Technoblade yo techno if everything goes perfectly, I'm going to space 🚀 0_0 That or RU-vid. Ok I have no idea what I'm gona do man my future is gona be great tho!
Yeah, but look at it this way. "If the button was 90% death I wouldn't do it bc I'm a coward." He technically proved himself wrong. He did one of the most ballsy things you could do. Still try to shoot for the stars.
Yea man he died at such young age and had so much potential but this world is so cruel and unjust that people who deserve to live die and those to deserve to die live
@@sakshamkumar3864 Especially if that person’s doubt in your potential wasn’t what you ended up being passionate about. Live for yourself but that’s pretty much the idea of the entire video. He was just rambling which is normal for his format of videos, sincere.
"You gotta shoot for the stars in EVERY situation." Words to live by. Kid was truly meant to be a star. You can see, that mindset is what got him so far. Rest In Peace legend
Thank you for this sympathetic comment. Hopefully he is in a good place thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ in His Holy Name amen. Rest In Peace Technoblade, I send my deepest condolences to his family God bless his soul thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ in His Holy Name amen.
“I am the greatest at Lego pvp, which won’t matter at all in 3 years.” 3 years later, techno would win a $100,000 duel with Dream using his skills with Lego pvp.
Techno: being good at lego pvp probably won't matter in 3 years 3 years later: wins several minecraft tournaments winning 20k usd and pig rank while getting 1 mil subs
“I have a healthy fear of death irl” This man clearly was going though awful things this past year and still decided to show none of it to us. What a champ. Thank you techno for everything.
He picked the option of keeping his arm instead of amputating it as it seemed to unlikely to backfire, but a lot of times when an aggressive cancer isn't taken out with a nuke like amputation, it'll come back with a vengeance... That's what happened to him too... Guess the "shoot for the stars... except when it's about dying" didn't exactly apply... Losing an arm is horrible, and it's not really talked about how cancer can just come back from insurmountable odds like that, but even though "what if"s aren't helpful, I wish he would have taken the safe option...
@@sudenluola2241 he said in one of his videos that amputating his arm would not have increased his odds of surviving his cancer or prolongin his life so he chose to go with other treatment options
"everyone loves buttons" "greatest farmer ever" "stabbing people in lego game won't matter in 3 years" The foreshadowing in this video is on another level
Man rewatching this video after his death, really hits hard. The points he mentions. His philosophy. Him talking about being afraid of death. It's so sad to see you go techno, we love and miss you :) the doctors couldn't save you but we will always cherish you in our hearts
“PvP will probably not matter in 3 years” and now here he is killing people to raise 11 thousand dollars to charity and playing the Dream SMP fighting all the time. oh techno
Now he's here,literally winning one of the most important duels of this minecraft generation,and arguably one of the most important in minecraft history,a duel that will truly go down in history,one that might lay the foundations for the next minecraft youtuber generation,one that the next generation will look upon,one that the next big youtubers will watch for tips on how to win their own duel,and maybe,just maybe,bring victory for techno's students,long after he's past his pvp prime.
this is weirdly haunting rewatching after Techno's death. it's a shame he had the chance to become an author taken away from him by cancer. it just goes to show, if you're reading this, don't be afraid to chase your dreams and try the impossible, in his far too short life, Techno managed to have such a massive influence on so many people simply by doing what he loved, you can do the same :) R.I.P Technoblade, thank you for everything
the fact his philosophy applies to his own life is just so incredible. like, he was talking about how he was willing to risk it all for success, and how he had a healthy fear of death, but like his whole belief was that people only matter for what they end up doing. and he did a whole lot, too, even if it was just within a minecraft community. even if he's not alive, it's still kind of reassuring to know that even if he didn't do everything he wanted to do, but he still did what he said he would. he pressed the button with a 5% chance of real success doing minecraft videos, and i think that's so admirable. and like-- he legitimately will never die, not as long as youtube's still around. he's still the dude who sat there playing skywars gambling with the philosophy he came up with, and out of every legacy, i think even 22 year old him would've rather had it be something he enjoyed than being safe. he spent five years actually enjoying his life, and in his philosophy, i think that's the real purpose of the button with a 5% chance of success. it's about being happy with what you leave behind, not being worried about whether or not it stays forever. and ultimately, he got the best of both worlds.
I’m hear after the whole “so long nerds” thing. I just wanted to hear techno talk about the fragility of it all. Technoblade never dies, he continues within us. He hit that button and he got that 5% superstar life and made all of us cry all at once.
I just cant believe he made it, and that he didn’t get to make it even further. He was a shooting star dude, and we’re all so lucky to have known him. Take care of yourselves in these days
@@sleepyinsomniac-u- yeah he was popular and I played with him in the early age of hypixel and always had good quick witted humor that needed to be shown to everyone and I am so glad he got the fame he did years later and long term dedication, but it’s so sad this same person dies years later when he was reaching his peak
When watching this video, I realized what makes techno's death so sad to me. He was really living his best life, shooting for the stars, and really just seemed to be enjoying being alive. For me, finding out that I have cancer and will die in a year wouldn't be such a big issue, because I'm not really enjoying life at the moment, and I think I would easily make peace with it. The hardest thing is to see someone so young, and so motivated, die right when they are beginning to experience big success. Technoblade succeeded in becoming a great RU-vidr, he kept his motivation, and then it all had to be cut short. I'm currently in college, but I'm not sure what I want to be. I don't know if I'll be here in ten years. All I really want out of life is to find something I really care about, spend my life doing it, and be at peace. Technoblade knew what he wanted, he went for it, and now he's... gone. Sorry for the rant, I just felt like saying something, this video really hit different.
I completely know what you mean. I'm not enjoying life either, but seeing Technoblade's videos always made my day a little better. Seeing how much effort he put into everything he did, and the vitality he had in life...it inspired me to do better for myself. He reminded me that sometimes life is worth fighting for. And now that he's gone, I feel even more hopeless than before. I don't know why it's always the good ones that are taken from us too soon. It's just not fair.
I truly hope you have started to find a good life and even if you haven’t just remember what the blood god said, Within us resides the power to achieve something truly beautiful and as we look back at we’re we started we will be amazed by how far we’ve come. “I hope you all go on to live happy prosperous lives because I love you guys Technoblade out”
@@NebuIize It's only gotten worse, I'm dropping out after this semester to find something in life I really care about. I'm ready to really begin living my life, and am hopeful for what the future may hold. I'm still saddened by Techno's death, but his life has inspired me to finally try to make something of mine.
Imagine Techno writing a book, it would just jump from one thing to the other all the time because techno would get bored of writing about that thing. Also half the book would just be “anyhow”
@@technosword-hg4bm I saw one, it was actually pretty good, and I honestly got a little invested despite not actually being interested in stories about minecraft, but he said that was all that would be posted on it lol. Do you know where a lot of them are posted?
"Because I'm the best at minecraft which is a skill that probably won't matter in three years." Five years later: It continued to matter, he continued to be the best, and he died the best in a category that continued to sweep the internet to the point where he was loved and practically viewed as the face of minecraft by many.
Techno made such an impact on the Minecraft Community, his name is not only known in the english community but in almost every lingual community, such a massive impact that his image has been forever forged on the minecraft launcher by mojang. (Mojang put a crown on the pig's head in the image on the launcher)
Hearing how Alex was afraid of death, more so than every other fear, is extremely disheartening (maybe not the right word, but IDK). He had much more of a sound philosophical base than I had at his age and even now. I'm sad that I didn't watch many vids before he passed and that I will never be able to meet the man. RIP, Techno
This video is criminally underviewed. It is so touching hearing him talk like this about his ambitions and his values. He really did shoot for the stars. o7
It's because of Techno's starry-eyed idealism that the world has witnessed and been moved by his humour and creativity, and it's killing me to think about what his passion and potential could have achieved in the literary world had tragedy not struck. -Anyhow- Regardless, the joy and inspiration he's instilled in the world thus far will ensure his legacy lives on through all those his life has touched. We'll see you in the night skies, Techno.
I remember watching this video a REALLY long time ago and 14 year old me was like "screw it, techno has a point". I'm not yet where i want to be but i'm going to get there goddammit even if it seems very unrealistic to me and everyone else in the present. This just goes to show that Techno was truly the unique person he always wanted to be thru his philosophy, and also because he is able to say some words that can make someone re-think their life whilst he's entertaining them by styling on kids in a block game either if it was right now in 2022 or back in 2017, or any time in the future. His cool edgy philosophy will live on forever thru us.
Notice how whenever he chose an alt skin or a default skin he always chose Alex over Steve. How we never noticed the seemingly meaningless decision. His name was Alex. We would have never known if technoblade's father didn't tell us. It was in our face the entire time. Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. - Sun Tzu
Me too. Especially how he worded it, "when I get old" . . . Technoblade, we will always remember you. And when we're gone, the Earth and Stars will remember you. And even when they're gone, and there is nothing left in the universe, the universe itself will remember you. Technoblade will never be forgotten. Technoblade never dies.
He literally died so young it hurts watching his old videos after his passing. Everything hits different now... Rest easy king 👑 Technoblade never dies
Technoblade monologuing about his career path and seeing him now is really inspiring considering how I am the same age as he was when he made this video Edit (after his passing): He still inspires me and will continue to inspire me as an amazing person. Technoblade never dies.
...I simply can't fathom into words just how much of an inspiration this video alone was to me, I hope in the end he still had this incredible philosophy and mindset. Rest In Peace Technoblade, thank you for everything.
He predicted his entire career, he is no longer whit us. He had 5 years left at this point. His wisdom amazed 20 year old me as much as 15 year old me. Thank you for all the happy times. You are and will be missed.
I can agree with every word you said, we didn't deserve him, yet we got him, and he didn't deserve to die like this. And I know it doesn't really matter, but it is good to see fellow hungarian fans of him
It’s terrifying to think that any one of our messages, videos, or interactions in general, could one day be our very own “Had ‘x’ years left at this point.” Life can change tomorrow, and life can end tomorrow. But it’s so hard to live for today too, pain.
And he lived his life according to his philosophy. He hit the button and won that 5% chance. He shot for the stars. That's a legend, I'm gonna tell my children. Anyhow It's great to be back here again. Just like he were here again
This video really sums it all up. I really hope everyone here is alright, we all have different walks in life but we can all agree technoblade helped us through many hardships Rest in piece to the legend TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES
0:53 funny how almost exactly 3 years later, being the greatest at PvP helped this channel become one of the greatest, most well renown Minecraft channels on RU-vid. Rest in peace, Techno. Thank you for all the years of content, humor and nerd slaying
Bro after hearing his whole "philosophy" everything makes sense now -I'm gonna get 10 mil subs (at 1.9mil rn!) -I'm gonna get/create pig rank ✅ -I'm gonna get 1000 bedwars win streak (twice lmao) ✅ -I'm gonna be #1 potato farmer ✅ -I'm gonna farm 500mil potatoes/win war ✅ -I'm gonna win minecraft monday/minecraft championship ✅ I think the difference, however, is how techno sets very unrealistic goals and "shoots for the moon" for things he's gonna do/achieve but then he works extremely hard to make everything happen, no matter how silly or time-consuming
Yeah... He described it as a kinda poor risk evaluation sort of thing, but I think it's less risk, and more his willpower and skill that allows him to "shoot for the stars."
Yeah, I respect that about him. He makes what seems impossible completely possible, and going by his potato wars videos he doesn't just try hard he tries *smart*. The man *strategizes*. It's inspiring because I'm completely stuck in my life with lofty goals I still fully intend to reach but am making like. 0 progress on.
dude literally i cant watch anything anymore without immediately thinking covid if someone coughs or be confused when people are meeting up without masks
i don’t know why but techno saying “okay?” at like 20:13 ish like made me start to tear up- he just sounds so wholesome and loving and supporting and ?????
yeah it's strange to me to see someone like techno being so real, because in a majority of his videos he's trying to entertain and play the game, but in this video he becomes a lot more human, and whenever I see any content creator do this it honestly makes me like them a lot more.
Now I lowkey want to chase my dreams ten times more, since apparently, this guy is as old as I am- Most youtubers are around five years older than me and had already built their lives, *but now I feel obligated to do something hardcore too.*
Well.. he did shoot for the stars, got successful and became an inspiration to many people. Wherever he's at, ill always remember him, never thought a man like him would ever impact my life. You'll be remember forever in my heart, maybe someday we'll meet again, just maybe. Stay strong fam. ✌
16:27-16:36 They did pretty well, doctors helped him cherish life for as long as they could. Without them, the world would have missed a whole other year of techno.
@@crysleflame3734 hey bro i am waiting for your "guess the rocket league rank!" series!!! where is it? i will guess ur rank now! bronze 2 ahahahahhaaaa
Saaaaame. I'm 16 in like less than 2 weeks and for the longest time youtubers who are like 16+ to me sorta seemed the same as ones in their 20s but now there's a proper difference and it's *weird* like i wouldn't trust anyone my age with a driver's license, and definitely not me, and yet..
@@No-pp1yi ik but i was talking about how he was making this video and lots of others when he was 17 and if that's not enough you have lots of others around the same age today
I wish I could be more like Techno. He had such a positive outlook on life. Never let anything get him down. It's one of the many things I loved about him. I miss him so much :(
I didn't think I'd be mentally ready to watch any of his content since the announcement and I had been avoiding RU-vid but watching this made me realise that even in his passing he still continues to be there for us in the ways that he always has and for me that makes it just a little bit better.
Same here, I was getting overly emotional, but this video kind of gives me some sort of pep talk, knowing he kind of tried to achieve what he wanted, wasn't waiting away for things to happen and hence I feel like I can reconcile with his death.
@@iactas7892 like the death of a RU-vidr who's videos I was rewatching the day before I found out really is like getting tortured with a wet wipe it is unpleasant and unpredictable but you have to learn to move on. I didn't not follow that example
The fact that this Techno had no idea he’d be one of the biggest names in minecraft in a few short years after he uploaded this video is hitting me so hard right now. And that this was before he even hit 1 mil subs. Unbelievably inspiring. He knew he was gonna be a legend before he became a legend. Unreal. RIP. Technoblade never dies
@@thepoopmonster1041 literally poop monster, no one cares if you cared nor asked whatsoever, vice versa. Mad cause bad L the jealousy and envy I see through that comment is unbelievable.
@@PregnantFrog ik man. I like his current content on the dream smp but I wish I could go back to the days where he would upload skywars gameplay with commentary
Man, it hurts watching this video now. I'm the complete opposite of Techno. Always going for the safe route, being overly realistic with my decisions and never really going for risks. It even got to a point where I was just unhappy with everything that I did and nothing interested me anymore other than wrapping a rope around my neck. Then I came across this random guy with hot elbows blabbing on and on about things while playing a block game and somehow, for some odd reason, he inspired me to try to get out of my shell and actually do things. His philosophy of shooting for the stars is something I decided to borrow for myself. And wouldn't you know it, I found a sliver of happiness even though I know for a fact that my decisions are just generally bad and would probably lead to ruin. I am well aware of the fact that I might just end up in a worse place than I already am in, but the prospect of an incredibly bright future that I couldn't even dream of being possible is just too tempting for me. Techno's philosophy in life fills me with motivation I've never felt before and I would like to thank the Blood God for leaving me a gift I will never forget. Thank you Techno. You gave me motivation in my darkest times. Rest now, King. May we meet you again in the stars.
I wept over your comment. I'm so happy that Techno has touched you in this way! Going for the route of risks is all life is about, because without it you realized you're not living at all. True humility shows that you've got nothing to lose, because what's true is that you've got nothing at all except for free will, a physical body to achieve your free will, unlimited imagination, a moral compass and a lifespan on Earth. You can't lose these things, so putting them to use is about taking risks :)
@@arnav9009 More like someone actually talented not just at a game but at entertainment and working to get high up on youtube , I dont like when people put success on chances and luck in almost all cases it's not that.
Ali Khedr I don’t mean that, I mean he took the chance to TAKE that path. He could have decided to try to do something else. And in the case of the RU-vid algorithm, it is mostly luck. He got an opportunity, and he capitalized on it
14:30 you did it buddy, you shot for the moon and you landed it perfectly, thirteen million subscribers who will never EVER forget you, you inspired millions and it might sound extreme but you kept a lot of people alive who wouldn't otherwise be here, we miss you more everyday. fly high king.
I want to become a marine biologist, specifically in the physical and mental health aspect of marine life in captivity, and someday i want to research marine mammal migration patterns out in the real world
this is your best video. i can tell it's sort of train-of-thought, but it makes it feel so genuine. i have a similar kind of "shoot for the moon" sort of way about me, and have gotten shot down my whole life about it. i'm a little emotional and it's past midnight, but truly this video meant so much to me to see others who feel the same way and have taken that ambition and ran with it. thank you
I love this video too! It's hilarious at times when he's playing skywars, but I honestly teared up a bit at the end when he was talking about his dreams and how fear isn't going to hold him back. I just found that super relatable and encouraging! GL with your aspirations random stranger!
dude same. likeim trying to balance in between logic and dreams and I'm scared that as I grow older I'm going to get lost in the logic. best video he's ever made.
"Even with all the odds, shoot for the stars" - Technoblades Philosophy He really did shoot for the stars. Statistically, being a youtuber has a low chance of making you popular, but being a MINECRAFT youtuber (it was still somewhat popular, but wasn't surging in a viral age of popularity in 2012-2013 and later in 2019). He was really fighting against very stupid odds, even before minecrafts popularity surge the only reason he managed to start reaching toward a million subscribers was because of a video where people accidentally autoplayed it after falling asleep from watching one of his videos to fall asleep (and of course his funny humor and comedic timing). This small coincidence.. gained him the boost he needed, it was his first video to reach a million views, he kept on growing. Minecraft, by some grace of god, became more popular in the streaming area, it became trendy again (it always had lots of players, but wasn't always 'popular'). Then he slowly began an extremely unlikely rise in popularity, playing with infamous superstars around the world, his crawl was surprisingly slow despite his instant notoriousness. It took time for people to warm up to him, if at all. He shot for the stars and he made it. I still miss him.
Damn hearing him talk about growing old and the genuine feelings of wanting to connect to fans just is another hit in the gut can't even imagine the grief those close to him are experiencing.
Of all videos of him to get recommended to me, this had to be the one. It's like he's still trolling people, even after death. Goddamnit Techno, I miss you, dude.
This is the most Technoblade video out there. His top-notch PVP, his ramblings about life, about random things that make us laugh. Man… And boy, did he shoot for the moon/stars. While most aspiring content creators don’t even expect to get subs (or at most, aim for 1 million), Alex shot for 10 mil (while sometimes joked about getting any sub). And now we’re approaching 15 mil
You know, Even after 8 months and 2 weeks he still is helping people through there lives and that is truly a gift to help the lives of people even when you are looking down and them because, “no matter how ridiculous the odds may seem, within us resides the power to overcome these challenges and achieve something beautiful. That one day, we'll look back at where we started and be amazed by how far we've come.”
this was immediately recommended to me by youtube after the announcement...I'm sobbing so hard right now I can't even think straight enough to articulate what I want to say in this comment...just know that technoblade never dies, not in our hearts now if you'll excuse me I'll be binging the rest of his videos. RIP King.
Oh my god… this video, man. As an afterthought. Oh, techno. You didn’t get to grow old. And the doctors tried to look after you much faster than you anticepated. But there was a meaning to your philosophy. You made the right choice in the end. To do your thing. The thing you were great at. And for that we are forever grateful.
It all worked out fine teen Techno, you took the gambit and you live to see your youtube dreams come true. You made a huge impact to millions and left with a great legacy. You reached for the stars, and now you're shining amongst them. Rest In Peace.
16:28 this part just caught me so off guard, it makes you realize how much this situation probably felt unrealistic to techno and how hard it hit him knowing that everyone can be in an incurable condition at some point and that doctors might not always save they're patients. RIP Techno :'(
it kinda feels surreal- this being one of the few of his videos i've watched after his death, and here he is saying doctors always save people. he was a great person and he had so much ahead of him :/
Somehow, I never saw this video until now. Throughout most of my undergraduate degree, I have been watching Technoblade. It started off as background noise, then developed into being my favourite part of my evenings as I watched him after all my essays or readings were done for the night, my treat after a long day. I always thought Techno was brilliant- not just for his playstyle, but his approach to life. Witty, light-hearted, creative... I never knew he wanted to be a writer. I cried when I heard him say that. As I soon begin my journey as a graduate student, I can't help but remember all the times I listened to Techno as I wrote my work: long and tedious papers ranging from textual analysis to presentation responses, up to my own dissertation. I consider myself to be a writer. Maybe not a fun one (I study English literature- but I do not write it) but nevertheless, a writer. I really hope I can keep his spirit alive through my works. He's right: always guess, stay curious, take every opportunity and leave nothing blank. That is the very spirit of academia. So, thank you, Techno. I owe you so much. :)
It's funny his channels existence represents his philosophy. Generally being a Minecraft RU-vidr is a bad idea but there are some great ones. And he ended up being the greatest one there is. Technoblade never dies.
@@hxrin1882 I'll try for sure. ive also been drawing manga, coding and sewing recently trying to get my mind off of bad things, so this is helpful and i do care. thank you
I’ve never been one to cry about something, no matter how tragic or traumatic. But this has gotten me down low for a couple of days now. I try not to cry, but it’s impossible. I don’t want to accept that he’s gone, but what choice is there. Such an amazing man, such a respectable warrior. The numerous intricacies this video concerned have done nothing more than hurt me, whilst simultaneously inspiring me to go beyond. May he live in the hearts of man forever, and may his voice be a beacon of hope.
“Doctors are great man, they’ll keep me alive in the future.” Well, he was right. Edit: I suppose any of you reading this comment at this point have heard the news that he is gone. I’m sorry for this comment and how badly it has aged now.
I didn't think I'd be able to come back and watch more of his videos and not cry. But this made me realize so much. And know what? I'm going to shoot for the stars in everything I do. He's right, why shoot lower when you can go so much farther? Thank you Techno, for everything you've done.
My boyfriend looks up to him so much and said the same to me. He isn't going to waste any time not accomplishing his goals because of Alex. May he rest in peace. He was an amazing person. Also dw I'm kinda crying too.
Oh my goodness, this video hits me so deep in the heart. "Doctors will keep me alive in the future when I get old" 😭 Thank you Technoblade for all you've done. We love you.
His philosophy is a cure to procrastination. Procrastination happens when you're scared of doing something because it's important, but if you care less about the risk, you would do better instead of not doing anything.
I procrastinate because of my executive dysfunction, I wish this philosophy was the cure because if it was then I'd be a lot more successful in my life
Techno said to comment on what a perfect future would look like so I'll focus on that: I want to become a physicist, one that will discover something important. I want to reveal a huge secret of the universe or find the right equation for a physics law that hasn't been discovered yet. I want to help people learn what everything is. I also want to write a book, maybe. I want to find people who understand me, who I feel like myself around and make a family with them. Not by marriage or a romantic relationship necessarily, just a family of choice. I want to live in a place I love and be happy. That's my ambition. That's my hope for the future.
