Hard agree, fuck him for his dumb views, also I feel like I'm getting some downvotes because of him 🤣

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago

I feel like I hadn't heard shit about Notch since Trump's first term. Is this a bad sign

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

I assume he is still transphobic trash.

[-] testman@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago

This. I strongly disagree with his decision to let Microsoft take over the thing that is basically cocaine for kids.

[-] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 14 points 5 months ago

Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 59 points 5 months ago

His controversy section on wikipedia is fascinating. Is he still a Q believer?

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 16 points 5 months ago

Yeah I was wondering the same when K saw a similar post earlier... Can't find anything about his current views or beliefs.

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 23 points 5 months ago

His positions have swung around a lot, and apparently he's inclined to depression and moods swings? I hope he's come out of the cult thinking, at least, and making a new game is a sign he's not in that obsessive mindset anymore. I'm not interested in giving him my money, but it'd be better for everyone if he wasn't into conspiracies.

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 4 points 5 months ago

That's good to hear, I think. Not all bad.

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 6 points 5 months ago
[-] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 58 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Didn't he get all fucked up and miserable from all that money from the sale to MS?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 25 points 5 months ago

That's why his new game is going to suck, on purpose. 😃

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 25 points 5 months ago

So it's going to be AAAA

[-] icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

Ten years of early retirement is probably enough time to refuel his interest in creating

Notch is a fascist.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 44 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I mean, to this day I haven't played a Minecraft clone that left me satisfied so I doubt Mr. Bored Depressed Billionaire over there will manage to capture lighting in a bottle twice...

(And I doubt he's using his free time to learn a new programming language either so it's gonna be Java again god help us all)

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Real talk what's wrong with Java? It's runtime is rock solid at this point and it's a very mature lang with a great ecosystem.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

To be fair I'm being a dickhead.
I'm sure Minecraft's slowness has more to do with how it was built/tech debt and such than Java itself, as the mods that massively boost performance show.

Who's Notch? I thought Hatsune Miku made Minecraft.

I thought there already was a spiritual successor to Minecraft: Vintage Story

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 23 points 5 months ago

There’s hundreds if not thousands spiritual successors to Minecraft.

Huh. That looks neat. Any favorite parts you'd like to share?

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Friends and I have had servers up for years now. It only looks like Minecraft on the surface, it plays pretty differently beyond placing cubes of stuff down. It's survival focused, so there's cooking and hunting etc. Making in pretty minimal and then you need to smelt the ores down, hammer ingots into what you're crafting voxel by voxel, and climb up the ladder of materials while dealing with more and more complex processes to make better items.

There's seasons that affect crop growth and animal health, and your internal body temp is tracked so if you don't wear warm enough clothing or let it go to tatters you'll freeze to death in winter. If that starts to suck hard enough you can travel thousands of blocks toward the equator and the average temp will go up as you do. There's no biomes like MC, areas are populated based on average seasonal temps and rainfall dynamically. Altitude affects these too.

It's neat.

Notch has a track record of announcing things he wouldnt add

I am still waiting for fortress mode to be added to Minecraft, for the planned dlc and for the game to be licensed under an open source license

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 months ago

Don't forget the story mode he said they're be adding.

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Yes, the DLC we were promised for life for buying it during alpha.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I eagerly look forward to not playing it.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

There's no Infiniminer 2 for him to crib ideas from though so hows that gonna work

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 25 points 5 months ago

Okay, but haven't we already had this in the form of [ Insert Failed Game Here ] or Luanti?

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

We already have Dragon Quest Builders.

[-] MotorCade93@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago

The superior game and it already has a sequel!

Note it says work on, not finish.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 months ago

He still never finished Minecraft.

At this point, he should just rehire Jen's to do it again.

[-] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Hopefully it will be a banger like the first!

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

What a Lemmy moment. A positive comment of a person excited about a new game getting a negative vote score.

[-] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

The site can be fun sometimes. ;p

What happened to 0x10^C ya bigoted fuckkkk I liked the concept of that one

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 16 points 5 months ago

Sounds like he finally ran out of that Microsoft money.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 16 points 5 months ago

We have that. Its the mods on top of Minecraft. Nothing made will ever come close to those.

[-] style99@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

Pretty sure Terraria already exists.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Only white people will be allowed to play.
