Big ups friend, hope everyone whose reading this is doing well. Glad we all still come back for some smiles from Etika. Let's keep on living remembering all the amazing things he's taught us!
This is a very good thing to do. Because anyone could see these if in a bad spot, do the research, and get the help they need. And that could save lives. So unessasary but very a great thing
Had you ever been to one of his streams when he was y'know still alive? That was normal for his streams, they weren't actually toxic, that's just how hype his streams used to be.
@Thor Wilhelms for Undertale’s 5th anniversary they did a concert of the soundtrack played by an orchestra. It’s amazing, I recommend checking it out if you haven’t already
well, it has been scientifically prooven that our heartbeats tend to sync up to music when listening to it, so yeah, it was very accurate that it did so
This man is just the pure essence of happiness, all he wanted to do was just stream, be a great guy, interact with his audience, whenever he was streaming, there was never a dull moment. He was memorable, R.I.P., Desmond.
I've commented on another video of Etika reacting emotionally to Undertale, but this.... This shows Etika's true child-self. He was just like any of us, just wanting to have fun and enjoy things. That little bit at 7:43 where he seems to be tearing up from the MUSIC and the nostalgia it had..... That's beautiful.
i was playing deltarune chapter 2 and i was like "the music is so good in this! I wonder if etika has played this yet." and then i looked it up and got confused that there werent any reactions, til i remembered he was dead...
His reaction to first hearing Press Garden Act 2 makes me feel giddy inside every time because that’s exactly how I felt first hearing it. God, I miss him every day.
Etika was one of the only youtubers that I know that had a genuine appreciation for the video game music during his gameplay. Almost always a genuine second to just appreciate the music when it came up. Loved the dude, will definitely miss him.
I still have trouble accepting that Etika is gone. It’s just so strange to think about how this man, and everything that made him amazing, is gone. I miss him. I miss him a lot. If only I had been able to enjoy him before he died.
Gone to early. I counted Etika as my first death cuz I watched him since 2015. I always wanted to meet him and he even reacted to one of my vids but man I miss him so much aswell man. After etika everything sucked
Everytime I see a clip a smile forms on my face literally the entire time, then the video ends and I feel awful as fuck. Every single time. God dammit.
@@abrahamgarcia7044 I was sad when it happened but it didn't really hit until about a week later when the thought came up "I'll never be able to watch him stream again" and I just cried non stop for an hour. Even though he's gone, he'll always be with me and many others too. Joycon Boyz Forever
Etika is the only other person I know that has such a passionate reaction to Toby's music other than me. Toby's music gives me every reason to live and more. it's the purest form of joy for me. it makes it hurt even more he'll never hear Chapter 2
I don’t know why but for just a moment seeing “Made 5 months ago” got a part of my brain saying “Oh hey I haven’t seen Etika in a while...oh right” Rest you divine funny man
@@lordmarkquad4470 that's great for him. I wasn't even trying to be disrespectful towards him 3 years ago, I genuinely just didn't cry about his death because I didn't know him. You can stop defending someone who's been dead for years from someone who didn't even disrespect him, can't you?
lost him and my grandpa a month apart from each other, but I'm glad people have saved all his stuff. one of his reactions always feels fresh for almost any scenario, he had that gift about him. R.I.P. Desmond "Etika" Amofah
Etika really made me appreciate life a lot more. Seeing him react to things helped me realize to appreciate the little things a lot more. I try not to take anything for granted anymore. He taught me how to live life more. He was a gift to us.
It hasn't hit me that hard because he passed almost a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, I'm 100% certain that in 10 years, when everybody has played Deltarune and it's a fucking timeless masterpiece, seeing his run of chapter 1 is gonna make me bawl like a fucking toddler.
Because they play games without music like that, it's simple. They never played something like Symphony of the night, or anything that would stick with you like you actually stopped playing to listen to it.
His reaction to Hydrocity caused someone to mention it in the comments of the actual Hydrocity theme on RUclips, which is how I found the channel. Gone too soon
You know how in life you kinda start of with this child like sense of happiness, where you over react and just have fun, but over the course of our lives we lose it, becoming more and more gloomy as life goes on, becoming more serious, and learning to control ourselfs and fit to what society wants us to act like... He seemed to never lose that spark and its something to look up to.
This man not even here no more and he still managing to make me vibe and cry at the same time... rest in peace Etika. You were a blessing on this world
Listening to Deltarune Chapter 2 songs like Attack of the Killer Queen makes me wonder how much Etika would be bopping to it if he was still around, rest in peace bro
Man, if he played as knuckles bro he would've gone crazy... personally never watched any of his streams when i was younger or never had known of him, but seeing his reaction made me smile, and i wished i had seen him earlier...
His reactions, his personality, his opinions, the fans and memes are amazing and one the greatest live streamer and entertainer in my life. Rest In Peace Etika ✊1990 - 2019
I'll never ever forget Etika and his positivity. I hope we can have more people as happy and optimistic as he was (atleast fron the way he presented himself cause obviously he was going through problems)
Young, handsome, friendly, articulate, never afraid to laugh. I miss him so, so much. There's a whole population of bright souls like Desmond, and we must do right by them, where we couldn't for him.
The reason why I love Etika so much is that he actually cared about the music in the games he played. That's mainly what I look up gameplays for, to see people's reactions to the music. And only he could provide at times.
Dude, he's given me a new appreciation for music on top of the appreciation I had already. May Etika rest in peace, he was one of the best. I think he would've definitely bopped to No Straight Roads.
Aww, no way? I came across him when Sonic Mania first came out and remember laughing and loving his reaction to the soundtrack. Seemed a great guy. Can only imagine how rough that must have been for his fans (and friends and family obviously) RIP. ❤️
I got recommended this at 2AM during a time when I was just beaten down mentally and nearly cried homie, thank you for bringing back some of the feels I get from Etika's streams.
My favorite of these clips is the one where he’s in the shop just jamming. I remember opening up his stream and hearing that song for the first time along with him. Some of these moments are difficult to forget and will forever be imprinted in my mind. Thank you Etika.
knowing that deltarune has just came out, i really wish he was still here to experience the second chapter. he was so excited to see what would happen in upcoming chapters. rest in peace etika :)
This man still puts a big ass smile on my face even after his passing. Used to watch him all the time in high school. His streams were kinda like my comfort food after a long shitty day. The environment and energy he created was something I’ll never experience again. To this day this is the one RUclips death that still hurts.
I feel like it's nice to always have a form of charity available on this video, and unfortunately I'm not eligible for monetisation so I can't use RUclips's built-in fundraiser system, so I'll just add some charity links here for causes that seem appropriate for Etika.

God, I wish he'd have been around for Chapter 2. His reaction to Queen would have been amazing to see.
He would have been jamming too hard when hearing Spamton
True, plus berdly's theme was great too
His mind would've been blown with the introduction to cyber world
He would fall backwards on his chair if he heard "a cybers world!?"
Yeah
R.I.P Etika. If only I had discovered you sooner. 🙁
Same... I never had the chance to see his streams on live, but with this kind of videos I can see that he really loves videogames in general. R.I.P
Same, i never heard of him, only after his death.
Yep same here i even rewatch his Sonic Mania playthrough every so often.
Same too i always see him in reaction video so i got interested of his video search it but the channel is gone i was confused when that happen
You all missed a trip, my friends.
3:15 My man just ascended right on the spot
Just like everyone did
That took a dark meaning since his death.

@@primeoctober Yes there’s nothing toxic about the chat’s reaction when he was upset over killing Papyrus (not in this video but still)
I really hate that I'm only now seeing how bad it was, and I was even there for his streams.
his chat was toxic as hell ngl
There's also the excessive spamming and the countless requests for him to watch Jojo. Really gotta admire the patience he had.
Aw man the fact he missed the undertale 5th anniversary orchestra
yeah :(((
@Thor Wilhelms for Undertale’s 5th anniversary they did a concert of the soundtrack played by an orchestra. It’s amazing, I recommend checking it out if you haven’t already
The fact he missed the fucking sonic symphony too bro.....
HE MISSED SONIC FRONTIERS OST NOOOO

Man when sans got announced for smash he would've fainted
Imagine him listening to Fresh Jesus Christ-
He'd probably love the hell out of the soundtrack
imagine him reacting to gun's or stress especially UGH
Bro legit used to word "Cookin" and, with how much its being used today, my heart just skipped a beat, its like he was still with us for a second...
He had so much joy in his heart, I miss this fricking legend.

oh hey i saw your comment and i knew your name seemed familiar! i love your MJ Sonic remixes :) glad to hear you like the etika compilation!
