Yes. The internet is a huge part of this issue.
Just don't take the losers on the internet seriously and you're good to go.
Always keep in mind that a good deal of the people you come across on forums and social media are chronically online. They can't function in the real world with real consequences, so they are stuck acting like an idiot to strangers.
Not really. Anyone who feels "bullied" by voting should get out of the kitchen.
I'm noticing most people on the internet legitimately can't take criticism because they've been living in bubbles their entire lives.
Interesting theory, but I have a better one.
This is part of the concerted effort to make sure as many people do nothing with their lives as possible. There's a culture of loserdom where people literally only play video games with their lives. Such a loser should never be taken seriously unless you want to end up like them.
No it's not.
The only way to get better at things is to do them. While losers were playing video games to get their instant gratification, this winner was working towards a skill that they could use and build for the rest of their life.
Out of everyone criticizing him, I'd wager less than 10% have any knowledge at all of game development. They will never get that knowledge because they're losers who are afraid to learn. Learning means admitting you don't know and coming to terms with all the time you've wasted on bullshit.
I miss the days when gaming wasn't cool.
I've noticed a lot of people who give advice online can't think for themselves and therefore cannot tolerate anyone doing anything differently from them.
Once I recognized that such an idiot exists and is prevalent on online forums, it became very easy to write them off whenever I see them.
The average internet user is about as smart as the average person these days. We need to dig in order to find intelligence; it's not the norm.
I guarantee you, every loser making one of those comments doesn't do shit with their lives.
They can't comprehend that in order to get better at things, you have to practice them.
Their lives consist of working, sleeping, and playing video games. It's pathetic.
Who cares about this?
Did you know that China forcibly disappeared a 6 year old back in 1995 and they're still holding him captive to this day?
Really? I have almost the exact opposite experience when I look at my old code.
I'm usually afraid that it's junk and I could've done better, but then I'm routinely impressed by what I've written and go "Man, I did a good job with this."
