Regarding HC's frustration and other similar instances:
Fuck the haters!For every curmudgeon, cynic, critic, or troll who has made an UNO or Proto developer feel annoyed or unappreciated there are 10 others who are supporting this project and genuinely interested and appreciative of their progress. Frankly, given the nature of discourse on the internet I'd say that any criticism has actually been very tame.
When I'm streaming poker on Twitch random people pop into the chat to say mean things, "OMG you are retarded this is painful to watch." "Why the fuck are you even broadcasting this? You're terrible stop wasting space." I can't remember exactly what has been said but it's happened a dozen times or so. I've spent a lot of time working on my poker skills, improving my stream, being friendly and entertaining. So do I get upset when these people harass me? Do I get discouraged?
Fuck no I don't!If it seems even a little funny I genuinely laugh about it and talk to them. If it's just run-of-the-mill harassment I instantly block them and continue the party. For every shithead troll there are a dozen people who watch my broadcasts, give me advice, use my referral links, or invite me on their poker broadcasts. I give my time to the people who are good to me, not the malicious ones.
The trolls can continue living in their sad little worlds, but don't let them contaminate yours. Do what you do! Show them who's boss! Create, learn, progress!
