The birthday of the SiIvaGunner contributor R.L.99 was commemorated on the SiIvaGunner channel with a channel event in 2022.
Summary[]
On February 20, 2022, the @GiIvaSunner Twitter account announced that the channel would upload rips paying tribute to R.L.99's passing on February 21, the date of his birthday.[1]
Much like the National Go Fishing Day 2019 event, which paid tribute to deceased contributor Marrow, most rips uploaded on this day were of games that R.L.99 ripped frequently and/or was a fan of, such as MOTHER 3 and Plok. Several others were full arrangements of long, complex songs, a style of rip that R.L.99 was well-known for making.
Starting with "Pokey Means Business! (Extended Mix) - EarthBound", the rest of the rips for the event were posthumous rips by R.L.99, never uploaded to the channel before.[2] On February 22, the final rip of the event, "Showdown with the Ultimate Chimera - MOTHER 3", was premiered. After that, the channel took a break from uploading for a day, except for "Sweet Soul Brother (Beta Mix) - Jet Set Radio", which was uploaded on the evening of that day and unlisted after two minutes.
