Emile is a LP legend. No matter how much YT has changed over the years, he stayed the same. Never followed trends, never "sold out". He kept doing the same content he always loved, and that's incredibly admirable.
And his viewerbase pays him back in kind, as we've seen with the hiatus. Many channels out there would collapse if they went absent for so long, but not this one, and that's because this man has built up his following through sheer passion and willpower, and the people respect him for it.
One thing I love about Chugga is that he does not refer to his subscribers as "fans". He calls them "viewers" which I personally feel is a much more representative and humble word to be using. Sure, there are fans among the viewers, but not every viewer is a fanatic.
Exactly cause not "every" Subscriber or viewer will love all your stuff or some. It's very specific usually then what they want to see versus what you want to do. That most others may like to see or may not like to see. An it really just depends on the kind of audience and fan base you want. So it really just depends on that an what kind of content is best for you an viewers that watch you. An the fact it is nice doing always something different with tour content that you make. That way you have the opportunity to give almost all viewers what they'd like to see an kind of content that they will like. Or could always look elsewhere if it's not for you. An just move on to another channel that does seek your interest.
I used that same mentality because I feel I'm never above the ppl that watch my content, we all play games, we all watch ppl play games, we're all the same pretty much.
@@ColtonMiller6012 true but he has been on CZcams for 10 years, and in every video he puts blood, sweat, and tears into it, and all his videos are very informative and top quality. He is far better than the likes of Fred, the Paul bros, T-series, watchmojo, and I'd argue even Pewdiepie
I remember back when Emile was sick and he made the update video saying his condition was really bad and he wasn’t sure if he was gonna get better, I cried so much. Chuggaaconroy has been the driving force that keeps me playing video games, and seeing him sick and almost dying and for him being such a big influence on my life, I couldn’t help but cry for the fact that he was dying.
My favorite and first let’s play of his ice watched it Pokémon xd gale of darkness I’ve watched like seven time and he’s actually the guy that made me okay with video gam commentary cuz I remover I used to hate commentary but something about hearing someone else’s opinion and methods and memories with one of my favorite games and a young girl really made me like plus his story in there about his friends Voltaire was sad and touching
i remember that when Chugga got sick it was right after the cliffhanger on Prison Island in Xenoblade. I was so anxious that within a week i had bought my own copy on the Wii, played up to that point, and by the time Chugga was back for regular uploads, i had beaten the game and was doing ng+.

Joseph France Sorry for replying to a topic that was posted a year ago, but I imagine Chugga would be very happy that even though he was in pain, he was able to bring joy to at least one person.

SilverWolfGamer yea me too I always love the moments in his lps he brings up little tidbits of his personal life it’s nice cuz he’s the type of guy I wanna get to know cuz imma be honest there’s a lot of CZcamsrs where I like there aesthetic and there craft but I don’t really care about there personal life but there’s a choice few where I wanna know them as people.
This was probably the scariest illness I’ve ever heard of and I’m just really happy it’s all over because who knows what could have happened if it got worse
When he posted about this on his Twitter and Facebook I was so worried about him. I kept watching his past videos and would comment on his Facebook when I saw an update. When he seemed better, it was a relief, since his health means a lot to me. I've never met Emile. I want to someday, but his health is more important then new videos.
There's not one CZcamsr i respect more then chugga. He's the same person he was when he played earthbound over 10 years ago. He hasn't changed he's still the same person was at the start he will till the end. Chugga has his own charm to his channel. No overused memes or trends.
I didn't watch his Xenoblade run, so I had no clue that this happened, but my god he is a hella humble and modest guy. People were seriously complaining about him being away though? When you're sick like that, you have to put everything but your health on the backend. You can't do what you love if you aren't well enough to do it. Emile, if you ever see this, please know that you're an awesome guy and we, as the viewers, appreciate you for all you have done.
Part of that was due to the fact that TRG was updating at the normal pace during this time and Emile appearing in each video, a group of these people, not realizing how far in advance TRG prerecords stuff due to how far apart they all live, believed he was lying about his illness because he was "making videos for TRG and not his own channel as well."
I remember when I was a kid he would help me with super paper Mario. My Wii doesn't work anymore. But I'd always wait for him to upload because I couldn't do the puzzles by myself. Thank you truly Chuggaconroy. 😪 P.S Sorry for anyone who doesn't care about my life story. 😅😅😅😅😅
At least Emile respects his viewers, most youtubers wouldn’t care about how their viewers feel when they go but he does care, he’s very honest and lovely towards the people that also respect him Just another reason why he is the best youtuber
I was only 10 or so when this happened, and I remember multiple nights that I would just cry because I was so worried. It's crazy to me that it's been so long since he got better, because I still remember so vividly worrying about the health of someone I didn't know.
Chugga seriously has one of the most faithful and loyal fan bases out of any CZcamsr. I’ve been watching since all the way back at Fire Red, and I still watch to this day.
I just want to hug him, so much. But I may or may not not want to let go for a non socially acceptable amount of time. Hugs are a good thing. Chugga has been a solid in a crazy world. He’s always just been him, hearing his beginning greet is always lovely. He’s golden, humble, and for him I want nothing but the best the world can offer he’s so underrated. I watch his videos for comfort... and I also rewatch them a lot. :p
When Emile went on that hiatus during his Xenoblade LP, i decided that i would watch all the previous episodes from Ep.1 and kept repeating it until he came back. Im being serious! I was actually going through a bad time myself since i had a bad case of depression. This is why i was watching him cus his puns/jokes are the cure to depression. XD
I hate the fact how underrated this guy is. 1 million subs is not anything to scoff at, but this dude has been making let’s plays on what he loves and purely what he loves for a decade or so. And on a site such as CZcams, that is very commendable.
If you watch StephenVlog when he went to hospital he described his experience similar to Emiles. Sounds like at the very least the Carolinas and Georgia have doctors who give rrally bad advice
@@diane3982 and yet nearly every European and most Asian countries have free or very little health costs. Obama had the chance, Trump won't... I just hope your next President sees the light
+Amazingly Awkward ...and with “free” health care comes a sharp drop in quality, extremely long wait times that can last for months, overcrowded hospitals, premature discharges, under paid yet over burdened doctors, and a system that is completely controlled by the government, which has led to the death of an infant in the UK who probably could’ve been saved in the US if the EU didn’t order for the child to die.
I feel the pain of the ear infections. Had em constantly as a child. Didn't get another one until highschool. Woke up feeling like I had gotten shot in the ear. It didn't go away for 3 days, but I never had to seek medical help for it. Emile, you are a trooper my dude
Emile expresses thankfulness for the his viewers staying with him for those months of downtime. I think he's got himself to thank for that as well. His channel may not have the most immense subscriber count on CZcams and he may not run around with over-the-top commentary and all-caps or controversial video titles that draw in attention, but it's thanks to his genuine passion and impressive work ethic and endearing quirks that his following is loyal to where few can match. I firmly believe a channel's viewer base reflects the channel, and I think this speaks volumes of who Emile is and what's he's accomplished. Serious respect for the guy.
I remember when this happened during his hiatus I found a copy of Xenoblade at my local game stop so that definitely kept my interest besides the fact that I love this channel
Old comment here but chugga and his plethora of gaming series he’s done, the runaway guys have kept my love of games going strong for so long and they’re still a driving force for me lol but honestly compared to big names out there he’s extremely underrated and overall so genuinely brilliant I don’t think l’ve actually given him the credit he deserves! Keep going strong Emilie ♥️
I get the feeling it wouldn't be as happy as everyone thinks it'd be. Emile's been through a lot, it amazes me how he's still so upbeat after everything.
I remember coming home every day from school in that 2 months of primary school and checking off Chugga had uploaded the next episode. It was only when I went away for a school camp for 5 days that he uploaded and I cried in joy and watched them with popcorn and my dog because I wanted it to be an amazing experience and it was
Tbh i did stop watching xenoblade when he hot sick. By the time he came back. I had move onto watching other shows. But i kept subscribed, watching the serie continue until i saw that the last ep has been released. Then i got really excited for the next lets play series
I also had to admit I also stopped watching ( I wasn’t into the series as much and I didn’t hear he was getting sick once I heard of this I bindged the entire series on his behalf.
I remember watching Xenoblade chronicles let's play back in 2014, and I was worried upon hearing about Chuggaaconroy and his illness. Emile, I'd say you're lucky to have a supportive fan base, but let's be honest here, you have a supportive fan base because of the way you operate.
An upper respiratory infection from an ear infection?.... Interesting. There is a small connection between the inner ear and the upper respiratory tract through the Eustachian tube.... although it is usually closed. Can’t say I’ve heard of something like that before.
Also, if it was a bacterial infection, it would technically be possible to take ear wax from the healthy ear and put it in the infected ear, and it could wipe out the infection. Since we always have bacteria on us, we have evolved to have a balance with many bacteria, such as in the gut or ear. It’s possible to stop a bacterial infection by taking healthy bacteria from a similar setting, the other ear, and putting it in the infected area. The invading bacteria could then be wiped out and replaced with normal bacteria. Of course it could also fail, and since this was a viral infection I’m not sure if it would have worked. Just an interesting bit of trivia.
Emile is a hypochondriac, im sure of it. any little cough or sniffle and hes not uploading for the rest of the month. i mean, yeah, sometimes you get sick with something serious, and it could take months to recover, but he gets it multiple times a year. its not normal.
When my mom gets allergies or feels sick, her inner ear itches when it's really her sinuses. All that stuff inside is closely linked so if one thing gets inflamed it can push on other stuff. He might've had the beginnings of a sinus infection (That will make the inside of the ears itch too, had that happen myself) and depending on how bad it is, it can definitely travel down.
@@steveh1474 He mostly gets them right after a convention, though, which makes a degree of sense; he's been pretty sheltered most of his life, so coming into contact with diseases he has no resistance to would have exaggerated results. Why he's not taking more precautions about this, I couldn't tell you.
Speaking as someone who's had to take care of a mother who's immune system is almost non-existent due to chemotherapy (she did win her battle with cancer, but for some reason her immune system just isn't recovering at all), it is REALLY difficult to keep from getting sick in that circumstance if you go out in public. If mom wasn't the only person in the household that is able to drive, she'd be staying home pretty much all the time - just a trip inside a grocery store a few months back resulted in her catching a mild cold that within 48 hours grew to be a serious case of pneumonia that left her hospitalized. So she has to stay in the car while I go and do the shopping, and even then we have anti-bacterial wipes in the car that I have to use to wipe my hands with before I get in the car. With Emile apparently not having much in the way of a strong immune system, traveling as much as he does it isn't surprising at all that he gets sick so often - there's only so much you can do precaution wise while still going out to conventions and the like, and sometimes even that isn't enough.
I've gone through so many phases of content that I watch on CZcams but one consistent person that I could watch anytime is chugga, I've probably been watching him since I was 8, started 11 years ago. I kind of grew up on these early let's players like slim kirby, nintendocaprisun, protonjon. Hope chuggaa doesnt have to go through something like this again
I know what Emile means when talking about long term illness, in 2014, i was diagnosed of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and being in the hospital on meds all the time truly is a monotonous and dreadful process. While I was surely getting good care, that doesn’t change the fact that it wasn’t happy. A lot of the time I was just in my room alone doing things one day at a time and as you do these things the days just kind of begin to blur. And one time I had a throat infection that got really bad while I was still on chemo and just being on so many drugs and steroids and antibiotics. Not to mention that this RSV-throat infection thing had me growing sores over my lips making me unable to talk it really is one of the lowest periods of my life. While I knew I was gonna get out of it, it was just the fact that in that moment, everything I was used to was so much harder to do. So I think Emile has a really good way of thinking on terms of this, cause it’s true, you really just can’t get anything done and it’s really demotivating.
This is educational though... it teaches people to not trust their doctors every time and to get multiple check ups from certified doctors. I guess....
Emile our little CZcams angel I was so worried for him when he got sick during that time. A lot of us was worried poor guy was really down and sick. I hope he gets well and stays healthy.
I've been watching his stuff for so long, he inspired me to start playing animal crossing and to just generally play more video games. He's one of my all time favourite youtubers I appreciate him a lot
Chuggaaconroy is one of the greatest content creators ever. Been watching him from his very first Paper Mario playthrough and honestly, he just makes me feel so much happier. His videos genuinely cure my depression even on my worst days. He's just incredible.
Wow, I’ve had a surprisingly similar experience. It began in December 2017, I managed to catch both the flu, a sore throat, an unknown flu-like illness, and a completely unidentified viral infection. All at the same time. It was unidentified for a while, but then it triggered both Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Bell’s Palsy, and I got rushed to the hospital as my mum thought I was having a stroke. 3 days in hospital later, I was allowed to go home, and then 4 weeks of antibiotics and steroids later I was done with the main infections. 3 months of weekly blood tests later I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and my Bell’s Palsy was identified as an incredibly rare form which had different effects on different parts of my face. I got over it for a while, but now it’s back, however it’s a minor inconvenience mostly. The CFS is much worse, and varies greatly, between making me more tired than normal with minor muscle fatigue and making me unable to walk more than a few steps without collapsing, while sleeping 20-22 hours a day. It until took 6 months after the initial onset and hospital stay for it to become manageable, there were at least 2 months where I couldn’t leave the house at all, aside from hospital visits for blood tests which would nearly kill me some days, and I had to spend the rest of the year on a part time school schedule. Luckily, I live in the UK. If I didn’t, my family would be in debt for the rest of my life just to pay off the amount of blood tests. The combined value of my house and all my possessions is less than if would’ve costed to pay for the appointments. I can’t imagine how bad a health problem like that would be for an American like you.
I remember at the time when he announced that on Facebook that he had that illness, a lot of people and I was worried that he might not fully recover. He truly is amazing when he came back still spiritually as ever
I actually remember that. I fell in love with Xenoblade when watching his playthrough of it and it helped releive the stress I had for moving across the country. I found his channel and started binging until when he was on hiatus. Ever since i have watched his playthroughs.
I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 and I discovered your channel through xenoblade chronicles and wow your play through of that game blew me away on how hard you worked and since then been a big fan and a friend you never met lol
I don't like the hiatuses because it's incredibly common for people to get sick or have some serious illnesses. I'm glad that he's willing or wants to see what his fans are but I'm really concerned about Chuggaa's health or anyone's health when they go to a con. Seriously, does no one wash their hands at these things?
My favorite youtuber, and the most underrated one. I've been watching his videos since his sunshine playthrough, can't believe that was over a decade ago.
How everyone was still there after he was gone for those 2 months proves just how much support he really does have. Some youtubers have much more subscribers than him, but they can go on a hiatus like he did and many can lose interest. It wasn't like that for Emile, however.
Chugga’s xenoblade LP is probably one of the greatest creations on CZcams. The the amount of detail and work was incredible while STILL making an enjoyable let’s play commentary and also pointing out cool details and Easter eggs. That’s how I got introduced to the series and nothing can match the first time I watched that games story it was incredible
Emile is just such an angel. He’s literally the only CZcamsr I’m subscribed to that I will watch any video he uploads. Even if it’s a game I don’t like it plan on buying to play, I could watch him play anything and find it enjoyable. I wish he had a better immune system because he doesn’t deserve any illness.
Jesus I can't imagine how bad that was. Even a fungus outer ear infection I had for a few weeks which was one of the most painful things I felt would pale in comparison. Chugga's strong and the best.
His Pikmin and Pikmin 2 LPs were cornerstones of my childhood and have very fond memories of watching them. I was very sad to hear that he was going through this at a time I didn't even know it was happening. I wish I could have wished him a quick recovery at the time but I was in 4th grade and didn't understand what insurance or ear infections were. Chuggaconroy is one of my favorite CZcamsrs, and I feel about him the same way I feel about Markiplier, in that he has gone through many hardships but always maintains positivity and is able to cultivate that positivity in his viewers.
Dang.... Man Chugga you suffered regardless glad you still well and much please take very good care of yourself you have become a part of my life in youtube to which i enjoy your contents gameplays let's plays and bit of times puns. If ever sick please put yourself up first priority and make videos later date till your all good in health always.
@Ghost_ Slaayer 1) I know what your analogy is a parody of and that fails because it assumes that we aren't social creatures, because as it turns out we are and we are able to not just do this, we are able to not have infighting like this. The only reason why this isn't the case is due to hoarders. 2) corporate taxes aren't high, and personal taxes are lower than they were before, it's just income has been stagnant for decades and corporations haven't had to pay their taxes because of loopholes.
It was 2014 when he did for to the 2nd to final area of Xenoblade Chronicles. I remember that we were all scared and prayed that he would fight it, to be around longer or even to hear his puns. I prayed cause he is like a brother that is very funny with puns. I prayed cause I don't want to lose the best CZcamsr. He inspired me to live in my game days if Ōkami and Pokemon even Pikmin.
I was scared when he didn’t upload for 2 months. I was wondering what happen to my favorite youtuber and so relieved when he came back. That’s why when he retires, I’ll give the biggest salute to this man.
I love that Emile is so dedicated that he doesn't willingly take breaks, but also that we as a fanbase are actively telling him to take breaks. He really has formed a community.
Our health care system, everybody...jesus christ. I guarantee you that doctor gave you the wrong medical advice because you were uninsured at the time. I've had quite a few friends of mine have the same issue where one of them just didn't have health insurance, and the doctors would give her wrong/misleading diagnostics. It's horrible. I feel so bad for people who live in America that have to deal with that system all of the time.
I distinctly remember people in Chugga's community came together during this difficult time to support him in any way possible. At the time I did not have any money to give him, but for people like me, we decided that we'd find one of his Let's Plays and binge watch all the videos in the playlist while watching all the ads to the full length (within reason, as this was during the time YT had hour-long ads) to send as much ad revenue to him as possible. For me, I chose to watch his LP of Majora's Mask, a game I had no interest in at the time, but it was of decent length and looked at least mildly entertaining (someone else I knew chose Okami, ouch). But by the end of watching his series, I had become a fan of that game, and I picked up Majora's Mask 3D soon after to play it for myself. Even while very sick, Chugga showed me a great new game for me to play that I ended up loving so much. Thank you so much, Chugga!
Emile is a LP legend. No matter how much YT has changed over the years, he stayed the same. Never followed trends, never "sold out". He kept doing the same content he always loved, and that's incredibly admirable.
Even better: he did it successfully.
It is for that reason that he is my overall favorite CZcamsr

Constellationillustrations Emile is one of these people, because even though you know nothing about him he’s so kind and lovable you really want to.
I was following Chugga’s Twitter when this happened so I was able to see him keep us updated. Ughhh. Poor guy.
This was probably the scariest illness I’ve ever heard of and I’m just really happy it’s all over because who knows what could have happened if it got worse

When you're sick like that, you have to put everything but your health on the backend. You can't do what you love if you aren't well enough to do it. Emile, if you ever see this, please know that you're an awesome guy and we, as the viewers, appreciate you for all you have done.
Part of that was due to the fact that TRG was updating at the normal pace during this time and Emile appearing in each video, a group of these people, not realizing how far in advance TRG prerecords stuff due to how far apart they all live, believed he was lying about his illness because he was "making videos for TRG and not his own channel as well."
Warrior of Fire I didn’t see any of that. Thankfully most of his fanbase is incredibly non-toxic.
I remember when I was a kid he would help me with super paper Mario. My Wii doesn't work anymore. But I'd always wait for him to upload because I couldn't do the puzzles by myself. Thank you truly Chuggaconroy. 😪 P.S Sorry for anyone who doesn't care about my life story. 😅😅😅😅😅
At least Emile respects his viewers, most youtubers wouldn’t care about how their viewers feel when they go but he does care, he’s very honest and lovely towards the people that also respect him
Just another reason why he is the best youtuber
Chugga is like an older brother to me he always cheered me up when I was depressed and he makes me laugh
I was only 10 or so when this happened, and I remember multiple nights that I would just cry because I was so worried. It's crazy to me that it's been so long since he got better, because I still remember so vividly worrying about the health of someone I didn't know.
I couldn't take the flu
Much less an ear infection
What a trooper 😌
HE SAID THE WORD.
you mean steve
just like steve
Ear infections suck. I haven't had one get that bad, but they still are an annoying thing to go through
STEEB THE DROOPER
Chugga seriously has one of the most faithful and loyal fan bases out of any CZcamsr. I’ve been watching since all the way back at Fire Red, and I still watch to this day.
If there's one CZcamsr I want to hug more than anything, it's Chugga.
I just want to hug him, so much. But I may or may not not want to let go for a non socially acceptable amount of time. Hugs are a good thing.
Chugga has been a solid in a crazy world.
He’s always just been him, hearing his beginning greet is always lovely.
He’s golden, humble, and for him I want nothing but the best the world can offer he’s so underrated.
I watch his videos for comfort... and I also rewatch them a lot. :p
Literal childhood hero, i would always check his channel everyday as a kid to see if he uploaded
When Emile went on that hiatus during his Xenoblade LP, i decided that i would watch all the previous episodes from Ep.1 and kept repeating it until he came back. Im being serious! I was actually going through a bad time myself since i had a bad case of depression. This is why i was watching him cus his puns/jokes are the cure to depression. XD

His videos also helped me through a similar experience, but for me it was during his Pokémon platinum playthrough
Lord Fishron Was it cus you kept getting defeated by random terrarians? (Im making a pun on your profile name, no offense.)
Unlimated_Luck 1
Probably XP
I hate the fact how underrated this guy is. 1 million subs is not anything to scoff at, but this dude has been making let’s plays on what he loves and purely what he loves for a decade or so. And on a site such as CZcams, that is very commendable.
That sucks. :( (Also, now I get why the only political comments I've ever heard Emile make are about the lack of free health care in the US.)
If you watch StephenVlog when he went to hospital he described his experience similar to Emiles. Sounds like at the very least the Carolinas and Georgia have doctors who give rrally bad advice
Health care/insurance is disgusting in the US. I have epilepsy, and it costs 6,000 for 90 days for pills w/o insurance. -_-
@@diane3982 and yet nearly every European and most Asian countries have free or very little health costs. Obama had the chance, Trump won't... I just hope your next President sees the light
@@diane3982 Then you should try to look for a good health insurance plan. If you can
+Amazingly Awkward
...and with “free” health care comes a sharp drop in quality, extremely long wait times that can last for months, overcrowded hospitals, premature discharges, under paid yet over burdened doctors, and a system that is completely controlled by the government, which has led to the death of an infant in the UK who probably could’ve been saved in the US if the EU didn’t order for the child to die.
I feel the pain of the ear infections. Had em constantly as a child. Didn't get another one until highschool. Woke up feeling like I had gotten shot in the ear. It didn't go away for 3 days, but I never had to seek medical help for it. Emile, you are a trooper my dude
Emile expresses thankfulness for the his viewers staying with him for those months of downtime. I think he's got himself to thank for that as well. His channel may not have the most immense subscriber count on CZcams and he may not run around with over-the-top commentary and all-caps or controversial video titles that draw in attention, but it's thanks to his genuine passion and impressive work ethic and endearing quirks that his following is loyal to where few can match.
I firmly believe a channel's viewer base reflects the channel, and I think this speaks volumes of who Emile is and what's he's accomplished. Serious respect for the guy.
This brings back horrible memories. I’m glad I have closure on what happened during that break.
F
I remember when this happened during his hiatus I found a copy of Xenoblade at my local game stop so that definitely kept my interest besides the fact that I love this channel
Old comment here but chugga and his plethora of gaming series he’s done, the runaway guys have kept my love of games going strong for so long and they’re still a driving force for me lol but honestly compared to big names out there he’s extremely underrated and overall so genuinely brilliant I don’t think l’ve actually given him the credit he deserves! Keep going strong Emilie ♥️
EMILE NEEDS HUGS GIVE HIM HUGS
*hugs*
Oh a terraria fan
Wasn’t expecting that
Ok can we have a chugga draw my life?
preach
Chuggaaconroy uses game footage to represent his life at 5M Subscibers!
I get the feeling it wouldn't be as happy as everyone thinks it'd be. Emile's been through a lot, it amazes me how he's still so upbeat after everything.
Vinny Emile is On the same level as Bob Ross when it comes to friendliness and kindness
I remember coming home every day from school in that 2 months of primary school and checking off Chugga had uploaded the next episode. It was only when I went away for a school camp for 5 days that he uploaded and I cried in joy and watched them with popcorn and my dog because I wanted it to be an amazing experience and it was
Tbh i did stop watching xenoblade when he hot sick. By the time he came back. I had move onto watching other shows. But i kept subscribed, watching the serie continue until i saw that the last ep has been released. Then i got really excited for the next lets play series
I also had to admit I also stopped watching ( I wasn’t into the series as much and I didn’t hear he was getting sick once I heard of this I bindged the entire series on his behalf.
You should go back and finish it. Really. It’s worth it.
I remember watching Xenoblade chronicles let's play back in 2014, and I was worried upon hearing about Chuggaaconroy and his illness. Emile, I'd say you're lucky to have a supportive fan base, but let's be honest here, you have a supportive fan base because of the way you operate.
An upper respiratory infection from an ear infection?.... Interesting. There is a small connection between the inner ear and the upper respiratory tract through the Eustachian tube.... although it is usually closed. Can’t say I’ve heard of something like that before.
Also, if it was a bacterial infection, it would technically be possible to take ear wax from the healthy ear and put it in the infected ear, and it could wipe out the infection. Since we always have bacteria on us, we have evolved to have a balance with many bacteria, such as in the gut or ear. It’s possible to stop a bacterial infection by taking healthy bacteria from a similar setting, the other ear, and putting it in the infected area. The invading bacteria could then be wiped out and replaced with normal bacteria. Of course it could also fail, and since this was a viral infection I’m not sure if it would have worked. Just an interesting bit of trivia.
Emile is a hypochondriac, im sure of it. any little cough or sniffle and hes not uploading for the rest of the month.
i mean, yeah, sometimes you get sick with something serious, and it could take months to recover, but he gets it multiple times a year. its not normal.
When my mom gets allergies or feels sick, her inner ear itches when it's really her sinuses. All that stuff inside is closely linked so if one thing gets inflamed it can push on other stuff. He might've had the beginnings of a sinus infection (That will make the inside of the ears itch too, had that happen myself) and depending on how bad it is, it can definitely travel down.
@@steveh1474 He mostly gets them right after a convention, though, which makes a degree of sense; he's been pretty sheltered most of his life, so coming into contact with diseases he has no resistance to would have exaggerated results.
Why he's not taking more precautions about this, I couldn't tell you.
Speaking as someone who's had to take care of a mother who's immune system is almost non-existent due to chemotherapy (she did win her battle with cancer, but for some reason her immune system just isn't recovering at all), it is REALLY difficult to keep from getting sick in that circumstance if you go out in public.
If mom wasn't the only person in the household that is able to drive, she'd be staying home pretty much all the time - just a trip inside a grocery store a few months back resulted in her catching a mild cold that within 48 hours grew to be a serious case of pneumonia that left her hospitalized. So she has to stay in the car while I go and do the shopping, and even then we have anti-bacterial wipes in the car that I have to use to wipe my hands with before I get in the car.
With Emile apparently not having much in the way of a strong immune system, traveling as much as he does it isn't surprising at all that he gets sick so often - there's only so much you can do precaution wise while still going out to conventions and the like, and sometimes even that isn't enough.
Chuggaaconroy has his own Wikipedia page. IMPRESIVE. Nice going Emiliano you earned yourself a wiki page
CHUGGAACONROY NEEDS A HUGGAACONROY!!!!!
I've gone through so many phases of content that I watch on CZcams but one consistent person that I could watch anytime is chugga, I've probably been watching him since I was 8, started 11 years ago. I kind of grew up on these early let's players like slim kirby, nintendocaprisun, protonjon. Hope chuggaa doesnt have to go through something like this again
I highly recommend watching LaughingBoyLP’s Chugga series. I learned so much about Emile through it.
I know what Emile means when talking about long term illness, in 2014, i was diagnosed of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and being in the hospital on meds all the time truly is a monotonous and dreadful process. While I was surely getting good care, that doesn’t change the fact that it wasn’t happy. A lot of the time I was just in my room alone doing things one day at a time and as you do these things the days just kind of begin to blur. And one time I had a throat infection that got really bad while I was still on chemo and just being on so many drugs and steroids and antibiotics. Not to mention that this RSV-throat infection thing had me growing sores over my lips making me unable to talk it really is one of the lowest periods of my life. While I knew I was gonna get out of it, it was just the fact that in that moment, everything I was used to was so much harder to do. So I think Emile has a really good way of thinking on terms of this, cause it’s true, you really just can’t get anything done and it’s really demotivating.
All right, time for my Test - new ChuggaCompletion video? Pfft, who needs an education?
Me rn
This is educational though... it teaches people to not trust their doctors every time and to get multiple check ups from certified doctors. I guess....
Emile our little CZcams angel
I was so worried for him when he got sick during that time. A lot of us was worried poor guy was really down and sick. I hope he gets well and stays healthy.
I've been watching his stuff for so long, he inspired me to start playing animal crossing and to just generally play more video games. He's one of my all time favourite youtubers I appreciate him a lot
Chuggaaconroy is one of the greatest content creators ever. Been watching him from his very first Paper Mario playthrough and honestly, he just makes me feel so much happier. His videos genuinely cure my depression even on my worst days. He's just incredible.
This young man is really amazing, he handles both his own channel, TRG and more
I hope Emile has read some of these top comments, it’s really nice to see non toxic CZcams comments about a CZcamsr
Such a dedicated man. Wish he had more subcribers and viewers, because he deserves it!
Wow, I’ve had a surprisingly similar experience. It began in December 2017, I managed to catch both the flu, a sore throat, an unknown flu-like illness, and a completely unidentified viral infection. All at the same time. It was unidentified for a while, but then it triggered both Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Bell’s Palsy, and I got rushed to the hospital as my mum thought I was having a stroke. 3 days in hospital later, I was allowed to go home, and then 4 weeks of antibiotics and steroids later I was done with the main infections. 3 months of weekly blood tests later I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and my Bell’s Palsy was identified as an incredibly rare form which had different effects on different parts of my face. I got over it for a while, but now it’s back, however it’s a minor inconvenience mostly. The CFS is much worse, and varies greatly, between making me more tired than normal with minor muscle fatigue and making me unable to walk more than a few steps without collapsing, while sleeping 20-22 hours a day. It until took 6 months after the initial onset and hospital stay for it to become manageable, there were at least 2 months where I couldn’t leave the house at all, aside from hospital visits for blood tests which would nearly kill me some days, and I had to spend the rest of the year on a part time school schedule.
Luckily, I live in the UK. If I didn’t, my family would be in debt for the rest of my life just to pay off the amount of blood tests. The combined value of my house and all my possessions is less than if would’ve costed to pay for the appointments. I can’t imagine how bad a health problem like that would be for an American like you.
I remember at the time when he announced that on Facebook that he had that illness, a lot of people and I was worried that he might not fully recover. He truly is amazing when he came back still spiritually as ever
Emile is a really inspiring person
I actually remember that. I fell in love with Xenoblade when watching his playthrough of it and it helped releive the stress I had for moving across the country. I found his channel and started binging until when he was on hiatus. Ever since i have watched his playthroughs.
I’ve been watching since 2008. Still the best let’s player I’ve ever watched, and still the same funny, kind person behind the screen.
The only video that has no dislikes.
Oh, Chugga, don't push yourself too hard.
Let’s find the 6 that disliked it and beat them up >:(
Those 10 dislikes are sensitive niggas
I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 and I discovered your channel through xenoblade chronicles and wow your play through of that game blew me away on how hard you worked and since then been a big fan and a friend you never met lol
I don't like the hiatuses because it's incredibly common for people to get sick or have some serious illnesses.
I'm glad that he's willing or wants to see what his fans are but I'm really concerned about Chuggaa's health or anyone's health when they go to a con.
Seriously, does no one wash their hands at these things?
Probably some combination of that and the sheer volume of human mass at every con.
@@Warrior_of_Fire I'm assuming food too and maybe water
Just keep on chugging on, Chuggaa. You beautiful man, you~
My favorite youtuber, and the most underrated one. I've been watching his videos since his sunshine playthrough, can't believe that was over a decade ago.
How everyone was still there after he was gone for those 2 months proves just how much support he really does have. Some youtubers have much more subscribers than him, but they can go on a hiatus like he did and many can lose interest. It wasn't like that for Emile, however.
That sounds awful. Especially with that bad medical advice making it worse. Glad that was years ago and that he's better now.
Chugga’s xenoblade LP is probably one of the greatest creations on CZcams. The the amount of detail and work was incredible while STILL making an enjoyable let’s play commentary and also pointing out cool details and Easter eggs. That’s how I got introduced to the series and nothing can match the first time I watched that games story it was incredible
When I found chugga’s channel I imagined him looking like an irl version of Barry from Pokémon DPP
Chuggaaconroy is a youtube legend.
Emile is just such an angel. He’s literally the only CZcamsr I’m subscribed to that I will watch any video he uploads. Even if it’s a game I don’t like it plan on buying to play, I could watch him play anything and find it enjoyable. I wish he had a better immune system because he doesn’t deserve any illness.
Jesus I can't imagine how bad that was. Even a fungus outer ear infection I had for a few weeks which was one of the most painful things I felt would pale in comparison. Chugga's strong and the best.
His Pikmin and Pikmin 2 LPs were cornerstones of my childhood and have very fond memories of watching them. I was very sad to hear that he was going through this at a time I didn't even know it was happening. I wish I could have wished him a quick recovery at the time but I was in 4th grade and didn't understand what insurance or ear infections were. Chuggaconroy is one of my favorite CZcamsrs, and I feel about him the same way I feel about Markiplier, in that he has gone through many hardships but always maintains positivity and is able to cultivate that positivity in his viewers.
Dang.... Man Chugga you suffered regardless glad you still well and much please take very good care of yourself you have become a part of my life in youtube to which i enjoy your contents gameplays let's plays and bit of times puns.
If ever sick please put yourself up first priority and make videos later date till your all good in health always.
The American health system proves itself once again to be terrible.
@Ghost_ Slaayer taxes, it really is that simple.
@Ghost_ Slaayer 1) I know what your analogy is a parody of and that fails because it assumes that we aren't social creatures, because as it turns out we are and we are able to not just do this, we are able to not have infighting like this.
The only reason why this isn't the case is due to hoarders.
2) corporate taxes aren't high, and personal taxes are lower than they were before, it's just income has been stagnant for decades and corporations haven't had to pay their taxes because of loopholes.
I remember this whole 2014 incident. Sad times, but I'm glad everything worked out.
Emile is just the best. He is so wholesome and dedicated to his work. 😊❤❤❤❤
I remember those times so well, really felt for Chugga and what he was going through glad he made it out ok in the end
Awesome video and keep up the good work and I know how you feel right now but we can get through this no matter what
I remember I stopped watching it when the break happened and picked it back up last year. Don't regret it.
Man I heard about his illness back then..I was really frightened about it, but I'm glad he survived all odds, let's hope it will NEVER happen again.
I’ve never broken a bone or had an allergic reaction either. Interesting......
0:55 I was legit scared when he didn't upload videos. I heard he was sick, and thought worse case scenario. :(
It was 2014 when he did for to the 2nd to final area of Xenoblade Chronicles. I remember that we were all scared and prayed that he would fight it, to be around longer or even to hear his puns. I prayed cause he is like a brother that is very funny with puns. I prayed cause I don't want to lose the best CZcamsr. He inspired me to live in my game days if Ōkami and Pokemon even Pikmin.
i haven’t watched him since he uploaded his kid icarus uprising gameplay and i’m glad i returned
Poor Chuggaaconroy...I feel like giving a hug right now 😀
I was scared when he didn’t upload for 2 months. I was wondering what happen to my favorite youtuber and so relieved when he came back.
That’s why when he retires, I’ll give the biggest salute to this man.
🫡
I love that Emile is so dedicated that he doesn't willingly take breaks, but also that we as a fanbase are actively telling him to take breaks. He really has formed a community.
so he DID get sick and have to take a break! Omg I thought I had made it up ;0;
We need to protect this wholesome boy!
All time favorite CZcamsr.
Our health care system, everybody...jesus christ. I guarantee you that doctor gave you the wrong medical advice because you were uninsured at the time. I've had quite a few friends of mine have the same issue where one of them just didn't have health insurance, and the doctors would give her wrong/misleading diagnostics. It's horrible. I feel so bad for people who live in America that have to deal with that system all of the time.
I just clicked on this to say the thumbnail almost feels like a parody of Japanese game developer interviews.
I'll give chugga a senzu bean
SENZU BEAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*plop
He's so sweet 😭😭
That’s insane, it just makes you wanna give the guy a hug after all that
Chuggaa is the ultimate chad gamer and I want to give him a hug
Ouch...That's gotta suck.Take breaks when you need to Emile.Life just...happens sometimes.
What a guy!
He's finally reached it, hasn't he?
I distinctly remember people in Chugga's community came together during this difficult time to support him in any way possible. At the time I did not have any money to give him, but for people like me, we decided that we'd find one of his Let's Plays and binge watch all the videos in the playlist while watching all the ads to the full length (within reason, as this was during the time YT had hour-long ads) to send as much ad revenue to him as possible.
For me, I chose to watch his LP of Majora's Mask, a game I had no interest in at the time, but it was of decent length and looked at least mildly entertaining (someone else I knew chose Okami, ouch). But by the end of watching his series, I had become a fan of that game, and I picked up Majora's Mask 3D soon after to play it for myself.
Even while very sick, Chugga showed me a great new game for me to play that I ended up loving so much. Thank you so much, Chugga!
This is the unluckyest Emile has ever been. Hope this never happens to you, or anyone ever.(Unless they deserve it)
What does deserve it entail
For every good luck he has in game he has bad luck irl. 0. O
@@hawbar4311 karma stuff
No one "deserves" anything, honestly that's pretty low of you to say that people who you don't like deserve to get sick.
