      wrecklessly

      It was actually the exact opposite. Could even call it wreckfully

    I have really hard time feeling anything about this. In the video it seems like he is driving over the speed limit coming out of the tunnel. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    I understand that losing somebody close to you hurts and i hope all the good for his family and people close to him and hopefully they get to mourn in peace without media tearing the case open, but personally i cant but think rich dude does stupid rich dude things and paid the price.

    Sorry in before hand if i offended somebody.

      no, seems like a pretty level-headed response. it’s a tragedy of his own making.

    First, I’m sorry for all the people who will miss him, which includes a lot of lemmings. And I’m sorry for both him and his passenger, it’s a painful way to go.

    But Angeles Crest Highway is notorious for Ferraris and Lamborghinis speeding crazily while fans film them, zooming past people who are just trying to get safely up and down the mountain.

    In real life, dead is dead.

    At least they didn’t hit another car. And the car didn’t fall down into a ravine, potentially sparking a wildfire and/or putting rescuers at risk retrieving the bodies.

      Yeah he was definitely speeding inside the tunnel. There is a video of the crash and the road slightly turns to the left after the tunnel. And he couldn’t even make that turn. Crashed right into the barrier with the right side of the car.

    Titanfall 2 was a masterpiece. The last PvP game I actually enjoyed.

      It was so damn good. One of those games where I paid for all the DLC just because I wanted more of it and I know how EA operates. Too bad Apex seemed to kill off that hope.

      RIP Vince, you made an indelible mark on the industry and will forever be remembered.

    Are you fucking serious?? I was just thinking about how he made BF6 super good (when it fucking works) when he got hired to work on it.

    This one really hurts. He is one of my biggest inspirations and I feel like the industry has lost one of the last remaining greats :/

    Someone wanted him dead. I know for a fact this was a sacrifice, because he spoke too much about something that broke an NDA. Break an NDA, and you’re well known… you’re dead to them.

      seek help and get on medication.

        I just have him tagged as “schizo”, helps keep me from accidentally getting sucked into conversation with him. Hopefully he gets help someday.

      TW: Potentially the dumbest comment I’ve ever read on Lemmy.

      The human mind is impressive. To be able to blurt that out, while still knowing how to use the internet and post it on a little know place on the web, knowing you will be downvoted to shit…

      I highly recommend watching www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/

      And if you don’t get it, watch it again. And again.

        Maybe you haven’t watched www.imdb.com/title/tt0264

      Wait, what’s the “under a hex (44)” from? He was 55.

      Also I get 79 for “murder”, where did you get 38? And for “Call of Duty”? I don’t know shit about Numerology honestly lol

      source
      • msokiovt@lemmy.today ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        38 is commonly associated with murder. Call of Duty is 38 in many different ciphers.

        Maybe check these ciphers (of which I use 16): Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction, Reverse Reduction, Latin, Sumerian, Reverse Sumerian, Satanic, Reverse Satanic, Single Reduction, KV Exception, SKV Exception, Reverse Single Reduction, EP Exception, EHP Exception, Chaldean

      This is more apophenia than numerology.
