After thousands of hours shooting aliens, fighting Nazis, and exploring space together, I am immensely saddened to let everyone know that Caleb "Chaosratt" Paine, a lifelong gamer and friend to many of us for decades, passed away on 10/09 at the age of 38.

He was funny, brilliant, and one of the best Battlefield pilots you'd meet. And brother.

Since many us won't be able to attend his real-world service, Ion has been generous in organizing an event on his Discord server so we can game and reminisce in Chaos' memory. Ion will also attend the real-world service and has offered to leave cards with your name/handle/message on your behalf. Reach him here or on Discord (ion785).

• 10/22 2:00 PM EDT (Sunday): Online service (https://discord.gg/4PZX3gMK).
  
• 10/23 1:00 PM EDT (Monday): Real-world service in St. Petersburg, Florida, US (https://www.memorialparkfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Caleb-Paine).

Finally, if you or anyone you care about are considering self-harm or suicide, PLEASE ask for help by dialing 988 (US) or visiting https://988lifeline.org. Just tell someone. Anyone.

You are NOT alone.
