She had a huge influence in the early days of gaming, and many will remember her as a caring, genuinely funny and passionate woman who loved her work and people.
I saw the news on Reddit about her GoFoundMe, as well as the tragic update a day ago, and now the sad news of her passing, and I thought some people here on Lemmy would gladly take the chance to remember her and celebrate her life.
Damn. One month, you find out you have cancer. Next month, you’re dead.
She regularly posted on Mastodon, and during the last month there was a post every few days about how much she was in pain. It was heartbreaking really, and finding out that she lost that battle didn’t make it any better.
Was just going to say the same thing. Damnit that sucks. RIP.
