I was so focussed on the positive results from the start of the summer, that i never realized it could go downhill so fast.Ītwix/Ivo was a sweet guy. I feel VERY bad that i didn't spend more time with him this summer. The plan was for me to go visit him yesterday, but unfortunately he was already in a very deep sleep since saturday evening and he passed away yesterday afternoon in the arms of his younger brother. I wanted to visit him last weekend, but saturday i got a text from his mother that he was in very bad shape. But it all went downhill from there rapidly. Thursday evening he told me on whatsapp he felt a bit better, and we were even talking that maybe if he had some better days, we could go to the sea for a day or something. He couldn't keep up with me and he was very weak.Ī few days later he was back at the hospital. After an hour he asked me to take him to his mom's house. I had a few beers and he had some water, but he had an agonizing headache. Saturday 4th september i went to a bar with him near his house, we sat on the terrace. From what i've heard from atwix/Ivo he will probably be ok though.Ī few weeks ago he told me he was out of options. So stemcell from him was never an option again. AND his brother that was compatible, also got a tumor in his throat and also had to get a treatment. Unfortunately life likes to kick you down when you're about to get up and they couldn't the cancer down enough to start the stemcell transplant. It also turned out that one of his brothers was 100% compatible for stemcell transplant. The second time neither.Īt the beginning of July he got a new treatment (with weekly injections or something) that seemed to get the cancer down by a lot. Very unfortunately the chemo didn't work. I dont think he played a lot, because obviously chemo wears you out. So he soon went to the hospital where i visited him the first week and lend him my laptop so he could play some games. Then a week later, i got a text then it turned out to be myeloid leukemia. He was a nurse as profession, but i rolled with my eyes and found his conclusion pretty dramatic. In february we were playing Valheim for the first time, but he kept complaining about this painful cough he had.Ī week later when we were playing GD again, he was still complaining about it and mentioned to me 'it might be cancer'. I kept telling him 'once we get to Ultimate difficulty' it will get harder, i swear! But even the endgame was pretty doable when you play with someone like him. We had a lot of fun, but it lacked challenge for him. We played it for over a year every week/two weeks.Īs with every game he plays, he gets too good at it. In 2019 i convinced him to buy Grim Dawn + Expansions, because it was my favorite arpg. We did meet in Antwerp a few times for steak and beers. We were in touch regularly, but didn't play any games together. Then we were out of touch for several years, untill one day i drove through the city where he lived and decided to get in touch with him again. As with EU IV, the guy was VERY good at theorycrafting, so usually he made some OP chars where he just killed everything and i was tagging along behind him We played Diablo 2 together a lot, i got him into Titan Quest and also Dungeon Siege 2. But just like me he was a huge fan of Arpg's. After that he switched to several other mmo's. Then i started playing Wow, but he kept playing AC2.
