@stirlock I'm still trying to process.

Mistymeanor@Mistymeanor @stirlock Was that the one, who had a thing for chin, trapping everybody in existence and chins in general
@stirlock @Mistymeanor ok. not the one I know. but still, I'm sorry guys. losing a friend's never easy.
@lunar_fang @stirlock @Mistymeanor wait, Brandon Cole, the guy who was pioneering accessibility in mainstream games, that Brandon Cole? that's a huge, huge shock, oh my gosh.
@lunar_fang brandon cole
@stirlock @lunar_fang Oh my god no. Can you share anymore information please? The last thing I saw on here was posting I think about his treatments.
@jpellis2008 @lunar_fang He got an infection and they just couldn't contain it. Everything happened incredibly fast
@stirlock I'm so sorry. I completely understand what you're going through. feel free to reach out if you need to talk.
@canadian_diva Thanks so much. This guy was my best friend in the world. He was my second brother
@stirlock I get it. I lost my best friend in the world in January. 6 months later and it still feels like the first day sometimes. I understand the pain.
Kiki💙@stirlock I'm so sorry for your loss.
@stirlock Biggest hugs!
Kara Goldfinch@stirlock Oh god no. So sorry to hear this.
@KaraLG84 thanks so much. I just can't believe it. It still doesn't feel real.
Allison Meloy@stirlock Oh God! I just, I can’t even process this.
@stirlock But hugs to you, because I know he was your best friend in the world, and I’m so so sorry for your loss specifically.
@technocounselor Thanks so much. I don't even know what to do right now.
@stirlock I know, grief is a journey, and you are just on the first steps. Feel what you feel when you feel it.
@technocounselor @stirlock You sure don't have to tell me about grief; I'm going through it myself.
@boogiechild @stirlock Hugs, I know, and I’m so so sorry.
@stirlock I was shocked when I found out this morning. RIP.
@stirlock I'm so sorry. I know how much his friendship meant to you. and holy crap-that was horribly fast.
@ShortStamp Yeah. Just three weeks ago we were having fun talking about clash at the castle
Yessie 🌓@stirlock I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔
@stirlock what? No! Fuck!
Robin Kipp (old account)@stirlock I am so shocked and sad to hear… Brandon was such an incredible pioneer in the world of blind accessible gaming who truly made a difference… I sadly never had a chance to get to know him, but from his streams and videos he always stood out to me as having a super cheerful personality and being very passionate about his work. I am so, so sorry about your loss and sending lots of positive energy your way.
@stirlock This is heartbreaking. Is there anything we can do to support Misty or his family either monetarily or otherwise? I know it's still fresh, and you may not have answers right now, so please don't worry about it if you don't know. I'm so sorry for your loss--and really, the blind gaming community's loss--he was an unstoppable advocate, incredibly kind, and passionate in a way I only wish I could emulate. RIP Brandon, you will be missed.
@tristan I think just well wishes for now. Thanks so much
@stirlock Really sorry to hear this. I was hoping that he was going to survive.
@StefenHudson I did too. I just had this terrible gut feeling the entire time he was in the hospital. I wish I had been wrong.
Noah Carver 👨🏼🦯🇺🇦@stirlock I am so sorry. Thoughts and prayers for family, friends, and all who knew him.
@stirlock I'm so sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and all his family and friends.
