Description: I wanted to keep this video solely as my tribute to Etika, so I will post my thoughts and experiences with him here in the description. It's been over a week since we found out about his passing and it still just feels so surreal. We're all gonna feel this loss for a long time to come. There will always be an empty space in the Nintendo community, on youtube, and in all of our hearts. I discovered Etika aka Desmond Amofah back in 2014. I have been a big fan since then and he really changed my life for the better. His constant message of being yourself and motivating yourself inspired me to be myself and to pursue a career in something made me happy, one of which is music. His videos and streams got me through some VERY tough times, as I'm sure he did for a lot of you as well. He's had a positive impact on everyone's lives and the community that he created is one of the best and most supportive on youtube. The fact that he gave EVERYONE permission to make highlights of his content is something that I'm extremely grateful for. Ever since the beginning of high school, editing videos for school projects and for my friends was a hobby of mine. I continued that hobby into University as well, but this time it was with university projects and Etika's stream content. I've been making edited stream highlights for Etika since January of 2017 and I've met some AMAZING people along the way. When Etika first noticed me and respected me as a stream highlighter back in 2017, I was so happy and that inspired me to work even harder and to learn more editing techniques in order to improve the quality of the stream highlights. When my channel hit 100K subscribers, he went out of his way to DM me on instagram saying congratulations and that this was a huge accomplishment not only for me but for the both of us. He also mentioned that he enjoyed my edits and my music. That was hands down the best moment in my entire journey on this platform. It's a day I'll remember for the rest of my life. I've always wanted to meet Etika in person, but unfortunately I'll never get the chance. When everything started going south, the most I was able to do was DM him on IG and Twitter saying that if he needs someone to talk to im here and that I'll always be here for him... I miss you bro, we all do. Thank you for everything you've done for us as a content creator, and as a human being. You've brought smiles and laughter to the lives of millions. I hope your soul is at peace. Rest in Peace, Etika 🖤 #JoyconBoyzFOREVER Those of you who are curious as to what I will do on this channel, I will keep uploading music as I have been since 2017. Etika enjoyed that from me so I will continue making music and hopefully someday I can turn it into a career in honor of him. Thank you guys for everything. Thank you, Etika. It makes me sad to say this, but this will be my last Etika video/highlight. thumbnail art: twitter.com/Tedimations/status/1143608107458846721 Background Music Undertale - His Theme Undertale - Hopes and Dreams [Extended] I used the Undertale soundtrack because it was one of his all time favorite games and Hopes and Dreams was his favorite theme
