    I mean this is a games discussion forum, and here you are posting sad news in order to farm internet points.

    I kinda think that's inappropriate tbh

    I appreciated it...I had not heard yet.

    This isn't exactly the place for this discussion unless you have posted this purely for the forum stars....maybe try reddit for the internet gratification.

    Not to play Devil's advocate but....

    As an informed community of gamers, a share of knowledge like this with impact IMO should be considered ok. Maybe it could have gone somewhere else, and maybe it was rash, but i don't think his intentions were negative. Bigger things exist IRL.

    Perhaps instead of dogging the post we should just move past it and honor the man himself.

    Just my two pennies.

    Keep your pennies, nobody wants that ***. The Off-topic forum exists for a very specific purpose.

    There is no "off-topic" forum, just FYI.

    It just does not belong here. Facebook is the place where this sort of thing belongs.

    Or The News - where most people who want to know things, find out about things.

    There are always and will always be immature and moronic people in the world, it's not just the gaming industry.

    As said by others though when an off-topic thread like this comes up (and we've had them for others that passed away) then people will normally mess about a bit and troll because they know the thread will be locked/removed.

    Ah yes. A page out of the much maligned and disrespected "because I said so" school of science. A researcher is expected (and in many situations, required) to provide the data backing his or her assertions. This is especially true when the claims flout the commonly accepted theories. You lose all credibility by making a semi-outrageous claim, and not backing it.

    Which doesn't mean a thing with respect to the reality.

    Besides if the earth were flat, there'd be nothing left on it as cats would've shoved everything off by now.

    Humanity also appeared to be intelligent and constantly evolving over the years. I feel that you're a good example of the opposite.

    Let's talk about reality then

    Solipsism

    Everything you experience has to be interpreted by your consciousness first. So maybe all those great thinkers and intellectuals don't actually exist. They could just be a complete figment of your imagination. Maybe the only truth in the universe is yourself. Maybe only you exist. So then who do you listen to? Do you accept what the smart thinkers are telling you, or do you go out into space and observe the earth with your very own eyes? That would be the only way to know for sure that what you are experiencing is the truth
