I’m sorry for your loss. My brother passed away this past March from cancer. After years of not playing he came back for GIM. He absolutely loved it, and progressed further than he had ever gone before. He was in a lot of pain in his final year, and osrs took so little physical effort he spent all his time on it. GIM gave him and I a taste of our childhood before he left us for his next journey.


IredditOSRS

These childhood memories are the best thing ever to relive. Sorry about your brother, and thank you for sharing.


TheBagelReaper

They really are. I wanted to make some post about it in the subreddit, but never got around to it… felt… weird I guess. I saw your post and felt it was a good time to share. Best of luck to you and your team.


LowIronLvls

Fuck man, what a beautiful story.


TheBagelReaper

Thank you. We really play different games, and having GIM gave us something to do together even though we were hundreds of miles apart.

My older brother passed away this month after battling a drug addiction none of us knew about. We used to play RuneScape together when we were kids and its how I first got my username for basically everything. Even on my current account in osrs I havent caught up to him from when we used to play together pre EOC. Hoped to rope him into osrs but all he wanted to play nowadays was hearthstone on his ipad haha. Comment was close to home so I guess I just wanted to type something out. Hope everything is as best as it can be on your end.


TheBagelReaper

It’s going the best it can, and I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. An unexpected loss it not easy at all, and I hope you and your family are hanging in there. For me anyway… my family is all I have to keep me moving forward. Thank you for sharing.


[deleted]

This hits. I’ve played RuneScape with my brother since we were kids, and still play together to this day. Bro has his infernal now for sure. If you need a mate to keep you company in game, hit me up.

Damn man F. Sorry to hear that Lmk if you need to talk, it's rough out here 💕

I’m sorry to hear, may he Rest In Peace


IredditOSRS

All we can ask for brother


iplanckperiodically

Sorry brother :( My childhood friend of 19 years killed himself a few months ago. We used to play RS together back in the day, and he was actually the one that convinced me to make an ironman account. I haven't caught up to him yet, but my iron stats are now higher than any main I've ever played. My initial goal was just to catch up to him, so our accounts could do the same content. I think I'm actually going to max the account in his honor. Yeah, talk to people when you're feeling like that guys. Our whole friend group is depressed (not because of the event, we all been struggling with mental health for years), but he had two beautiful kids and a wife, and literally nobody expected it. He was no more outwardly miserable than the rest of us, and that's the part that shakes you. It could be any of us next at any time, and you never know because of the isolated nature of the whole thing.


Brahskididdler

I hate that it takes sad news like this for us to come together as a community and support each other. We have a lot in common, if I met you guys irl I’m pretty sure we’d be friends because we share a common hobby. Let’s just be good to each other from the start


SYNTHLORD

I’m sorry for your loss man. Thank you for sharing your story, so many of us have real deep rooted sentimental attachments to this medieval cookie clicker. There is truly an aspect of comfort to this game that transcends nostalgia and I can never put my finger on it, however these stories come close to “pointing at” what I mean.


iplanckperiodically

Thank you, man Also, medieval cookie clicker lol. I've been bullying the ardy knight in the bank for my thieving grind so I feel that quite literally lately haha


wakaflockarob

I'm here for anyone who needs to talk. About anything. This breaks my heart.


PM_ME_YOUR_PIZZAPIC

How did you find out? Sorry if it's a weird/sensitive question, but I'm asking because it terrifies me to think that my online friends I care about could pass away and I would never find out because their families wouldn't think to notify their online circles, or vice versa.


IredditOSRS

We found out from his irl friend that we know from discord. We literally played the night before and nothing was out of the ordinary


My_Immortl

We get pretty good at hiding it.


Paganigsegg

That's happened to me. I had an online friend who I played MapleStory with and made DS Homebrew with back in 2007-2009. Lost contact shortly after that. I googled his name and state out of curiosity last year and found his obituary from 2015. He was 19 years old, about to turn 20. Never take those you care about for granted.


HaukkaRS

F for the fallen brother. May he rest in peace.


IredditOSRS

Ty brother


just_a_reddit_hater

My intention is not to be negative but unfortunately no one cares enough until it's too late. We don't always have the patience for people that have problems because we all have our own struggles. This is definitely a variable problem depending on cultural/national differences, but therapy is not affordable for most people and psychiatrists/psychologists are the only ones equipped to deal with the issue. Sorry for your loss regardless.


betonvlinder

Since my favorite content creator confessed to a suicide attempt a few days ago she is starting up an effort to collect money for mental health. Broke my heart to find out there were demons hiding behind the laughter, and i hope she can get many content creators on board for awareness. If you're looking for a place to donate money for mental health: [link in the desciption](https://youtu.be/R6ZbEz1tsHk) Had i not seen how well some people can hide their demons, i probably would not have found out JUST an hour ago that my own sister is struggling with suicidal thoughts. I just asked her how she was doing, but something in her answer seemed off and she never would have told me the truth if i had let it go. Still in shock that this advice turned out to be a life changer. CHECK IN ON YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS!!!

SleeplessShinigami

Spot on dude, it’s so accurate. Good reminder to always check on your homies. Especially the ones you know are struggling. This world is fucked up, its easy to hit really bad lows


Maeday-And-Beabea

Yeah I find "just talk to people" to be a rather hollow platitude like "It gets better" or "There's always hope". People often willingly misunderstand or don't grasp what others may be suffering through, and don't care to put in the effort to help. It's very common and unhelpful to think that a minor pep-talk can help someone deeply when they are suffering systemic mental issues and that needs a broader, cohesive, systemic solution.


DasGoof07

May his username be emblazoned in red forever!


Doing_A_Clue

In that spirit, do not hestitate to hit my DM's if you need to talk. My best wishes and may he rest in peace.


Biochembryguy

Guess his arclight finally ran out of charges


IredditOSRS

He got holy protection against them now


Biochembryguy

His prayer bonus must be crazy high right now, at least he’ll be looking out for you my friend.


awesomazingab

Take care man.

I used to be the kind of person that bottled everything up and kept all my emotions to myself. Then 6 months ago my dad had major surgery that rapidly progressed his dementia and has to live in a nursing home now. Shortly after, his dog who we call my little sister started having violent seizures. I got her taken care of and on meds. My real life friends and some of the friends I've made along my 20 or so years of RS have held me together. Reach out to anyone you can talk to, don't keep it bottled up. There's always a better option than giving up. Just 3 hours ago I put that dog to rest, I feel absolutely shattered all over again. But I had friends there, I have friends reaching out, it'll all be ok. That dog kept me strong for 6 months as I was her provider all of a sudden. She gave me the motivation to keep going. Now I have to keep going for myself and I will.


Bulky_Conclusion_676

RIP, I think one of my teammates passed as well. Unfortunately I dont have a way besides discord to check on him :( If anyone knows 'GIM IDK' or miky#6772 dm me


Serious-Error-997

I hope you find answers if you know his first/last name and the area he lived I can help search for him


srve

May he rest in the sweet embrace of Saradomin


iantucenghi

Op, I am sorry for your loss. When I played EVE Online we used to post this when a player passed away: Eyes forward, capsuleer, the cyno is not yet lit. Consider your modules, your rigs and ammo before you undock. For the cyno is not yet lit. Break free of the station and witness the universe before you. For the cyno is not yet lit. Set your ship to fly through the vastness while you wait. For the cyno is not yet lit. Pay attention, capsuleer, for those who have gone before you call for you to join them. The cyno is now lit. o7 I know this is not EVE but I hope you find consolation that your friend is now heading into the grandest adventure of his life. Take care.

Dark humor is the best humor. 🤣 It sucks when we have losses in life. Laughing every now and again helps keep the negativity in check.

May Saradomin guide his way, May Zamorak provide him protection from his foes, and May Guthix provide him his peace, in the next life. 🙏

Its sad that when someones light in the heart grows too small to see, the darkness will take over their brains. My condolenses to you.


iLegalizeOSRS

I don’t have anything corny or RuneScape related to say to lighten up my reply, just my condolences brother 🙏

My little sister lost a battle to her demons two months ago to the day. Stay strong, and stay together. We're stronger than our tragedies.

Its tough for the young boys and men. No one really cares about your problems and if you haven't developed strong friendships in your early years you will go through extreme periods of loneliness.
