This begs the question, do you think there is some kind of 'suicide gene'? as fuked up as that sounds. I mean both sons committed suicide. RIP Reckful. Feel really bad for the parents

[kr1kit]

Damn bro, I remember watching Reckful back in The Burning Crusade, even before YouTube really, when he was the best PvPer in the world, he really put PvP on the map.

I hadn't watched him in yearsss since he quit WoW but he was always a funny and entertaining guy. He a pioneer, one of the first "e-sports" celebrities if you will.

Not as such, but the fact that it is much, much higher in males is something that isn't often discussed in a meaningful way.

I really feel for the parents too - I get the feeling Reckful never got over his older brother's suicide.

he was bi polar, so was his brother who killed himself. Sever depression most of his life.

[AriesTH]

Gosh I can not imagine being his parents right now. I feel so bad for them. Poor guy suffered with depression for so long. I wish he could've somehow got the help he needed.

[nn586]

Originally I joked and said he got Hillary'd but then I read this "Hes been struggling with depression since his brother commited suicide, i can't imagine the pain of his parent seeing 2 of their son commit suicide, must be devastating."

thats fcking sad as someone with a younger brother.. RIP

He tried to be happy but couldn't because he always gets into moods that push people away.

Look at his twitter post from today
https://mobile.twitter.com/Byron

The guy was with Becca but didnt work out due to his moods but said he felt the most happy at that point. Prob kept overthinking about that and his life and just ended it.

He has been using shrooms daily because he said it helped him the most with the moods. You can even find the streams when hes on shrooms and its kind of scary to see his thoughts.

Unlucky guy. Had everything but couldnt enjoy due to depression.

[rocketfish]

honestly don't know the man, but RIP. I hope to never go through depression.

My heart goes out to people like that. My uncle committed suicide - I always thought of him as this really happy guy. Never ever heard him complain or anything. I learned years ago that the demons that some people (many of us) have inside are not easily dealt with - especially not alone.

[Jhamaican]

RIP

loved watching his stuff

it seems to me spending hours upon weeks upon months to years living in a virtual world is probably not the best for your real life health and happiness.

100% sincerity: should be outside lifting weights and doing manual labor in the sun at least once in a while

I wonder if that did him any good. He is in his 30s and his community is probably some edgy teens. I remember years ago people made fun of his brother killing himsel and also told him to kill himself too, he cried on stream.

This just legit made me so mad to read. People are ****ed.

[irollurmom]

one of the Twitch OGs. I was never really into WoW or Hearthstone, but Reckful seemed like a solid guy. RIP

a good majority of these gamer kids are huge pieces of crap. scumbags. gen z is filled with the most scumbags for sure.

Rest in peace

His last couple of tweets were a major cry for help, He proposed to her on Twitter and then it snowballed from there. I don't know who he was but I can relate with those feelings of hopelessness and depression etc, feel bad for his family.

[ohiostate124]

Apparently he proposed to this girl on Twitter while she was asleep and this is what she woke up to.

It was his ex with who he broke up with like a year ago. And I think he broke up with her instead of the other way around because he thought he is too mentally ill to be in a serious relationship with her or anyone.

I mean, like people said ITT: it is hard for say, a therapist to state that everything he suffered from would be derived from "mental illness". I'm not denying that he suffered in many different ways during his life, and I hope he rests in peace, but like an earlier poster mentioned it may not have been great to talk to truly negative 'edgy' teenagers on Twitch who would 'joke' about him killing himself etc.

I feel sorry for his parents but I wonder where they were in all this - if he even kept in touch with them, spoke to them, or had a professional therapist who he could talk to. People in his sort of situation come across as extremely lonely to me - whether that is the truth of their situation or whether it is simply how they feel.

I didn't watch him every day but yeah he was lonely for sure. Remember his insta asking if someone wants to move in with him like a month ago.

As far as parents go i know his mother is also diagnosed as bipolar, same as him and his brother who suicided before. So yeah sucks.

Only watched his amsterdam IRL streams and remember one hour he feels so active and the next one he is angry and sad, knew smth is up.

[dmaaack]

Really sad. I watched his streams on and off for years. He was a very likeable guy.
Seeing him struggle over the years with his mental health and it ending like this is just awful.

[KILLdante]

was gonna post this in the main misc cause i knew we had some early wow players on here

**** sucks. 2020 seriously sucks. reckful is the reason i started playing rogue.

thoughts go out to his parents as well as this is the second child that they've had commit suicide. it's terrible.

rest in peace byron

[BearyManilowe]

Watched a good bit of Reckful when I had dreams of streaming back in College.

Reckful
Duck sauce
Woundman

Were my top 3. I watched some Alinity too but that was for other reasons, nahmean?

Sad to hear man. Read that his brother committed suicide too and that's even more rough.

[KingKringe]

had no idea bipolar was that bad

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Not as such, but the fact that it is much, much higher in males is something that isn't often discussed in a meaningful way.

Not to be sexist, but males are under so much more pressure in so many ways than females. And on top of that we're not supposed to let our feelings out, etc as men. Not really hard to understand why, at least on the surface, males commit suicide at a much higher rate than females.

people were very very upset at me for standing at the altar in the stormwind cathedral while everyone else was in there kneeling

Don't worry, your ban is coming. Blizzards liberal asses just ban anyone for pretty much any reports these days.
