I mean he's not comparing his life to anyone else's. Everyone can be sad once in a while, I don't know why when a rich person is, it's like they're rubbing it in the faces of poor people?

the difference is that it's not genuine SADNESS like "yeah, I just remembered about my sister, she died 2 years ago :(" I doubt people itt would throw poo poo on notch for feeling sad like this

instead he's coming across as a whiny baby, if you're sad because your friends can't hang out all the time because they have stuff to do then maybe... you should follow the flow and just go find something to do? whoa some deep life lessons coming from the symbolic butt here

First thing Notch did when he got enough money was hire people to do his work for him. I don't think he's coded on Minecraft in years.

he and the other two mojang cofounders also never ever gave any equity of any of the employees, so they were the only three people to make money from the microsoft sale

(the employees were guaranteed 2 years salary if they agreed to stay on, even if they were laid off)

if he's lacking meaning in a life characterized by sitting around waiting for people to party or flying back and forth between whatever scandanavian shithole he lives in and LA maybe he should find a purpose in helping others with his billions of dollars. I have no sympathy for any piss streak like this dude. gently caress him

if you're happy why does it matter. living in a van wouldn't suck becuase you're happy with it. u fuckwit.

dude has enough to indulge in any material experience he wants for the rest of his life

if he wants to talk, he can hire the best therapists

if he wants to hang, he can hire the best escorts/rope

but he realizes how fake those are, and instead wants to talk and hang with people who knew him before he had everything

but they cant talk and hang all day

they have bills to pay and lives to live

so the poor nerd who sat alone becomes the rich nerd who sits alone

maybe notch should buy a basketball team
