IceBrand Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 After hearing the news of Iwata's death, I feel not depressed , but really down lately. It felt like yesterday watching him from E3 and from his interview with the Fates' developers. The Internet isn't helping much with the news spreading.

Sentacotus Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I work out intensely for a few hours until I can't anymore that usually takes my mind off of things. Being sociable with people helps too. Even if I don't say much just being around a few friends and hearing them laugh and have a good time is intoxicating in a good way. I also think of things like how and what to collect or work on next like whether it's upgrading my computer cleaning it or finding better ways to arrange my room and make things run better.

Maritisa Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 If I'm feeling down I just try to sleep and usually it goes away by the time I get up, but that may make it worse for some people. But I've been... Genuinely unfazed by the whole ordeal, this particular one anyway. Hard to say if I'm just desensitized or not, I just don't feel it affects me very much. It's a true shame it happened and he'll indeed be missed, but it's not as though the man was one of my dear friends or something. I can't see why some people get so worked up over it. If something happens to someone who wouldn't care if the same thing happened to you then there's no reason to get worked up over it, I feel.

EricaofRenais Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I listen to music, pet my dogs and sometimes I read a favorite book. It is fine to be sad and sometimes we need to cry about things. I know one thing that helped when I lost someone is I went on YouTube and started watching Asterix the Gaul movies and that helped me get through it. I suppose that one thing Iwata would like is if you bought a Nintendo game and enjoyed playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandSteve Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hate to say this, but in a lot of ways you never completely get over it. Time helps heal it at least a little, but not completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 when you lose someone you love or care for deeply, the wound never heals completely. depending on how close one is to the lost loved one determines the deepness of the cut and tenderness of the scar. everyone deals with grief differently. i suggest going out and doing something to get your mind off of it.

Magical CC Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 It stays forever. Sometimes, I see it in my dream. When I wakes up, it gives me a despair feeling. In the dreams, I keep seeing the happiest moments which hurts me a lot cause I know that it is not gonna happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquess Odin Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 From my experience the best thing to do is to see your friends and do stuff with them, something you like. Having fun helps putting things into perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAssassinMercenary Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I read or play video games to take my mind off of it. When I learned of Iwata's death, I played Earthbound, Splatoon, and Mario Kart 8. It's heartwarming how many people were playing as Iwata miis as a tribute in the latter. I watched the gamexplain tribute and discussion, and then stared at the Brawl in the Family tribute for a while. It really is amazing how many people Satoru Iwata impacted. He will be dearly missed.

Lann La Mirah Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Sleep for me. TIme, distraction (games, etc), and hanging with other people helps too. I'm kinda one that gets hung up on grief, so I try to do all I can to keep my mind from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Chrom Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Mostly exercise. Of the hardcore variety. I go running and include a few 100m sprints in it. That seems to do a pretty good job of diffusing stress. It's quite good for depression too if you do it regularly.

Astrid Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I distract myself as much as possible so I don't have to (or even occur to) think about the happenstance in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreejules Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I was really upset about Iwata's death too and my way of coping is to let it all out (like I cried for hours tbh). And to get some sort of respite from what happened, I usually write my thoughts and feelings in a word document or I just talk out loud of what I'm feeling, even if it doesn't make any sense.

Luxian Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I listen to sad music, cry a lot so everything that I have to bear goes away, then go to sleep, and try to be with my friends as much as I can, talk with them about all and everything, then I listen to a peacful music to put my mind at ease. Usually I repeat those events so my emotions settle down better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynstein Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think it's ludicrous that people here would feel so sad for Iwata's death, I mean it was pretty sad and we mourn it because he seemed like a good guy, but we didn't actually know him. I've felt sadness for long, and there are things I'll never forget. There's a specific period of my life I'll never forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icemario Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Being a pretty insensitive person, I'm not too experienced with sadness but what I've done in the past was either sleep, read a book or play videojuegos. Distraction, basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've felt sadness for long, and there are things I'll never forget. There's a specific period of my life I'll never forget. A little empathy goes a long way, I think it's totally understandable to feel sad about Iwata's death. I'd encourage you to remember that before posting in future. I see a lot in my line of work, so I guess I'm a little more adapted to losses - although it doesn't make them any less sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think they were addressing the magnitude of sadness as opposed to the sadness itself. Yeah it's sad, but I don't see any reason why it should be so crushing, if only because our relationship with the guy is impersonal at best.

Whilst that is true, posting "I don't get how people can feel that sad because I don't" doesn't exactly portray oneself as a paragon of empathy.

Chastlily Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It usually only goes away with time, don't let the past define you and behave as you always did. You can't really ignore all sadness that can be there, but life goes on and so should people. So it kind of just happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSbardock84 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Go outside for a walk, usually when its dark and cool outside. Sometimes that makes things worse but usually it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
