Sorry Video

Felt like a kick in the gut when he said he wasn't gonna be able to see the ending of AOT. And he was so excited for Banjo and Dragon Quest Heroes on Smash, and for BOTW2, and... Fuck, man. Another promising life cut short by mental illnesses. I hope he's at peace now.

Ah, yeah same. When I think about ctb I just think of Cyberpunk 2077, Death Stranding and a Dragon's Dogma sequel. All those great games and experiences, and to never see or play them scares me. FOMO.

Yeah the video didn't load for me either. However, I found another link that contained the sorry video. Anyways, I have watched the video and he seems rather calm when talking about suicide. He is quite rational in his last video and in my opinion, I don't think he impulsively decided to CTB'd as he knew what he has done and that he was finished with life for good. Finally, he did mention quite a few good points, especially about social media and what not.

Oh I read a article about him right after he CTBed. It made it look like social media is responsible. And made him look like a fool. Humanity just loves to shit on people after they CTB.

His audience egged him into doing harmful things, and encouraged him to delve deeper into his mental illness. The smart thing Etika needed to do was to take time off away from the computer, but he just couldn't because he was the main breadwinner in his family and wanted to support his mom so she didn't need to work as hard. His drama pulled in more people, and more people = more money. More money = more to support his family.

His fans would also always spam the clown emote at him, so even his own fans thought he was a fool. It really goes to show how normal people treat the mentally ill, and then when they die, they act somber and sad, wondering what more they could have done, and then shilling for some dumb pro-life charity.

You should what the cesspool of site ResetEra was saying about him. The site is a giant echo chamber and everyone hates them.

I posted about this in the "Random thoughts" thread. I still stand by what I said. Our social media is killing people.

I'm not a gamer (I suck at it) so I didn't know who he was but I did read of his passing.
