Everyone has fucking depression and anxiousness.

Social Anxiety guy here.

I’ll just leave this here. (via xkcd)

Thinking differently from others is fine, but when you voice those thoughts in an insulting fashion while acting in a professional capacity as a company representative, things get a little dicey.

80,000 Twitch followers and they were entertained by his abrasiveness, being outspoken, and blunt.... And the fact I never heard of him means that 80,000 was a modest number of the actual numbers he was televising his anger speech to... Sooooooooo, is NOW a good time to question the role models of our internet…

i learned the difference when my parents had to sit me down and tell me i needed to see someone because the amount of worrying and overall dread that small or unchangeable things caused me, or the fact that the fact i couldnt get out of bed in the morning wasnt a ‘hahaha im so lazy’ thing as much as a ‘I dread getting…

Can’t +1 enough.

Suicide, and it’s root causes, are an incredibly complex set of issues that trained professionals can barely quantify or explain. As much as I am a fan of free speech and the internet, sometimes I wish people would just exercise a little empathy and acknowledge that maybe their experience isn’t the normative one by…

We don’t know the reasons of what makes a person go through with suicide....unless you can communicate with dead people.

I’m hoping this doesn’t crush the person who donated back into a bad mental spot. It'd be pretty brutal to praise someone who got you out of a terrible time only to be spat on.

Guy’s an insensitive ass. I agree that suicide can sometimes be for selfish reasons. But I think everyone knows that one of the key things you do when talking to a depressed (possibly suicidal) person is not to judge them. Not to make assumptions. Guy would be fired at almost any job if he voiced this opinion to…

“Everyone has fucking depression and anxiousness.”

Nope, no they don’t and I would bet he has no idea what either are in real life.

I certainly didn’t understand the difference between depression and just feeling down and anxiety vs worrying.

Just because you happen to be proficient in one area, say programming, does not mean you’ll have the creative oversight or vision to Kickstart an entire game.

Which is mostly irrelevant. “You can always leave” is not a defence against poor working conditions.

You work for an industrial company where accidents happen…

You should really cut them some slack. I can think of many reasons why, for many of those complaining, it just isn’t that simple. I keep telling people this, but creating your own business is not for everyone, it is a skill in itself and not one that everyone possesses, and therefore should not be considered a viable…

What makes you think working as an indie developer is any easier?

Ugh. Articles like this infuriate me. I’m in the industry, work for a well-known developer. We’ve taken steps to mitigate crunch as best we can, and for the most part, it’s effective. There are still, however, times when we’re approaching a milestone where we have to buckle in and put in some serious hours. But I’m…

I’m a pretty big skeptic of the crunch time thing and generally think most, though not all, is just whining from people who’ve never worked really employee exploiting jobs (making games is by far the easiest schedule I’ve ever had, I’ve never worked more than like 60-70% of the hours that I did in financial services,…

What an asshole. Using “Making games is not a job - it’s an art” as your argument for paying game industry workers jack shit is predicated on the completely idiotic premise - one that’s all-too-common in contexts outside of gaming, too - that artists don’t deserve to be fairly compensated for their work.

what an asshole.

Why would you be upset about spending a large portion of the one and only life you ever get working on someone else’s vision to make someone else some money and then not get compensated for it fairly?
