Clive Sinclair passed away today. The ZX Spectrum was where I found my first video game experience. RIP.

So Koichi Sugiyama had passed away on Sept 30. For what it's worth, people still love Richard Wagner, even though he was anti-semitic. As for Suigyama, I'll just say that he made some wonderful music for the Dragon Quest series that will no doubt remain iconic. I don't know if his successor, whoever it will be, will keep them. Ever since the early days of the franchise, they have always used the main theme, the Level Up fanfare, and since the 2nd game, the Inn jingle, and the fanfare for when a new party member joins.

^I'm seriously confused. Are we supposed to mourn a war criminal? How about mourning his countless victims instead?

windfisch he was still an influential if controversial figure and I just reported the link without passing any judgment. Not every person I mentioned in this thread I knew of or cared about.

Well, yes, some of the worst people are sadly also highly influental. I still don't get why his death would be relevant here and why this specific article would be worth linking to, which seems to paint him as a respectable, heroic figure - but that's just corporate news, I guess.

RIP Chris Ayres, English Dub voice of Frieza from Dragonball Z Somehow, this came as hardly a surprise. He had ongoing health issues for years. I think I remember he had been hospitalized years ago.

Richard Kyanka AKA Lowtax, the founder of SomethingAwful and by extension (for better or worse) most of modern internet culture, committed suicide. I won't add any more details since the whole affair is somewhat sordid.
