An earlier version of this theme was posted (and got a lot of attention), but this is the final version to properly get MySpace back and in a form you already like using. There was a previous version that wasn’t very in depth, which sent me on the mission to make a perfect one.
Customizeable! While you can’t import the code of an old MySpace theme, you can adjust your colors and background (including dimensions) all you want to make your own.
Asks have been reformatted to look like a MySpace comment. Example:
MySpace Comment (from 2007):
An ask being displayed on this Tumblr theme:
Fill out your profile information just like original MySpace. Includes headline, mood, interests and more.
Music player. Paste any direct .mp3 link into the “profile song” field and it will be playable in your music player on the left. (mp3s can be searched for here.)
Functional search bar in MySpace header. Will search the tags of your blog.
HTML enabled, meaning you can add all the obnoxious glittertext and other glorious stuff you want.
There you have it. MySpace has been fully restored in the form of a Tumblr theme. I hope you all enjoy it.
“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.”
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…
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.
