2024 summary

Across 2024, Daniel's content mixed gaming reviews and guides (Tekken 8, Palworld, Helldivers 2, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Hades 2, Black Myth: Wukong, Space Marine 2, Call of Duty Black Ops 6, Silent Hill 2 Remake, Path of Exile 2), tech-device reviews (MacBook Pro M3, ASUS ROG Flow X13, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, monitors), and personal vlogging covering relocation from Thailand to Japan and back to the UK, finances, gig delivery work, family friction, health complaints, and disputed accounts of past relationships, most notably an unresolved and contested narrative involving his ex-wife Chihiro.

Financial strain recurred throughout the year, including a UK tax dispute reportedly settled around £14,700, debts, loans from his mother, asset sales, and later stock/crypto trading; whether debts would be cleared by any stated deadline remained uncertain.

A recurring, unresolved thread concerned Daniel's past marriage and divorce from Chihiro in Japan, including disputed infidelity claims, an alleged SD card of intimate footage, allegations she reported him to police, disputes over an Apple Watch and other sold electronics, and claims of an attempted arrest via a police-connected relative. These remain contested, unverified accounts rather than established facts.

In a December Osaka trip, Daniel described observing Chihiro's former apartment and following a figure, resulting in police questioning and a stalking warning; whether the figure was Chihiro and other details remain unclear.

Daniel engaged in gig delivery work across Amazon Flex, Uber Eats, and Morrisons; Amazon permanently banned his Flex account in December after footage issues, prompting a shift to Uber Eats.

Daniel's relationship with a person referred to as Sunny fluctuated across autumn and winter, including visits, a communication breakdown, a cancelled visit, and discussion of a possible ski trip; the relationship's ultimate status remained unresolved.

Daniel reported recurring, unexplained physical symptoms across the year—fatigue, dizziness, stomach issues, coughing, shoulder pain, hand sweating—including a Christmas illness of uncertain cause (possibly flu or COVID), with none of these definitively resolved.

Family and household matters recurred, including friction with Daniel's mother over driving, Christmas gatherings, inheritance tension, and his mother's colonoscopy with pending lab results on a removed polyp.

Various unverified allegations recurred concerning other online figures (Anna Larson, Boyinaband, Ice Poseidon, ImAllexx) and concerning Daniel himself (an alleged racial slur during a stream, alleged infidelity), alongside political and geopolitical commentary on the US election, UK politics, the Russia-Ukraine war, and an ICC warrant concerning Netanyahu.

In March 2024, Daniel relocated from Thailand to Japan, traveling through Osaka, Amagasaki, Fukuoka, and Kochi/Shikoku, livestreaming outdoor walks amid recurring technical problems.

During Japan travel, tense confrontations occurred with youths over filming, a 7-Eleven employee objecting to filming, and guest-house chat participants doxxing his location; stalking/illicit filming allegations were raised by viewers and denied by Daniel, with intent and outcomes unresolved.

During an Osaka trip, Daniel described observing his ex-wife Chihiro's former former apartment at night and following a figure toward the building; after livestreaming about it, Japanese police detained and questioned him, issued a stalking warning, and made him delete contacts and remove related livestreams. Whether the figure was confirmed to be Chihiro and other legal details remain unclear.

A relationship with Sunny fluctuated in autumn, with a communication breakdown following days of silence in November and a reported ending by mid-to-late October when she reportedly said she did not want to continue; final status and reasons remained unclear.

Sunny visited Daniel for about eight days in mid-November, including a zoo trip, sushi dinner with Dave Gibson and Daniel's mother, cinema outings, and stargazing; Daniel skipped a funeral to spend time with her, and her next visit was postponed to the following year.

Conflict arose with Sunny in December after she cancelled a planned visit citing a job interview, leading to arguments and talk of a relationship break; a possible ski trip and London visit were discussed, with the relationship's continuation left unresolved.

Daniel frequently drove delivery routes with his mother, leading to friction over directions; one dispute ended with Daniel kicking and breaking a bin, prompting his mother to call his sister and Dave Gibson.

While delivering Amazon packages, Daniel was stopped by Kent Police in Chatham for an improper lane change made in front of a police car, resulting in an incident report and discussion of a likely fine and possible penalty points; he also briefly entered a bus lane afterward.

Amazon Flex suspended and then permanently deactivated Daniel's driver account after footage showed unblurred customer shipping labels and his mother assisting with deliveries. He deleted the videos and submitted multiple AI-drafted appeals, but Amazon upheld the ban as final.

Facing the permanent Amazon Flex ban, Daniel pivoted to Uber Eats, describing it as lower-paying but less stressful, while considering other courier options such as Royal Mail.

Daniel became ill around Christmas with fever, dizziness and altered taste, and spent the holiday with family, exchanging gifts, taking part in a trivia quiz, missing his late father, and noting tension around inheritance matters.

On New Year's Eve, Daniel reflected on a cancelled ski trip, illness over Christmas, his ban history from delivery roles, an Amazon gift return handled via viewer poll, and cancelling Amazon Prime.

Early-year hardware decisions were uncertain, including the returned MacBook Pro M3, mixed feelings about the ASUS ROG Flow X13, and varying battery-life estimates.

Whether Daniel used a racial slur during a Tekken stream remained disputed, attributed by him to distorted microphone audio.

Chihiro's whereabouts, feelings, possible blocking of Daniel, disputed SD card claims, and whether any arrest warrant exists in Japan remained unverified.

Spring uncertainties included the cause of an Airbnb ban, whether Chihiro avoided Daniel intentionally, his feelings about leaving Japan, UK tax residency status, and the future of a relationship with a girlfriend.

Outcomes of multiple police traffic stops during deliveries, including a November lane-change incident in Chatham, remained undetermined regarding fines or penalty points.

Household and neighborhood disturbances, including an intoxicated neighbor incident and domestic tension, had unclarified causes and severity.

An unverified account claimed Daniel's mother told Sunny that Daniel had lost his delivery job, with one version describing her calling him stupid for it.

Broader geopolitical uncertainties were raised regarding resolution of the Russia-Ukraine war and nuclear risk, without conclusions.

Certain claims about Sunny's or Chihiro's personal conduct were raised by others but left unverified.

Whether future patches would resolve severe performance issues in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was unknown.

Whether Amazon would reverse Daniel's Flex deactivation, how lost income would affect finances and relationships, and whether rival drivers reported him were speculative; the ban was ultimately upheld.

Reasons behind renewed contact from a former partner and an acquaintance named Kevin were not clarified.

Whether Daniel would continue or fully quit gig delivery work remained unresolved through November, before the Amazon Flex ban forced a shift to Uber Eats in December.
