He and Nick Stadler (the artist Cliff had worked with on Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and 2) are some of the biggest pieces of shit ever existed in the gaming industry.

I feel bad for the ex gf. She did literally nothing wrong but she's been thrown into the spotlight with this. I hope she's not the type to overly blame herself.

Fucking kek at the "therapist" sharing the suicide hotline in the comments. Good job, buddy. If only what's-his-face had access to a bored volunteer with 30 minutes of training, he would surely still be with us.

I was never a fan of Reckful, or any streamer really. Twitch is a terrible platform that I only use to watch Dota tournaments, which has it's own ridiculous bullshit going on right now too. This is a perfect example of how badly the mental health care industry has failed so many people like Byron there. Such a shame. I am glad that Shadowlands has a troon character in it though. The final push I needed to for sure not buy it, so thanks @Huge Fuckin Nerd.

The reaction to his death has been.... well I don't know what I expected.
  • 'We just need to force more positivity, ban all negativity'
  • 'Just shout down people that disagree with you if you think they are toxic'
  • *uses death to attempt to start a conservation on why this is all actually about racism*
  • 'People just need to be better; No social media isn't the problem'
All these 'solutions' to prevent more suicides I am hearing are just going to drive more people to suicide in the long term.

Well that's because of the ones talking, nobody really cared about him. It's all good when it's to push their own agenda.

It all started in 2014..... and then suddenly everything was political.

He was just weak. Defective.
Even worms have a self-preservation instinct.

I got no sympathy for the suicidal. At best I'm hoping for some kind of "point proving" shock value suicide a la Budd Dwyer to analyze and laugh at.

Dude, I reveled in one bastard nobody psuedololcow's neeting to minecraft forever, but that's only because I knew how much of an unlikable self absorbed prick he was, and he knew it too. If I laughed at every suicide victim, I'd probably be your friend.

Time and fucking place, dude.

This kind of lifestyle, where all you do is play video games and stream them to other people that just watch people play video games, is completely unrewarding and leads to depression, especially considering they have to play a shitty product even if they don't want to most of the time to remain relevant. I don't follow streamers much but I have seen the data posted proving that pivoting to other games can be a huge viewership loss, and despite the fact that I'm sure he was pretty rich, he was more than likely afraid to switch to something else, mental health be damned.

Same thing happens with YouTubers which is why you get those every 6~ month videos about their mental health and how it's hard to keep dodging all the blows thrown by YouTube. Living exclusively in pop-culture is actually killing people at this point. One could argue that they would have done it no matter what, but I don't think that's the case, considering how many of their issues seem to be exacerbated by their day-to-day lives and the media they're consuming for profit wearing them thin.

Reckful's brother weighs in. Suicide is a family curse.

That's just heartbreaking. Imagine being the middle sibling and having to experience both an older and younger sibling take their own lives. Not to mention the part about having no siblings left. My heart goes out to this guy.

This guy was one of the best players of all time in Asheron's Call. In that game you could dodge spells, fight odds, and be a PK god if you had real skill. On Darktide (FFA pvp server, loot drops on death) he had a cast that was way ahead of his time. He could slide around, dodge war spells like a mofo, and break animation. In the early years of the game people just didn't play like that. Reckful (or Anti-Parazi as he was known back then) was a force to be reckoned with.

It's too bad he killed himself like a selfish fuck and made kids and innocent bystanders see his splattered corpse, and that people had to clean up his mess. He was a real talented player back in the day. He should have stuck with AC, gotten a real job, and not whored himself out to warcraft queers on twitch. Now his family is in a living hell and his remaining brother has no siblings left, so fuck him.

I didn't see this posted but I thought this was interesting:

The girl deleted her claims... someone feels guilty.

Holy shit, I hope this gets signal boosted. There were some people earlier in the thread saying his death wasn't #MeToo related. Now this makes a completely different picture of his mental state.

Probably another opportunist. She basically says "he hit on me reee'"...I know it's been said befiore, but the "he looked at me funny I was triggered #MeToo" wave of thots has been seeing nothing but praise and new subscribers for cannibalizing male streamers.

Also she's an OnlyFans girl. lmao ironic

Guessing his AC time was during his ban from warcraft. He was permantly banned for a few years until it was removed.
