wait, Dan is quoting this bio that I thought was a hoax, but that looks like he found the original source
@noiob i choose to believe that was his actual response regardless of any hyperbole
@pearshapes I mean he says he didn't make up his response, I 100% believe he cried
@noiob exactly
@pearshapes I also don't think that's bad in itself. Plenty of people have unhealthy emotional connections to video games, and he ended up quitting the game, he just didn't realize what the problem was
@noiob tru! i just see it as a mite of schadenfreude, that something so personal and kind of embarrassing could happen to a developer of one of the worst things humanity invented is elating for in the same way that a flag burning might give someone a boost
@pearshapes yeah absolutely, it's the most angry nerd response ever
it's quoted from this website, it seems, which isn't verifiably written by Buterin https://about.me/vitalik_buterin
