When somebody passes away at a high age, after having lived what probably amounted to a full and worthwile life, is that sad?
It is sad for those that remain behind that he is not among us anymore, but the fact that he passed away isn't sad.
Yeah, it is kind of sad to me, even with people who have lived to an advanced age and accomplished many things. It's still sad to see that they have left this world, especially if that person has left a mark on you. I guess it's the middle age in me, constantly wondering about my own demise. Now, could we argue that there can be differing degrees of sadness based on how that person has affected you, age, emotional attachment?

There can be different levels of gratitude. That can go both ways. You can be gratefull that they died, preferably in a horrible manner. Or you can be gratefull for the mark they left on your own fleeting life or the world.
If we're considering this from an aesthetic perspective as we appear to be, let me point out that someone who dies young without suffering is not at all an example of tragedy (and therefore I assume not sad), as proven by Stephen Daedalus in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Considering that Ian Holm died at 88 after suffering from Parkinsons for a number of years, his death is obviously a tragedy.
I'll make a poin to grab Monster Boy when it's on sale sometime. I've heard nothing but good things, but I've been moving away a bit from digital games until I get a larger hard drive for my PS4.
There is even a physical release on the Switch and PS4.
I don't know. Is it?

I really liked Catherine on the 360 so I may double dip and get the Switch version plus there’s extra content which is definitely a plus.

I will slap you! Now go buy Monster Boy!

GG, it's September! You've been so absorbed in Animal Crossing that you forgot what month it is?
Your wife told me you have an unusually large wang. I don't need this information damnit. Also you and your kids have abandoned Animal CrossingIt's a sensitive issue. I'm a tad bit embarrassed.
Pure slander!Slander on myself? Yeah, I'm not really embarrassed.
It’s better then her saying someone else has an unusually large wang.
Well, I meant from your wife. Could have been a bit more clear on the matter.
