Or AFTER him! And that was when he was talking about something as stupid as dry humping a leg. "Don't you dare hump another leg again, I own you now. Wahh, another good female ruined! Sex means nothing if my ex partner doesn't choose to forever stay celibate after me." ?? I mean, as sad as this is, I kinda' get where his mental state was at that point... and it might be more sad than disturbing really, but Alex... you ignorant twat... maybe you should've kept these thoughts to yourself.
A plot like that could be improved by just a tiny bit of self-awareness. Kinda just... Invert the point of the game. Make it about the teenager complex of "I'm so special and different from all the OTHER teenagers, the sheep, the immoral, stupid, unaware masses. I'm way mature for my age and would be a far better judge of right and wrong than people making those decisions now. If it were me, I could make the world a better place for sure.".
Yeah, I definitely think his age + the homeschooling did a thing or two to really amp up the teenage feelings of super-special-awesomeness. He had no real-life experiences with people his age, so his image of them was probably very much full of stereotypes.
This is so true. In his dating profile he even says that having a goal is the most important thing to him in life. He didn't really have one before YanSim if I've understood everything correctly. He was horribly depressed, suicidal and lonely. Those are things that YanSim has actually helped him with. I get that if coding is not your absolute passion it can be really tedious sometimes, but this is what he chose and it's working out way better for him than any indie game developer could expect!
He is so incredibly, amazingly ungrateful it blows my mind.
