How did he manage to miss his big opportunities three times in a row and only get somewhat known as a creator of a mediocre platformer series?

He made his marks on Doom, Rise Of The Triad, and Deus Ex, and Arachnonox is honestly underrated. Considering he cares the most about Commander Keen, and Zenimax seems to have little idea what to do with the property, they should plain just hire him and give him a modest budget to develop an all new Keen game.

>>10597897
Carmack took good care of himself, he ate a lot of pizza and drank a lot of diet soda, but he always stayed active and in shape. Of the original iD guys, he was, and remains, the physically strongest.

Alsp, being fucking insane probably sustains him in remaining forever young.

Why do you want you favorite game devs to be jock Sigmas in 8-9 cases out of 10, honestly? Wow, how fucking petty and petulant. And how the fuck is Tom hall the original soiboy?

there's a big difference between being a little autistic and quirky, versus being an actual faggot. there are plenty of cool, down to earth retro game devs. all the id guys with the exception of carmack are huge liberal tranny loving queers.

Every retro vidya dev in America is a DnD nerd and weird ass nerd in general.

Compsci is literally full of this and has been for the last three or four decades. Did you really expect something else from a field who's hubs are west coast cities and surprisingly liberal Texas cities?

no, this was a relatively recent development that started in the mid 2000s. there were tons of cool guys in game development until social media allowed identity politics to spread like a cancer. you can even see how some people changed with time, just look at CliffyB. i wouldn't dare call that guy "cool" at any point in his life but basically flipped from beer can crushing, titty-oogling jabroni to full blown SJW cuck retard in the span of 10 years. things did not always used to be this way.

>>10598609
It's called west coast cancer, and it's infected compsci shit long ago and made programmers troon out since Mark Horton turning into Marry Anne and probably before, just because you noticed it recently doesn't mean it's that recent.
>just look at CliffyB
He's an SA goon, he was always fucked, difference is that 90s libs were edgy and 2010s libs are "I'M OFFENDED!"
