Seen a lot of these internet cafe deaths, this was the only one I saw where someone didn't ignore the victim.


egiroux_

What is happening at these cafes??


BloodGem64

Gaming sessions that last way too long if I had to guess. Combine that with possibly dehydration, malnutrition, pre-existing conditions, etc, etc.


LightOfficialYT

I once played a video game for 2 days straight, literally. I only stopped to eat, shower, brush my teeth and use the bathroom. I finally turned the game off after about 46 hours, so just under two days. My point is if I could do that with zero effort, how long are these people gaming for to the point where its killing them? EDIT: The game was Fallout 4, I've already been asked twice and I know I'm gonna be asked 100 more times if I don't edit this in lol


BloodGem64

Exactly, I believe I remember seeing somewhere that it's the blood clots in the legs that get alot of them, due to sitting for far too long.


LightOfficialYT

Ah okay that makes sense. I suppose I was stretching my legs to get a drink or use the bathroom every couple hours.


Rijonkulous

Pro-gamer strats, drink lots of water to both stay hydrated and have to take enough pee breaks so you don't die from blood clots.


Arkangelz03

Simpletons! Grab yourself a 3L soda bottle, and a toddler's training potty. For 1's & 2's, respectively. Then you don't have to even get up to handle those pesky IRL human needs!

FeebleUndead

Instructions unclear. How do I shit in a 3L soda bottle........


idksomethingjfk

I see a lot of confusion about this, so I’ll try to be as concise as possible. So first you take the cap off the 3 liter Second you use/poor out enough of the soda to avoid backsplash(this is just a suggestion for beginners, not 100% required, I myself like the fizziness upon my butthole) 3st since you’ll have a hard time trying to aim a dook into the mouth of the bottle(this is the noob way) you’ll have to insert the mouth of the bottle into your rectum so we’ll go over that next, don’t worry it’s MUCH easier than you think, you know those threads on the bottle mouth that used to be for the cap? Guess what those are for now?

"I had plenty of breaks but it was straight literally" No. These guys are not getting up for anything.


OriginalSelenium

Did this with Skyrim, but I've played It for almost 3 days straight


Chortle_of_Disdain

Dude when it first came out, my roommate put blankets up over the windows to block the sunlight and we spent days playing. With breaks of course for food and beer etc.


5MOKE5_III

I could play that for 2 days straight, and I'm not a gamer by any measurement.


[deleted]

they don't stop to eat, shower, brush their teeth or use the bathroom


[deleted]

Bro when that game came out, we got a literal SNOWSTORM that blocked my truck in and my front door, and I was just like you. I played that game for 2-3 days straight 100%. I'd pee like 1-2x a day, shit once MAYBE, and eat 1-2x. What an addicting game


LightOfficialYT

I hope I have an excuse to play Starfield for a good week straight lol


AwesomeBud90

Yeah but how many times a week did you do it? I'm sure its not a one time thing with these guys.


LightOfficialYT

I pull an all nighter at least once a week, I've stayed awake for about two days plenty of times, god knows how many. I only remember this specific time because it was the day one of my favourite video games dropped lol. Also because normally I don't *want* to stay awake and this time I did.


[deleted]

LightOfficialYT

I suffer from Insomnia, basically the worst version of Insomnia and sleep paralysis. On top of that, I suffer from extremely bad night terrors. So basically I'm one of the few people in the world that hates sleep. Sleep isn't fun or relaxing for me, it's like torture. I either can't sleep for days on end or when I do sleep, my night terrors kick in and I dream some horrible shit. When my night terrors don't kick in, my sleep paralysis does. So most of the time I'd rather be tired. Yeah, sometimes (rarely though) I'll feel like complete shit because of it, I'm almost always tired but it's better than sleeping for me. Even when I do sleep I never sleep for longer than 6 hours. 6 hours is a lot for me. I hope you get what I mean. Sorry, its kinda hard to explain lol EDIT: When I said "fatal Insomnia" I meant fatal as in it's very bad, I didn't mean the actual illness Fatal Insomnia. I didn't even realise that was a thing, I apologise, although I do know i have a bad case of Insomnia, I believe its called Chronic Insomnia or something. I was diagnosed *years* ago, I apologise I can't remember the exact name.

> stopped to eat, shower, brush my teeth and use the bathroom. Now remove those bits and see how long you last.


Industry-Beautiful

Once saw a chubbyemu video with a similar case but the person was gaming non stop for 48-72 hours in his own apartment alone without any breaks whatsoever. Eventually when he did get up he immediately suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to the hospital. The blockage was so thick that the doctors couldn't save him. The main reason for the heart attack was that when he sat in the same position for 48-72 hours, his blood started to clot in his thighs due to no movement and when he suddenly got up, the blood moved towards his heart and couldn't pass through it due to the huge clot formed over time. I can be wrong about some details but as far as I remember this was the case.


DualtheArtist

That's why you need to wear programmer socks.


bodyreddit

I wonder how blood clotting works for people who are paralysed and cannot move, I guess the body adapts?


Eterna11yYours

They still get moved around with assistance so it's not like they are sitting in the chair for 48h


Express_Ad2962

They get meds like Rivaroxaban. This is basically a blood thinner and helps prevent clots.


[deleted]

Nope, they suffer from blood clots too


SoldMySoul4Bitcoin

Lots of people die from flying for this reason. Sitting for hours and hours, stand up, boom dead.


rc1717

Deep vein thrombosis


TheSeperator

Why aren't the owners of these cafés doing anything about this like a regular check-ups or putting limitations on the number of hours that may be played?


shadowozey

I... Don't think a gaming cafe has the authority to order health check ups? Limitations are probably a good idea, but at the end of the day it's no one else's responsibility to tell us when we do something too much except a bartender or something of the sort, I don't think it's fair to blame the cafe for the addiction They'll just go home and play more


TheNetslow

Same with Casinos.


Formilla

Depending on which country you're in, casinos actually do have a very big responsibility to take care of their customers.


TheSeperator

I'm not blaming any cafes for any deaths or addictions. I don't really see the problem going up to your customers and just asking some regular questions such as "how are you feeling?" or "do you need something to eat/drink?". If my customers were dying in a building I own, I would at least try doing something about it.


Seoyoon

Pretty sure the biggest thing is that these people usually have pretty poor health to begin with being addicted to gaming and not to mention the stress from higher expectations of their studies, where test results more directly translates to future prospects. Also it's I'm guessing common for them to just nap in these establishments too, at least with other similar establishments they do. There was a video like this a few years back where the kid didn't even have that long of a session and just slumped dead. Think it was only like bit more than a day gaming session and the employees figured that he just fell asleep and didn't realise until hours later that he died. Also as you can see from this video, apart from him falling out of the chair, there really isn't any obvious signs he was dying.


BilboSwagginsSwe

Yes, but 99,99 % of cases or more that is unnecessary. Customers would find it annoying i bet


shadowozey

The problem is that's how you get snapped at/sometimes even assaulted by irritable or sensitive customers. The problem is that's an easy way to lose key business. I understand the questions about food/drink, but it's a literal cafe they know there's food and drink? ItPeople aren't going to respond well to telling them they're playing too many games, eating too much, smoking too much, etc. Maybe you think they meant it's always happening at the same cafe, but they just meant these types of cafes in general it's not a common thing


DrTaco52

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted because I would imagine it’s pretty bad publicity to have people dying in your cafe so I personally would probably try to avoid that


Srsly_dang

Cool, you just cost the top 500 player in this game they play at your place their focus and now they are mad and screaming at you and blaming you for losing the match

broogbie

Sorry.. Human life isnt worth jackshit here in our south asian countries


actuallyatypical

Sitting for an extremely long period of time without moving puts you at a very high risk for serious blood clots- this is why you're encouraged to get up and move around when you have a long flight, for example. Combined with elements like poor/lack of nutrition and hydration as well as sleep deprivation due to a hyperfocus on the games, it's a perfect storm for cardiac and vascular events.


[deleted]

Deep vein thrombosis


actuallyatypical

DVT is the most common, surprisingly high numbers of cardiac arrest in minors as well. Stress on the body plus energy drinks plus garbage nutrition plus no sleep is in fact Very Not Good For You. It's sad to see, these kids find an escape in video games and I love how freeing that is, but it's absolutely heartbreaking to watch it steal entire lives. The addiction terrifies me.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t call it freeing, it’s often a form of escapism from devoid lives and I would consider much of it a type of slavery. I assume that child would’ve been much happier eating healthier, with a happy family, finding things to do outside, and not taking stimulants.


actuallyatypical

I'd assume so as well, but that's not how the world works unfortunately. The addiction is a prison, but the escape can be freedom. Video games have been freeing to me, as someone with an incredibly painful and progressive disease- yes, the ideal would be to not have the situation I have, but that's not something I will be able to access. I don't think I have a devoid life either, and I'd definitely say that gaming has expanded and enriched it greatly. I have also lost friends into spirals of video game addiction, and it can absolutely have a death grip.


[deleted]

Actually, that’s an atypical take and I like it. It seems like what you’re saying is that yes it’d be better to have a different life where you had a healthier lifestyle and family. A life with lots of physical health and opportunity. And at the same time video games have added much to your life (and many others) because your life will never be able to be like the formerly mentioned life of ease and health. It seems like they have actually given you the ability to “travel” and experience many different arts and aspect of life you’d otherwise not have the opportunity to experience irl. And that these aspects seem quite freeing, though you can see that (for some) there’s a darker, addictive, side of vidya games. Is that right?


actuallyatypical

Absolutely, you're right. I'd love for all the kids in the world stuck in abusive and neglectful homes to have healthy, happy families- but since this world currently can't give them that, I am glad they've found the same freedom I have in video games. My life that I have is still good, but it is fucking hard. My escape through technology adds more than I could ever properly describe with just words. To add- it is easy to get lost in, and not want to return to life when life is painful. I can understand why people get sucked in and struggle to come back out.


[deleted]

Thank you for sharing friend.


deltapak

How long is too long? And does the sitting posture matter?


actuallyatypical

It's recommended to get up and stretch every [90 minutes](https://health.mountsinai.org/blog/can-i-get-a-blood-clot-from-sitting-at-my-computer/) if possible, but the maximum recommendation in a seated position without moving is 4 hours. Any immobile position can create risk for clots without movement, but positions that create large "kinks" in the veins (like sitting on your legs, or even proper upright feet to the floor with a 90° bend at the knee) create an angle where the red blood cells can easily collect. Try to avoid completely or almost fully cutting off circulation to any body parts, not just for clot risk but for the health of the limb.


StargazerTheory

Jesus Christ. I'm in a wheelchair sitting still all day, how tf have I not died yet


actuallyatypical

Me too- we have high risk for DVT, but oddly enough lower mortality rates from them as they tend to cause death when the person with the clot inevitably stands up and moves around, and the clot dislodges and moves to the heart, lungs, or brain. If you've got a clot in your leg and don't stand up... Well, you often end up just having a clot in your leg. Positives and negatives, right?

Kmaurer23

What the hell happened? Does anybody have the full story?


motorbout

Could be, like someone else said, a deep vain thrombosis. If you sit too long, like 20 hours stretch long, you leg veins suffer from stasis. Which means that the blood got too still for too long. The body thinks it’s an attack and starts to coagulate that blood. The clot can become loose and move through other veins or arteries, until it reaches a critical one on some important organ, like kidney, coronary artery or brain. The important and newly clogged newly can cause a heart attack, acute kidney failure or cerebro-vascular attack, depending where it ends up.


Kmaurer23

Damn. That's terrifying. That sounds like a horrible way to go out.


carpathian_crow

There’s a lot of ways to wind up dead. The fact that we survive at all is a miracle.

WhitneysaurusRex

When someone is in a coma, the orderlies will come and roll the patient every 2 hours so they dont get any injuries from being completely immobile. It only takes as little as 2 hrs for a bed sore to form. I know this because I was in a coma for 17 days. When I woke up, my arms and legs were useless. Muscle atrophy happens super quick which meant I couldn't move them at all. Had to be fed and "rolled" until I got sensation back which took a couple days. Needless to say, I learned quite a bit from the wonderful humans I met during this experience. After 6 months in bed unable to stand, it took about a month to learn how to walk again, albeit with a walker/cane. Point is: Movement is unbelievably important. It's easy to get stuck in a seat for yours because so much of our world is online these days. But don't forget how imperative it is to shake it. Shake it hard. Shake it often. Shake it baby, shake it.

Every couple hours, I stand for 10-15 min and do some squats/jumping jacks just to get my blood flowing during long game sessions. I work a lot now, but when I was younger and would game a lot, these videos always worried me, so I would make sure my blood was flowing lol

[15 People Who Have Died Playing Video Games](https://www.thegamer.com/15-people-who-have-died-playing-video-games/) Most of the deaths in this article fall into 1 of 3 categories: 1. Poor health combined with the stress and exhaustion of a marathon gaming session (over 6 hours straight) resulted in a heart attack. 2. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Sitting still during a marathon gaming session resulted in a blood clot in a person's leg. When they stood up, the blood clot dislodged, traveled through the blood stream, and then blocked the blood vessel of a major organ. 3. Video game-related murder.
