Re: Campaign Begins To Get Terminal Cancer Patient The Chance To Play Smash Bros. Ultimate

If you take a little time to look around it's easy to see why people refuse treatment. It's very easy now with social media, like this case. It's also a miserable way to spend your evening unless it personally touches you.

The general idea is similar to I could die next month but I'll have some chance to enjoy it or I could die in 6 months and I'm so sick I'll be miserable the entire time. In fat, I might not really be awake. I'm also under the impression that often cancer doesn't exactly kill you but something like pneumonia does because your body is ravaged by treatment. That's how I saw it go, at least. Cancer is a really varied thing. Drawing a conclusion from a few facts probably won't be accurate.

In this case a kid going through something miserable got lucky in a narrow sense and his story got picked up. Good for him. I hope it works out as well as it can. At this stage I imagine they can fly out a guy with a build for a day or something. I don't develop games, but if some kids wanted something we did and we had a technically feasible build we'd be in the next plane out following conversations mature adults understand will happen surrounding something like this.

It's understood it has to be possible and verified. That's not really the conversation, I imagine.

I guess I'm in the minority but I loved the first one. Played it on PC a lot and used to make maps for my LAN group. I got Gorilla on steam but the games for Windows integration crushed it back then.

I'm not sure exactly why I liked the first so much but at the time the environment destruction was really cool, especially in multiplayer. It's so out of left field I'd really consider a switch version of the latest.
