Is Notch the luckiest human being who has ever lived?

Wasn't born rich, so no

How can he be lucky if he is fat?

>>386463993
he's a retarded perma newfag who needs to hurry up and ruin his life with hard drugs.

>>386464242
He was unlucky to have the autism genes and selling Minecraft was a mistake

>>386463993
How is he lucky?

If you mean because he is rich, there are far richer people and there are people who were born into it.

Yeah sure it can't, but it sure dulls the pain.

He is. /v/ will fight you to death if you talk anything good about him though.

>>386463993
not really lucky. he's still lonely, he's still fat and will decline in health even more soon.

if you want to talk about lucky, see the guy who won the lotto twice.

Stealing someone else's idea sure is lucky.

>>386465373

He is a fat retard.

He can afford the best self-improvement services in the world but he's too fat and lazy.

He'll just keep whining while stuffing his face with his wall of m&ms.

>>386466000

Then you should do it and become super rich and famous.

I honestly don't think so.
His little Infiniminer clone becoming a billion dollar global industry is obviously something he was never prepared for and getting hounded by an entire generation of autists is more than one man can handle, we all saw what happened to George Lucas

>>386464242
He's you, but rich so that means if anything he should be pitying you.

No no, you see he feels lonely because he's so rich that he can't find anyone else to be his equally friend

He lives a tragic life

>>386464242
My perfect life is being a rich hermit NEET so that sounds good to me

His ex wive is luckier. She didn't even have to deal with Minecraft development, she just had to divorce him while he was rich and get a fuckton of money.

Thing is, he put passion and work into something. If you do that too, you might just make it.

Be it a game, book, youtube video, stream or whatever. As long as you try really hard you might make it and get rich/famous.

You can't get 'lucky' if you don't try.

>notch will spend the rest of his life indulging in $10,000 champagne showers and $25,000 outings eating sushi off Japanese supermodels' naked breasts in order that he can release a microgram of dopamine in his fat rich brain

>giving that to me would be utterly life transforming
>spending even 20% of that on feeding hungry children (of whom there are millions even in first world countries) would feed thousands and release, comparatively, tens of thousands of times more dopamine

This is why I despise capitalism. The ideal purpose of an economic system is to distribute labor so that as many humans are as happy and healthy as possible, not so one fucking faggot who struck it lucky gets to hoard insane levels of resources and have mountains moved so that he will get 50% higher dopamine release compared to your average person.

Yeah, I think he was just in the right place at the right time. Minecraft was the first game of its kind, if he didn't make it someone else would have come along and done it. And it's not even that great of a game, even less so when he was actually working on it. He also calls people cunts online to be edgy which is something I did when I was 14.

When you're that rich you can select a teenage girl you like, move her into your house, and fuck her every day and grab her ass in front of the paparazzi.

Let me say as a dumb yuppie trust fund kid that being wealthy doesn't add anything to your life except for the fact you can have more goods and services available to you.

Contrary to popular believe it doesn't make you an automatic chick-magnet and doesn't just generate fun and happiness.

If you are unhappy now you would be unhappy in my situation as well.

I genuinely think people are just born happy or unhappy. It's based upon genetics if you can enjoy the situation you're in. It's not dependent on the situation itself. If that were the case then nobody was happy in medieval times due to such abhorrent quality of life. Even for royals.

>>386468228
The entire reason you replied to my post with your contrarian horse shit is because being (you)'d validates you and releases a microdose of dopamine.

>>386467890
Nothing about that pic is wrong or conflicting. Sjws are the lowest scum of the earth with politicians being slightly above them because you expect that of a politician.

>>386468228
The purpose of existence, if there is one, is to increase human wellbeing and happiness. Wellbeing is simply 'healthy life span' and happiness is simply summary dopamine release.

Really? Give me all your money right now, you're just going to be losing some goods and services, what's the big deal?

>>386467045
she didn't get any of the billion he got from microsoft though.

>>386468443
Here is what being wealthy does do, you faggot, it makes it so you never have to worry about whether you'll need to sleep on the street tomorrow and get stabbed by junkies who want your food stamp card.

>>386463993
Notch is about as lucky as those two guys that copied a Warcraft 3 mod and made billions off it.

>>386466247
Makes me respect Lucas. He stuck with Star Wars for 40 years. Notch could only handle 5.

>>386468443
This is such bullshit. If I had money I could do fun things all the time. I could get my own private jet/helicopter and fly around. I could get a private swimming pool. I could travel the world. I would have so much fun.

>>386468443
This is the level of stupid that only dumb yuppie trust fund kids can attain.

Noch should make a kickass haunted house.
Just a thought.

>>386468443

Is this kind of retardation the result of having a guaranteed comfortable future?

>>386468676
If I'd give you all the money I have right now you'd only get $7800 ¥16000 €9000 £2700.

All my wealth is in dividend paying stocks and assets that pay out every quarter. I get you are acting smug but those aren't actual arguments.

>>386468774
Being middleclass also makes you stop worrying about being poor. You don't need to be wealthy to not worry about these things.

>>386469049
Those things get boring and bland after a while. It's just "Tuesday" to me. Traveling the world was fun when I turned 18. But it quickly grew bland within a couple years of traveling.

>>386469137
>>386469291
good arguments.

>>386463993
No, he's a successful entrepreneur who put a lot of hours of work into developing and marketing his game, and eventually succeed. Sure there was some luck because to succeed in any business it takes luck, but it wasn't all that.

If you look at Minecraft early development cycles you'll see that he was actually working very lean, making lots of dev-feedback cycles and shaping his product based on market feedback.

That's pretty impressive if you ask me.

>>386468676
So if I already have a good life, I won't enjoy having a few thousand spare?

Nah bollocks, though I will agree with you that excessive wealth will alienate you, there are no drawbacks to being wealthy, a.k.a having a few hundred k spare in the bank.

>>386469508
>If I'd give you all the money I have right now you'd only get $7800 ¥16000 €9000 £2700.

That's okay, just fork it over. Like you said, it's just some meaningless hoods and services, so it shouldn't bother you at all or impact your happiness.

>>386468443
nah. i was poor and now i'm not and my life is scores better now and i'm much happier more often

>>386468443
>Let me say as a dumb yuppie trust fund kid that being wealthy doesn't add anything to your life except for the fact you can have more goods and services available to you.
Let me say as a healthy man that being healthy doesn't add anything to your life except that you don't die of cancer.

This is how stupid you sound. Now be grateful for your wealth you spoiled brat.

He directly copied Infiniminer and marketed it better. Getting rich isn't based on the merit of your actions, it's based on dumb luck, or, more often, exploiting and manipulating people (including your customers)

>>386469508

Contrary to the other retards in this thread, I will not deny that money does not = not depressed.

This is why so many Hollywood stars and celebs go crazy and do dumb shit, and why tons of young white kids from well off families kill themselves (hopefully you also consider suicide, and I am making this judgment upon you based upon one or two anonymous posts you made today).

It's why people like chester bennington and chris cornell also kill themselves

it's why even notch can't always be happy 100% of the time

a few standout points: when you're super rich, maybe everybody loves you, but nobody really likes you

also, you can spend all your money running from something just to find out that the problem is yourself, and you simply can't escape that.

I could go on, but i there's no point, as if you're snoring through a tour of western europe, you'll certainly be bored with my post by now.

Regardless, the fact that you consider roughly 8000 dollars to be "not much" just shows how different life is. You can afford to have this boredom and existentialism because you're not worried about having to eat, or keep your home, or feed your children. Imagine the big difference. :/

No but he is the laziest

if you were in notch's shoes you would do same thing. make one hit wonder, get rich, retire early. why should you work if you're already well off?

>>386469248

that would require talent

>>386464714
He did something pretty smart and lucked out to the extreme with its popularity.

Being rich only makes you depressed because there is no longer an 'up.' There is no next rung to grab. Let me tell you that the finer things in life won't make you happier forever, you only feel happier when you step up to them from a lower level. The level change is what makes you happy. Soon you get accustomed and you just want to climb again. Something about human condition prevents you being satisfied, your brain stem wants you eating ever better food and mating with ever more, ever-more-beautiful women.

This is how the Jews get you, it's why 60 year old rich celebrities are still working and still desperately reaching for more money. It's also because they know nothing else besides working and they are convinced their work is a great charity.

But that's wrong, I do a job that I love so I'm happy with the little money I make but if I stumbled into a big pile of money I could put my mother into a nice house with a garden and under constant care, get myself a nicer place, spend less time working and more time on my hobbies. Happiness comes from within but money is freedom

>>386472206
It is in many ways true.
Obviously there's no guarantee for success, but consistent work produces results.
And it even applies on a smaller scale - if you apply yourself at least somewhat, abstain from self-destructive behavior and have least a semblance of a talent you can make a decent living. Even here in central slavland.
