@grumpygamer Oh you've made a far greater impact in this world than I ever will, and I dedicate my life to doing the same thing: videogames.

So you better believe you're contributing with something good bc otherwise, where does that leave me? X)

@grumpygamer My cancer researcher wife and I (renewable energy systems scientist) wholeheartedly thank you and other game developers! Art is supremely important.

@grumpygamer you have done an amazing job, giving people dreams and food for thought. Thanks. 💜

@grumpygamer It is an honest activity that improved people's lives. Think of those who spent the same time stealing, lying or inspiring hatred.

@grumpygamer I’ve never written code that made people happy nor made this a better world. I’ve certainly never inspired with it. I’d say you are ahead of a lot of us.

@grumpygamer so you are working on video games fr 47 years? if work 40h/week with no vacation, not sure if this is good or bad thing….

@grumpygamer considering you brought joy to people you probably made the lieves of a few people longer. And you probably also inspired people to want to make games as well. I think, considering the games you make, that is a good thing.

Unless you do have the forumla for curing cancer in the drawer of your desk and just didn't find it important. That would change things a bit.

@grumpygamer You made the first video game I ever played, so indirectly you're also responsible for the ~20,000 hours I must've put in ;)

@grumpygamer but they likely brought joy to many cancer patients. Someone has to do that, too.

@grumpygamer
Giving the people who cure cancer so many fun and interesting games to play so that they can switch off and relax is important work.

@grumpygamer Some of your games have helped people to dream of a better world. You contributed a lot.

@grumpygamer At a rate of 10,000 hours to master something you must be amazing.... Which games? I may want to look at them.

grumpygamer, 8 months ago

@Ulrich_the_Elder Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Humorous Entertainment, The Cave, Thimbleweed Park and more.

@grumpygamer I looked you up.... Wow, you have a wikipedia page. Totally cool.

@grumpygamer What's the point of living if we don't have art to enjoy life?

thelettuceman, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer that's insane. you mean you're an expert 10x over?

antireality, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer I'm up to 16,500-ish hours as a result of playing those games and thinking that I'd like to give it a go...

maxbob, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer pretty sure you have lightened someone's mood with your games who was dealing with cancer - that is a win in my books :)

saua, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer out of curiosity: do you know what game(s) you were working on at the 10,000 hour mark?

grumpygamer, 8 months ago

@saua No idea... But it was probably while I was at Lucas.

OpusFluke, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer And for this so many of us are truly grateful. Even when we swear at you for those puzzles. Especially when we swear at you.

sternwarte, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer 10% of that time, fowed each into monkey island *, elder scrolls *, and for some reason Game of Thrones.... whatever, You fight like a cow! 😂 sorry, i lost myself tonight a bit....

cagibidev, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer well, at least you didn't cure world peace or establish cancer, so making video games isn't that bad in the end.

grumpygamer, 8 months ago

@cagibidev And it would just like me to mess that up.

brixmeister, 8 months ago

@grumpygamer We are forever grateful! Your video games formed my youth, and now my sons.
