on top of that, imagine them putting in more effort than him. he would look pretty bad. And progressing the story at a steady rate means it´s going to end faster. and with that, he would lose his income. so why should he work and progress the not existing story if he can milk for years on end?
Thats the part that kills me! does he not have any other ideas? I can't wait to get to a place that I can afford to hire on help. I have 16 other game ideas waiting in the wings! If I don't eventually hire help, I will never finish them all!

It's not about doing the work, it's about quality.
When arguably the biggest problem is missing dates, that isn't a quality issue... that is a work ethic issue, which is doing the work.

Edit: if he does the work, gets the content out and it is shit, that would be a quality issue. That hasn't been a massive problem for him, it's been getting it out.

preglovr12 was meaning that the reason BD won't hire help is because he doesn't trust anyone elses quality of work.

I can understand the point that is being made, but quality is far easier to address than a shit work ethic. Hiring some help and coaching up a bit on quality isn't a gigantic task, and would help himself.

I don't think hiring anyone would actually help BD. His issues are mostly mental, not his ability to produce content.

And even if that weren't true, BD wouldn't be a good project manager. Which anyone who hires help needs to be.

See his experiments with Mackenzie, who probably never actually existed in the first place. As the only "help" he's hired/had.

This just reminded me of something I think about from time to time. Have you ever noticed how often people try to play multiple roles and just can't pull it off? Either they're logged into the wrong account while commenting, forget whose perspective they're supposed to be speaking from (e.g., my car versus his car), or screw up the timings of their separate characters. You can even see this in poorly directed movies where someone's on the phone. Actors end up having entire conversations without actually giving the imaginary other person enough time to speak entire sentences between lines. A good director would assist by having the actor actually be on the phone with someone to force realistic delays between lines, but too often this just doesn't happen.

I've seen people pre-write their conversations with themselves on forums, then paste and submit those comments in a matter of seconds. It's funny when it's multiple paragraphs from each character and the timestamps show 40 seconds between posts. Sure, that's totally enough time to read, comprehend, reply, and submit.

People are fucking awful at multitasking character roles and it's hilarious to catch.

This is downright terrible, it makes Grandma's house a Shakespearean novel in comparison
Totally right, and yet, he has 4 stars because we got some inbreeds here who don't understand how to rate things... It feels bad that the review system is helping this brainrot scammer to get more victims...
It would be nice if the review system would be more trustworthy, for example being able to upvote or downvote reviews... But I guess it's complicated.
