Dude made one interesting game that has almost zero replayability and can be beaten in a few hours. And now he's in the indie clique circle so he will be forever "relevant."
Also, is he saying that there's a difference between men and women? Because I don't see gender or sex when it comes to these weirdos or their "artistic" output -- they're all unappealing vaguely androgynous humanoids.
Jonathan Blow -- made a game called "Braid" like 15 years ago that was a puzzle twist on Super Mario Brothers and had an unbelievably pretentious (mostly ignorable) story about a princess and nuclear bombs. Also had a secret that requires the player to sit and wait for like 45 minutes. Would recommend a playthrough if you like action platform puzzlers and can get it for < $5.
He's made a game or two since then but nothing as noteworthy.
Every programmer goes through that stage at some point, where they become good enough to write convoluted yet highly compact code. But no matter how good you are, that sort of code really slows you down when you're debugging it later, even if you're the one who wrote it. Most people mature out of this phase and retvrn to writing highly legible code, but pseuds like Blow just get worse and worse.
Braid's reception got him believing that he's a genius and he never made anything good again. Many such cases.
It's hard to explain to non-programmers, but his code is overcomplicated in an extremely "I'm too smart for readable code" sort of way, and that sort of code really slows the process down.

Who is he? All I saw was an SJW retard. I don't know what "Year 2020 Ideas of Equality" means but he sounds like he's still in 2016.

This tweet should explain everything about why he's unable to finish anything any more. It's hard to explain to non-programmers, but his code is overcomplicated in an extremely "I'm too smart for readable code" sort of way, and that sort of code really slows the process down.
