dudes younger than I am; sad.

what was it, cancer?

Yes. Liver cancer IIRC

No, it was colon cancer.

Which is even more fucked up because that's the type of cancer you don't typically see until you're at least in your 50's I believe.


His family had a history of getting it at a young age so he was genetically predisposed to it. He still waited for months to get it checked out too.

Just two days ago he was saying that his surgery was successful and he was getting better physically. He never posted a negative update after that. It's crazy how fast things turn for the worst.

It's a thing called "The Rally" I believe. People feel better, almost normal right before death.

This sucks to hear, I knew he didn't have much time, but it went from a few weeks ago from "We can't do anything about the cancer" anymore to this...


That's usually how it works. When they stop talking about treatment and start talking pain management, you can measure your time left in weeks, if not days. Based on his recent updates, I was not surprised to hear this today.

His "recent update" was just about pain management. His pain was unbearable, he was in constant agony. They were able to mitigate some of the fluid buildup and reduce the pain, but he was still dying.

The worst part is that i think a few days ago he posted saying the trial medicine he was taking took most of the pain away...

At least he wont feel pain anymore, rest in peace.

I've known five people who wished cancer on others, and all have died from it--the people wishing it on others that is... Kinda fucked up. Weird observation aside, it's pretty goddamn painful to watch someone go through that, hope his friends and family at least fine some solace in the fact that he doesn't have to suffer any more.

Think it was like 3 days ago he said he was getting/feeling better. Shit's scary as hell.

promote a good immune system capable of seeking out cancer. Eat well, exercise, get sun. There are some anti-carcinogenic foods such as anything containing Phytic Acid (pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, almonds) or Flavonoids (most citrus fruits, wine, peanuts)

I don't really know what to say. TB was one of my favorite youtubers and video game critics. I didn't realize he was only a year older than I am.

Also, apparently some SJW type assholes are shitting on him on social media post-death because something-something Gamergate and reasons.

you're both right. it started off as very treatable, survivable colon cancer but he ignored the symptoms for too long and it spread to his liver which is what fucked him.

Just going back to that Warframe stream, Totalbiscuit apparently helped save that company. From what I've seen people say, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy before he did a video on the game. His video garnered enough interest in people that they had a big influx of players and backers. It's now a five-year-old game and seems to still be going.

This wasn't even unique. He brought a big influx of players into League of Legends and Path of Exile. One Finger Death Punch devs stated that they were planning on the game being a financial failure the day his video came up:

The surgery was just to relieve pain from the cancer generating a lot of fluid build up. In fact that is probably what ended up triggering his death since it was causing rapid organ damage and failure.

And he was one of the big early pushers for Dark Souls and other Japanese games coming to PC.

He's also one of the major contributers to PC gaming, in general, coming back to be as big as it is now over the last decade.

Not going to pretend he wasn't a douche nozzle just because he died and made some internet videos I enjoyed. Stopped watching his videos before he got cancer just because he was a fucking edgy child like dick.

There's several other things I recall him saying to people that were fucked up too but I don't remember enough to search for them.

Apparently his Twitter is protected. So, hopefully some folks have been giving him a ton of shit for being a petty asshole.

Apparently his axe to grind is mostly "TB criticized games I worked on" and "something something Gamergate bogeyman".

You can take some measures to protect against it which of course are good things to do, but it's really luck of the draw it seems and you can never truly be guaranteed to never get it.

Some people can live unhealthily their whole lives and make it to 99 without cancer, while others like TB can suddenly develop it and die in their 30s.
