Yes, the CEO was born in 1988, the 14th month.

E: yes im just joking here, the CEO is actually one of those prime examples of the American dream working out. Fled the USSR with his fam, became extremely wealthy making shit etc.

'the fact is they are right about some things'

Yes, which is a thing we agree on, as Rationalwiki says "The good bits are not original and the original bits are not good", problem is that none of the things mentioned before their last statement hold up. We don't know 1 is possible. (Also note that 1 isn't just 1, but actually 5+ points).

Anyway unhinged reddit DM's are always something.

e: eurgh, looked into their post history. They are into making AI porn games. Also they are quite dumb., yes lets ask the magical AI if a thing is true. Ah turns out it told me that OpenAI is the greatest company in the world and there have been no controversies ever. (They also have some opinions about jewish people and trans people in the sinfest subreddit)

Excel is a game.

Which is funny, as creating new levels in an interesting way is very hard. What made John Romero great is that he was very good at level design. He made it look easy. People have been making new levels for ages but only few of them are good. (Of course also because you cannot recreate the experience of playing doom for the first time, so new experiences will need to be 'my house' levels of complexity.

The poison floor not hurting the player trapping him forever was a good thing to end on.

There certainly is a pattern of people who used to be helpful and productive in the past who then turn into edgelords in the community later, and nobody dares to go after them because past achievements pattern.

Lol, of course the edgelords (I think there were 2, not really clear to me atm) have Dutch names. Typisch. Anyway, we tech people really need to learn that being good in tech, and getting tech changes approved is different from being good at modern community management and avoiding the pitfalls of those.

Least controversial libertarian. (At least they picked slavery and not ... well you know).

Turns out the story is even weirder, Durov wasn't always a 'everything is allowed' free speech guy. Iran must be defended

Unrelated to the posts, but in Dutch beffen is a somewhat vulgar verb for going down on a woman. Based Beff Jezos indeed.

(I'm sorry im 12 years old).

I want to make a HN account and reply to the 'depression and schizophrenia is or isn't a hardware/software issue' posters and tell them there is actually is a working IQ test, and they all just failed it.

Yeah that they named it Q* and that they are very online (so they know about the implications) is quite worrying.
