Just told someone pineapple belonged on pizza and remembered Icaio getting very agitated when I told him that.
He was never uncool but he was Italian and had to defend pizza.
Miss that dude.

Bump for icaio. Lovely to see this train is still going, I'm sure he would have like it

Stumbled upon an article Icaio would have gotten a kick out of
Digital afterlife: Will your AI self outlive you—and what does that mean?

I was never really that active on here in the forums but I would always remember seeing icaio from time to time. Would miss his presence.

Cart 1333 was holding the line for a while as the oldest active cart. Train Schedule just got updated. Cart 1425 departs in a few more days!

Hey all. I am going to start by saying that I do not have any more information than what I am sharing in this post.
EDIT: as it turns out, I do have some more information
ANOTHER EDIT, just a quick update
As some of you know, icaio has not been on SG for a while, and he hasn't logged into his Steam profile either.
I posted on his Steam profile a few weeks ago, just a quick note saying I hoped he was okay.
Yesterday I received a friend request on Steam from someone I did not recognize. I didn't see any obvious red flags, so I accepted.
This new friend sent me a message today, saying that they were icaio's cousin, and they saw my post on his profile and wanted to let me know that icaio passed away on September 30.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that icaio was an absolute legend of Steamgifts. His generosity, sense of humor and thoughtfulness came through in every 'showerthinking' post and every 'trash' game giveaway and every time he helped to solve a derailment in the community train.
Before I visited Rome a few years ago, caio volunteered to give me his mobile number so I could ask him real-time questions while I was in Italy. And that's exactly what I did! So we didn't quite get a chance to actually meet in person, but it was fun to chat with him while we were in the same country.
Not much more to say right now. Just R.I.P. to icaio, he will always be a Steamgifts legend.
