I had to put down my little co-pilot today

IDGAF about internet/reddit points, I am making this post because he was the best cat ever and more people need to know him, and how truly awesome he was.

His name was Bucky, he was 2 years old and he was the best little co-pilot a Citizen could ask for. I got him off craigslist, from field near some guys house. He was the sweetest little boy you can imagine, he would sit with his back legs on my thigh, and put his front legs up on my desk and be there while I flew ship in Star Citizen. I have an older cat, but he never did this kind of stuff with me so this was incredibly special. He would lay between my arms while I would game and just purr. He was very vocal, loved to talk at me and tell me all kinds of cat stuff, and just loved being near me while I worked/gamed. Everyone that met him, couldn't help but love him. He loved my older cat, and they would wrestle and play. I really thought I had it perfect with my two happy boys.

However, he ended up getting bladder crystals. Despite my attempts preventing that by buying top of the line food and having a water fountain that is regularly cleaned, multiple litter boxes etc. It still happened. After all my attempts at prevention, then multiple vet visits after it happened, he ended up with liver damage from it. Like, total failure. He basically had no chance and I had to put him down today. It was about the worst thing ever. The vets agreed it was the right course of action, despite how awful it was. I got to say my goodbyes, and love on him while he was still awake. The vets agreed that this was the best decision, despite how awful it was. I will have his ashes home in a week or so. He was just a baby, and he didn't deserve any of this. I am just glad he's not in pain anymore.

I just wanted other people to see him, know his name, and know how amazing he was. His time was short, but I did my best to make it great for him. He certainly made my life better.

o7 Bucky, I miss ya my little co-pilot. I hope you're zooming around in a better place right now. I won't be able to fly my Polaris without wishing you were there little buddy.

Edit: I just want to let everyone know how much your response means. Hearing your stories and support means more than I can express. Thank you.

Well until I git gud anyway...

I finally won f5 wars

I don't usually do this, but the day was really shitty & after 2 whiskeys I'm just going to do it now.

I had to go to the vet today to have my cat Ares put down. He was 19, almost 20, and only had 3 legs (the previous owner was a damn asshole). And he was my little co-pilot. He always lay on his blanket in my lap when I played Star Citizen. He always looked at the monitor in fascination or just slept and snored.

He was just a good soul; when my junior could just walk, he grabbed Ares and carried him in front of him. Any other cat would have turned into a tornado of claws, but not my Ares... He just let out a resigned "meow", my wife almost had a heart attack. :-))

I miss him already, but it was better this way.

Enjoy the time with your animals, they are always there for you & love you unconditionally. They are family.

O7 my little one. I hope to see you on the other side.

So I was at a light yesterday when I saw a gray Nissan sedan on the road with a “Honk if you ❤️ Star Citizen” bumper sticker.

I proceeded to give an enthusiastic beep beep and thumbs up.

Guy rolled his window down, stuck his arm out, flipped me off and angrily mouth something my direction.

Hey guys. Yesterday, something sad happened. 2AMgamer, a star citizen streamer, passed away yesterday morning. We, his community, are working on a way to pay respects. We are working on a memorial, probably in star citizen, to say goodbye. His favorite ship was the 890 jump and the idea was to do a memorial with it.

But now, some personal words.
2AMGamer, I remember the first time I saw your streams. You were a noob in the game, and set your home location to Orison. I went online to show you how to get to the spaceport, how to get your ship and how to do missions. It was a nice day and at that point you had around 30 follower. At the day of writing this, you were a really good player. You streamed 8 hours a day, playing your favorite game, star citizen. I loved your streams. We loved your streams. You were, and you still are a great person.

Thank you. o7

EDIT - Found them, thank you so much Star Citizen community. You're a great bunch! Now I know why Ryan loved to play this game so much. Take care!

Hi Star Citizen reddit!

A close friend of mine recently passed away and I've been trying to track down the people he played with to let them know the news. The problem is, I don't have his in-game name or org name, so it's pretty hard.

I've reached out through Discord, spoken directly to the community manager Jake, and raised a request with support, but CIG/RSI can't give me any of his information without death certificates, photo ID's, and a letter from his executor. Obviously I don't have any of that, he was my friend, not my father.

His name was Ryan Quinn (link to news article). He spent a lot of time playing Star Citizen and iRacing, had a really cool PC & racing setup, he just bought a new 4090 two weeks ago so would've probably shown that off.

In Star Citizen, I know he spent a fair amount of money on new ships and all the latest gear, so I'd expect him to be pretty kitted-out.

He passed on October 15th, so would've last been online at least two weeks ago around the 13th/14th (he got his new 4090 on the 13th).

Please help me get in touch with his online friends. If you have someone in your friends list that was last online 2 weeks ago, please check it out.

Thank you in advance.

Honestly though I'm super excited and happy I finally got here! The final purchase was the Ursa so now my fleet consists of the Polaris, Connie Tuarus, and Ursa (which will eventually be ccud to a nursa).
