Vinny, who very rarely opens up about himself or his personal life, discussed that at times he has suffered from depression too, but has managed to overcome it using various methods like Music and Video Games, or with the help of some good friends.

Crossing with Nightmare Fuel, Vinny's playthrough of Terminal 7, a SourceMod game made by Vinesauce viewer Nooke.and saw a guy whose "costume" consisted of nothing more than a purple shirt. He and his mom went there, walked to the Phantom table. Joel, a huge fan of the Phantom at the time, excitedly agreed to go. Joel once shared a story from his childhood about a time his mom said she would take him to the supermarket to meet The Phantom (part of an advertising partnership being done with supermarkets to promote the upcoming film).Vinny was devastated as he put it, "It's hard to say goodbye to a dog you've known half your life," adding that he was there for anyone else who had lost a pet, in contrast to how he doesn't usually consider himself to be a good role model. This was very heartbreaking news to chat members who saw Molly in past streams. After the 2016 charity stream, she was taken to be put down. Molly, Vinny's 16-year-old family Bichon dog, got old to the point where she was frail and barely eating.Hootey audibly breaking down sobbing while playing "That Dragon, Cancer" during the 2016 Charity Stream.You can almost feel that somewhere inside him that game hit him deep in his childhood. After seeing the Game Over screen from the bootleg Felix the Cat game (shown in the Nightmare Fuel page) the obvious shock he has in his voice is surprising.IT'S ACTUALLY RED-RINGING!! OH MY GOD!! NO!!! NO, GODDAMMIT. Joel: Oh shit, it is! NO!! OH MY GOD, NO- IT'S ACTUALLY DOING IT! OH SHIT!! OH NO!! HOLY SHIT. When the song ended, Vinny said "fuck cancer", and you can tell he wasn't able to hold his tears. Later that night, he played a music video of Bowie's entire "My Death" song. You could hear the disbelief and sorrow in his voice. He first dismissed it as a hoax, until later finding out that it was actually real during his BRB, while a David Bowie song was being played as background music.

Vinny was streaming at the time and when he found via the chat that he had passed away. David Bowie passed away on the night of January 10, 2016, two days after his 69th birthday and the release of his ★ album.Joel was fighting against completely breaking down as he selected the spare option, even through the shock of getting dunked on.He audibly breaks down as he reads Sans' dialogue moments before being given the choice to spare him, genuinely wanting to stop fighting and spare his friend.Joel: (in the comments) "video games like these make me drink ( seriously by the end of this I had downed like 4 beers )"
