Very touching and sad video. I never saw his channel but when totalbiscuit died I cried also. To the parents empathizing with children, they are sad because they like the videos and believe this creator exists in the world. Then when they die it's like a friend they spend time with dying. For some people it can literally change their worldview.

#52For anyone that hasn't encountered Technoblade so far, the Great Potato War is an excellent place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qjnDd1rsII Fuck cancer
I never played Minecraft or the mod he is playing and the video still got laughs out of me. Appreciate the share.

#53He 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…
> So many of us spend so much time planning for the future, slogging through work to buy that house, etc.
I have a lot of mixed emotions and thoughts about this sentence. In the end I'll just agree that "slogging" is often too high a price for whatever you're slogging for, but it's really sad that a basic human need like having a place to live is something we have to slog for.

#54This 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…
A friend of mine died of that when they were 17. It was strange as she was feeling a bit down and went to a doctor and had a diagnoses and was dead about a month later. Was just out of nowhere and so fast.

Re: Minecraft content creator Technoblade has died
#56My teenage son knocked on our bedroom door last night after we'd all gone to bed. He was crying and told us his cousin had just texted him the news, and then he watched the video. We watched it again together. I cried and hugged him and we talked about it a little bit.
My kids were so isolated during covid lockdown, we were getting really worried for their mental state. They weren't seeing other kids their age, they felt like they had no friends, and there was one point when it seemed like they even stopped missing other people altogether.
But my son, especially, was deep into Minecraft Youtube at the time, and I could tell that this cast of creators was really important to him. It often felt like he was on a call with his fun and hilarious buddies, just on mute.
I think Technoblade, and other creators like him, helped get my son through the past couple years. I'm so grateful to him for that.

The shear odds of this occurring to a popular YouTuber are pretty stunning. Only about 1000 people get osteosarcoma every year in the US, and (best as I could find) around that many YouTube channels have over 10 million subscribers. Such a terrible confluence of extreme rarities.

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's what I keep thinking about whenever I watch the tv show For All Mankind. It would be so much better if we competed on things that are actually important.
Nah, everybody’s at the mall scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking out his credit card out of a fanny pack and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them
Hey, my 3 year old is very happy with sneakers with lights in.

Say what you will about him, but TB was a great consumer advocate and the hole he left behind was never really filled.
