Hated his life working at his game dev company

Not even in the slightest.

people

All his friends hate him of what he did for money.

Can't make new friends that aren't fake due to having money.

Can't get a gf because they'd either be fake due to money, or they'd be scared of that.

Can't talk to anyone because they'd point out at his money and be envious.

Literally all of his problems are due to money, hilarious. Well it's more really what he did to get the money, but yeah.

>Notch on leaving Mojang: 'It's not about the money. It's about my sanity'

ok so it wasn't about the money and we all know money doesn't buy you happiness or make you sane

he left and it seems like his sanity is still messed up

now that he is a fucking billionaire it's going to be really difficult to find women (or male friends) that take him serious yet alone genuinely love him

he's going to feel like every women that talks to him is after his money, and that every guy wants to be bros with him is just because of the money

notch fucked up either way, i don't know the guy or the situation at mojang but i'm just going to assume he was better off staying at mojang rather than selling it, taking the money, leaving, burning bridges with his friends/employees

you're right, he actually 'started' a dev company called rubberbrain and hasn't done shit with it

how long until he spends his money on hookers, blow, and overdose because of depression?

I'd be depressed if I was childless at 37 years old.

You're materialistic until it hits you money is fucking useless if you have no purpose in your life. Sure he can spend all his time in vacation doing fun things, but what makes all these things great is doing them with your kids. Otherwise you're just a rich manchild, therefore a fucking failure at life.

Can't imagine being a billionaire and having time for such BS, let alone Twitter-shitpositng. You can like change the world with that much money for a few times lol.

Children are a parasite. This dude is living the dream honestly. All he needs are some IRL drinking buddies who aren't miserable fucks.

He just typical fat nerd without any ambitions.
He was lucky, that's it.
And already lost half of his money due to his own stupidity.

...

Talked with your parents. They agree with you

>no reasons to keep trying
I hate him so much. You can do anything you wanted, no fear of fail. Create anything.
But nope, too lazy for that.

if you know what'll make you happy and money gets you that, why wouldn't it make you happy

>have kids
>waste his millions on them
>they grow up and try to steal more of his millions

He already had a shit wife who cucked him at the right time for her to still get a monthly cut of his riches and she did it entirely on purpose, kids would only make it worse.

he's a dumb fedoralord, he could move to Thailand, hit the gym and find bros easily, nobody would know who he is and he'd have a blast with the women.

>IRL drinking buddies who aren't miserable fucks
He is 37 years old, not a college freshman. He would be a miserable fuck just having "drinking """"buddies"'""" (ie alcoholic loser friends taking advantage of his wealth to drink for free) at 37 years old.

Just face it, the only people who aren't his parents and could unconditionally and genuinely love him would be his kids. Nobody will ever love him except for his money.

>wins at life
>has no true problems
>has to invent some to seem like a victim
I am sure his life is all struggles and pain.

If he wanted friends and a GF he just has to to change his name and act like a "normal" person.

>have a bunch of money
>sit on your ass shitposting on Twitter
I legitimately don't understand him. I would travel the world, go exploring, do a whole bunch of shit. There's a lot of activities to do when rich, and he's wasting all of his opportunities. At least invest in something cool like space or robotics or something.

>have the money to do anything he wants with his life.
>he can go anywhere around the world, meet people and try out new stuff.
>instead moans on twitter that he doesn't know what to do now.

Some people are just lost fucking causes. Too dumb to reason with.

>Thailand
>women

>And already lost half of his money due to his own stupidity.

source?

he has irl drinking buddies, they are just other famous and e-famous, drinking is like putting a bandaid over your problems, once youre sober them problems are back again

he needs to rejoin mojang, which i highly see him doing

i remember reading him saying 'minecraft' was like his baby, and he sold it, all of it

You can't buy life experiences that will make you feel proud of yourself as a person.

Is that a problem?

I'd respect him more if he just sat around doing coke off of a ladyboy's dick in Thailand. Holy fuck you're a billionaire, act like it, no one cares about you problems.

the obvious solution would be to DO something WORTHWHILE with his boo-hoo-i'm-soooo-rich money

instead of moping around crying about feels on twitter because your $9billion platinum-coated Skittles dispenser didn't make your pathetic Ha Ha I'm Rich life any more bearable

like shit. give a suitcase full of cash to a library so kids can read there. pay for a school to take them someplace nice for a field trip. fucks sake

only someone who never had to struggle will say that

You don't need to be a billionaire but affording bills and being able to eat stuff that isn't shit helps.

>source
He was married and divorced. Plus swedish cuck laws.
It was hilarious.

Someone's never been poor

Yes you can.
Money gives you the freedom to do those things and experience what you want when you want with no worries of financial limitations.
If you're poor you can't do shit. You're shackled down and forced to spend your limited time doing shit you don't want to just to survive.

do you really expect anything more from a swede?

then make me a multi-millionaire and I'll gladly prove you, and everyone who thinks that, wrong

Life is all about contrast. High and lows, you feel accomplisment after a job well done, and you feel joy after being freed from suffering.

With too much money life becomes one note. You don't have to work, you don't need to suffer, you can buy yourself out of everything. And when life is nothing but happiness, happiness loses all meaning.

Variety is the spice of life.

Life is a journey of pain and suffering, that's human nature. There's nothing wrong with constant hate, people just give apologies because society

>implying 50% of the Thai population isn't women
kys

Why doesn't he just get a Japanese girlfriend?

That was before the billions. What he lost was chump change compared to what he has now.

"Children are parasites, I'm glad I'm childfree and that succubi won't interfere with my deadlifting"
-fat, unhappy, balding Cred Forumstard attempts to relate to multi-millionaire

"Women".

>Being rich means you have no variety in life

Nothing in this world can make you happy. You learn how to become happy by focusing on things that never fade and are good without qualification, such as a good will and a kindly disposition. The wealthiest man is always the one who wants the least.

He could fucking ask some old money dude how they do it then. Rich people have been marrying other rich people since the beginning of civilization, there's probably some secrets on how to keep your money intact. The problem with the nouveau riche is they act like they're the only ones with these problems, grow the fuck up. Notch isn't the only rich person in the world, it's ok to ask for advice.

>Children are parasites, I'm glad I'm childfree and that succubi won't interfere with my deadlifting

I am poor. Still, I don't see myself without children by that age, and if it happens for a reason, I'll most likely commit suicide.

As much as i want to say you riped that off some shit emo band, I do agree.

Choose any girl, just do not marry.
This simple.

I'm a very simple man, and that's why I have a very clear idea what would make me happy.

>western women

>there's probably some secrets on how to keep your money intact
Step 1. Don't get married.
Step 2. ???

Too a lot of filthy rich people? Totally.

Think about all those games you have in your Steam Library you don't feel like playing, applied to life in general.

the point of nouveau riche is that you act """the way rich people act""", which is buying a gigantic house and buying twelve cars

which is fucked-up. like the goal of having loadsamoney is to spend it all as quickly as possible. get out of here man

>He can live in a brothel and have hundreds of women at his whim for centuries with that type of money.

>what the fuck is wrong with this guy?
He's a piece of shit.

where's the profit?

>Choose any girl, just do not trust them
Then what's the point? This is why heteros will never understand what it means to have real companionship.

t. normie who ruined his life and is now trying to push vapid cunts onto others by making them feel bad
f-fucking virgins haha losers!

>the most kindhearted in the whole world

somehow, i doubt that

He's a neckbeard with money, they aren't very good with these things. Most richfags are also socialfags, a lot of other neckbeard tier richfags lucked out and had loving wives too even before getting rich or just didn't marry, or are literal faggots. Try to find another neckbeard richfag that got away with marriages and divorces while keeping his riches intact, any bitch that falls for him now will be entirely for his money.

This stupid fuck could be banging 10/10 escorts, seeing the world, etc. every day for the rest of his life and yet he doesn't do anything with it. All he does is sit in his home and watch his money sit there. He doesn't even invest it, buy businesses, or anything. He could be paying dividends, making jobs for other people, fueling the economy, but no, he's dead-fucking-weight.

I mean, fuck, he could hire a personal trainer to slim his fat ass, have a bunch of surgery to get rid of any unsightly parts, but no, he's a boring, dumb Swede with no ambition whatsoever.

>Cred Forums is getting venomous about 'normies' and 'cucks again
>Cred Forums is hating women again
you can tell because of the things they say

I think he means get married and keep the money if she decides to file for her payout.

>just do not trust them
>marry
Are you a woman. Because marry someone do not give rich man any benefits.

20 dollars is pretty painful to wipe your ass with

But I do play steam games all the time and enjoy them, user.
I only stop when I have to go out and work at a job I don't want to because I'm not rich.

lmao at this fat depressed faggot. when is he gonna end his life and is he going to stream it?

ITT poorfags sharing facebook motivational horseshit about wealth not bringing happiness to convince themselves they aren't that miserable

wsj.com/articles/can-money-buy-happiness-heres-what-science-has-to-say-1415569538

Keep dreaming.

Materialism can't make you truly happy. It'll only make you happy for a couple of weeks at most.

But it does give his partner benefits if he were to pass away or get ill. Refusing to marry somebody means you don't trust them not to divorce you and try to take half, which means you aren't even really their friend let alone their partner.

the thing i'm taking away from all this is, notch isn't someone to look up to.

Are you so fucking sheep that you NEED other people to tell you to do something before you challenge yourself? Fucking pathetic

Money gets you freedom and time. Both of those equal happiness. I'm sorry you're dead inside and would get bored if it wasn't for the 8 hours a week shitty job you have

than guess what I'll do after those week passes

>Guy is a fucking billionaire
>Lol look how dumb he is I am so much more intelligent.

You have to get married to have kids and pass on your legacy. If I was a billionaire I'd try to start an old money family, I would make smart investments and make sure my name was remebered 200 years from now.

pic is pretty true though. not universal, but true enough for a generalization

The things that can actually make a person happy never require money. Happiness doesn't depend on outside circumstances, if it does it can't be called actual happiness.

>does give his partner benefits
It is his money, his.
If you love him, you do not need his money, so no need to marry.
End of story.

Who said we hate women? we love them, we just don't trust them.

Killing yourself?

Why are Cred Forums's perma-angry NEETs now upset at another, more successful NEET?

There actually is a correlation with income/wealth and happiness but it cuts off at like 250k a year

>>Lol look how dumb he is
But it is true.
Minecraft was a fluke.
He tried another games, nothing worked, nothing.

If you become a billionaire you should work one day a week at McDonald's to remind yourself how great it is to be rich.

fine, then look at it this way, if I gain happiness by helping others, I'll be able to help others without limitation.

Step 0: Get a vasectomy

>tfw your happiness is a 7.4 but feels like a 5.1
feels 3.0 d00d ha ha happiness is quantifiable

It's bizarre that people are whining about women being golddiggers ITT, let's be honest, could Notch actually get a women who WASN'T a golddigger? He's a fat, autistic neckbeard who whines every day on Twitter and plays video games all day. What does Notch actually have to offer someone besides his money?

>get $2bil
>waste them on a shitty house and an army of vapid leeches
>doesn't travel around the world, seeing things and fucking supermodels
Something's wrong with this guy, I tell you what

> willingly castrating yourself

Money is not a replacement for friends. He may be rich, but he's still a lonely fucker just like us.

I hope he can.

you are operating under the assumption that Cred Forums knows what a woman is, let alone their feelings or thoughts or wants or dreams or anything at all really

women. what are women? women are beautiful and strange, thus to be feared and reviled and it's cool and good and normal to masturbate to anime children instead. good. i'm glad

who needs friends when you got money and food

if I was notch, I would buy all the dank weed I can and just be stoned 24/7.

What are you talking about, he tried to make like what, two other games? They both failed.

When you're that fucking rich it destroys any chance at a normal relationship.

I'm gonna let you in on some life secrets mate
none of those things are interesting unless you have genuine company ,ever go to a movie by yourself, fucking blows m8 now imagine going around the world. jesus that would suck cocks

now imagine having 2 billion dollars and like you were saying with the vapid leeches bit trying to find good company

think man think

>has money to change his name and face and any other part of his body
>people on Cred Forums thinks he could not shead the "fat autistic neckbeard" shit in half a year
Money buys everything on this planet.

because he can be a NEET for the rest of his life while I eventually have to get a job

as an incel fifty-five year old anonymous, here is why women are to blame for my entire life being fucked-up. number one, my preschool teacher Mrs Fitzsimmons never encouraged me to be my best and socialize. number two, my neighbour Ms Burgess told me off when i was four for riding my bike on the path. number three,

There's no guarantee that your money won't do more harm than good. The outcome isn't what you should be looking toward for happiness. The good will you cultivated through studying and improving yourself that makes you WANT to help people in the first place is what makes you happy. The money and the amount of things you can do with it are irrelevant, because the final outcome of your endeavors is out of your control. The only thing that belongs to you is your character and your good nature, and that's where happiness lives and has always lived in every human being.

i'm sorry i fucked up my life, it's someone else's fault. women, probably. maybe the jews?
-pol/r9k

how is this fucking twitter screencap thread video game related?

It's more like you ask people if they're generally happy, content or unhappy and you average that together.

Low income families and individuals are far more likely to report being unhappy than those with middling or high incomes.

In all honesty.

Literally all of my problems could be solved, or at least mitigated, if I just had more money.

Did the staff end up getting a piece of the deal or did they not get any shares from Notch? I think I would commit sudoku if I didn't get any shares from a start up that blew up and git bought out.

If you became fabulously wealthy, you wouldn't shitpost between lines of cocaine?

He should buy loads of property. Probably the best and most fulfilling thing to do as an billionaire. Everything else is just a more expensive version of the tat we already buy. Like cars, you can buy a powerful sports car that can do 0-60 in seconds, but watch me roll up next to you at the next set of lights in my nissan cube.

i'd buy Cred Forums and redirect the whole thing to tumblr, just to annoy people i don't like

alright fine, but you need to admit that having money helps when trying to find true happiness

Notch was a game developer. His #1 passion was making games. That was his life, he wanted to make games that people would enjoy. He didnt care about seeing the world or fucking hoes, he wanted to make art. It must feel like shit trying to make something and the whole time knowing it will always be overshadowed by fucking Mineshaft. I think at some point he looked at the sales for Scrolls and the other game he made, and thought, "wow, no matter how hard I try my legacy as a dev will be autistic children making song parodies about fucking Mineraft".
Im pretty sure it wasn't actually Minecraft that made him depressed, it was Scrolls. Im pretty sure the reason he doesn't have children is because he doesn't want them to be cursed as just being "the son of the guy who made minesweeper 2.0"

if he's so sad why doesn't he just give away his wealth

In five years, notch is going to be ripped as fuck.

Somebody take a screencap of this post and repost it on 2021-09-25 18:00 GMT. You'll see that I was right.

>Notch buys Cred Forums
>sells it to Microsoft

They wouldn't at all. Once those problems are solved you'd just run into more, because the root problem can only be solved by finding contentedness on the inside.

It depends entirely on your personality, I know plenty of people who do shit solo (including travel the world) and have the time of their lives and I know some people who won't do anything without hanging with someone (even going to the mall and shit).

>Low income families and individuals are far more likely to report being unhappy than those with middling or high incomes.
correlation = causation. gotcha

He's not unhappy because of the money. He's unhappy because he lacks drive and willpower.

He could literally get dedicate an entire year getting into shape so nobody could recognize him and then people to go out and mingle with people who can't recognize him. Then he just has to be smart enough to not let people realize he's fucking loaded. He can form actual friendships and shit.

But he lacks the willpower. It's sad. He has been given the ability to achieve the maximum amount of human happiness but can't because he's lazy.

You make your own happiness with the tools your given. Notch is the guy whose given a literal warehouse full of tools but instead of doing anything he sits in the middle of the warehouse bitching about how unhappy he is

>fucking supermodels
If the money runs out, so do they. Also rape allegations and all sorts of schemes.

not at all, I have a blast going on my own, not to mention that you always end up encountering fellow travelers if you actually want company and having zero money issues makes it even better.

>all these shit excuses as to why money wouldn't make me happy

You're all full of shit and all you answer are mad up of faulty logic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐if you don't reply to this post in 5 seconds this thread will get deleted ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So, what would you do if you were Notch?

Money is intrinsically worthless. What matters is what you can create.

Me, I'd become a major publisher. And what I'd create would be late 90s games. If it couldn't run on a mid-end rig in the 90s, I wouldn't give you a fucking dime.

The goal would be multiple 10-20 man studios working on a single vision under a director with an idea. Bring back the diversity of genres we once had, instead of a million fucking walking simulators that are tested to breaking point by invalids so nobody can get stuck.

300k each as a one time payment. They were also guaranteed the opportunity to become Microsoft employees with a high salary.

Wow, it's literally a nothing post.

It's like winning the lottery. Once you do it, people you don't even know recognize you.

All it takes is one picture on Reddit, and your new persona is ruined.

The thing is, sometimes the things you want don't cost money and are unattainable just using money, and having money can even take those things away from you.

Like meaningful friends. Sometimes that's literally all people want and need, and when you're a billionaire it's probably hard to find people who are that.

It sounds cheesy as fuck but it's true. No number of billions of dollars is going to make the people around him actually meaningfully care about him and without that, the cars and houses are meaningless hollow fucking garbage.

If I had his money I would immediately become a hermit, avoid exposing myself to typical rich people shit and would decide who in my life actually gives a shit about me, and then give them enough so they'd never have to work and then bro out with them.

working gives people something to do and keep them occupied

when you don't have something to do and stay occupied, all that's left is for their true, real personalities to float to the surface instead. like drinking, only without the hangover.

Only 300k, reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Should have had more shares.

>american divorce laws are universal
she didn't get shit

why the fuck would microsoft want anything to do with 4chin

It's all poorfags have, shitty generic motivational quotes that server as their poorfag hugbox they retreat to, instead of doing something to stop being poor.

>Alienate your day 1 friends

BAWW WHY I SO RONRY

it's all womens' fault that Sad Fat Unhappy Billionaire is sad and fat, somehow

That's good but notch made a couple billion. He could have given his employees 10 mil each easily

must be reaaaaall nice on that high horse you got there

t. triggered poorfag.

He had 2 BILLION dollars.

He could learn how to disguise himself. He could get surgery. He could do so many things to hide his identity. He could move to bum fuck nowhere.

Fuck, you could even make it a fucking game.

"Where in the world is Notch?" where you try and get people to catch you.

Nothing can be ruined with that amount of money. Notch just lacks the personality to enjoy it.

>looks down length of nose at people wondering what they'd do with a hundred million smackeroos
ugh. fucking plebes. gross. ugh.

>travel around the world
why do so many people see this as the epitome of life?

I know you really want to believe the money can't make you happy myth but at some point you've really got to reevaluate your world view.

Money can make you happier. It's certainly not the only factor but it certainly has a powerful effect on it up to a point. Which in the US is around 250k a year. If you're not making 250k a year you would likely be happier if you did, but if you're already making 250k a year and then make 300 or 400k it's not going to change much.

It helps insofar as it can give you valuable resources like books and the time to study them, but that only takes a very modest amount and it's by no means necessary. Epictetus learned how to be happy as a slave, and when he had earned his freedom he lived the rest of his days in a plain hut with a cooking pit and a lantern with no other possessions, and there isn't anyone I would call happier or more content than him. Even when his lantern was stolen, he didn't let it disrupt his inner peace.

Male "friends" can be gold diggers too

I think he means that whatever you do, making a game, starting a business, becoming an part time painter, etc. will have no pressure to have to make enough money to live and anything that flat out fails, he can just move on to something else.

That doesn't make ant sense retard. Notch owned the company, why would the staff get anything if he sells it And yes he did give them some shit.

If you're so shallow that money would make you happy, it'd be incredibly fleeting.

If I had a few million in the bank tomorrow, nothing would really change. I have most of the stuff I want. I'd say the overall lifetime increase in happiness would be around 2 points on a 100 point scale, with the short-term as I buy a few things being a 5 point gain.

I'd be ecstatic if i didn't have the pressure of poverty looming over me, fuck you

for a started the dumb cunt should delete his twitter account and enjoy life instead.

It's just one of those things people do user.

Because a vast majority of people don't see more than maybe 10% of the world in their lifetime. Even holidays abroad you don't see much.
With money you can go see it all and people say that traveling enriches the soul.

i think the only way it's been talked about so far in this thread as 'drinking buddies'

i just thought that was kind of revealing that these threads always go down the route of how women are all succubi, children are parasites, yadda yadda yadda. very little mention of how dudes can be vicious/sly as fuck y'know

Notch doesn't have a bff? Someone who is a loyal bro and has put his life on the line to help him?

there would be no company left if he did that

>Tfw you'd be okay with being either of the people in this picture

as I see there is probably no way to convince you otherwise, I will reply to you one last time.
It might be true that some people are able to find peace and happiness without the aid of materialistic things, going around and claiming that materialistic things doesn't give a man happiness and peace is just delusional, everyman is different and have different desires, to claim to have such deep understanding of the human mind to make a carpet claim like that is just plain delusional.

>I have most of the stuff I want
and this why you dont see the benefit of being rich. the mere benefit of not having to worry about anything financially is a huge load off the mind.

he's also on twitch all day

what else is there to do?

They're right. Whether or not you're happy depends entirely on your outlook and disposition. A million dollars won't fix a negative attitude, in fact it would probably just amplify things and make them even worse.

Is he really the kind of guy would get recognized everywhere anyway? Like if he went to a bar in Chicago would he really have people yelling and screaming about it? I highly doubt it, maybe a few times a year some nerd would say something and most people wouldn't connect that he's a billionaire from it.

Yeah he's rich, but I think if you looked a the list of billionaires you'd be surprised how many you've never even heard of that probably walk around with relative anonimity.

A sports athlete, movie star, etc that are worth far less will get far more recognition anywhere.

If you have the pressure of poverty looming over you, you clearly fucked up at life.

As a basic fact, you could live with your parents for the next 20 years, easily. It gets a little harder into your 60s, but still do-able.

If you live in a dogshit country where you make 2 cents an hour, why didn't you learn a fucking skill and move to a real one?

Usually early employees in a startup can get shares of a company if they do more than just 9-5 code monkey

The CEO and some other guy owned a bunch of shares as well

get an actual hobby. i honestly dont see the pleasure in the whole traveling meme.

It's clear you've never travelled alone, because you meet a fuckton of people all the time.

People who worry financially are garbage. They're the kinds of people who live paycheck to paycheck, and never consider what could happen tomorrow.

If you're in your mid 20s, and you don't have at least 10 grand in the bank, shoot yourself right now.

Is that picture satire? You should not curve fit beyond the domain of actual data.

>fleeting
Nonsense. It could last a lifetime. Your statement is baseless.

As for the rest of that shitpost, it is very clear that I would make better use of it to improve my life than you would, as apparently it may not even improve yours.

none of that makes being rich not better though.

Notch is not a good person.

Reminder, this is a man who let his father die alone despite having the money and time to spend with him.

His unhappiness stems from the own filth in his heart. In the end he's a normalfag who can no longer BE a normalfag because he has too much money.

He bought all the things that normalfags believe will make you happy and they didn't.

He can't have alll the cheap things that make normalfags happy because now everyone has his money.

He lacks the ambition or creativity of a non-normalfag who now free from normalfag culture because of their wealth, can do whatever the fuck they want.

>if you're [arbitrary number] and don't have [arbitrary number] in the bank you're literal human garbage
>thinks he knows about money
lol. just lol

>Just stop being poor it's your fault if you are
I didn't know that rich people posted here

Look at it the other way. You might not recognise every billionaire, but they get recognised and remember it every time.

You come across him once and it's over. He comes across people who treat him different every single day.

Also you underestimate what being that degree of rich actually means. You can't talk to people about yourself normally for fear of it alienating the entire discussion.

He's not George Clooney, no, but it's still something that will massively impact how people perceive him and what he experiences because of that.

>hurrr money doesn't buy happiness durrr
ITT: people who's never struggled in their life

Used to be a poorfag once and got lucky at a casino, not incredibly rich but enough to not work for a long time.

Holy fuck ive never been happier like how can you be so fucking stupid to think money doesn't bring happiness? You can't do SHIT without money

Good thing I don't have negative attitude then.

I think the real issue at the heart of Notch's problems is probably real simple.

There is no fucking way he can repeat the luck he had with Minecraft. He literally fucking stumbled into something that set him up for life.

Minecraft didn't happen because Notch was hit with some divine inspiration.

Minecraft wasn't developed with a strict gameplan and clear end goal in mind.

Minecraft didn't succeed because of any ace marketing plan.

I was a game that, by pure serendipity, happened to fill a niche that nobody else in the industry was paying any attention to and managed to spread almost purely by word of mouth and youtube videos due to a boom in videogame related video content happening around that time.

Notch accidentally'd the whole fortune.

Now he can ever do so well again, yet would be expected to because of all the money and success he's already had.

Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't. Notch isn't a revolutionary, he's a guy who made the right game at the right time.

Why don't poor people just buy more money?

I just don't get it. They must be lazy.

He needs to just shut the fuck up and go out and have some fun. I don't think most people even know who the fuck notch is, let alone what he looks like.

Hell I'm not sure I could even recognize this fat fuck if he stood in front of me.

He's just looking for excuses to complain on twitter.

You can shitpost on Cred Forums

ITT virtue signaling Tumblrtards and redditcucks patting themselves on the back over being poor while using stock quotes to justify their laziness and lack of money

but now i can shitpost with money

>Old money rich people avoid you because you are new money
>Other new money people avoid you because you are a sperglord.
For some its even lonely at the top

You're kind of backwards. The people who don't worry financially are the ones who lives paycheque to paycheque because they don't give a shit about what they do with their money. My mother is someone who worries financially even though my father makes 6 times more than I do a year. They have a lot of shit, a nice house blah blah blah but in her eyes our family has and always will be dirt poor so she does whatever she can to scrounge a few extra pennies. You ever use prison grade toilet paper? It sucks.

>what the fuck is wrong with this guy?
He got what he wanted, not what he needed.

Why are twitter screencap threads still allowed? This is about as video game related as me posting Cosmo twitter threads.

How to be good with money:
1) know how much money you have
2) know where your money goes month by month
3) create a budget based on results of 1 and 2

it doesn't matter how much you have, whether you make three figures or eight, as long as you accept where you are and draw a plan for where you want to be. it's really that simple.

i've toyed around with doing a fiverr but they get antsy about that sort of thing, and /biz/ is 100% useless besides as a containment zone for pump-and-dump cryptocoin shilling

>Notch has the ability to just buy all of Cred Forums if he felt like it.

I'm gonna be honest, you have to have a certain type of personality to be happy without money. Lots of people are easily dazzled by having nice things and feeling like celebrities but some people say they wouldn't be happier with more money and they're right. Holy men, buddhist monks, hermits etc. spend their whole lives studying self-conquest and teaching themselves not to want, for example. And of course that's not an exhaustive list of people who don't need money to be happy, some people just have that hard ass grit your teeth trait. You don't have to be some hippie idiot to say something like that.

Every branch of human wisdom has agreed that happiness comes from appreciating what you have and learning how not to feed into desire. Early Christian scholars even defined the root of all sin as "wanting anything badly enough that it causes you strife". It really doesn't take much practice to see the positive effects of a better attitude, I'd recommend giving it a chance instead of dismissing it as delusion just because you think all your problems will be solved by a few wads of cash. Your outlook is poor, but I hope you find some form of happiness all the same.

This. If I had $10m, I wouldn't need to live in a fucking roach-infested 2sqft apartment in the middle of niggerville.

Well to be fair (not him) you should have started some career plan by your mid-20s, and $10,000 is an amount that would let you live income-free for a few months in an emergency situation.

which is why you do something with your money. the absolute worst sin you can do is just sit on it like a flabby wheezy dragon while crying to your literal children followers on twitter about how sad you are and how you don't know how to enjoy things any more

>Notch is less happy than a korean doctor who spends all his money commissioning porn of Falco and Fox as giants fucking each other

It's so sad it's hilarious

I think the only thing holding him back from doing exactly that is that he's still trying to maintain a public image for some reason. If he can realize that Minecraft was isolated success and forget ever being that successful in business again maybe he'll consider it.

They're not happy despite lack of money, they're merely deluding themselves into thinking that they wouldn't be happier even if they had the money. Simultaneously, they tend to delude themselves into thinking they're happy at all in their current situation.

>implying money is just for buying "things"
Want to go traveling? Money will help. Want to be healthy? Money will help. Want food and shelter and security? Money will help. Want to raise a family? Money will help.

Jewish plot.

>inb4 he kills himself
another Cred Forums success story, this site is like an evil curse that destroys people no matter what

if i had a billion dollars i'd get wall-to-wall carpeting in my bathroom and give the rest to the army

>OP's resorts to gossiping about e-celebs on Cred Forums

what the fuck is wrong with this guy?

He forsook Cred Forums in his garbage """game"""'s infancy, so more like anyone who crosses Cred Forums gets destroyed.

why would you need a billion dollars for that?

>no 2 billion dollars for surgeries to be a cute girl sucking big veiny cocks

he is fat, life is harder for fat people
imagine if your life was always a struggle?
get up - struggle
shower- struggle
walking- kill me now
not even kidding

Yeah, I'm sure holy men are only pretending to be happy, and that if they left that way of life for hookers and blow they'd feel a lot better

These people can't think that in depth.

Can't can't go deeper than their bullshit pseudo-philosophy, that ultimately boils down to nothing, or just common shit.

>vast majority of it goes to pay the monthly paycheck Pvt Cleetus and Pvt Tyrone
>they then proceed to splurge it on whiskey/meth/crack

Other way around. Only ascetics who have found something of real value within themselves are truly happy. People who tricked themselves into thinking that happiness can be bought will have to watch it all come tumbling down when they realize that they spent their time on something shallow and fleeting.

I think he's joking. Carpeting in a bathroom is only good for ensuring that you never get the piss stains out

>bathroom
>carpeting
that's pretty gross m8

OHHH SAY CAN YOU SEEEE

Cred Forums memes aside, that thing is literally insane.
I remember that one stream where he just stared in the camera, laughing to himself in a dark room while looking at tthe camera like some kind of maniac

why doesn't notch just do what every rich guy does and spend his fortune on drugs

nothing better than being a billionaire and shitposting on the internet while being on every sort of substance

They would.
>this is what poorfags believe

if i had 2 billion i'd spend all day playing video games

except i'll have food in my fridge in that instance

>pissing on the floor like an animal

If he's not (mentally) ill, he won't kill himself.

reminder that Notch is FIGURATIVELY our guy

>transexuals are maladjusted, brain damaged freaks

As if we need more empirical evidence

A few months? Even if you pay $1000 a month for rent+utilities, $10,000 is enough to last 8-10 months. Do people not know the value of money? I mean if you are jobless you're really not going to waste money that you need for food and transportation on hanging out with friends buying knick knacks and seeing movies are you?

Especially when your wife steals all of it.

All the money in the world will never be able to make you stop hating your life if you already hated it before and it wasn't a money reason.

It probably made it a little better, but not a whole lot.

>implying piss droplets don't splash back

Still live at home, champ? You would be amazed how toilet water gets around

t. hoodrat

I have FAS and even I think endless money would make me the happiest lab accident on the planet

How the fuck do you find a place that's a measly $1000 a month for rent+utilities? Also enjoy not eating anything and never taking a shower. Sure hope you don't ever wash your clothes either.

>poorfag
Implying that isn't some middle class fuck that doesn't have to worry about a damn thing.

Same as shitty rich people that go around saying stuff like "the key to success is meditating".

Money doesn't buy happiness, it only makes life easier.

>western men

give me a million dollars and i will make anime real

user, there is such a thing as too much irony. Pretending to be stupid to make people mad is one thing, but pretending to be hopelessly vain to make people feel sad for you is a step too far.

Well it really depends on where you live, in some places rent with utilities, food, car maintenance (depends on what car you have), could go for a bit higher than $1000 a month. That "few" was meant to be vague.

i'm 100% sincere all the time every time. ha ha 4 chan dot com, b*tches ha ha ha (i'm laughing like the joker)

He lacks social skills. He doesn't interact enough with people outside his residence.

He needs a life coach. He was probably sheltered as a kid and because of such, secluded himself.

t. Someone who had the same issue but have been working on socializing outside of work the last two years

It's tough for introverts but he has to work on it or he will always appear as a doubting flip flopping sperg who seems passive aggressive. I know I acted like this.

This happens to Steam chat NEETs.

If there is such a thing as too much irony, you must be its creator.

You've never been outside your shitty town, have you?

What?

Usually it's the very religious who live by the meme that money won't make you happy and all your unhappiness comes from desire and personality problems that can only be fixed with enough God and prayer and so forth.

It's nonsense with nothing to support it.

Truth is if you're making less than 75k a year money is likely why you're unhappy. If you're making 250k or more a year being more wealthy isn't going to make you any happier

Basically. Notch can whine all he wants about being unhappy with his money, but unless he does something with it like Gates or Trump, he's just a selfish, worthless cunt.

He's essentially a NEET with a fuckton of cash isn't he? Basically retired at ~40? He probably feels unfulfilled and bored.

>Notch can literally fund anything and make it happen
>But he would rather bitch on Twitter and eat stale candy at his mansion

His wife didn't get anything you donut

Lol, now adjust that sick graph to cost of living

So he is living some user's dream then.

He's a fucking billionaire, he could put together a real dev studio to work with and pour unreasonable amounts of cash into some far-out dream project. Imagine an innovative, non-casualized game with the same polish as blizzard titles, assuming you're not all COMPLETE RETARDS at game design it would at least be a good game, and probably an instant classic.

But I doubt notch has any passion or ideas left, I think he's more of a programmer working on his little projects than a game designer.

She got a bunch of millions.

yes i have. traveling has only made think "i could be doing something else right now"

how does that user react when his juvenile dream turns out to be awful and no fun in reality at all

you get this thread, that's what

Like posting in a twitter screencap thread? You've convinced me.

...

why does having money automatically mean wanting material things. Money would bring me happiness, why? Because I'd be able to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. I don't want a new car, I want stability and the removal of the constant stress of being on the edge of everything turning to shit. I'm perfectly content without having the material things I want, I've long passed gotten used to that. I just want to wake up in the morning without the fear of being on the street, which I think most of use with low incomes worry about.

I'm pretty happy with my 75% neet life but sadly I don't have enough money to splurge on women. if I had Notch's money, I would be happy as fuck.

yes.
shitposting on Cred Forums is more fun than traveling imo.

Didn't Microsoft buy them? Who cares, Microsoft could replace the devs. Let the people who allowed you to retire filthy rich retire themselves

Man there's so much shit I would do if I had a billion dollars. First I would probably build an X99 PC with two Titan X's just for epeen threads on Cred Forums. But seriously, you could travel the world. I'd visit everywhere. travel throughout Yurop, go to Thailand and suck ladyboy dick. Go to Akihabara buy a bunch of retarded weebshit. I'd buy a fuckload of guns and just shoot them on my property.

in the end I'd probably just invest in vidya or something. Probably just pump a bunch of money into the game's graphics and try to make the next Crysis or something.

Huh, Hawaii is more expensive than California, interesting.

Money helps you to get rid off any uncertainties tied to paying the bills or getting yourself something nice.
You have more time to concentrate on your life and trying to figure how to improve it or at least finding what's wrong with it.
But if you can't pinpoint what the problem is, you just stay miserable, rich miserable but miserable nonetheless.

He's probably sad that he'll never find a girl. Because he's daddy warbucks even if he finds someone he has no way of knowing if she actually likes him for him or is just there for his money. It's like how supermodels will probably have a rough time finding a boyfriend because they don't know if he likes her for her or just her bombshell body.

If I had billions I'd do the same thing Notch does.

Fuck shit like traveling the world.

Hawaii is an island, everything is imported. Of corse it's going to be more expensive.

I'm confused as to why Oregon is so high. Does Portland skew the numbers that much?

Having a lot of money answers a lot of problems and in some ways is incredibly freeing. What most people who aren't rich don't realise is that it also introduces a lot of problems too.

If you already have everything that money can buy, you take away a lot of the impetus work towards something. Also, for some people, if you aren't being distracted by the the day to day grind, your thoughts can turn to existential nihilism and that can play havoc on your mental health.

thai women are depressing as fuck and dont look good at all

when notch dies, what will happen to his money?
isn't he all alone at this point?

mojang.com/2016/09/max-brooks-is-writing-a-minecraft-novel-oh-yes/

what the fuck

I've never been one to like traveling at all. With that amount of money, I'd probably invest into getting high-speed internet in the middle of a forest, build myself a nice house there with some security, and live in seclusion there.

>1995
>East Germany

wat

How did you work on it? I'm having problems getting out and socializing, myself.

>I'd probably invest into getting high-speed internet in the middle of a forest, build myself a nice house there with some security, and live in seclusion there.
well it made notch happy righ-

oh

I wonder if Notch could try to make a game under a pseudonym. No one is currently asking him to make a minecraft-tier popularity game, but what he lost was literally every drive ever. I always wondered if I could be successful and if my real name burns out due to stress,media,etc etc to just quietly make or try new ideas for games acting like some nobody.

money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys a racecar which in turns gives you happiness

But with money you can put yourself to anything, be it learning a new craft altogether, enjoying a variety of hobbies, or starting companies that will make you even richer while constantly engaging you mentally. It's a non-issue, as is everything else people who like to pretend money doesn't buy happiness, or at least like to pretend the happiness benchmark is legitimate, claim to support their non-arguments.

>le money doesn't make you happy
it doesn't automatically make you happy but it will definitely make your life more cozy which affects your overall happiness

[insert generic non-answer here]
You see, it's that easy! Go get 'em, champ!

i think the only thing he really does now is complain about how hard he has it

maybe it's some primal, R9K-style dilution thing going on? he'll feel better with his billions if he makes everyone else feel worse?

>socialist voter states need more money to be happy

How eye-opening.

>tfw you can apparently choose your parents before you're born

user you can be a neet for the rest of your life.
Just for not as long.

I come from an upper middle class family and still live at home while i work for an engineer with the governement in a first world country. Lifes easy.

just be yourself, my dude

...

I think the transaction between Notch and Microsoft should've been private. If nobody knew he was now suddenly rich and quietly left his development team for some anonymous reason. Then maybe his life would have been a little bit better. He could still have friends and go on dates without having to worry about if they're only into him for his money or not.

It buys things that in turn bring happiness.

Proof of this deal is that Minecraftchick is still around for whatever fucking reason

>life's easy
No, your life is easy.

Go polish your rifles, Randy

>Children are a parasite.

Your life is easy, but what about people who have pieces of shit for parents? Remember that human garage won't stop breeding just because it's not economical.

>published minecraft fanfiction
I know there was that gameknight999 series, but the fact that this is official is frightening

I tried that, but as it turns out I'm allergic to bees.

You've never heard of "projected results" before? There's a reason they don't claim that the projected curve is survey data.

That's just what the people who had things fed the people who didn't to keep them from becoming a threat.

money doesn't actually exist. It's just a placeholder for time spent to obtain a good.

Children are innocent meaning they can become anything.

Innocent does not automatically equate to good.

I have only been to 3 states in my entire life. I'm too poor to travel regularly, and if I do travel, I can never stay long.

Being able to just fuck off and go someplace I always wanted to, and to be able to stay long enough and do expensive things to actually experience that place would be amazing.

After I'm sick of exploring I'd settle down and devote the rest of my life to lifting in my world class personal gym while playing video games and shitposting on Cred Forums in the downtime.

Anyone on this thread remember when he came to Cred Forums a couple months ago

You can project things but they will be merely guesses. How hard is it to get survey data for hobos and above 120k income people anyways?

Watching all the poor people respond to this is a riot.

Cred Forums is a predominantly conservative forum, why should this shock you?

> tfw your life is so devoid of meaning you have to post-ironically troll SJWs on twitter to forget you want to kill yourself
At least I'm not Anthony Burch, Jake Rapp Jim Sterling or Notch

>he didn't reroll his parental stat boost

Fucking shitters these days, I swear.
