Good John of iD.

yeah I'm guessing it was early enough in his career that he was forced to correct himself to survive, and learned from his mistakes

and it was before social media where rich/famous people tend to react to criticism by retreating into the arms of whoever still accepts them (shitheads)

it could be all him and he just lied about it.. but also he was pretty young and probably just trusted the marketing folks that that line would work.

i'm not really committed one way or another about it.. i think we're agreeing to the overall thought in that he became the less douchey of the Johns. especially considering carmack barely said poo poo about anything outside of game engine or rocket tech.

by accounts it sounds like he was pretty chill pre doom massive success times as well, so makes sense that just having a bit of a wake up call was all he'd need to chill out again.

yea to be 100% clear romero is the Good John of iD

even if you want to assume he lied about the marketing campaign, i don't see how that changes anything. romero's still cool and has been for a long time.
