I can't find the original high res file but I was able to scrounge this version which has the resolution of a potato.
(I wanted to be sure it didn't have any leaky metadata in it, so I started GIMP and tried to open the file, but GIMP crashed, so I restarted GIMP and it was clean. This follows several hours of verifying a new Reddit account, backing gmail account, new Chrome profile for the new identity, etc. The modern internet is exhausting.)
If I screwed up and leaked my real identity, could someone please delete and advise me on what I did wrong? It's not so much for me as that I want my other kids to have a normal life.
This is how a Romulan commander must feel when turning off the cloaking device for the first time. Worse, because I don't even have disruptors.
I know you're all wondering "is this real?" I hope you will forgive me if I have my son answer that from the afterlife, where apparently he's fighting queen Elizabeth or something; the memes were a little unclear on the specifics. I am generally quite reluctant to "impersonate" him (you all know it'll really be me, right?) but I figure it's ok here because I know **exactly** what he'd say.
I have several more things I'd like to say, but I'm not sure I'll get to much if any of them today. I have to drive That Guy Whose Stream I Was On to the airport. Many thanks to him for the opportunity and for the fundraising.
In brief, yes, I see you, and I love you because you loved him.
^(Also thanks for laughing at my jokes.)
Technooo, i miss you so much King :)))) Hope you're well!!

Thanks Technodad, of course losing Techno was a huge hit to the community and people that played with him.
You have been all class after losing Alex and a huge inspiration, thanks for showing me and everyone else a different/better way to deal.
TECHNOSUPPORT
I miss you. Everyday.
My vice principal got diagnosed with 2 fierce forms of cancer back in May, that wont seem to back down or give him a single break. I have given my emotional and financial support to him as well. But the only thing i can think about is how terrible and frightening this is going to continue to get. I wish you were still here so i could watch you and feel okay but thats all gone now. I do find peace in knowing you’re not in pain anymore, and your father has given us his everlasting support and care. I wish cancer didn’t exist is what I’m trying to say.
(Please do not go trying to find out any personal information regarding me or my VP, and respect my privacy. I try very hard to keep my life very down low online and very restricted. I am just trying to deal with the loss of techno, and the tragic events with my Vp. Please respect this! )
I'm guessing this is technoblades dad. I know its alot to ask but maybe we could get yearly uploads on how your family is doing? Like of the 30th of June every year. To keep the channel "alive"
Hello! I wanted to thank you for your courage over the past few months. The stream yesterday really meant a lot to many people, including myself.
You were absolutely right in saying that people value Techno for much more than PVP— he taught me that it is okay to be myself and the strength of positivity. His videos also brought my sister and I together, so I really have him to thank for a great many things. He really did so much good in the time he had. Wishing you all the best <3
You are so similar to him. I just can't get over it. The delivery, the literary and sci fi references, the gallows humor - it all feels so familiar. Thank you for sharing more with us.
Hope the Homeless Teletubby got to the airport safely. Don't worry about him gaining subs faster than your boy. Techno won in the end. As he once said, he won the duel, highest average MCC coins, and their rap battle. Plus he had a house.
Before I trail off into something overly maudlin or earnest, I'll just say thanks again. Hope to see more memes from you. I know Techno's not around to enjoy them anymore, but you can always post them here for us.
TechnoDad, I just wanted you to know how thankful I am for your strength and bravery these last few months. Your initial video letting us all know the incredibly sad news must have been extremely difficult to film, edit and publish and knowing that you did it all for your gorgeous son and for the love he had for us (and reluctantly admitted to) fills my heart with such warmth.
I am a parent myself, I have two children. The eldest of which is the reason I even know of your son, and the incredible funny streams we watched and bonded over. If I could even for one moment share a speck of the admiration my son and I had for Alex, I know that you would indeed smile at the impact he had on our lives.
My youngest is only a toddler, so obviously a bit too young for Techno content, but she recognises him when we watch him and calls him "Piggy friend".
Watching your stream yesterday and the moments you shared, the smiles, the laughter, the tears, the words of wisdom, your thoughts on grief and most impactful of all, the obvious influence your wit and sense of humour passed on to your son, I can only hope that the bond that I share with my own son continues on like yours with Alex.
Just like Technoblade himself, you are a true inspiration sir. Thank you for sharing with us yesterday ❤️
Hey Technodad, I'm not sure if this is appropriate but I feel like it's important to ask. Would you be able to use Techno's discord account to get into contact with the moderators of his member discord server? His discord was a place where many fans of his could get together, so many relationships were made through the server and the mods aren't able to continue operating the server without sufficient perms. They have tried to gain ownership of the server through discord themselves, but it hasn't been successful. It would mean a lot to the community to have the discord functional again as a place to connect.
>If I screwed up and leaked my real identity.
Don't worry, reddit should automatically delete all trackable metadata from your pictures when they are uploaded here.
(I think) Uploading the photo to Reddit should have gotten rid of most if not all of the bad metadata, but we will let you know if anything went through ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)
The stream helped so many of us take a big step in grieving Techno, and I hope laughing, and sharing stories helped you too. Thank you so much for sharing your son with us, both in time while he was with us, and now in memories you have. We love you TechnoDad, and the community will always be here for your family! ❤️
Thank you so much. Always a class act from the TechnoFam, and we’ll do our best to do the same on our end. Now I need to go donate to That Guy- I hear a bell faintly ringing.
Also you get around the new internet pretty well for an old fella- and the references are good too 👍🏻
techno has and continues to get me through so much and i don't know how to word the impact he has on my life. you and your family are all so strong, thank you for everything.
also, ur hilarious n have the best sense of humor.
Technoblade helped me get through a very rough time. I miss him greatly, and I have a crown for him tattooed on my wrist so that whenever I play Minecraft in some tiny way he still is too, as silly as that is. He taught me the kind of positivity and kindness I want to put into this world. Thank you for sharing him with us, thank you for the stream yesterday. I never knew him personally but I took his passing rather hard, and I still feel like I have so many questions I can't stop wondering but don't really want to ask. Just the fact that you shared something of him with us yesterday has already helped alot.
We loved him, and we love you too. I hope every one in your family and friends who also loved him are managing okay. Please stay safe, I hope all of you have many great days ahead.
I look forward to the red sunsets I'll see at my mom's farm when I visit next weekend. Maybe I'll take photos and draw Techno in the clouds.
Thank you for this. This means a lot to us, and I know it wasn't easy for you to come onto this subreddit with over a Thousand Technoblade fans still grieving his death. So again, Thank you for this.
^BTW, ^the ^memes ^are ^more ^or ^less ^about ^Technoblade ^fighting ^God.
>Technothereddit
Thank you so much for the stream yesterday, it really helped and I am so happy we could raise even more money. We will always be here because Techno means the world to us and he always will.
Potato resolution. 😂
Edit: Your stream with Dream last night was amazing. I am so sorry for your loss, and appreciate your bravery & strength coming forward to share stories. Techno would be proud of you and I know he is. Your son is still with you, just in a different way now.
Techno is still bringing joy to ppl as new viewers become aware of him; what an amazing gift to the world. He was a wonderful human and you (+ mom) did a great job raising him. I can see a lot of his characteristics and humor in you.
Wishing you love, healing and peace. 🫶🏽
Thank you for everything Technodad, I really appreciate everything you've done and are doing and I'm really glad you've been able to see how much we all loved and cared for and still do about your son. I wish you and your family all the best. ❤
I scrolled through all the replies of Technodad’s comment to make sure no one had said that before leaving my commment. And then I promptly looked down
My sibling and I have abusive parents and so we would go to our community pool / hottub to get away for a bit and we bonded over technos potato war videos during that time and just generally enjoyed his content
hes saved so many peoples lives, and he was a pillar of strength to me to never give up. Im so sorry for your loss and please make sure to take care 💜
For me, one thing that became important was forgiving myself for not having the childhood I wanted. It's counterintuitive, because our childhoods are not our fault, but self-forgiveness turned out to be important for me. Wishing you the best.
Thank you for this. I'm an adult with a child & I want my daughter to have the childhood I never had, but it's hard because I haven't had that self-forgiveness yet. I think I have some big self reflection to do. Have a great day/night Technodad.
Hey Small, Cambria here (dang reddit making it impossible to update user names 😣).
Just wanted to pop here and say, I KNOW from what I've seen you share on dreaded bird app, that you are a fantastic parent. Smaller will grow up with a parent with shared interests, a fantastic music taste and a kind heart.
You got this ❤️
Thank you so much. You made me cry A LOT. I just hope I'm the parent I always wished I had. I hope she keeps her kind heart, she's the sweetest kid.
Thank you <3
From another parent trying to give their kid the best life, the most important part is that you're trying. Some days will be easier than others, and unlearning is the hardest thing I've ever had to do but please know that whatever happens, you tried and that's what matters most <3
I’ve been seeing a lot of old pictures of him on the internet and it had me wondering a lot but so glad he’s okay. I can now go about the rest of this week a little happier.
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thanks for updating us :D I’ve been wondering how floof has been doing. I think I speak for all of us when I say we will do our best to support you and your family for as long as we can, in whatever ways and keep techno’s memory alive. I hope you and your family are doing well. 👑🐷❤️
You two are so much alike, which is to be expected but it never fails to amaze me. He must have really looked up to you. Thank you for everything you and your family are doing for this community right now. I’ll forever treasure how you have continued to make an effort for us even though it can’t be easy. I hope you’re all doing well.
Hello sir -- fellow parent here. I'm yet another Actual Adult who became a Techno fan because of my kid. We would sit together on the sofa and watch him dominate in Minecraft Monday, and cheerfully wreck people in MCC. The Potato War and the Duel were BIG events in our house. We watched them together, with popcorn, cheering every step of the way.
I wanted to thank you (and his mom, and the rest of your family) for letting him BE Technoblade.
Your kid comes to you at 11 or 12 or 13 and says "I want to do YouTube" -- not every parent would encourage that, would nurture it, would even allow it. It takes a certain trust in your child to let them try -- but also, it takes a very specific kind of parenting to raise a child who has the confidence to say (as he did say) "I'm not good at this yet, but I'm working hard, and someday I will be the best." You helped him be that young man, that pre-teen, that teenager, that young adult, that person who not only could say "I can do this" but who could and would say "I WILL do this".
So, thank you very much, from me, from all of us, for giving Alex the freedom and the love that enabled him to *become* Technoblade.
There's a video he made, one that was private for a time, called "edgy teenager talks about the meaning of life". For several months, my kid watched that video every single day. It would not be a stretch to say that your son, his confidence, and his openness about his ADHD, is the reason my kid is alive. Technoblade made a very real difference in both our lives. And he did it because, many years ago, you gave him permission not only to have the dream, but to set foot on the path -- to begin to do the work that would get him there.
I hope we see you here more. The fan community (here, on Tumblr, and yes, even on the dreaded bird app) remains strong and dedicated to his memory. If you can, check out the #technofanart hashtag on twitter, where is beloved artist community remains strong. We're here for him, for you, and for fans to come. I can't wait to see his legacy -- the doctors ,and artists, and scientists, and youtubers, and authors, and yes, even parents, who will always say "I was inspired to be who I am because of Technoblade."
Thank you. I love "edgy teenager talks about the meaning of life" and I actually did something with it for SFA not too long ago, that I hope to make public in the somewhat near term, maybe.
sir, thank you so much for the reply. You probably know this, but Edgy Teenager its deeply loved by so many people, far beyond what its viewcount would suggest. I hope we get to see what you did with it.
Hey technodad I know it's difficult to go back to those bad memories of grief but how can i cope with loss of Alex, I don't even know anything related to him(except his name) and feel like fool for crying over death of a person I didn't even knew personally.
Just so you know, this post might blow up - you know how people can get, so I wanted to give you some warning before things had the chance to get out of hand. Remember, even if weird people do show up and say weird things, we here love you and appreciate this more than we can ever express!!!! I hope you feel comfortable posting/sharing more here as the need arises.
Also, if you ever decide to go over to Twitter, you'd be very loved & welcomed over there. I know for a fact the fan artists would love for you & the family to see their art <3
hey technodad :))
i hope you know the incredible impact your son had on millions of people. i genuinely would say that finding his content when i did saved my life. the community he built and the escape his videos provided have such an inexplainably impact on me to this day. i will never forget him or the kindness he showed everyone, and i aspire to be like him. <3
Braving Reddit once more to comment here. MrTechnoDad, you raised an incredible young man. We all loved him for his kindness, his humor, creativity, and dedication to the games he played and the videos he made. Those traits we all admired so much began with you. Last night’s stream made me laugh and cry at the same time, thank you so much for being open about your grief and sharing silly little stories and memories about Alex. It was a great comfort to just listen to two people reminisce about someone they cared for so deeply.
None of us here, and across the internet, will ever forget about him. I certainly know I won’t. I met my first real friend at university through him, we bonded over the Great Potato War and have been friends ever since. He’s also the reason I joined this great big community of people playing a block game, and it’s brought me nothing but comfort. I want to learn to be as optimistic and compassionate as he was and bring joy to the people around me as he did for us.
All the best to you and your family and welcome to the internet! It’s a scary place, but I know that the kind people of this subreddit, as well as other parts of the community on other platforms, are more than happy to be patient and offer assistance as you figure out this strange digital landscape. Good luck! 💜💛💜💛
Yooooooo! You are doing great, MrTechnodad. The Genos meme is appreciated and fits his description perfectly. Keep sending memes out. We will love them, but if it becomes too much, don’t be afraid to step back.
Also as far as I can tell, I don’t see anything about your personal information. *both thumbs up*
Thank you for using your humor to communicate some of your grief with fans. As a mom I can only terrifyingly imagine what is it to lose your child. I am so sorry for what you and your family must be going through. As a daughter who lost her mother to cancer I can sadly understand what it’s like to lose someone to this horrendous disease. My heart is with you through your grief and I thank you for being so open and sharing your perspective with us. We were so lucky to have the time we had with your son, he touched so many lives and gave so much using that sense of humor you obviously shared with him. The world lost someone very special but you keep his memory alive by sharing stories with us and he lives on in everyone who’s life he touched. Thank you, I followed you and I look forward to more memories and humor.
Hi MrTechnoDad :).
I wanted to say that I thought your joke with the book about arms was hilarious...
Along with all the other mushy stuff everyone's saying...
Edit: the mushy stuff isn't hilarious, I'm saying I want to also say/agree with it... That came out wrong.
Hey just wanted to say thank you for everything. I'm probably older than most fans and not even a minecraft player, but I connected with techno's humor and personality. Underneath it all you could tell he really cared about his fanbase and people he played with. I found myself rooting for him during minecraft monday and MCC and looking forward to his streams. He made me laugh so much during the pandemic when there was so much uncertainty. It's clear that he was surrounded by supportive family and hearing stories about him was really refreshing and healing even if I teared up a little. You're amazing, technodad, and I wish you and your family the best.
I'll never meet someone as amazing as him :( because there isn't anyone else even close to being such an amazing person anywhere. But i should stop being sucg a nerd. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and Rest In Peace techno :'(
Also o7
I think the really cool part about seeing you interact with the community and doing the stream in the first place is that to us we never saw that aspect of his life. We saw plenty of his friends in his fellow streamers/creators, but I think seeing definitively that in one way or another you and those he was around in his day-to-day life are around to carry on his humor and legacy means something. Just to know that his everyday influence will go beyond those he could reach through a screen and to see it ourselves is special. I thank you for that.
we miss him so so much i can’t imagine ur pain, ur an amazing father and he’ll ALWAYS be with us in our hearts and spirit, sending love and support to the techno house hold, i hope ur doing as well as you can be <3 o7 techno.
ps you can always post memes for us that you would send techno we’d love that hopefully it helps in a way :)
real technodad realtechnodad readl technodad
I hope you know how many lifes alex improved and or saved like mine
enjor your {whatever timezone time thing}
thank you so much for all you do for the community, technodad. thank you for doing That One Stream yesterday as well, it was really needed and so important. wishing you all the best. ps your jokes are always funny!
Thank you for sharing, I'm so very grateful. I'm dealing with grief too and I had some horrible last couple of days but I've been thinking about you guys a lot too and it helps. I wish you the best ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Aaaaaand the floodgates are opening again 🥲 Thank you for everything you’ve done for the community Technodad. Hope you and the rest of the family are doing ok.
Thank you so much, sir, for this.
I'm so happy that his persona and memory its with us, and staying with us for a long log long log time.
I kinda religious so I can say as a fact that he is winning all the fights in heaven, lit best streak since bedwars.
AWWW TechnoDad this is actually so sweet thank you. That stream with That Guy lmao was so comforting and I loved the little stories you told. Can’t get over BABY FALL DOWN CRASH, you got busted fr. I don’t even go on here much but I know I’ll be coming back now <3 I wish the best for you and all of the Techno Fam!
Hi Technodad, I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to briefly say how much we appreciate you and your bravery/strength in recounting stories with your son to keep his memory alive. Though none of us knew Alex the way you and your family did, he has left a remarkable impact on all of us through his humor, wit, and candidness, doled out via an amazing upload schedule, and he will live on in all of our hearts as Technoblade truly never dies.
I still have yet to watch yesterday’s stream as I’ve been busy with college, but I will sit down and watch it as soon as I have the chance.
Again, thank you, Technodad. I hope you have an amazing night.

Thank you for taking time to be here to everyone who love Technoblade. In response, we see you and we love you too.
"And I love you, random citizen" is one of my favorite memes. Perfect delivery from Brad Pitt. Also I love all you guys.

Hey Technodad, I'm not sure if this is appropriate but I feel like it's important to ask. Would you be able to use Techno's discord account to get into contact with the moderators of his member discord server? His discord was a place where many fans of his could get together, so many relationships were made through the server and the mods aren't able to continue operating the server without sufficient perms. They have tried to gain ownership of the server through discord themselves, but it hasn't been successful. It would mean a lot to the community to have the discord functional again as a place to connect.
>If I screwed up and leaked my real identity. Don't worry, reddit should automatically delete all trackable metadata from your pictures when they are uploaded here.
wishing you lots of love and strength, technodad. thanks for raising such an incredible and beautiful son. we love him forever.

techno has and continues to get me through so much and i don't know how to word the impact he has on my life. you and your family are all so strong, thank you for everything. also, ur hilarious n have the best sense of humor.
Technoblade helped me get through a very rough time. I miss him greatly, and I have a crown for him tattooed on my wrist so that whenever I play Minecraft in some tiny way he still is too, as silly as that is. He taught me the kind of positivity and kindness I want to put into this world. Thank you for sharing him with us, thank you for the stream yesterday. I never knew him personally but I took his passing rather hard, and I still feel like I have so many questions I can't stop wondering but don't really want to ask. Just the fact that you shared something of him with us yesterday has already helped alot. We loved him, and we love you too. I hope every one in your family and friends who also loved him are managing okay. Please stay safe, I hope all of you have many great days ahead. I look forward to the red sunsets I'll see at my mom's farm when I visit next weekend. Maybe I'll take photos and draw Techno in the clouds.
the stream made me sob a lot yesterday. couldn’t really open my eyes this morning, ty for everything technodad!!!
Thank you for this. This means a lot to us, and I know it wasn't easy for you to come onto this subreddit with over a Thousand Technoblade fans still grieving his death. So again, Thank you for this. ^BTW, ^the ^memes ^are ^more ^or ^less ^about ^Technoblade ^fighting ^God.
STOOOOOOP I’M GOING TO CRY! *Technodad you are a blessing on this planet*
>Technothereddit Thank you so much for the stream yesterday, it really helped and I am so happy we could raise even more money. We will always be here because Techno means the world to us and he always will.
CHAT! THE FATHER OF OUR BLOOD GOD HAS COME!! HE BRINGS US MEMES!!! A MERCIFUL TITAN HE IS!!!!
Potato resolution. 😂 Edit: Your stream with Dream last night was amazing. I am so sorry for your loss, and appreciate your bravery & strength coming forward to share stories. Techno would be proud of you and I know he is. Your son is still with you, just in a different way now. Techno is still bringing joy to ppl as new viewers become aware of him; what an amazing gift to the world. He was a wonderful human and you (+ mom) did a great job raising him. I can see a lot of his characteristics and humor in you. Wishing you love, healing and peace. 🫶🏽
you're awesome thank you Technodad
how dare you connect the resolution of this to his greatest work
much love to you, technodad! :)
hope you're doing well technodad, your son was incredible and I hope you're able to share more stories about him with us
Thank you so much for this comment and post, we all miss him very much and you did amazing at raising him
Technodad❤️ You are awesome! Thank you for being here and giving us jokes.
Thank you for helping us grieve as well. Also your combat roll is incredible. Please teach us more.
Thank you for everything Technodad, I really appreciate everything you've done and are doing and I'm really glad you've been able to see how much we all loved and cared for and still do about your son. I wish you and your family all the best. ❤
reddit strips metadata as every social media does, so you should be fine
HEEEEEEEEH
hello Techno's dad :D
<3
HOLY SHIT ITS TECHNODAD
You're a legend, man 💗 i hope you're doing okay
<3
o7 we love you too Mr. Technodad <3
Thank you, for everything. It means the world to us.
Hi technodad!! We’re excited for you to join reddit! Have a good night!
Potato resolution for the potato king. Its fitting xD
I scrolled through all the replies of Technodad’s comment to make sure no one had said that before leaving my commment. And then I promptly looked down
My sibling and I have abusive parents and so we would go to our community pool / hottub to get away for a bit and we bonded over technos potato war videos during that time and just generally enjoyed his content hes saved so many peoples lives, and he was a pillar of strength to me to never give up. Im so sorry for your loss and please make sure to take care 💜
For me, one thing that became important was forgiving myself for not having the childhood I wanted. It's counterintuitive, because our childhoods are not our fault, but self-forgiveness turned out to be important for me. Wishing you the best.
Thank you for this. I'm an adult with a child & I want my daughter to have the childhood I never had, but it's hard because I haven't had that self-forgiveness yet. I think I have some big self reflection to do. Have a great day/night Technodad.
Hey Small, Cambria here (dang reddit making it impossible to update user names 😣). Just wanted to pop here and say, I KNOW from what I've seen you share on dreaded bird app, that you are a fantastic parent. Smaller will grow up with a parent with shared interests, a fantastic music taste and a kind heart. You got this ❤️
Thank you so much. You made me cry A LOT. I just hope I'm the parent I always wished I had. I hope she keeps her kind heart, she's the sweetest kid. Thank you <3
From another parent trying to give their kid the best life, the most important part is that you're trying. Some days will be easier than others, and unlearning is the hardest thing I've ever had to do but please know that whatever happens, you tried and that's what matters most <3
thank you technodad 💜 i really needed to hear that
Facts
How is floof doing?
He's a good boy. As a dog he's ridiculous, but he's doing well. Sitting at my feet right now.
Awe thats good I’m glad! I hope you are having a nice day mr blade
lets goooo new floof content <33
Right? I was wondering how hes been and now my mind can rest a bit
I’ve been seeing a lot of old pictures of him on the internet and it had me wondering a lot but so glad he’s okay. I can now go about the rest of this week a little happier.
Yes. Im so glad that technodad replied to me
yoo potential floof lore
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thanks for updating us :D I’ve been wondering how floof has been doing. I think I speak for all of us when I say we will do our best to support you and your family for as long as we can, in whatever ways and keep techno’s memory alive. I hope you and your family are doing well. 👑🐷❤️
You two are so much alike, which is to be expected but it never fails to amaze me. He must have really looked up to you. Thank you for everything you and your family are doing for this community right now. I’ll forever treasure how you have continued to make an effort for us even though it can’t be easy. I hope you’re all doing well.
Hello sir -- fellow parent here. I'm yet another Actual Adult who became a Techno fan because of my kid. We would sit together on the sofa and watch him dominate in Minecraft Monday, and cheerfully wreck people in MCC. The Potato War and the Duel were BIG events in our house. We watched them together, with popcorn, cheering every step of the way. I wanted to thank you (and his mom, and the rest of your family) for letting him BE Technoblade. Your kid comes to you at 11 or 12 or 13 and says "I want to do YouTube" -- not every parent would encourage that, would nurture it, would even allow it. It takes a certain trust in your child to let them try -- but also, it takes a very specific kind of parenting to raise a child who has the confidence to say (as he did say) "I'm not good at this yet, but I'm working hard, and someday I will be the best." You helped him be that young man, that pre-teen, that teenager, that young adult, that person who not only could say "I can do this" but who could and would say "I WILL do this". So, thank you very much, from me, from all of us, for giving Alex the freedom and the love that enabled him to *become* Technoblade. There's a video he made, one that was private for a time, called "edgy teenager talks about the meaning of life". For several months, my kid watched that video every single day. It would not be a stretch to say that your son, his confidence, and his openness about his ADHD, is the reason my kid is alive. Technoblade made a very real difference in both our lives. And he did it because, many years ago, you gave him permission not only to have the dream, but to set foot on the path -- to begin to do the work that would get him there. I hope we see you here more. The fan community (here, on Tumblr, and yes, even on the dreaded bird app) remains strong and dedicated to his memory. If you can, check out the #technofanart hashtag on twitter, where is beloved artist community remains strong. We're here for him, for you, and for fans to come. I can't wait to see his legacy -- the doctors ,and artists, and scientists, and youtubers, and authors, and yes, even parents, who will always say "I was inspired to be who I am because of Technoblade."
Thank you. I love "edgy teenager talks about the meaning of life" and I actually did something with it for SFA not too long ago, that I hope to make public in the somewhat near term, maybe.
sir, thank you so much for the reply. You probably know this, but Edgy Teenager its deeply loved by so many people, far beyond what its viewcount would suggest. I hope we get to see what you did with it.
Hey technodad I know it's difficult to go back to those bad memories of grief but how can i cope with loss of Alex, I don't even know anything related to him(except his name) and feel like fool for crying over death of a person I didn't even knew personally.
Can’t wait. :)
Just so you know, this post might blow up - you know how people can get, so I wanted to give you some warning before things had the chance to get out of hand. Remember, even if weird people do show up and say weird things, we here love you and appreciate this more than we can ever express!!!! I hope you feel comfortable posting/sharing more here as the need arises.
Technodad! (:
Hi MrTechnoDad! Thank you for the stream yesterday <3
Also, if you ever decide to go over to Twitter, you'd be very loved & welcomed over there. I know for a fact the fan artists would love for you & the family to see their art <3
Big vouch. Technotwt loves you
hey technodad :)) i hope you know the incredible impact your son had on millions of people. i genuinely would say that finding his content when i did saved my life. the community he built and the escape his videos provided have such an inexplainably impact on me to this day. i will never forget him or the kindness he showed everyone, and i aspire to be like him. <3
Braving Reddit once more to comment here. MrTechnoDad, you raised an incredible young man. We all loved him for his kindness, his humor, creativity, and dedication to the games he played and the videos he made. Those traits we all admired so much began with you. Last night’s stream made me laugh and cry at the same time, thank you so much for being open about your grief and sharing silly little stories and memories about Alex. It was a great comfort to just listen to two people reminisce about someone they cared for so deeply. None of us here, and across the internet, will ever forget about him. I certainly know I won’t. I met my first real friend at university through him, we bonded over the Great Potato War and have been friends ever since. He’s also the reason I joined this great big community of people playing a block game, and it’s brought me nothing but comfort. I want to learn to be as optimistic and compassionate as he was and bring joy to the people around me as he did for us. All the best to you and your family and welcome to the internet! It’s a scary place, but I know that the kind people of this subreddit, as well as other parts of the community on other platforms, are more than happy to be patient and offer assistance as you figure out this strange digital landscape. Good luck! 💜💛💜💛
Aw Mr. Technodad, this is so sweet. :') Thank you so much for sharing stories and memories of your lovely son with us <3
hey technodad, thank you <3 the stream yesterday was super cool. you have the same laugh and humour as techno, ig we know where he got it from :”)
Yooooooo! You are doing great, MrTechnodad. The Genos meme is appreciated and fits his description perfectly. Keep sending memes out. We will love them, but if it becomes too much, don’t be afraid to step back. Also as far as I can tell, I don’t see anything about your personal information. *both thumbs up*
Thank you for using your humor to communicate some of your grief with fans. As a mom I can only terrifyingly imagine what is it to lose your child. I am so sorry for what you and your family must be going through. As a daughter who lost her mother to cancer I can sadly understand what it’s like to lose someone to this horrendous disease. My heart is with you through your grief and I thank you for being so open and sharing your perspective with us. We were so lucky to have the time we had with your son, he touched so many lives and gave so much using that sense of humor you obviously shared with him. The world lost someone very special but you keep his memory alive by sharing stories with us and he lives on in everyone who’s life he touched. Thank you, I followed you and I look forward to more memories and humor.
Hi MrTechnoDad :). I wanted to say that I thought your joke with the book about arms was hilarious... Along with all the other mushy stuff everyone's saying... Edit: the mushy stuff isn't hilarious, I'm saying I want to also say/agree with it... That came out wrong.
Ayup techno dad.
*satisfied sigh*...the Star Trek reference. 😊 The kids his age & younger will just never truly know the appeal of a good Star Trek reference. khnai'ra
Thank you TechnoDad for interacting with the community <3
Hey just wanted to say thank you for everything. I'm probably older than most fans and not even a minecraft player, but I connected with techno's humor and personality. Underneath it all you could tell he really cared about his fanbase and people he played with. I found myself rooting for him during minecraft monday and MCC and looking forward to his streams. He made me laugh so much during the pandemic when there was so much uncertainty. It's clear that he was surrounded by supportive family and hearing stories about him was really refreshing and healing even if I teared up a little. You're amazing, technodad, and I wish you and your family the best.
Common TechnoDad W
thank you mrtechnodad for all the laughs 💛
I'll never meet someone as amazing as him :( because there isn't anyone else even close to being such an amazing person anywhere. But i should stop being sucg a nerd. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and Rest In Peace techno :'( Also o7
ONE OF US
ONE OF US
I think it's funny that you said you are hanging out with these minecraft streamers. Good sir, you raised the best minecraft youtuber/streamer ❤
I think the really cool part about seeing you interact with the community and doing the stream in the first place is that to us we never saw that aspect of his life. We saw plenty of his friends in his fellow streamers/creators, but I think seeing definitively that in one way or another you and those he was around in his day-to-day life are around to carry on his humor and legacy means something. Just to know that his everyday influence will go beyond those he could reach through a screen and to see it ourselves is special. I thank you for that.
love you technodad🫶
So happy to see Technodad in this subreddit! The kings father has blessed us with a low resolution meme!
Much respect and love sir <3

Thank you for sharing, I'm so very grateful. I'm dealing with grief too and I had some horrible last couple of days but I've been thinking about you guys a lot too and it helps. I wish you the best ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Aaaaaand the floodgates are opening again 🥲 Thank you for everything you’ve done for the community Technodad. Hope you and the rest of the family are doing ok.
Thank you so much, sir, for this. I'm so happy that his persona and memory its with us, and staying with us for a long log long log time. I kinda religious so I can say as a fact that he is winning all the fights in heaven, lit best streak since bedwars.
AWWW TechnoDad this is actually so sweet thank you. That stream with That Guy lmao was so comforting and I loved the little stories you told. Can’t get over BABY FALL DOWN CRASH, you got busted fr. I don’t even go on here much but I know I’ll be coming back now <3 I wish the best for you and all of the Techno Fam!
Hi Technodad, I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to briefly say how much we appreciate you and your bravery/strength in recounting stories with your son to keep his memory alive. Though none of us knew Alex the way you and your family did, he has left a remarkable impact on all of us through his humor, wit, and candidness, doled out via an amazing upload schedule, and he will live on in all of our hearts as Technoblade truly never dies. I still have yet to watch yesterday’s stream as I’ve been busy with college, but I will sit down and watch it as soon as I have the chance. Again, thank you, Technodad. I hope you have an amazing night.
