RTX tip: BRING SHARPIES. BRING BLACK SHARPIES (or a color of your choice) /AND/ METALLIC SHARPIES!!! usually staff has sharpies on them, but if you run into one outside of a signing and they don’t have a sharpie on it’d be nice to just whip one out for them to use. ESPECIALLY METALLIC SHARPIES. they don’t always have metallic sharpies even when they have sharpies. so anything dark that needs to get signed, there’s a chance you won’t be able to see the signature that well.
I honestly hate how art and media have kind of romanticized the idea of like “going off your meds and being your true self again” because like I started taking antidepressants and like immediately got a new job, found a place to live, improved my relationships with people in my life and completely reconciled with my sort of estranged ex-girlfriend?? Medication can be rad and while I realize that it’s not for everybody I don’t think anything should be trying to convince anyone that being on medication inherently makes you less of who you are
(Most) Medication is for helping you to be you again. The real me isn’t tired by just walking to the train station. The real me is not my anxiety or depression. They don’t define me.
The real me is who I am when I’m not anxious and feeling worthless 24/7.
Medication is supposed to be the chemical equivalent of glasses or a wheelchair, depending on the severity of impairment. It tries to help you compensate for what has been taken, been broken, or is missing.
In particular, i always hear the myth that anti-depressants give you “artificial happiness”… no, no, no. They give your brain the ability to be happy. You won’t always be happy, and sometimes you’ll be sad. But the happiness you’re able to feel when you’re on meds is your own, real, happiness.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE NEUROTYPICALS IN THE BACK!!!
Facts everyone needs to know about Iwata:
- He saved HAL Laboratories from going down under and was a key to Kirby’s creation as a series.
- He reprogrammed the entire Mother 2 / Earthbound game in less than six months. He’s the reason it exists.
- The last game he engineered was Super Smash Bros. Melee.. out of necessity. He re-coded that as well so it would meet its November 2001 release.
- He cut his salary in half to keep Nintendo afloat rather than cut positions at the bottom.
- He gave the speech titled “Heart of a Gamer” in 2005, a key time before the Wii’s release, which shocked the world in the following generation.
- Designer first, executive second. One of the few, if not, the first and only president of a major gaming company who was a designer first and foremost.
- He was the fourth President of Nintendo and the first not by blood relation to get the honors due to his previous years of leadership.
- Iwata believed in open communication with the fans and the press. He believed in sharing his and other developers’ passion for video game design. Thus, he created a series called, “Iwata Asks.”
Overall, as president, he has helped carry Nintendo into the new millennium. He brought in the most memorable public face of gaming known as Reginald Fils-Aime, he orchestrated one of Nintendo’s finest, most shocking years in popular culture since the NES with the Wii, and shouldered the burden and took full responsibility of both the GameCube and the Wii U financially. A man with this much business savvy, personality, passion, and unselfishness… will surely, surely be missed in the gaming realm.
“Even if we come from different sides of the world, speak different languages, even if we eat too many chips or rice balls, even if we have different tastes in games, every one of us here today is identical in the most important way: each one of us has the heart of a gamer.” – Satoru Iwata, Heart of a Gamer
