RIP - He was still fairly young.
The code has touched so many things and found its way into so many different media forms (games, literature, and movies). His legacy and impact will still remain long after all of us are gone. |

so many nameable people from 2019 to 2020 in the unified anime - game industry alone dying on mass.
It's pretty distressing and makes you think about how fragile life is. But there's no real reason to *fear* death and uncertainty because life itself is meaningless and painful. |

As painful life can be, it doesn't make the unimaginably eternal void of nonexistence all of the more appealing. Pain isn't as bad as sheer nothingness. |

I'm not a religious person, but there's no need to worry about the prospect of oblivion for a whole lot of reasons with reincarnation being a thing. Sure you may no longer be who you are ever again, but I have no doubt what you leave behind progressing with universal life in a constant. You might come back as a plant, fish, water flea, etc. I just brush it off with that and don't think too much else over it. |

RIP.
Without the Konami Code I could've never finished the original Contra, I remember trying it on other games like Gradius. I also remember hearing that the code was also featured in games that weren't made by Konami and that it also appeared in the original Wreck it Ralph movie. Kazuhisa Hashimoto really made an impact in the industry with a simple password, he will be missed. |

First the Lego mini-fig guy and now Konami code guy. Authors of my childhood, and I didn't even know their names until they were dead.

Someone type in the Konami Code quick! Give that man extra lives!
Seriously though, his loss is a tragedy to the gaming world. Here's hoping he is at peace. |

I'll never forget that time I entered the Code on Gradius III for the SNES, and my ship immediately blew up. Trolling before it was ever cool, if indeed it ever was. spoiler[You have to substitute the right and left arrow inputs with R and L on SNES for it to work...]
