    He's now gone. These reactions, these happy emotions, I miss him. I'll fucking miss him. He's dead now..I don't know what to say, but rest in peace. The only things I can say is that, he was one of the people I loved watching. His streams, his reactions, everything about him is what I love about him. Sure, he seemed like he was going crazy over the past few months, but in the end, he was still a human being like us. He's the best and nicest person you can meet too.
    But, now..He's gone. He's up there, somewhere....
    *Rest In Peace, Desmond Amofah.*

    I 100%ed Sonic mania with all characters meaning all 7 emeralds on each save file with different characters. I play this game at least once a year on my switch because it's just such a solid and awesome Sonic game, but each time I boot it up I am immediately reminded of Etika. A bittersweet feeling. Still miss him

  • @FFGAir

    Ill miss Etika so much. Reactions, Streams, Directs, E3, none of it will be the same without him. Ill miss my favorite UA-camr, someone I never met but still felt like I knew, Desmond.
    Im happy at least that we can still watch the content he once made. I dont want to be sad when I watch this content I want to be happy like I was when I first watched this live.
    R.I.P my brother. You'll be missed so very dearly by me and many many others.

    Do you know that feeling when you see someone who’s not longer with us and just can’t comprehend it? I can’t believe that he’s not here anymore because he seems so full of live and joy in this video and just vibing to this awesome soundtrack. I never watched him that much or often but still this is unreal to me.

    I didn’t watch etika too often but every now and then I would tune into his streams and he was just so full of energy. He was such a positive energetic guy and I would never get bored when I was watching his streams. It really hurts to see him gone, this just shows what a massive influence social media can have on people. He was so young too he had such a bright future ahead of him.
