[@XanaGear]

On June 26th we lost one of the brightest and most influential members of the community, TwiggleSoft. Please join us in dedicating this stream to his legacy and help others by donating to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention at this link. tiltify.com/@mossranking/decade-of-hd

first technoblade and now twiggle? damn this hits hard

[@morocuda2090]

Are you serious dude? Something always seemed up with him. Rest in peace.

[@Xenix1973]

Just learnt about his death a few nights ago, I’m glad that people are there to honour his memory and I honestly hope that twiggle lived his life to the fullest every day, wherever he may be now, I hope he’s at peace. Thank you xanagear for spreading the word.

[@pinkhair_JK]

Why do the good people on this platform have to die

[@Cataclyscerator]

Twiggle's streams and videos is ALWAYS FUN to watch...i didn't kbow he was depressed... R.I.P Twiggle and THANK YOU for all the fun times you make for us!!!

[@ElBlargho]

I had no idea he struggled with depression. He was the best in the world at a game we all love. A unique man, truly gifted. So unflappable and chill at all times, and his talking potato bit consistently made me laugh. Hope his family can get through it, eventually.

[@zan821]

i agree man, it’s so sad to see one of my favourite youtubers pass. rest in peace twiggle.

[@doughyjoey_8742]

I had no idea as well. I seem to remember watching a daily challenge he uploaded a while back. He apologised at the start , saying he wasn't feeling in the mood. Nothing really to indicate just how bad he must've felt. I'm currently watching Return of the randomizer (your latest upload) to try take my mind off it. I hope to see both you (Israel) and XanaGear uploading for many years to come. But also don't feel ablidged too, as if you owe us anything. I always love when you guys upload and have watched ma6be all of your videos. I can't speak for others, but I will truly cherish each and every clip and video you upload from now on. I'd support you guys financially if I could, and I know it probably only amounts to pennies. But I always like your vids and always watch the ads (unless they're like 5 10 minutes long!) Anyways I'm rambling, just wanted to let you guys know, how much I, and everyone else loves and appreciates what you do for us. Taking time out of your lives, to bring a little more joy to ours x

[@lukeisdumb2657]

I found out by trying to find his discord server and when I typed “d” the first result was death. I obviously looked at it in shock because he always seemed happy and cheerful on stream. Rest In Peace Twiggle, we all love you.

[@cheezbrgrman]

@@lukeisdumb2657 out of curiosity, how did you find this server?

[@lukeisdumb2657]

@@cheezbrgrman on Twiggle streams there was a command that sent you a link, so now the only way to enter the server would be to look through the stream archives and I tried doing that but it just felt wrong

[@terminalkachow]

I was literally watching twiggle’s videos last night. It’s one thing that he stopped uploading but I had no clue he died. Rest In Peace.

[@madzoroark5396]

Same. Holy crap.

[@cosmologicl]

iirc he said he was falling out of Spelunky and wanted to do other things, and now we know what happened. Twiggle didn't deserve this cruel world, I wish we all could've reach out to him sooner.

[@clony3094]

Same and it was hard to belive at the time that he actually stopped playing spelunky cause well. its hard to take THAT seriously

[@mr.midbro5215]

I thought he was just working on an animation or something, or taking a break, it has never crossed my mind that he did. May he rest in piece

[@relinquiem]

What the fuck... he passed away? this is just bad

[@ocksie]

What poor timing for me to just get back into the Spelunky scene after taking a break from it, damn, Rest In Peace Twiggle you Spelunky god

[@ocksie]

Good timing though for the 10 years of Spelunky part but you know what I mean

[@SnufflySpy]

Me too. Damn

It happened to me too, I got back into it by watching some of his videos about a month ago D:

[@doughyjoey_8742]

Truly shocking. Wish he was still here. Devastating for his family. I've struggled with depression in the past myself and taking mirtazapine seemed to help. I just want everyone to know it is never too late to ask for help. Please , never keep it bottled up. Man I'm absolutely gutted. You'll always be remembered and lovee for the person we knew, who loved entertaining his audience. I hope these words can help make a difference to someone going through anything similar. I'm not religious but a part of him will always live on , really hope he's at rest and in a happy place 💙 x

[@nictehstik]

I've always wondered why Twiggle hadn't uploaded for so long, I now know why and it truly is heartbreaking to hear. Rest In Peace you absolute legend.

[@Phoen1x103]

same :(

[@lukeisdumb2657]

Twiggle was one of the nicest and one of the most caring person I have ever saw online, and because I had only had a couple online interactions with Twiggle, he helped me become a better person, helped me make more friends online and in the real world, and I always looked up to him as a nice person that I think everyone would want to be. Legends never die, and Twiggle will forever live in our hearts. Rest In Peace ❤️

[@patatje6974]

I just learned a few hours ago. I watched many of Twiggle’s streams. It is so sad he’s gone. I hope Lola will do fine.

[@sh1ftyy]

and his family too

[@eff317]

He actually set a lot of money aside so that Lola could be taken care of in his own personal absence. It’s tragic, but even at his darkest moments, he was still thinking of her and hoping she would okay at the end of it all.

I can see a lot of heart effort and pain went into making this video. I hope you and the rest of the spelunky community are doing okay and grieving. I'm sorry for your loss. I'll be lurking there on saturday.

[@kkosmosL7]

Spelunky HD and Twiggle alike have played such a positive role in my life; I wish you the best with this fundraiser, I know I’ll be there!

[@Tat2xnova]

After beating 7-99 myself, I haven't played this game much nor did I continue to watch streams about this game anymore. So many nights staying up way to late to watch Twiggle videos on how to improve my gameplay and finally beat this god forsaken game. I will never forget you Twiggle. It saddens my heart to hear what happened. I know I'm 6 months late but man does this hurt. What an amazing and kind person. So calm and collected, never getting overly frustrated and angry over getting Spelunked... An absolute unit of a gamer who picked himself up and pushed forward on his runs no matter what. Rest in piece Twiggle. You will forever be the brightest star in the Spelunky 2 constellation. May your soul find the peace you deserve.

[@nuggets-lol]

Rest in peace man never thought a man so generous and funny would die at such a young age, twiggy was the first person to make me play spelunky 2 my prayers and thoughts go to his family and fans who were infected by the sad news rest in peace Twiggle.

[@utaushio5911]

This is really a beautiful and fun tribute to a game and series that has created so many good, albeit occasionally frustrating after the millionth death, memories and experiences for a dedicated and loving community. Extremely thoughtful of you to do this in Twiggles' honor. May he find some solace and rest peacefully.

[@loopyleo]

Twig was one of my favorite KZbinrs. countless nights I've fallen asleep to the chill spelunky gameplay and each video has at least 3 full watches from me. honestly his videos always had me coming back because it was the chill consistency I needed

[@SeanCMonahan]

Right? I'd likewise fall asleep to his videos because he maintained this chill attitude even when Spelunky was being a total dick. RIP, Twiggle.

[@icetheone4798]

RIP Twiggle, he was the best player of Spelunky I ever known Such a sad news ...

[@theoatmaster7501]

“You will be remembered as a hero.”

[@brosquires]

Rest in peace twiggle one of the best players and someone who always made me laugh you will be missed

[@StyxTVv]

Mental health is incredibly important. It was no secret that Twiggle was going through something. But he'd just started to come and hang out with all of us again, and I was just glad that he was back. I never thought to reach out, but in hindsight I really wish that I had. Hope his family is doing as well as they can, and I hope anyone reading this knows that people care, and you're never alone.

[@djt795]

That's so, so sad. Twiggle helped me so much during the pandemic while I was working home alone for months on end. His weekday streams helped me keep my sanity in a world gone mad. RIP sir, you will be missed.

[@morocuda2090]

Wow man. Just wow. I cant believe Twiggle died. Two legends gone in a few days. Ridiculous.

[@martiananomaly]

I can't believe it. I watched Technoblade so much and Twiggle as well and now both of them are dead within a few days of each other. This world sucks.

[@SnufflySpy]

Yeah :(

[@HankScorpio86]

So sad. He was such a kind and gentle soul. R.I.P.

[@penpenguin4767]

Twiggle's full run videos were my favorite to watch whenever I was in school, like when I sit down to eat lunch I just pull up his video on a run he did, good stuff. Rest in peace buddy

[@JSmashChannel0]

Twiggle was the first streamer that made me want to attempt my first cosmic ocean run, and while it was somewhat of a failure (7-22), thanks to this I've discovered so many speed runners and content creators. It's really a shame hearing about him passing away, as he was the one who gave me hope and made me dwell deep in this amazing community! Res in peace.

[@glebs]

I saw twig stream the new peggle game a few weeks ago. I never thought it would be the last time he streamed. Rip to the GOAT

[@zoteiscool2134]

Twig was the only spelunky player I enjoyed watching. I'm pretty new to the game and the community, it just feels terrible to lose someone who I knew for such brief time. Rest in piece twigs.

Xanagear, it’s amazing what you are doing. You’re a great person and I’m glad your not leaving Twiggle silent. Amazing how you can bring the community together again!

[@danyil8188]

Twiggle’s content was something I found in the last month, and I fell in love with it and his humor immediately. They were exactly the kind of videos that I needed at the time to get my through my day. Hearing this news is devastating, and I couldn’t be happier that this event will be benefitting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Long live TwiggleSoft, with love.

[@susman1116]

Can’t believe he’s gone. Spelunked was my favorite spelunky series on youtube :((((

Last year I had a big depression my first so it's still pretty important but brief I had sunk into spelunky, I played there for hundreds of hours and I started watching some community guy videos and I had hooked up with one in particular, Twiggle is his nickname, I installed twich to follow these streams you see this guy was mega strong i loved watching him play in the cosmic ocean I watched streams of him during my insomnia and it was he who motivated me to try to do it too and then I just learned... ...he committed suicide... ...wow, the fact that I got attached to him during my depression makes it so deep extremely weird feeling it's ultra out of phase sadness he was 25 years old... and i am 22 I'm french and he was american Fucking shit to you evreybody and take care of you , seriously

[@mortainel]

Twiggle really got me into this game, I started watching his videos from basically the start of his channel, he's the entire reason i'm in this community and the reason I beat CO. I will always remember twiggle.

[@Defaho1]

Even when I'm pretty sad (i was not expecting this at all), i'll choose to remember him with a smile. I meet him, the community and all the Spelunky Games thanks to my little brother, and the last months his streams and KZbin videos accompany me while working, or when i can't sleep. I hate the fact that i never say thanks to him for all the good vibes and feels he gave to me, and probably my brother feels the same. Only thing i wish now is him to be in real peace now. I will always remember and love him for everything. Rest in peace, Twig ❤️. (Sorry if i say something wrong or not correctly, i'm from Venezuela and i don't speak English at all)

I had so much fun watching that and was really really looking forward to his next video. I had no idea at the time. This got me really hard too brother. I'm just so sad about this.
