@Octane G'WWWAAAAANNNN!

What are codes for on the site? I just noticed a way to enter them in account setting, but I'm not sure what they do.

I have no idea. @antdickens?

@Octane @Jaz007 when we run competitions and give away download codes for games etc. they are stored and assigned to users to see here

@get2sammyb @shogunrok Where are our free stuff competitions?! Don't you guys love us?

@Jaz007 I'm glad this forum stopped organizing competitions... In 2015 I won the "Funniest and Sexiest PushSquare User Award" and all I got was this:

@Octane I think you have just self promoted your self as the forum electrician... 😉

So not quite sure where to post this but I figure this is the best place to post this.

So last night around midnight my time as I was getting ready to turn in for the night, I got the worst possible news one can get. My mom god rest her soul had passed away.

I know one is never prepared for death but it's extremely hard for me as I just saw her a few days ago and she seemed fine. It's one thing if she was diagnosed with something like say cancer or Alzheimer's or some other fatal diease but she wasnt. I mean she had a few health problems, diabetes, arthritis and such but nothing we thought was major. Right now the initial reports is that it was a heart attack, a massive one and even though emergency crews were called they couldn't do anything. I feel so numb now and, it feels like this is all some kind of terrible dream. I just don't know what I am going to do but I am sure I will figure something. R.I.P. mom.

@Tasuki Dang man, I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know what to say other than I'll keep you in my prayers. Keep strong my man!

@Tasuki I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. You've had an unbelievably awful shock, so take as much time as you need. Thinking of you and your loved ones. x

@Tasuki My sincerest condolences, my friend. That is truly a devastating thing to lose a parent. Hang in there and know that you’ll make it through this.

@Tasuki Sorry to hear that fella. I hope you’ve got plenty of friends and family around to help each other out.

@Tasuki So sorry to hear of your mum passing away. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

@Tasuki Both of my parents have passed away, so even though we’ve never really interacted, hugs to you, and take it one day at a time 🙏

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

@Tasuki I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure how to properly express it in English, but my condolences go out to you.

@Tasuki My condolences chap, terrible news and wish you and all your family and friends the best at this hard time.

@Tasuki My utmost condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you & your family <3.

@Tasuki absolute nightmare. I've fortunately never lost a close relative or friend so I honestly don't know how I'd handle it. Take it easy man.

@Tasuki That's rough, sorry to hear that. When it's sudden like that, it's a terrible shock. All I can think to say is that at least it wasn't drawn out. One of my grandparents died suddenly, while the other was ill for a long time with dementia and related issues. I know which way I want to go. This way you can remember your mum as the person she was, without having to watch her struggle and become someone she's not.

That's zero comfort right now, but it's all I can think to say. Stay strong and take it easy mate
