I'm going to charitably guess you didn't read most of the post.
He did move on. He is at peace, finally.
He's the opposite of a diva and has humbly accepted that his reward for his work doesn't take monetary form.
- warinukraine 4y agoI don't know much about this person, other than that he did NOT move on.
- TomBombadildoze 4y ago"Moving on" and recounting a story can be, and often are, entirely different things.
- tkahnoski 4y agoOr precisely the exact same thing. I take this as their final act to bring closure.

- kabes 4y agoI read the whole post and he doesn't give me the impression of being at piece. If you're truly at piece you wouldn't be writing such a long and bitter post to begin with. He pretends he doesn't care for money, but all the examples where he felt he's not being treated fairly revolve around money. And he clearly still sees himself as one of the original Minecraft creators while he's not.
- sbst32 4y agoWell that's called introspection. And the post is his way of a telling a story. He is a storyteller, that is what he does.
- ziml77 4y agoAt peace? The fact that he wrote this long post shows that he is not at peace. And it's not like it was just a vent piece that he didn't expect to get attention, he posted a link to it on /r/minecraft.
- mistermann 4y ago> The fact that he wrote this long post shows that he is not at peace. Nitpick: technically/scientifically, facts do not have volition.
- squirtlebonflow 4y agoAre you saying because "facts" are not sentient beings, they cannot be the subject for the verb "to show"?
- mistermann 4y agoThey have an involvement in the process/phenomenon, but it is the mind that is doing the majority of the work (the actual implementation of "shows"). And, as science has well demonstrated, the mind is a highly unreliable instrument, and is a particularly important one in that it renders "reality" itself. I'm a big fan of this essay, mainly for this one line: >> There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?” https://fs.blog/david-foster-wallace-this-is-water/ https://fs.blog/david-foster-wallace-this-is-water/
