he's an inherently miserable person (like most goons) who got super lucky and wildly successful with his crappy indie game, and having a shitload of money can easily ruin someone because it basically torches any ability you may have had to form relationships with others

like if you don't have any actual struggles in your life or things you have to do, how can you forge common bonds with other people? how can you not constantly be paranoid that other people are just trying to take advantage of you? if you earn your money the harder way you can meet up with and make friends with other rich people but notch basically won the lottery in terms of the relative compensation he earned vs. the work put in

also he could just give most of his money away and get a regular job if he wants to rejoin society and be a regular person again but he wont do this and instead lurks in his comically oversized hilltop nerd lair like some kind of angry evil wizard, posessing fabulous wealth but with nothing better to do than to get into pointless slapfights on twitter

It's basically how a lot of rich employers are convinced their employees are trying to rob them, but on a social level instead. I guess he's convinced that society is trying to rob him through social liberalism or something

i dont know what he is or is not convinced of. all i know is that he's not going to be capable of dating anyone seriously without always wondering if she's more interested in his wallet than himself, because he has a tycoon's money without a tycoon's social connections. notch is an insecure goony type, this is how he thinks. his ideal lifestyle is just sitting in front of a computer most of the time anyway, he doesn't need a massive beverly hills mansion to contain his nerd cave. he'll never be happy so long as he has all this wealth, since he has no idea what to do with the wealth and the weight of it is wrecking his life. if he ever gets wise he'll give it away

It's Notch. Notch is the loser. Most people achieve little and manage to live quietly fulfilled lives. Notch had immense financial success and yet is still alone and miserable. That's the definition of loser.

It'd almost be sad if he wasn't a complete oval office.

Based on his posting and what he chooses to defend, I assume IFM has an extremely sad life and thinks $2 billion would solve all his problems, but he'd probably be just as unhappy as Notch.

You'd be better logging off 4Chan & going outside, meeting people and trying to enjoy life. Sure, if the choice is rich & miserable or poor & miserable that's an easy one to make, but it's a false choice. You can be happy & poor if you are willing to make the effort to change whatever it is that is leaving you so loving miserable that you somehow think Notch's tragic existence is something to envy.

I'm sorry, did I break all your shit? I didn't know it was yours

Money may not buy happiness, but it buys stuff that makes it easier to become happy a lot of the time.

Id buy myself a decent house, make sure my family is cared for and keep a chunk of change in savings/invest it to keep myself comfortable and I'd probably just donate most of the rest. I'm struggling to think of how I would piss away 5 million, 1.4 billion is like asking me what I'd do if I could control the universe - that sum of money is just so abstract to me.

Was it the Big One? Cause I think that was Pepsi Max. Though I think now it is no longer sponsored by any drink and is just called "The Big One", leading to many puns, which is fortunate as such tomfoolery is the only ray of happiness in a city where joy and laughter is in such short supply.

But on the other hand you literally can't rob him because he's got infinite money.

It doesn't matter if other people want my money if I have more of it than anyone could ever spend.

Trump is proof that success does not mean good.

EDIT:

Also, anyone here who says they would willingly give up their wealth to charity is lying through their teeth or highly delusional. Just like 99 percent of people you will find any excuse to keep most of the wealth and feel cozy about throwing a few coppers away. People don't need 3 villas, a Yatch, personal airplane etc. They just have all those things because they can't bear to part with wealth that came into their possession. This will never change, we should definitely tax the super rich.

I had to look her name up off of Descent of Man-O-Sphere, but the haircut + her nose are a dead give away. Not calling her ugly or the like, just it's very distinctive. Don't worry though, she's as ugly on the inside as you'd expect from an MRA.
