Yup, a few people. It has also been a good reason to reach out to friends out of touch. Life's too short to let someone think you don't care or forgot about them.
So are we sending all the Softshells to work in our new dilithium mine? :p
All surviving Softshells from their first two weeks of mining now have a bit more exoskeleton. :) And the contest winners got an extra bump for being trivially awesome.
@rjayb89: @takua108: That's pretty goddamn awful, but thanks for sharing it nonetheless. Every day is bringing new emotions up, that's for sure.
And I will wait for a cause of death to be announced. There are too many possibilities to bother guessing. To reflect on OP's question I can say that I personally knew people young and old who had aneurysms that resulted in stroke or death. There's no warning. They're just gone.
@cbarnes86: Jeff said there ain't no stoppin' the podcast train. Seeing them on camera might be asking a lot... I mean "holding up well" besides showing up for work everyday? They are coping. There's a difference. It's ok that things are not ok.
I posted a couple vids in the announcement thread, so won't dupe that here.
I do remember every time he read my emails on the podcast, and once or twice mentioned my chat comment on a stream. He's probably the reason I went to CAX2011.
Also I thought he was a total asshole for never once writing to say thanks for my gift mailbags over the years. But I'm hardly the only person who contributed to the impossible deluge of packages. But that is my one and only Fuck Ryan Davis sentiment. Otherwise his assholery was glorious.
