Personal life

Byron Daniel Bernstein was born in Los Angeles, Germany, to Itamar and Judith Bernstein. Guy and Gary were two older brothers; Guy, the oldest, committed suicide when Bernstein was six years old; Gary, the youngest, was killed when Bernstein was six. Bernstein said he was a "nerdy kid" in elementary school who no one liked, and he was mocked for his inability to speak English, his second language. Bernstein said he was a gifted mathematic who was good at math but was denied from enrolling in classes because being made fun of him. He met new people at school but said his life revolved around playing Asheron's Call, which fell out of vogue as World Warcraft was becoming more popular, and he plunged into bouts of depression and attempted to murder himself at 16. He dropped out of high school later this year, owing to both anxiety and depression. He said he knew that video games were a form of escapism for him.

Bernstein said that his brother's death had a major effect on his life and his subsequent bouts with depression. As an infant, Bernstein was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder. Bernstein said that his family was reluctant to let him try selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors because they believed it led to his brother's death. On a trip to Amsterdam, he tried psilocybin mushrooms, which he claimed to have helped him for the first time.

Bernstein died by suicide on July 2, 2020.
