M8 this shit is still up on their channels and you still got everything wrong. You have sources for any of this?
TB did want Genna to take over and she was handling their podcast with Jesse and Dodger for a few months before it dropped off.
He had accepted his fate, that's why he was having Genna participate in the podcasts at the end. She almost never showed up in his main channel content before that.

TotalBiscuit's retirement post from the 1st of May 2018. Some excerpts, emphasis mine
What about Co-optional? Well that's sticking around. The show must go on after all. We will be moving forward with our proposal to shorten the show to 2 hours per episode however. This is for health reasons but also because lately I've felt like 3 hours drags on too much
Showing he has no intention to disengage from the podcast. Still tried to make arrangements to attend as late as May 8

As for weeks in which I simply cannot do the show (which hopefully wont happen but you can never be sure), Genna is going to be trained in production and will take on a host role, with the usual guests.
Shows Genna's role was only ever intended as a last minute fill in and the use of "going" says that up until this point, Genna hadn't received any real handover for TB's position.
Genna will be filling in for Dodger while she takes maternity leave anyway so, get used to hearing her voice.
Dodger announced her pregnancy on the
20th of January 2018 and from the footage it looks like she's 3, or at most 4 months pregnant. Her due date would therefore have been sometime around June at the absolute earliest (more likely July-August). It really shows how unrealistic TB was about his time remaining that he expected Genna would be filling in for Dodger and not himself.
I'll be doing gameplay streams and Youtube videos with Genna.
None materialized as he only embarked on his semi-retirement 3 weeks before dying.
When I leave this world I want to leave something my family can use to help them earn. Not only would I be ok with Genna taking over my channels and assets once I'm gone, I'd be delighted if she did. I've been encouraging her for years to create more content for Youtube, hopefully as we make a bunch of fun videos together over the next however-long, that confidence will grow.
Absolutely delusional about the amount of time he has left. He has a thin veneer of acceptance, but it's obvious he doesn't truly believe it given he's making plans that suggest he has many months or perhaps even years ahead.
I fully expect The Co-optional Podcast to go on and I love the thought that once I'm gone, the channels will go on in my absence, hosted by the person who knows me best and has been with me for the better part of my adult life.
I can't help but feel some type of way reading this given the state of his channel and the podcast now.
TB's channel is fucking dead, Genna is now some pathetic anime avatar vtuber thot, and the co-optional podcast is as dead as TB. Remnants of his brand barely lasted a year after his passing, given their last podcast was October 2019. It's directly a result of the attitude you see in that reddit post.
When I talked about TB's legacy I was trying to be nice, sugar coating things a little given the sad circumstances of his passing. But the reality is his legacy only lives on through fading memories of those who once enjoyed his content. The only silver lining is that the grave dancing weirdos are even more obscure and those fuckers are still alive.
If you want to see someone handle their inevitable death like a real man and pass on the torch in a way that ensures their legacy, see

And how TF do you think he knew it was the end if he didn't know the cancer had metastasized?
He knew in 2015 that his cancer had metastasized to his liver and his cancer was incurable

Well, I don't know if there is really a right way to tell people this, so I guess here goes. The CT did not come back negative. The cancer in the bowel is gone, but spots have appeared in my liver. They're not operable and there's no cure. Average life expectancy is 2-3 years, though there are outliers that live much longer. I'll be back on chemo in a few weeks, with the goal of pushing it back and keeping it there for as long as possible. I fully intend to be the outlier, the average is this way because most people that get this are old and not strong anymore. Who knows what they'll come up with in the next decade? I intend to beat it for as long as possible. Gonna need some time to process all of this. I don't really feel anything right now. Thanks.
He passed away 2.6 years after making this post. TotalBiscuit viewed himself as someone special who would defy the odds and he kept up that delusion until the end. Here's how he reacted when an oncologist suggested stopping treatment about a month before he passed.

Then there was that time he compared himself to Stephen Hawking

The reason I pointed people to the spinal cancer metastasis page is that's when I observed the thread shifting towards TB posting as basically everyone (except TB) could see the end was neigh. Given your loose grasp of the facts surrounding TB's diagnosis, you should consider reading the thread yourself.
Take your own advice. Your post reads like you were foaming at the mouth with rage while typing it.
I read Jam and it was shockingly bad. I've read a couple other Internet personality books and Yahtzee's was the only one I had to really force myself to finish.
The beginning was okay and it's the only reason I persisted until the end. I was really hoping the ending would redeem the story, but my recollection of it was that it had an absolutely ridiculous plot twist that was terrible.
Mogworld is a master piece by comparison.
