For a general thing, the NYT profile of Zach and Tarn from DF being in the MoMA is great, but that was 2011: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/magazine/the-brilliance-o... "Zach brought over a drinking glass from the house in case I got thirsty, because Tarn owns only a couple of dishes. In the fridge were three sodas and a jug of water and nothing else. Tarn said I was welcome to anything, although the jug technically belonged to Scamps — the tap water has something in it that makes the cat refuse to drink it. Tarn consumed “maybe one glass” of water in the last three months, hydrating with soft drinks instead. “Water’s not doing it for me these days,” he said. “I know it’s bad, but the sugar goes right into programming the game. If I don’t drink soda now, I get a headache and can’t do any work.” Tarn has had to deal with fans haranguing him about his health for a while. It's been a pretty common meme in DF culture to wonder what's going to happen to the codebase when Tarn passes it, with heavy implication that it'll never get to v1.0. " . . . in the only moment I heard him speak with anything like bitterness, Tarn called Minecraft a “depressing distillation of our own stuff.” He paused, adding more magnanimously that the game “has its own things going for it.” The problem, he concluded, “isn’t with Minecraft so much as it’s with society.” |
