Indie developer stereotype's

Hey, so I was wondering what stereotype’s indie developers have and a lot of people have a generalization that indie developers or any game developers are overweight or massively underweight especially after indie game the movie. I’d like to know other stereo types you all have ? plus a description what you’re like so here’s mine.

I’m overweight ( big woop )
Pretty much a loner
Socially awkward
Despise most of human kind

Note: These aren’t self added tags to me.

Also if you don’t feel free to post information about yourself just add something about the subject.

These aren’t indie developer stereotypes, these are nerd stereotypes. A better indie developer stereotype would be that all indies are nerds.

I’m fit, social, and not awkward.

So I don’t fit the stereotype in any way.

Industrial quantities of indie stereotypes right here…

HAHAH! brilliant. decided to follow even though I never tweet or look at the site.

I don’t really fit in… I’m underweight, sociable around people (though I should say, people I know- if I don’t know them I can’t keep I contact with them for more than 0.125 of a second). I’m no loner, however, by any means.

Though it’s true, I think humanity is the worst thing to happen to the planet.

Underweight… well… have you seen my photo recently?

^ this. Stereotypes are a trap, not an excuse.

I’m in good shape, sociable and enjoy the company of others as well as alone. I still despise most of mankind, though…lol. :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree the human race is generally gone to shit though.

Just take a look at television these days… The half decent shows get canned after one seasons, while shit like geordie/jersey shore gets 10…

humanity is shit.

I’m not out of shape, but I’m definitely awkward and a real loner.

You know you should start a poll…

Need to put some meat on them bones.

Agree, TV during Greek times was much more entertaining.

+1.

Heh? In my country atleast its the opposite, normally skinny, gets drunk and parties, gives speeches and lectures to less experienced devs and overly social (especially the c++ programmers). Yet again where I live its mostly c++ or 2D flash dev. I don’t see why xna devs (indie game movie) would be any different.

Bah, TV during Greek times was like having NASCAR on 24/7… either the chariots were always going around in circles or the lions chasing some poor guy were always going around in circles.

Technically, indies only have monotypes… we can’t afford stereo

I fit the stereotype pretty closely, though I do go out of my way to be social and fail most of the time…Especially after I got married.

I don’t have any friends and I don’t go out, so I wouldn’t know what the stereotype is.

Yeah but at least we dont have to commute.

lol@that

I think to be indie you should be at less somewhat proactive… if not you will end like me as a wanna be indie… hahaha
