I am so sorry. I know this feeling. My colleague died in a motorcycle accident. As awful as it may sound, we had to take over what he worked on because... you know... show must go on. I was flown over to his office to prepare a big event he was preparing for weeks. I sat in his chair. On the hanger there still was his leather jacket. The atmosphere in the office... Life is brutal. We remember you Gabriel!
It is worse, he wasn't even sad, just sad that such talent was loss, not a person. I seriously think Jonathan Blow has Aspergers symptom or something from the way he behaves.
Sure, that sounds strange to me too, but humans are really complicated and I don't expect everyone to value the same things I do. This is what he has spent a large portion of his life pursuing. I would not say "it is worse" for what I think about another's motivations should not have any weight in this matter. @@sheezy2526
@@sheezy2526 Someone's talents makes up part of who they are right? What you're good at, what you're bad at. You can miss someone for what made them who they were..
@@sheezy2526 Yes, he seems like it. I have Asperger. What you are seeing here is a person with serious difficulties to understand and communicate his own emotions trying his best to show them. he said he was young, talented, and with a bright future ahead. it is not easy to process loss. Aspergers are very analytical, and unless they are masking, they won't feel the necessity to explain you something as evident as how fucked up the death of a young talented boy is. We simply ignore some emotions, which does not mean we do not have them.
How strange of YT to recommend this video to me. I found out about Zach's passing from a tweet. I literally could not believe it, I thought it was a sick joke. Then, some time later that day, Jon starts the stream. I still remember I opened it at this exact moment 03:50 and after a few moments I realised what was going on and the tears just started rolling, man RIP Zach. Just unbelievable
I took a look at his website (GitHub pages) and he made a final commit on April 27: if(new Date() - new Date('4/30/2023') > 0) document.getElementById('hi').src = "hiwas.png"; hiwas.png is the new homepage that says "Hi! This was my site. I was Jack, I made puzzles & stuff:" Now I'm also sad :(
This feels kinda weird, after a coworker I worked a lot with died I changed my PC lock screen to what I think is that exact candle flame image in the thumbnail. Minor thing, but wild.
May the invisible sky daddy that definitely exists forgive him for a sin that also definitely wasn't invented by bronze-age people trying to control others...
@@remuswt1035 All I want to say is that Blow should be nicer to women and stop hating on them so much makes him look like a massive creep. What the hell am I to do? I don't belong here. Just like Blow don't belong in discussions on if women can be programmers which for some reason he thinks they are incapable of. But hey its not my fault he is Blowing his reputation by being such a fucking creep.

“I just got sad for a second” is just super relatable

Another brilliant young man, gone with the wind. Rest in peace. Everyone should go play Enigmash, it really is absolutely brilliant.
Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn
@@enshk79why even comment?
that is so sad.. i wasn't expecting this at all. Rest in Peace.
Hi Lucy. Good to run into you randomly. Hope you are doing well.
LUCCCCY!!!!!

RIP Zach. Just unbelievable
Passed away suddenly on May 1, 2023@@lanchanoinguyen2914
His obituary is in the description if you want to read it. Rest in peace.
RIP young man
really really sad to hear, RIP
RIP, first I've heard of this, same age as me, hope he finds peace wherever he is
I've never seen Jonathan cry. This alone is sad.
RIP, Jack Lance.
Consider boosting the volume when vod is low.
This is cutting my soul.
Rest in peace
My condolences.
Yes, indeed Enigmash is a fantastic puzzle game.
the puzzles in enigmash are so quirky and clever they make me smirk every time
RIP
I took a look at his website (GitHub pages) and he made a final commit on April 27:
if(new Date() - new Date('4/30/2023') > 0) document.getElementById('hi').src = "hiwas.png";
hiwas.png is the new homepage that says "Hi! This was my site. I was Jack, I made puzzles & stuff:"
Now I'm also sad :(
Wow, he took his own life.
I have been in that hell of depression.
Technically speaking that was his second of last commit
@@sporefergieboy10 DUDE.
Dammit
Damn, from the title I thought the topic was more conceptual like death of the author or something... RIP
Take care of yourself, I hope you manage.
that sucks
Rest in peace. Zach made brilliant games.
“Jonathan Blow talks about next project after Sokoban game ships.”
its a bummer for his friends and family. sad to see someone go so young, would be nice to add his name to the credits with an R.I.P type thing
❤
Man... Just tried Enigmash. It's soooo cool! Damn.... what could've been.... :/

forgive him for what.

@@stysner4580 Say what you want about religion, but he's coming off as more kind hearted than you. Think about that.
@@user-og6hl6lv7p You think so? You think telling people their loved ones that kill themselves burn in hell is kind? Think about that.
What happened? There is a story to be told here and Jon won't tell it probably, understandably so, because he probably took his life.
fentanyl
I am not being cynical: Was he vaccinated?
It is stated on his obituary page that he "passed away suddenly".
@@youtubeenjoyer1743 That's why I'm asking. It makes my blood boil.
Trying to feed your cognitive bias ah?
@@josemwarrior *confirmation bias?
@@highlyillegalpigeonbruh the oil companies murder 6 million a year with coal alone. Stop making up villains, it covers for the real ones,

Covid? You realise it was suicide right
It wasn't that, the commit on his GitHub indicated he took his own life
I think I might be to hard on Blow sometimes but then I remember that Blow is even harder when he sees liberal college women studying tech.
wtf?

great time for an ad hominem, midwit
context? Never saw/heard Blow talking about women lmao.
