Minecraft creator has existential Twitter meltdown, then gets stung by Jellyfish

The fun began in the wee hours Saturday with this tweet:

Markus Persson @notch
The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance.
And this one shortly after:
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
Hanging out in ibiza with a bunch of friends and partying with famous people, able to do whatever I want, and I've never felt more isolated.
A few minutes later, Persson talks despairingly about his new life back in his home country.
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
In sweden, I will sit around and wait for my friends with jobs and families to have time to do shite, watching my reflection in the monitor.
He obviously misses the days when he had his Sisyphean rock to roll up the hill.
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
When we sold the company, the biggest effort went into making sure the employees got taken care of, and they all hate me now
A couple minutes later. Persson’s life sounds a little crazy. Even keeping a girlfriend is hard.
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
Found a great girl, but she's afraid of me and my life style and went with a normal person instead.
At 2:59 a.m. Uses “Musk” as a verb.
Again, Persson suggests that he regrets selling his creation, Minecraft.
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of assholes that made me sell minecraft again.
By 3:16, some (rich) friends have intervened and Persson starts to cool down.
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
People who made sudden success are telling me this is normal and will pass. That's good to know! I guess I'll take a shower then!
After a long, dark night, things are looking brighter at 9:39 a.m. this morning.
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
And just venting and not feeling like I had to hide made it feel a bit easier to cope with already. ?
Then he gets stung by a Jellyfish.
quote:
Markus Persson @notch
A jellyfish stung my knee. Surprisingly didn't hurt that much, and at least two people offered what I would consider a bad solution.

He should kill himself

That would fix the jelly fish sting. No doubt.

god I hate twitter

What a loser. I would kill to have billions so I could get away from humanity.

I know quite a few miserable assholes who are rich.
Its discouraging.

How much did he sell it for? 2+ billion? If that doesn't make you happy you might as well end it.
Posted on 8/29/15 at 11:29 pm to SabiDojo
he obviously doesn't find happiness through money. I'm sure if you et that much money all at once you realize how people only care about your money.

I don't get it, what is stopping him from joining the workforce?

He's always been a weird dude.
He was broke and jobless when he started MC and bitched about that. Now he's rich as frick and bitches about it.
Also, I know he's a member of Mensa and very smart, but he seems to think his opinions on things (especially anything video game related) matter all too much.

You wish you were him

I'll bring up Robin Williams as a recent example of someone who had a lot of money but obviously wasn't happy. Some people just can't cope regardless of their situation.
Although, him going on twitter with this public moping makes me wonder if he just needs the attention.

No shite and I wouldn't be whining like a little fig about how awful it is to have 2 billion dollars.

So why do his ex employees hate him?

” One Mojang employee responds that he only hated Persson during the initial shock of him leaving, but Persson rejects that, saying “nobody reached out and said it was just initial shock. So frick all of you. frick you so hard.”
Sounds like he's a whiny fig and hates them more than they hate him.
