    This channel needs to blow up because this content is almost as good as game theories. Please remember me when you blow up.

    Fun fact: Mojang, Minecraft's devs, put a crown on the pig on Minecraft's launcher, as well as a possible phrase "Technoblade never dies" on the game's main title screen
  • One of the worst feelings is hearing one of your most beloved youtubers pass, rewatching their videos is always bitter sweet.

    I remember seeing the “so long nerds” video 2 years ago. I hadn’t cried like that in like 10 years. It had such an impact on me. His famous phrase “technoblade never dies” was never meant for his physical life but for his legacy that will never die. This was a great video. Would love to see more videos like this one

    The way that Techno’s fanbase all rallied around his father after his passing always warms my heart. We could have all just wallowed in our parasocial grief, but we saw a man who’d lost his son, a son who’d barely been allowed to be a man (Alex was only 23 when he passed), and we all decided to support him, even gave him the nickname Technodad.

    Don't forget that not only did Google tribute to techno, but so did Microsoft. The Minecraft Java launcher, for about 2-3 months after his death, the pig on the launcher had a crown on.

    What makes game theory so different from everyone else is that he’s basically a father. so many kids grew up looking at him play games or theorize about them, almost made memories with him. only wholesomeness comes out of that man. when/if dantdm quits, there’s going to be the exact same response. they both raised a generation.
  • “So Long Nerds” might be the only video on YouTube I have ever fully cried on. I started watching him so long ago I don’t even remember. I watched him for so many years, from the very beginning. Nobody was more fun to watch than him.

    That technoblade section hits hard man...so long Techno
  • @Bunny_Bill
    Damn the techno part made me cry. I wasn't even subscribed to him but he was just so influential
  • @AbsoluteShortss
    I remember the days I used to go to my room and just binge watch techno’s vids for hours and hours endlessly😢 he was a great man…
  • The ending section with Techno, it reveals that he’s at this point the embodiment of “You may have killed the man, but you cannot kill the spirit/idea.” His influence was felt across so much, due to his skill, dedication, and overall care for anything he put his hands on. I’m sure when he was around, he was the greatest friend to have. And to this day, there’s still tributes to him, as he deserves. He shouldn’t be forgotten, ever.

    If EDP would have gotten the Chuck E Cheese job he would become the real life William Afton
  • @Ruii.Ruicha
    the fact youtube even made a video about techno definitely says something about the impact of his death
  • @CringeDesmo
    just seeing the image with techno dad in a white void, it genuinely makes me cry a little bit
  • @Silencer796
    Why does every video feel like Matpat is dying… he’s just working behind the scenes.
  • @LordDaret
    For Dream, what went wrong with the face reveal was probably more to do with his faked speed run controversy with the Minecraft community. It created a massive crack in his reputation and created a grumble of discontent. The face reveal was merely the catalyst that allowed for his general audience to complain rather than his face being… disappointing? (It’s usually weird for face reveals to go wrong.)

    Top tier video, quick, concise, and without heavy personal bias in viewing the individual like many videos. 10/10
