When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The distance between the people who made the games and the people playing them wasn't that big. It was the spirit of independence. The programmers were a lot like you.
I'm still trying to figure out what the right line is between myself and the people I play. Sometimes I go too far one way or too far the other.
I'm used to people being a mile away. That suits me. It's more nerve-wracking playing in front of people who are two feet away from me.
I think each person you play has a little bit of you in it - you can't really help that.
People tend to keep their distance.
Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It's the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside; that's the real reason that the relationships continue.
Everything has become so easy. It's great that it's at your fingertips, but I miss those good old days. And we're connected, but it can be very alienating. There is this distance between all of us because we're speaking to each other through cameras and monitors and icons and Emojis.
It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.
It's now possible to play and take lessons from any place of the world. The concept of physical distance doesn't exist in the online world, and that is so cool!
The distance between who you are and who you might be is closing.
