Happy Landfill posted:Every thing you have chosen to share with us about your family have been genuinely delightful. I think it really is a testament to how much your silly internet stuff has touched our lives that all of us, literally strangers, are mourning with you. I often find myself taking care of children and after reading what Id shared I sometimes found myself thinking that if I ever had to be a dad, I'd be a cool one like him. I'm so sorry man, I wish there was something I could do.

Just another internet stranger here to say your LPs have brought me so much joy and laughter over the years, and to see the person who brought that suffer something no parent ever should is just... heartbreaking. All of my best to you, your family, and your daughter's SO.  Take all the time you need; we can wait, this can't.

The only thing I've lost was a dog and I cried for two days (because he was the best dog) so I can at somewhat relate. I'm sorry for your loss. It feels terrible. Hang in there, goon. Don't give up.

Christ, this is awful. I lost my dog last month, and I'm still messed up from it. But that's nowhere near losing a child. I can't even imagine losing a child. Please, take all the time you need. This LP can wait.

Squiddycat posted:I don't mind donating, hell, it feels like something I can do that would actually make a difference. But I think we should wait for him to ask if he even wants donations first. In theory, I completely agree with you. I also told--not asked--TDI on twitter to let us throw money at him. For what my opinion is worth (absolutely nothing), Thoughts & Prayers from internet strangers don't amount to much in this kind of situation, now matter how genuine the sentiment (because I am a bleeding heart I have cried a bit). General life philosophy here, but just as you don't say "can I help with anything" but rather "what needs to be done" to actually be useful, when someone you care about seems like they could benefit from assistance you shouldn't go "oh I'm so sorry, let me know if there's anything I can do"--you just take the initiative and bring dinner, or help clean, or whatever. I hope his loved ones are already doing that, but I selfishly want to as well. The only thing I, as an internet rando, can do would be to however-slightly ease his family's financial burden, as rude as 'gently caress your pride or sense of modesty I'm pitching in' is. Because of the selfish, quid-pro-quo-ness of my 'you've helped me in ways you can't even know for years so now I want to try to give a piece of that back' sentiment I see it less as donating and more as providing: he can use it, he can donate it, he can set it on fire, whatever bests floats his boat. It is important to carefully weigh the consequences of a bumbling unsolicited attempt to help. Certainly if TDI finds this rudeness offensive, it's time to back the gently caress off. But for me personally, after thinking on it, I would rather risk a "gently caress you piss off" to avoid hearing a "no there's nothing y'all can do." Of course now that I know he has a patreon there's nothing TDI can do to stop me

I can't even imagine what you're going through, TDI. Try to hang in there, because you mean a lot to a lot of people. If people are looking for more Shadow Hearts: Covenant, it's about to be featured on an RPGLimitBreak speedrun. SPOILERS, obviously: https://www.twitch.tv/rpglimitbreak/

So I guess recent events have come up here. My daughter passed away suddenly last week due to... what's it matter? She's gone. To say that was kinda devastating to me is an understatement. She was probably the only aspect of my personal life that actually leaked into LPs on occasion. I probably wouldn't have liked the original NieR as much as I did if I didn't have a daughter the same age at the time. Anyway, I'm a barely functional husk that just woke up from a day of drinking yesterday. And the day before. And is about to go to another day of drinking. Looking at the schedule for the week that liquor cabinet I had is now just a challenge. Needless to say, this LP is on an indeterminable and perhaps permanent hiatus in favor of my new series of Let's Play Crippling Depression. I'll keep this thread open for a few days before locking it and... well... See you around. Or not. I really don't care at this point...

While I can’t do much to change your life from here, and I emphasize with your situation, I think I speak for a lot of folk when I say I really wish you would not do what you say you have set out to do. I wish you would pull yourself out of the depression and will try to help as best I can. I’m not a regular reader of your LPs, I lurk more than post in the threads, I don’t know you, nor vice versa. We’re not in each other’s lives physically. God knows my own life is nothing great. You don’t know me, probably have few reasons to pay attention to what I’m saying. But I’m going to speak anyway and hope some part of you gets what I say. Your fault for not locking the thread sooner if you want to see it that way. (That last sentence is a joke.) There are many reasons to live life and to enjoy it. You have lost one. Another, the joy I presume you got from contributing LPs to this place and thus entertaining others, remains. If you no longer have what motivated you to do that, ok. But don’t destroy yourself over depression. I haven’t read your Twitter, I didn’t know your daughter, but I really don’t think she’d want that. And as a fan of your work I don’t want it either. I don’t know much about life, but I do know you got to take joy where you can. Recognize and accept when it is given to you. That is the way to happiness. And unfortunately happiness can never be total or permanent but that doesn’t stop life being better with it than without. If you can find the strength in yourself to live once again for the joys in your life that remain, I will still be here to read your works. And I do not think I will be alone. And even without your works, because of the joys they gave me in the past, I will still be here for you as a friend should they be over. I don’t think I’m alone in that either.

As someone still battling depression after the combo of sexual abuse, losing my grandmother and then my father. I want to say it'll get better, that it gets easier. It doesn't. Some days it's going to hurt less, and then you'll have dreams and nightmares where they're still alive and you'll wakeup to soul crushing pain and agony. Unfortunately life goes on. Go to a therapist, you'll need it. Destroying yourself with alcohol won't help. It'll only make the pain worse. There exists no words in the world to make this better or easier. I don't say this to be harsh. I say it because you need the truth. In a situation like this logic doesn't seem to matter, and your world feels worthless. But you have family who needs you. So take care of yourself above everything else. I can't claim to know what your daughter would want you to do. But you know. It'll be a day at a time for the rest of your life. But you can do it. From the bottom of my heart thank you for everything you've ever done to entertain and help us in our times of pain and suffering. Now please, take care of yourself.

I had no idea before how the passing of a girl that I hadn't even known a name of before could affect me. I do not post much, and if I do, it is only your LP. I lurked a lot before and in 2015 decided to register on SA just to tell you how happy your LPs are making me, how my gaming life has become richer due to the introduction of Drakengard! into it. It was May 2015, and some time around that moment, the thread got locked due to the other tragic event in your life. Recently, I was drawing fanart to post here, and I literally thought "Yes, that is the peak of my life! Learning Japanese, years of drawing practice, stable income - all of it was to bring me here, to draw an elderly creep in a fetish dress with cleavage, to post in a friendly community, and have this much fun" (true story). The friendly community that you have brought together in this thread and other threads like this. And now my drawing is on the same page with some awful news. So you can tell that all was my fault and get mad at me for bringing you bad luck. I almost shed tears when I knew what her name was, Id. I almost want to know more about her, but I am afraid anything else would only make it sadder. This all... had an impact on me too. I have felt her grow through some sporadic info. I felt you love her. I can also guess you have a wife and at least one more kid. I would like to wish you to take care of yourself and your family. Not by taking out some shadowlord, but by support. You can come out of this situation as a hero by becoming a good example of how best dads handle such a mess. Somebody fucked around with this message at 00:53 on May 12, 2019 |

This was a good post, but you should probably delete that last sentence. It might come off in poor taste. My two cents Id, don't try and force yourself to feel better, especially not like this. From my experience of grief, doing that only tends to make things worse. Whether it's fake forced positivity/motivation or by trying to numb the pain. I really don't know how to tell you to get through a loss like this, but this isn't the way. Even if you're not ready to reach out to others yet or simply don't want to (and that latter part is absolutely an understandable notion), then please don't destroy yourself like this. You mean too much to too many people. Shitenshi fucked around with this message at 21:14 on May 11, 2019 |

Thanks for all the laughs over the past decade, Id. I don't think anybody would consider potential LP retirement unjustified after everything. If for whatever reason you need a Squiddycat to talk to you know where to contact me, friend.

Id, you have a gift I could never reach. You have a way with sarcasm, and words, and knowing what characters would say outside of the confines of a script. You're a million times a better writer than I am and you don't even try and write novels or stories! So, please, don't throw away your gift, drinking yourself to death. Live, and love, and laugh twice as hard, for both yourself and your daughter. Yes, there is pain in your life. You should reflect on it, and your heart does need time to heal. But do not let grief rule the rest of your life. Do not get rid of that humor and joie de vivre that made us come back to your LPs time and time again. We'll be here, waiting. Patiently. Lovingly. Acceptingly.
