How a Steam profile can help you grieve a loved one.

Reminds me of seeing how long it has been (a bit over 4 years) since a good friend of mine was last online in Steam. Died suddenly before christmas. RIP. :'(

Personally I think nobody gives a fuck about your profile while you’re alive so why does it suddenly have significance when you’re dead.

Grief is a horrible process that we all go through. Cultural norms are to simply ignore it, suppress it and pretend we’ve moved on.

The digital age preserves a far greater record of our lives than ever before. I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing.
