Holy crap, my life

It's very rare that I post something on this tumbler, besides silly memes or things from @robocodias, but I figured I may as well start.

I used to be known as awesomemikerouniverse, but since I went with a new name change, I'm now going by EssenceFox. Kinda a pun on essence flux, a move that my main in league, Ezreal, has, and my favorite animal. Just before this massive change though, I was going through by far the toughest time in my life.

Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Major Depression, or as they liked to put it "Major depression episode without psychotic tendencies". In short, crazy depressed, but not crazy. It was hard. I thought waaaaay too much about everything, from reading too much into words my crush said to me, all the way to becoming crazy paranoid about different parts of my life. It was bad

Things started off ok, after going twords medication and therapy, but I didn't do much to start. Then I left for my attempted college days. Long story short, things got bad, and I was even thinking of suicide. If it wasn't for some of my friends, I'm not sure if I would even be here.

Fast forward to this year, it started to happen again. Medication wasn't working, and short term disability benefits took too long and ended up costing me my job. And on top of that, my favorite grandparent passed away during it too. Without the correct medication, I was super zoned out. Quite honestly, just ready to be done with life.

Thankfully, just like before, my friends were there to make sure I was ok when I wasn't. Kept me fighting and helped me pull through till a proper medical treatment change.

I'm doing a hell of a lot better than I was, but that doesn't mean I'm out of the clear yet.

I've been working on my YouTube channel "EssenceFox gaming" (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx5aCRFisnfE8KuHQUmnt7w), my twitch channel (twitch.tv/essencefox) and working at whatever job I can to help make ends meet.

While I may have a few jobs, money and things are still going to be tight for a while. I'm quite close to enough followers on twitch to become affiliated, and I have things lined up for many episodes on the YouTube account.

While sure, being able to finally get paid for these things is great, and would really help me, I do want a lot more followers for one reason only. I want to spread my story as far as I can. I want to let people know that depression is a major thing, should not be taken lightly, and that if you feel like somebody feels this way, to do what you can to help out. I've been planning on long streams with the sole purpose of streaming for charity, but I dont have the followers to really make the impact that I wanted.

I'll post more updates on here when I can, but until then feel free to follow whatever i have.

Also, shout out thanks to @robocodias ,@catnipmafia ,@shavingalmanac and many others that I dont know their tumbler usernames, because they are the ones who helped me through this.

Looking for anyone who knows animation that may be interested in working with me to create some animated intros for my YouTube channels?

Check out @akamikero’s Tweet:

“There is a copy of the NES game Golf in the firmware of every Switch system”

Me: Oh haha, what a weird thing, probably some remnant from the debugging process -

“Since that was a game that Satoru Iwata programmed himself, this could have been intended as a way of saying that Iwata is spiritually a part of every Switch and is watching over and protecting every system.”

Me:

[thisurlwasnttakenbutnowitis]

Oh my God, so hackers have found out the way to enable you to play the game. You know how?

On July 11th*, the date of Iwata’s passing, doing Iwata’s “directly to you” motion with the Joy-Cons on the home screen will play a sound clip of Iwata and launch the game.

(* Before you try this yourself, note that simply changing the date on your system will not work, as this runs off the Switch’s internal internet-synced clock, meaning that changing the date manually will only work if the system has never been connected to the internet)

I… I can’t…

[lunarhalo24]

It goes even further than that.

Firstly, opening the game like this person is in the video is only possible with a brand new unit on system version 1.0.0 that has never been connected to the Internet. Because of this, opening it is pretty hard to replicate, unless if you have a completely brand new Switch. So, even if the system’s internal date is on July 11, it still won’t open if the system version is up to date.

The thing is, it’s not supposed to be opened.

The hidden Golf game has been described as an omamori, which, in Japanese culture, is a charm usually bought at shrines that offers spiritual protection and good luck if you keep it close to you. Sometimes they’re made of cloth, and look like a tiny bag, which can contain a written prayer. People often tie them to something like a purse or a backpack, so that it’s always with them. Here are a bunch of different ones:

Omamori are not supposed to be opened, as doing so is said to remove its blessing.

Seeing as the hidden Golf game on the Switch is so difficult to run under normal circumstances, it’s probably not supposed to be opened in the first place. It’s likely meant to represent an omamori in Iwata’s honor. Its very fitting, because of how portable the Switch is, since people are likely to take it with them like they would with an omamori strapped to a purse or backpack.

You are better than you think!

Have you ever been in a game where someone tells you that you're doing it wrong? That makes you feel like you're not as good at a role than you think? That tells you "you should be here," or "do this?" Than remember this... I was told in season 1 that Ezreal was the worst ADC in the game. Season one. The same season that the meta became an ADC trifecta of Ezreal, Graves and Corki. The same season that ended up removing the attack speed slow that he had. I was told that I was a trash ADC literal 3 mins before I got a pentakill, with just myself and my support. This game is not set in stone. People have good games, people have bad games, and people even have lives outside of league. Just because I'm silver at the moment, doesn't mean that I have no idea what I'm doing. Maybe i have a hard time climbing because I'm working a full time job while saving lives that are close to me. Somebody had to be laughed at for trying gunblade LeBlanc, somebody yelled at for trying blue Ezreal before it was crazy, and somebody somewhere mains Urgot, on purpose! There are 86400 secs in a day. Don't let 10 of them ruin your whole day! (~919 Karthus ultimates per day)
