Re: Minecraft content creator Technoblade has died
#22My teenage daughter made an irregular visit to my study about an hour ago to let me know of this news. I let her know that I didn't know this Technoblade, but this news seemed to hit my usually tough exterior daughter pretty hard, so he had some type of positive impact to my family. It is a touching tribute video they released.
My teenage daughter came to me with tears in her eyes earlier today and asked me to watch a video. I watched with her and my heart sank. We shed a tear together for them. She had just made a ceramic pig mask at school a month ago, and regularly wears his merch. I'm glad he has been able to touch so many lives positively.

#23I never watched Technoblade but god this is so fucking sad. I know he was close with Skeppy who I used to watch all the time. I hope he's doing okay.
Rest in peace, lad.

#24He popped into my mind at random last night, and I remember thinking "It's been so long since he uploaded anything" and being hit by a little bit of dread. My friends going back as far as high school and I are extremely saddened by the news. We had so many great hours watching his content together - it was always a big event. We've split all across the globe, but we'd get together online and watch his latest uploaded together whenever something came out.
Much like when TotalBiscuit passed away when I was young (he seemed so old then, and now I'm almost his age!), I'm suddenly struck by thoughts about how I'm spending my time, and how none of us are guaranteed a long time here on earth. So many of us spend so much time planning for the future, slogging through work to buy that house, etc., and it's good to remember - though I dearly wish the reminders didn't have to come in such a shocking fashion - that you should enjoy some of the time you have now, just in case you don't get more later.
Maybe a little bit corny... but he's earned one more for the road - Technoblade never dies!

#25His latest update video before the farewell video is actually a great introduction to his humor and situation: https://youtu.be/wG1Q1ouemVA
Technoblade never dies.

#2622 is far too young. I've been watching his videos since 2017- the picture in today's video of him in a hospital bed with his 10 million subscriber play button absolutely destroyed me. He used to joke all the time about hitting 10 million subscribers as if it could never happen, and the fact that it did is a monument to all the time and effort he put in- should've lived to 100 million. A reminder to us all- life is precious, live it to the fullest while you still can.
They're all good, but if you want a video to watch, I'd recommend his 1 million subscriber special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3rnhyu000w

#27RIP legend! Got to know of Techno from my autistic son whose only outlet at that time was minecraft(wait he was battling axels even today). But what a young age to pass and what a legacy he leaves behind. Thats the power of the internet. RIP! Respects.

#28The farewell video is posted here: https://youtu.be/DPMluEVUqS0 and is read by the father of Alex (aka Technoblade).
Man I couldn't bare to watch the whole thing, it was too sad.
Re: Minecraft content creator Technoblade has died
#29This is speculation but his symptoms and age appear consistent with metastatic osteosarcoma (bone cancer that has spread, typically to the lungs). Osteosarcoma treatment has not had a breakthrough in decades, so it's a very bad cancer to get. Surgical techniques have gotten more effective at preserving limb function, and there are more tools to ameliorate symptoms from aggressive chemotherapy, but the fundamentals ha…
You don’t need to share your theories on someone’s death to the world. It’s not your place and serves no purpose.
When I had a friend that was well-known in the tech world pass, all sorts of people came out with conspiracy theories on what his “real” cause of death was. To the bereaved, coming across random theories just hurts. Outside of that, opining without any medical expertise or insights on how he died serves no one but your own ego

Same for my 12yo son. He seemed to have connected very well with his audience.
