Very amatuerish article. Nowhere in it did it say how they "knew" the person did this because of the outcome of the game.

This man was in Haiti, a country where just a few months ago 230,000 people were killed by an earthquake. How many family members did this man lose? Did he have a job? A home?

And to you guys this is all a big joke and you're so quick to judge a complete stranger. Quite classy.

I sincerely hope none of you ever have someone close to you commit suicide. It might not be so funny then.

Maybe the idiot should properly write an article with the facts in it ...killing yourself cause you're team didn't win is about the equal of me causing a 30 car pile up on the freeway because i was mad the Celtics lost the NBA Finals... then let me blame it on the recession as to why I did it...

Exactly what I was going to post. It's a sensationalist article and these poeple bought it. Hype media ftw lol.

why are people complaining, he isn't going to come back to life and say sorry, probably did it out of a random crazy though like a lot of suicides.

Because he harmed others in the process of killing himself - the people in the car, especially the driver.

This is horrible but you guys are laughing :(

I don't see many people laughing. I think the general consensus is that this is sad, but the selfish person harmed the driver of the car (and possibly those inside) as well as his family (possibly), when he committed suicide. That's awful and I don't see how anybody could have any sympathy for such a selfish person.

Yes, it is certainly important to point out that he may have committed suicide for other reasons, but that doesn't take away from the fact he put the driver of the car in danger and could have possibly emotionally harmed the driver of the car quite badly. If he felt he had to commit suicide, he could have done so in a way which only harmed himself and his family (because either way, committing suicide is most like going to harm one's family, which makes it a selfish act as it is).

I'm not surprised to see the majority of comments involve calling him stupid because he takes the game "wayyy too seriously". It could be he was mentally ill already, depressed or even suicidal. Or as one of the previous posters mentioned, a bad bet which ruined his life could have pushed him over the edge.

I'm sure if it was one of your mothers' you would not wish for people to be quick to judge.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By Arceles · Posted

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
