I may not have known who Spitznagl was, but from what I've heard, they were a really nice active user and friend of many here. It's always sad to hear someone pass away....

May they rest in peace.

Never met the guy beyond like a single forum post here, but Its apparent even to me that he contributed a lot and did some pretty great work.


I'd like to make the suggestion of replacing the "boo" text at the top there with any good tribute quotes that get made for him.

All I remember about him is that he organized the Advent Christmas thing last year. He seemed like a pretty cool guy, and I respect his parents for alerting us about the news.

Happenings like this always remind me that the worst can happen to anyone at anytime. And when it happens to cool guys like him, it especially sucks.

May he have a peaceful rest.

I haven't had many personal interactions with him, but like everyone else, I recall nothing but pleasant and upbeat posts from him. What a shame - my condolences.

i didn't get the chance to know him either but...

thank you, spitznagl, for bringing a little more light to this place.

and to his family, i wish them well during this hard time. it's never easy losing a family member or...well, anyone for that matter. but any of us who've lost someone close to us knows more or less how difficult this is for them, so let's keep them in our thoughts.

I didn't know him for long, but that short amount of time was a good one.

My condolences to Spitzy's family. It's never easy to lose someone. Now that I had to experience it myself earlier this year... but it hardly matters now.

Thanks for everything, Spitzy, and rest well. We will continue your legacy.

I knew him from the demo banner thread and from the Christmas event. This is very tragic news...
Rest in peace spitznagl. You were a really rad dude who's super good at organizing things, and condolences to your family as well.

All I know of Spitznagl is that he did great things for our community.

May whatever he is finding now be to his liking.

Will you be doing it in memorium? I only feel like that'd be fitting. But... I can understand if you wouldn't feel comfortable. It really... there's no real way to "raocow" it up, is there?

Man. I really wish I knew him better. He always seemed so nice from what I saw.

Benjamin Krupa was an amazing dude. I got to talk to him briefly this year after I friended and gifted him on Steam. He was talking about this project he was wanting to send to raocow (a Duck 2.0) and wanted my input on it. I made my suggestion and he went to work on it. I didn't hear much from him after that, but he was grateful for my advice and the Steam gifts. It pains me to know that he isn't around. I was actually thinking about getting him something for Christmas this year.

Damn it. It seems to me that all the decent people leave first...

at the same time, knowing him I know he wouldn't want to cause any problems.

maybe in between the maglx2 proper and postgame would be a good time.

Honestly, if someone objects to a video dedicated for an important talkhaus member's death, that viewer shouldn't even be watching your videos in the first place.

That's still your call, though.

I'm gonna be honest, I just don't feel ready to do something like that right now and I want a very controlled, very precise 'point' in the near-ish feature to do it, because... that's how I deal with situations like this.

I'm honestly still in somewhat of a shock.

Oh no. Don't even know what to say. I didn't see this until today. Awful.

Rest in peace, man :(

Good people always go away first, when least expected.
Always been an outsider of this place, but it easy to see, that he had done many good things. A moment of silence in the name of a great guy.

Oh, man...
I can only echo what a lot of folks have said here already -- didn't know him all that well myself, but he seemed like a wonderful person. My condolences to Ben's loved ones.

Well, uh, I don't really know what to say? Though considering dude's achievements and untimely passing it'd be inappropriate to just stay silent. I uh...

Rest in peace, Spitznagl. Condolences to your comrades and otherwise significant others.

It's never fair when the world loses a young, talented, and kind person like Spitznagl. I've wanted to write something here since I saw this thread go up, but honestly I don't think anything I could say would be good enough. It's absolutely heartbreaking to hear about this.

Rest in peace, Spitznagl, and my condolences to his family and loved ones.
