I have a screenshot from a time in an MMORPG where a member died before they could do a global event quest they’d always wanted to do. There was a player-driven server-wide memorial event where her character was run through the quest by friends so that her name could be honored by a global broadcast message.

The game and the servers are now gone, but that screenshot of everyone holding torches for her character on that day still means a lot to me 20 years on.

So yeah, I think a steam account can fit that billing as a memorial.

I am not sure why Errol reading it as a child vs as an adult means there is no veracity to the notion. Elon was born in 71. Could’ve read a nazi’s book in 1971 and named his newborn after shit in the nazi book.

If excerpts were being published in magazines through the 50s you bet your ass copies were circulating amongst the party faithful.

Their job is to do nothing and cede power and influence to unregulated, uncontrolled private interests of billionaires. It is now, was last week, and was years back. It is the merging and takeover of state power by corporate power.
