I feel like the author falls deeply into the trap of confusing someone being friendly with someone being your friend.
Notch was friendly with this author but I doubt he ever considered him a friend, just someone he was paying for a job. This has very strong Jim Carrey in “Cable Guy” vibes to me.
- paulcole 4y agoYes, this confused me as well. > I wrote a story for a friend, but in the end, he didn't treat me like a friend, and I'm hurt. At what point are he and Notch friends and not just people who were introduced over Twitter for work purposes?
- elondaits 4y agoI don’t think he means friends in that literal sense. Someone you feel kinship and can make a gesture out of love for someone, even if you barely know them. Sometimes you’re right and the other person sígnals back that you’re indeed in the same frequency. It’s a type of love close to a friendship than a romance, so it’s an apt metaphor.
