Groovelord Neato posted:I don't feel any empathy for Notch frying his brain so he's indistinguishable from a NEET living in his parents' basement specifically because he has functionally unlimited money. I mean, I've got empathy for notch. I understand how painful it can be for long time friendships to end, and what being lonely is like. everyone he worked with at mojang hated him now, and that probably legitimately hurts. What I don't have is even one shred of sympathy, because if he ever bothered to try to shut his useless nazi mouth for like a second he might have anyone to share his billions with, and that's funny as poo poo. Understanding exactly how painful it is absolutely makes it even funnier

It is amazing how no tech millionaire seems to get that you're supposed to bankroll all your friends getting 7k do nothing jobs to keep them hanging out with you, after you get rich. Then again it's plausible notch never had real friends, only people who tolerated him.

If I had notch money I would have my own private movie theater my own arcade and pimball collection and every video game and transformer figure ever created and 1000000000000000000000 lego to build to my hearts content. I sure as hell would not be on twitter anymore lol But what does Notch do with it? Buy a ton of candy that goes bad because he has no one to eat it all with since he's such a sad sack of crap so he just whines on Twitter all day about the big mean essjaydubyas. What a pathetic waste. Some people are always and will always be miserable because of their own lovely views and outlook on life.

It's that and the image of him sitting on his yacht getting red, mad and possibly nude online getting yelled at on a reddit AMA. And it's like...just log off and enjoy your obscene wealth. Jesus.

Remember that AGDQ where someone donated 10k, and everyone started cheering, and then the announcer said it was Notch, and the cheers died out immediately?

I remember AGDQ trying their best to kind of make it not sound like a huge insult to him, but he stopped donating after that. Plus it was pointed out soon after while that’s a lot for the average person it’s pennies to him.

If you've got ~$5K in your bank account and you donate $5 to AGDQ, you've donated 0.1% of your total wealth. And based on a lot of the donation messages, many have a lot less than $5K kicking around. Notch donating $10,000 of his roughly $1.7B is 0.00058% of his total wealth.

Before Notch went full alt-right, he actually did some of the thing you guys might think an online billionaire would do. He hung out in some of the twitch streams I did, donated a ton of money, flew the streamers out to his home or flew out to them. I don't know if he still does this but with a different crowd or what

Probably now it's the nazi ones who got kicked off twitch for saying the n-word. We're lucky he's a terminally online manchild, as if he were a committed fascist instead of the shitpost kind, he could be funding reactionary groups and insurgents around the world like the Mercers and Peter Thiel probably do.

I forget where I read it but there was a really interesting post I saw years back from somebody who worked as an aide for a variety of rich people, and broke out how once you hit certain dollar amounts life and spending habits just completely change. And I think it was around a billion where they were all "at this level of wealth you basically cannot have normal interactions or relationships because everything is about your money. Also you stop hearing the word 'no' because you're probably paying to surround yourself with people who are always going to suck your dick no matter what." I've got zero sympathy for Notch or anybody with that level of obscene wealth, but I can see how it breaks ones brain. Particularly if you suddenly come into that level of wealth.

He burned his bridges with former friends at Mojang and quickly realized he doesn't fit in with the rich Beverly Hills types he tried to be part of since he's an awkward nerd and not someone raised in money. At one time he probably could've at least thrown himself into the philanthropist crowd but he pissed that away too.

I think they did a study where the level of wealth where people are most happy is roughly in the 80 to 130 a year (in pounds I think) range. The kind of money where you don't really ever have to worry and you can afford some luxuries, a nice house and holidays but are certainly not buying multiple boats or whatever. Anything above that just begins to make you more miserable. I do think with the crazy wealthy people like Hedge Fund managers it's an addiction, they don't even think in terms of what they can use the money to buy, they just like to see the number go up.

I do wonder if Notch didn't get lovebombed by alt-right types after becoming alienated from regular human life.

I saw someone post that here in SA, actually. Can't remember where, might've been here even.

I found Nerrel through Super Eyepatch Wolf and I really like the videos that breakdown motion controls and the gaming public's reception to it. The original video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=binPB4YbWmM Addressing responses to the video above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ0xDRkC8LI His most recent video that's slightly touches on motion by exploring Star Fox Zero and the Wii U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxxxsmIEolI I mostly liked them because it justifies the hundreds of hours I poured into the CoD Wii ports

when I was much younger, and played the first Minecraft release, I loved reading his blogs. he gave some cool insights to how he was building the game, and he had some fun proof of concept gamejam games I would mess around with. I can't say I looked up to him, exactly, but I definitely did want to be a programmer like him. was very weird when, years after I payed attention to Minecraft or Notch, I noticed he was very widely hated.

Didn't he try to throw parties and nobody came? I mean, I wouldn't go to a party at Notch's, especially if I had the money his neighbors do. I'd just ride my solid gold rhino around the back yard or something.

Yeah, thanks. I think that post goes off the rails at some points but it does a good job of putting in perspective just how much loving money a billion dollars is and how it just fundamentally changes how you live and how others interact with you, even friends and family.

The point about how it literally buys you extra time stuck with me. Never having to make appointments and being able to just bend other peoples' schedules without even having to ask. My sister is pretty well off, somewhere middle class to upper middle class, and she ran into it when she was talking to her boss about trips to Disneyworld. She lurks on mom forums and stalks Disney stuff to find out how to get into cool things at Disney and which ones you have to call into months in advance. He waltzs in and just tells the (well-tipped) concierge at the resort that his daughter would like to go to the princess breakfast or character thing X and she gets in.

The one that blew my mind was.. I think it's called boutique medicine. We're back to doctors making house calls except it costs a fortune and also the level of care you get is ridiculous.

I'm actually surprised there haven't been more deep dives on that era of USA Network television. It was a huge thing for a couple of years.
