My interest in gaming plummeted after he passed.

I was also in this position, there is so much gaming content out there but the whole state of journalism seems to have really fallen off.

Last year I discovered MinnMax though and some of my faith has been restored. They are a community funded group of journalists and enthusiasts who run a weekly ~3 hour podcast about games and the industry. They are mature, lucid, insightful, and also pretty funny. They've also been doing a yearly best-of list for a long time which is a good jumping off point if you want to dip your toe in. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in gaming and the industry.

Same here, friend. Still hits me every now and then when I see a Steam game with a recommendation from his curator page. Doesn't happen too often these days, but still the occasional older game I haven't picked up yet goes on sale.

Especially this week.

A big loss. I'm still wondering what happened to his family since then. I heard they got out of the USA?

I've understood the dogs got new owners, Genna moved to South Korea.

I can't remember hearing anything about him, I also couldn't find anything with a quick search yesterday.

Guy was a legend, I bought Terraria because of him. His voice and style was amazing. Rest in piece!

This one hits hard. "Gaming YouTube" isn't the same without him, I don't watch many gaming videos nowadays

I'll never forget him for introducing me to dungeons of dredmor, the game is the bad roguelike, but I don't know if I ever would have gotten into roguelikes without it

I've never heard anyone else mention Dungeons of Dredmor! That's the game that taught me how much I loathe total randomness in roguelikes. Without it I wouldn't have discovered Dwarf Fortress, Cataclysm, and a host of others where your skill actually matters, so even though I hated DoD I'm glad I picked it up after TB's video.

(And the artist of Dredmor later ended up on the development team of my literal favorite game ever, Starsector. Weird how things turn out.)
