God that hit like a truck
It doesn’t get better the older you get…
I remember reading about something along those lines a few years ago.
When we were kids running around with our childhood friends every summer, we thought it would never end, that we would be and stay friends forever.
Then one day, we run home, wave goodbye and say ‘see you later!’ … and without us knowing, or being aware of it, that was the last time we saw our childhood friend.
We might have lived next to one another, or went to the same high school later on or even went to the same college … we never saw our friend again.
We never knew and we were never aware of when we said goodbye or saw our friend for the last time.
I think about my old childhood friends … I’m middle aged now … some of those friends died young, some got married and had a bunch of kids … a few had hard lives and became addicts … one of them is a vegetable after having suffered an overdose … and many of them just went on and had small families and did OK.
Yeah, it’s interesting having lived in the time when friendships actually just poofed.
For most of human history children would be right to think this. Most people never left the town they grew up in. I think there is a bit of sad beauty to kids assuming they’ll always be friends.
a close friend of mine from highschool died of cancer.
last online 9 years ago, i miss those dota matches with him.
I’m sorry for your loss. Can’t imagine your pain, and how hard that must have been.
I run an online D&D game with people I don’t know IRL, and I just kinda accept that one day I’m probably going to have a heart attack and disappear, and that’s okay.

IRL people know where you live and can check the paper for an obituary. I think OP is saying that none of their players will know what happened.
OP, you can have your server notified in a will.
I befriended someone online through a video game and we became steam friends. We talked a lot about the game, but also non game topics. When one of us went AFK for awhile the other would check in and ask what was new in life. We wished each other happy birthday and holidays. One time I mentioned to him that my spouse would inform him if something unexpected happened to me, like I got hit by a bus or something. And I asked him to do the same because I would wonder forever. He wasn’t comfortable with it. But that guy is still my buddy IMO even though I don’t know his real name.
I’m missing global chat in coc
Man that stings more than stepping on a thumbtack
I wonder what my psycho red pk friends in Tibia are doing rn.
I befriended this guy in an online game. Eventually we became friends on Steam and it turned out we both had a lot in common and we started playing a few other games together as well.
One day he told me that he got a girlfriend, who he later then married. After some time they got divorced and he hasn’t messaged me since.
I really miss staying up until 6 in the morning, playing long AoE2 and Stronghold Crusader matches with him.staying up until 6 in the morning, playing long AoE2 and Stronghold Crusader matches with him.
Without knowing more, I’m thinking this may not have been good for said marriage…
