  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.

  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.

  He was a very, very humble person

  ….proceeds to crash Ferrari while racing and showing off.

  wrecklessly driving in his ferrari, also killing the other passanger.

  • tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    wrecklessly

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

      Well bless my cotton socks. I thought you were making a joke, luckily I googled it before posting, TIL.

  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.

• MrFinnbean@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  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.

    I‘m 100% with you, but if you say something like this you don’t really mean it and consequently shouldn’t say it.

    Lol, nsfw that link. Didn’t expect a porn ad up front.

    **NSFW also the ad before was a porn ad

    • snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The article says a passenger was ejected from the car and died at the hospital. The video seems to show people dragging the passenger away from the flames.

      It’s pretty nsfl honestly.

    At the reverse-Pornhub.

    Instead of giving you time to make sure the sound is off, it plays the porn ad first.

  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.

      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.

  • nostrauxendar@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

    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.

    This is more apophenia than numerology.

    source

    • MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I didn’t know this word, thanks. I argue that all numerology is apophenia.

    LMAO! This was hilarious! Thanks. Much needed brevity.

    source

    • msokiovt@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      To be fair, numerology can be used to seek deeper meanings, of which I just did (the mod who removed the original comment I made likely had no idea I was speaking truth to light, potentially, through the use of something the entertainment industry as a whole uses a lot).
