Man... just woke up, checked HN as usual, and now I‘m up in tears. Communities like the ones from Elite Dangerous or EVE Online really tend to shine in such moments. I‘m... I don‘t know what else to write. Dang it. o7
A good friend of mine died young. Captain Luke Lonestar was a well loved director of our corp and friend to many.
For his funeral, the group had our own send off for him. This included multiple people flying to New York from as far away as California.
It is incredibly surprising how close knit a gaming community can be. How much support each and everyone provides each other. I can say I'm a better person for knowing him and for what he had done for me and our group.
It is truly amazing how far a good community will go to help each other.
