I just want to give a bump to the fundraiser for Patrick Dane's family as they deal with the long aftermath of the horrific car accident that took him away from us all. They need it for the enormous costs incurred. Time off work. Fights. Hotels. Etc. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Patrick was special. He was nicer than just about anyone in the industry, funnier, and probably more talented. As a boss, he was always patient and kind, but he also loved to share wisdom and lift others up. Pat, I'll treasure the time you gave us ❤️ www.dexerto.com/gaming/patri...

Our team are devastated by this news. Patrick was an incredibly kind, generous and talented person. He truly loved this industry, and was so excited to cover it every day. His passion and enthusiasm were infectious. Just a huge loss. Our thoughts are with his family now. RIP Patrick, and thank you.

A light has been lost. Patrick was a joy. He was patient, kind and had a way with words. Our friendship started and grew from playing Destiny and continued from there. We only had 2 opportunities to meet in person and I am forever grateful for those. I’ll miss you, buddy. Eyes up, guardian.

Pat was stupid great kindness and big heartedness and I am devastated. For almost 10 years I was lucky enough to count him as a close friend, he always cared so deeply it was like being around the sun. I can’t believe I won’t get to hang out with my pal and chat about penguins and lore anymore

I couldn’t have asked for a better friend. The hole Pat leaves is immeasurable but I am so very thankful for the time we got to spend together. The warmth, positivity, and humour that he brought every day was nothing short of spectacular. I don’t have the words to describe how much I’ll miss him.

Words can't even begin to describe this loss. Pat was a staple in my day to day. The constant Discord messages, him sending me whatever internet trend he was obsessed with at the moment, constantly trying to plan our next Destiny dungeon run, the list goes on...

Can we make a “people who literally have no reason to be in a starter pack” starter pack just so I can feel important?

Seeing a bunch of people saying they need to build their follower count back up. Ha, jokes on you. At the other place my following was 80% bots and 20% friends who didn't know any better
