It’s been awhile since I’ve played this much Siege. That being said idk how long this standing inside of window glitch has been around but I'm flabbergasted
I ate at restaurants with Lamarr Wilson, just the two of us, hundreds of times.
We were, in many ways, opposites. We were unlikely best friends.
Lamarr loved to eat maximum spice. I loved what he teasingly called “sweet meat,” such as orange chicken and sugary barbecue.
Lamarr liked eating variety. I would order the same dish fifty times.
Lamarr was built like a linebacker. I was built like a string bean.
Lamarr radiated charisma and “read people” well, one reason he was a great showcaser and host. I’m a real-life Mr. Bean unless I work hard to be otherwise.
Some of us have family of birth and family of choice. I was honored to be among Lamarr’s family of choice. He stayed at my home when he first moved to Los Angeles, joking about the sounds of Southern California’s coyotes and its treacherous mountain streets. I later helped him move six times that I can remember.
We were both from Chicago, both extremely private, and both finding our way in a fast-changing world. We were “tell each other like it was” friends in a city that often tells you what you want to hear. We were each other’s “reserve belief” when we had exhausted belief in ourselves.
It was a pleasure to see Lamarr’s dreams come true and the professional success that enabled it.
Lamarr was a quietly charitable person. Not for fanfare nor a tax deduction, but because he knew struggle. He thrilled at being for others what he himself had once needed.
This photo is the last time that Lamarr and I ate out together, just the two of us. He was hosting me at his beautiful home as a Los Angeles out-of-towner, as I once did for him.
There are questions I am not qualified to answer. Lamarr and I spoke at length on his 48th birthday this past October. I can only speak for my experience. I was very lucky to call Lamarr my friend. I will miss him.
This one hurts 💔 a little speechless right now but in this age we live in with headlines and scrolling and moving on so quickly I just want to say Lamarr was a genuine one and had this insane ability to make a room smile
RIP dude 💔
Hearing the news today of Lamarr Wilson's passing sent an immense wave of shock and sadness throughout the tech and online community. For his fans and friends — it was truly unexpected and shocking news to read.
I still don’t think I’ve fully processed that this is real. Looking back through years of memories, content, and vlogs we made together, it’s hard to accept that those moments are the last ones we’ll ever create. I know there was no one else that shared my love of collecting xbox controllers and Amiibo the way Lamarr did — I will miss our interventions that ultimately lead to us getting MORE of both! 🫶🏻
There wasn’t an event that we didn’t attend where Lamarr wasn’t smiling, excited, and giddy about whatever we were there for. From video game launches, birthday parties to milestone life celebrations, his infectious laugh would have you LOL’ing along with him.
It’s always heartbreaking to post something like this, to have never been able to tell someone what they mean to you. The feeling of regret that you didn’t reach out sooner or that there was something that you could have done to help.
Sending so much love to his family, friends and everyone online while navigating this new reality without Lamarr in it. ❤️
It's not often I have the courage to queue up some ranked games. But today I was feeling like it and have been greeted with the gift of being kicked from the server and unable to join back for the remainder of the game resulting in a nice lovely ban :)
