Rest in Peace Densetsu

116738.jpg

I know this is where people are supposed to say "hi" but today we say "goodbye" to one of our fellow Tempers. Yesterday we lost Densetsu to cancer. Some of you know him from being a staffer here and others from the Blood of Bahamut translation.

Having known him out in the real world I can say he was a great human being. He was going to school to be a doctor so he could help people, because that was something he was passionate about (and games of course too :)

Rest in peace Densetsu! You will be missed!

FUCK CANCER!

I really don't know what to say... He and I used to work together back in the old M3 days and became pretty close here on the Temp. He was the first person I confided to when I first started to struggle with my gender and sexuality. And he helped a lot through those times until I was confident enough to finally come out.
He was a great man, a great Staff member, and a great friend. I am truly saddened to hear this news, but may his soul rest in peace.

RIP man. Didn't know you but as another person put it, FUCK CANCER.
And it's also sad to see someone passionate about the scene pass.

Isn't there a game someone made where you rearrange DNA or something and it's actually
a program that helps to fight cancer or some other disease? It's like made so that it won't allow
you to create chains that aren't valid. I think this is such an awesome idea, to use the power of the
whole world to make a game that helps solve advanced algorithms to maybe cure things.

Very sad to hear this. Densetsu truly was a legend, always gave a good positive vibe through what he posted around here.

RIP You will be missed.

I had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Densetsu a couple of years back. Great staff member, to say the least. It is really a pity that cancer has taken him away from us. Really wish I could have gotten to know him better. Over the years, I've seen forum members disappear for various reasons and it always made me sad but this one hit me especially hard, even more than I thought it would, to be very honest. Maybe it's because we were both medical students and in one of my lowest of lows, our conversation gave me that little push that I needed. Definitely wished that I had spoken to him more.

I doubt his family will ever see this but I offer my condolences. May you rest in peace, Densetsu. We will miss you.

Thank you for informing us about the tragic news @gamecaptor

The staff were aware that Den was sick for some time now. The last we heard he had gone through a successful course of chemo and surgery and was recovering. I am literally reeling from this shocking news, especially considering we thought he was getting better and was back at med school.

Den was a brilliant guy who contributed massively to both GBAtemp and its community and the translation scene too. I know he would have made an amazing doctor had his time here not ended so prematurely. I can only imagine how many people he would have selflessly helped through illness and injury if he had a chance to live out his dream...

His passing is not just a loss to his friends and family both in the real world and online, but a loss to humanity in general. The more Densetsu's there are in the world, the better a place the world becomes.

Rest in peace my friend.

And now I'm starting to cry. Yes, I didn't know him personally, but no one, and I mean no one, ever deserves to go through this hellacious disease. And with my neighbor/friend with the brain tumor, combined with this, he doesn't have much longer either, I just know I'm going to cry again because it's a matter of time before he too succumbs to cancer :(
