SaysWho? Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 My better half suggested a hand written letter when I told her about this yesterday (she’s seen the Ace video lol). I’m 100% on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would people say? Who would show up to my funeral? Would the people here find out somehow, or would people just think I stopped logging in? Would they even notice if I stopped posting? Two decades ago one of my few threads was posing this question. Right before. Myspace and Facebook took off I worried about how any of us would find out if someone tragically passed from the GCN and Wii communities. I didn't get much of a commitment and sadly have lost touch with most of the members from the old Nintendo boards - save for the ones who came here. I first used Facebook as a way to connect with IGN fellows, but sadly only a handful still have it and fewer use it today. There was also a splinter board TheWiiCB created the same time as Bad Cartridge but I didn't keep up with it like I did with this community and it appears the board is now dead and I have no idea where those people scattered. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Just write slow and your handwriting should be fine. I have a fine micron pen that I can use to write minuscule text and you do have to write slow for that to be legible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is fairly in the dark about DayOnePatch. A few years ago I specifically told her “hey you know that website I’m always reading stuff on? If I happen to die, just go on my phone and make a post letting people know what happened . She looked at me kind of crazy but said she would. I should probably write it down on my will too so she remembers haha. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lololol bud always playing chess lol I honestly didn’t even realize until you pointed it out. I didn’t even notice in the moment. I’m too Americanized now. and yes he loved his waffles shirt. He also had one for our friend Nyla’s cat Percy who he also loved. He wore both shirts around Europe a lot and enjoyed telling strangers he met about the cats on his shirt. He was so funny and such an animal lover. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 From his mom: “I really appreciate you letting the owner of the game forum know that he passed, such a nice idea. Stephen would definitely have wanted everyone he communicated with regularly to know that he did not just disappear. I know that was a huge part of his life and he enjoyed it immensely. It's so amazing to hear that people are sharing wonderful memories of him. He was such a joyful, loving person and I know that he would be really touched by that. I am as well. To the person who made that donation to the World Wildlife Foundation in his name, thank you from the bottom of my heart...he was Absolutely an animal lover of All kinds. I have so many pictures he sent me of his zoo visits and an entire album of Nyla's kitty Percy in my photo gallery. It touches me beyond words that he was surrounded by such kind and thoughtful people during his life. Thank you so much for letting me know, it makes the grief easier to bear, knowing he had remarkable friends.” 12 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling my husband last night if that happens to me, he needs to text you or @Kal-El814. I’ve been here too long and feel too close to this community to just totally disappear with no explanation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 And having caught up on the thread, I'd be happy to write a letter to his parents. I've been a nurse even longer than @TUFKAK and my handwriting it still legible. I wish I still had that song he wrote for me all those years ago. You wouldn't happen to have access to it, would you, @Andrea? I was thinking you did at one point, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Man seeing his Nintendo Switch avatar icon hurts so bad. He loved the Switch and the games. Had been patiently waiting for the Switch 2 to be announced. I mentioned I would get one but not at launch cause I’m struggling right now with bills/money. He said I would be getting one on launch day and he would buy it just so I’d be able to talk with everyone about it. Heart of gold. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check a little harder another time. It’s really hard to look at old texts. And now that the initial shock has worn off I’m just crying and crying and it’s hard to concentrate today in general. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
