I have been playing with this guy for four years. In those four years we have joined and left clans together, switched consoles (XB1>PS4 and back again) together and played on a near daily basis countless of games together. When not playing games, we would talk together via Facebook Messenger all day about gaming and personal things.

I didn't hear from him on Friday, and I found it strange. Today, Tuesday, I got worried. I tried calling but it only went straight to voicemail. This afternoon I was informed via Facebook by his sister that he had passed away over the weekend suddenly and that there were not much more details as of yet.

I'm not looking for sympathy or upvotes, I'm just looking for a place to talk about it. My real-life non-gamer friends look at me like I shouldn't mind because I've never met the guy and I only played video games with him. ♥♥♥♥ that, I miss him. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.

Hmmm

Friend, where have you gone? Cleopatra is seducing me in Civilization VI and her tricks and deception require no answer other than the sword. Where is my trusting ally who always begs and steals my glorious gold stockpiles? Where is the guy who ♥♥♥♥♥♥ wonders so much that it's turn 50 and he still doesn't have a worker? Why do you do this?
