[2022-04-18] Setting up my new rice cooker [J-Biq29wN_g]

How's that? A bit wider.

Oh, for God's sake.

Yes,

tripod.

Oh, what? iPhone so small, it almost

is too small to fit inside of the tripod

mount. Wow,

first stream on my iPhone.

When I have the clip-on wide-angle lens,

I can't see the top of the the screen

out the

way.

Okay, so we got the surface-to-air

missile— I mean, surface cleared.

I'm so bored,

I finally did a livestream.

I feel like I, I haven't done a livestream

in 2 weeks, so I feel like I've built up

some things to talk talk about. Plus I

have nothing else going on and the gaming

stuff is not really doing well anymore,

is it? I kind of missed,

missed the wagon a little bit with the

Star Wars Lego. Um, was a bit too

slow on the Star Wars stuff.

What do you think the stream is like from

the iPhone? The problem

is the iPhone has a wide-angle lens, but

you can't switch to it on the YouTube app,

which is kind of stupid, isn't it? On the

Android YouTube app, you can switch

between all of the lenses, including the

wide-angle. But on the iPhone, you've got

the standard lens and then the really

close lens, which makes me look gross.

So I could just do it like that, but then

it's kind of zoomed in. I want it wider.

I should have just done it on my Samsung.

When will I vlog again? I don't know, I

might make some vlogs now that I don't

know what else to make. It's just when the

Elden Ring videos were working, it made

sense to focus on Elden Ring, but now

Elden Ring doesn't really get views

anymore. Excuse me.

I'm not really sure what to do now. I

could make some videos about my thoughts

of like why I don't make vlogs anymore,

why I changed my channel name, why I— why

I don't talk about my life because there's

nothing to talk about.

Problem is, um, I don't know how,

how much of a negative effect changing the

channel name will be because people are

not going to know it's me now unless I put

my face in the thumbnail, which which I

did not for this stream.

But it says Daniel in the channel name,

so they should know it's me.

Oh well,

I'll explain why I changed the channel

name in a bit.

Maybe streaming

from the iPhone is not great. I don't know

how to check my battery. There's no,

there's no indicator that shows where the

battery is unless I pull down the

notification tab, but then does that stop

the streaming? Pull down notification,

it doesn't show my battery level.

Oh, I guess it doesn't matter.

I'll show you my new rice cooker.

Shit, why did it take a screenshot?

Okay, I'll get my rice cooker first.

Yeah, people wonder why I changed my

content because look how low the views

are. Even when I stream, the views are so

low. If the views were still as good

as they used to be, I wouldn't have had to

change my content. So don't blame me,

blame yourself.

Not my fault everyone got bored.

I also had to ban loads of people because

they kept whining about my new gaming

content. So if

you're here and you can't chat, it's

because you annoyed me and I banned you.

The trick is don't annoy me, then you

don't get banned.

But some people just can't help

themselves, can they?

Wow, look at this! They actually sent this

whole text— look at this book! They sent

a whole textbook. Well,

it's in different languages.

So I got a rice cooker because I

don't know, I just felt bored and wanted

to buy something, I guess. And I tried

making rice in a pot a few days ago and it

just came out really bad. It's been such a

long time since I had to cook rice, I

forgot how much water you had to put in.

I put a ratio of 1 to 1 rice to water, it

should have been 1 to 2. I didn't put

enough water and then the rice didn't cook

properly. Now it's all crunchy and gross.

Yum Asia.

Oh, why is everything from bloody

Netherlands? I swear, look at this as

well.

If you guys think that the universe is not

trying to take the piss out of me,

where is it? So I went to get my bicycle,

I had to get the garage key. Who wants

to guess what is written on the garage

key? Hold on, I need to find the key.

You won't believe what is written on the

garage key.

I can't find the damn thing. Huh?

Where's it gone? Maybe it's

on the other one.

Found it! You won't believe

what is on the garage key. Look at this.

I've got hide the key things.

Are you kidding me?

Cannot make that up. Why?

Why is the universe taunting me?

On the garage key, look.

My God.

Why would it say that?

Even my keys are taking the piss out of

me.

Now this is Wells from the Netherlands.

Oh, even this looks like— it says Mills.

Okay,

Yum Asia.

Something interesting did happen, but I

don't know if I want to talk about it.

It's pretty damn funny.

I don't think I should talk about it.

No, I won't

talk about it because

I don't want to encourage it.

I hate when they put all these polystyrene

blocks in the way.

Wow, looks like a spaceship.

Wow, that's a lot bigger than I expected.

Ninja ceramic inner bowl.

Look at this, it's a proper rice

cooker. Oh, I broke it.

What's that for? Why does it come off?

Oh wait,

where does this handle go? Oh, like that.

And we've got the bowl.

And it's got this inner

tray thing. What do you do with this?

Maybe you can make dumplings and steam

stuff.

Why do they put these plastic things on

it? I hate this stupid

wire. They— you gotta undo this wire as

well. Uh, you can't just rip it off, you

gotta untie it. Ooh, I got a rice cup.

Wow, that's a lot bigger than I thought

it'd be.

Now we can make some proper rice soup.

How does the audio sound? Because I never

streamed from the iPhone before.

No one's said anything about it, so I'm

guessing it's okay. Sounds good, that's

good. So I remember I tried streaming from

the iPhone X Back in Japan, and it was

rubbish because they put the microphone on

this side. But the new iPhones, they put

microphone on both sides. See, they listen

to me. They should

give me a job at Apple.

Do do do do do.

Also got a big box of crisps.

Look at this, all Marmite flavor.

My favorite.

Um,

I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh

no,

I forgot to wash my plate. Hold on.

Let's get

rid of this

box. Star Wars Lego is rubbish.

Extremely lacking in lustre. Not up

to my standards.

Do not buy.

Hmm, okay.

Oh, I feel tired now.

What's the next game in my review list?

Well, I'm waiting for— I think Hogwarts—

Hogwarts— what is it called? That new

Harry Potter game could be pretty big.

Problem is I don't have a PlayStation, so

I'm gonna have to wing it. And then

there's going to be Starfield coming out

in November, but apart from that,

maybe God of War Ragnarök.

I've got to keep my eye out on what's

going to be trending. Right now I don't

think anything is trending. The Elden Ring

trend is kind of dead now.

Well, I made some pretty good money from

the whole Elden Ring thing, so I can't

complain. It's just a bit of a shame it

didn't last longer. Well, it lasted pretty

long actually. 2 months is pretty long

just to rely on trending YouTube searches.

Obviously it wasn't going to last forever.

But it was a lot easier just to, just to

pump out these Elden Ring build videos.

Now I don't know what to make.

Imagine I put the rice straight in there

without the bowl. That'd be bad.

When's the next vlog? I don't know what

to vlog about. There's nothing really new.

I went on a bike ride, that was fun.

And then I tried my mum's electric bike.

They're really good. You can just pedal

straight up hills at like 15 miles per

hour, whereas— because there were some

hills I had to get off the bike because it

was just too hard, and I was pedaling so

slowly it would just be easier and save

more energy if I just walked and pushed

the bike up. But with the electric bike,

I could probably just zip straight up

those hills at 15 miles per hour. It's

going to cut my commute time in half if I

go again.

Those e-bikes, those electric bikes are

really good, and you don't need a driver's

license because they have a speed limit of

15 miles per hour. So when you go over 15

miles per hour, the battery stops, the

motor stops kicking in, and then it's all

manual pedaling. But when you drop below

15, the motor kicks in again and zooms you

off. And the law is As

long as the bike's motor doesn't power you

over 15 miles per hour, then you don't

need a license or insurance. It's those

really big ones that can go like 30 miles

per hour, you need a license.

And you just pedal, and then when, when

you're pedaling, it will start kicking in

the motor, which is good. And you can

choose different levels of power to

save battery.

Whoa. So I might look

into getting one of those or just use my

mum's bike. It'd be quite nice to have my

own. They're not too expensive as well.

They're like £600. Pretty cheap.

They gave me an EU plug as well.

Okay, where am I going to plug it in?

Aha!

Oh, it's on!

Are we a bit blurry on the edges?

It's kind of weird on the edges.

That's okay.

So apart from the bike ride, what else

have I been doing?

Um, I was spending a lot of time trying to

figure out how to get unbanned on Tinder.

I finally figured out, but now I kind of

don't care anymore. So if anyone else has

been banned from dating apps and they keep

banning you again when you try to get back

on, here's how I tricked the algorithm so

I don't get banned again. I managed to

make a new Tinder and a Bumble over 2

weeks ago now, and And I'm still not

banned, and I'm not shadow banned because

I've chatted to a few people, matched a

few people. So what you need to do is you

need to download a browser called Brave

Browser. It stops Tinder and stuff from

scanning your identity, your device

identity, and stuff like that. It stops

them from using their trackers on you.

And then you also want to— the

problem is when you take a new photo they

were still banning me because I think

they're doing some kind of facial

recognition scan. So I found a software

called Fawkes Cloaking, and then you put

the images through the Fawkes thing and it

does something with pixels so that the

facial recognition doesn't work anymore.

So I used my old pictures that I got

banned using before, and I used the same

pictures, but this time I put it into that

Fawkes software and they didn't ban me

again. They couldn't recognize my face

because I don't know how it does it. It

does like slight pixel changes, which is

good because I like those pictures. So I

can use those pictures again. Things I

noticed didn't really make a difference

were changing your IP address didn't seem

to make any difference, and changing your

device doesn't really seem to make a

difference because I got banned on my iPad

using the Tinder app, but then I

downloaded Brave browser and I used Tinder

on the Brave browsing app and

it's unbanned. So it can be on the same

device, just not using the same app or the

same browser. So if you get banned on one

browser, just use a different browser and

it counts as a new device. Yeah, they

think they're so smart banning me with

their stupid algorithm. Can't outsmart

me, bitch. Nothing gets in the way of me

and the poos. The poos.

So I feel pretty satisfied that I found

out how to get unbanned. I mean, it's been

2 weeks. I've been getting matches, been

chatting, used my same pictures from

before, and they still haven't found me

yet. Now I'm probably gonna get banned

because I'm bragging about it. It seems

like whenever I brag about stuff, I jinx

it and then get banned. Probably gonna get

banned tonight now. How come I can never

just brag about stuff and boast and gloat

without it backfiring? Maybe it's karma.

So that's good to know in case I need it.

Problem is my Tinder— I use the pictures

on my Tinder profile are really crap

because it's just me holding a cup in

front of my face to block my face because

I was testing out to see if I block my

face, will I get banned? And the answer

was no. So they're definitely scanning the

faces in your new pictures. And then

matching it with people who are on their

ban list. That must be what they're doing.

But I'm not getting any matches now

because my picture is me holding a cup in

front of my face. Who's gonna match me

when I've got such a dumb-looking picture?

It looks like I'm scared to show my face.

I've got a massive— maybe I've got 2 noses

and I'm trying to hold it.

It's not karma, it's haters. Well, yeah,

haters are basically the physical

embodiment of karma. Wouldn't you say? I

mean, that basically is what karma is.

It's when another entity goes out

of their way to try and punish you because

of what you've said or done. And then that

can be a human, or it could be an animal,

or it could just be like weird random

unluckiness.

I guess it depends what you define karma

as. If you define it as like a magical

voodoo thing, then yeah, it's kind of

silly. But if you think of it as the same

way as— well, it just means consequences,

doesn't it? It's like having a

consequence. Everything has a consequence,

doesn't it? It's just,

um, yeah, there's a lot of weird people in

the world who take it on themselves to

deal out their justice, I guess.

And you can't really do anything about it

apart from just try and be clever enough

to not give them ammunition, which I

haven't been very good at, to be honest.

I was trying to be a bit better at not

giving them the ammunition,

and, um, things I used to talk about in

streams didn't really help. My case to do.

So I've got to be more careful what I say

in streams,

because unfortunately I do have some

weirdo stalkers who will watch every

second of my boring live streams just to

try and find out if I've said anything

they can use.

But that is life. Where's my cup?

Okay, let me see how to

use this rice cooker.

Yeah, I know who these, these weirdo

haters are. I remember their names,

and some of them are very obsessive.

Like, they, they download everything I

post, and they keep an archive of

everything, and they probably sit there

all day watching everything so they can

clip it if it can be used against me.

There's definitely someone like that doing

that stuff.

I mean, it's just so sad, isn't it?

These people are just nuts.

Okay,

so let me see how to use— oh my God,

there's so many buttons.

It's just weird because there's like so

many actual dangerous people in the world

that they could focus their energy on

trying to bring down But instead they

focus their energy on me like some boring

nerdy weirdo who lives with his mum.

I just— I don't see the point, but they

get some kind of satisfaction out of it,

I guess.

Wow, you can cook soup in this. Oh, you

can make a cake as well and yogurt.

Wow, you can cook loads of stuff in this.

Is it touchscreen?

No. Rice, long grain, short grain,

and brown.

Imagine making a soup in a rice cooker.

Long grain, maybe. Instructions.

Measure, rinse. No, I don't rinse my rice.

I never rinse my rice and I feel fine.

I don't care if the water is a bit cloudy.

I don't understand why people care.

Put rice into the inner bowl, add fresh

cold water, select You

know, last time I used a rice cooker, I

was married in Japan.

It's not on, is it? No.

Wait, do I put the rice in first?

Yeah. And then we need 2

cups of water.

And then I guess we just close it and

do rice,

long grain.

And then what do I do?

Close the lid, select function you want to

cook by using the menu button until you

get the rice button, then choose rice

type, then press start. That's it.

Nothing happens. How do I select

it? It's just— what?

Select rice.

1 hour? Really? 1 hour?

Come on, that's ages.

Press and hold start button for 2

seconds.

Cool, is it working?

Why is it just spinning around?

Press and hold start for 2 seconds. When

the rice is ready, it will beep and

automatically switch to keep warm.

I don't know if it's actually doing

anything.

It's just spinning.

Do not buy Sakura rice cooker,

it is rubbish. You know how much this cost

me? I think it was £180, so this rice

better be damn good.

Okay, let's read the manual though. Let's

see what it says.

Wash the bowl and inner lid.

Whoops. Porridge. Can make

porridge and soup. How to bake

a cake.

And you can also steam vegetables using

this.

Close lid, select the rice you want to

cook with. Finish rate. Oh, there's like—

oh, it's making noises. It's making like a

clicking sound. What's this for?

Is it warm? Oh look, it says

here finish rate. It's got a little black

flashing square.

Am I on TikTok? Yeah, I made a few TikToks

a couple years ago. But none

of them went viral. I think one got 1,000

views, but that's it.

I just don't have the creativity to be

able to go viral. I just

don't have it in me anymore, you know, to

make like, um, like some kind of viral

meme. Let's do something funny or

interesting. I just, I have no idea how to

do that. I know how to have— I

know how to make really bad controversial

takes and piss people off, and that works

sometimes,

but not— that's not a very good way to

build an audience, is it?

I just feel too old for it. Maybe when I

was 26, 27, I would have done, done some

dumb stuff. I used to, you know, back in

2018. Remember I did that stupid dance

whilst I was cooking chili?

I just, I don't feel like doing

that stuff anymore.

Guess I became boring.

Have I been using my love doll? Actually

just used it. It's a bit black

around the bumhole bit, but it's still

Can't believe it. It's been servicing me

for three years now.

It's really good though. It feels great.

I found a special way to use it.

It's just, um, it's getting, getting a bit

tatty now.

Like the, um, the hole bit kind of comes

apart. Don't know how that happens.

It's like the inner wall of the vag can

come out if you put it too much.

It's like, it's like it's aging, it's

getting old. It's like a saggy vagina. I

need to get a new fresh one, nice tight

and firm without— I

don't know why it's going black around. I

think bacteria is getting under the top

layer of rubber. It's seeping

in somehow and then festering because the

top layer of rubber kind of detaches from

the main bit of— it's really hard to

explain. I'd have to show it to you, but

then I'd get banned probably. I don't know

what that black— it's like a black patch.

There's probably all kinds of— it's like a

colony of bacteria, but luckily

it doesn't come into contact with my

peepee.

So— ouch, I just hit my toe. So I haven't

been getting infections, which is great.

But yeah, that Love Doll is probably one

of the best purchases I've made. I just

got it to make that video for like the

meme. Didn't think I'd actually end up

using it, but I can def—

I can definitely recommend getting one.

Oh wow, look, how many bars are there?

There's— it looks like it goes up to here.

We finished 2 blocks now. I think there's

7 or 8. No, it looks like there's 8.

Can you see that?

Where am I now? I'm back home with my mum.

Wow, this is cooking quite fast,

isn't it? I don't feel any heat coming out

of it.

Wait, I need to check something.

Be right back.

It's just checking the stream on my

computer. The quality is quite good.

Usually I, I don't get a good connection

for streaming down here, which is why I

always streamed upstairs. But it looks

pretty good, doesn't it?

Okay, so I'll explain why I changed the

name of my channel and what the point of

it was. So first of all, people were

saying there's no point changing the name

because Hiding in My Room is still linked

to the channel. And that's true. If you

search Hiding in My Room, yes, the channel

still comes up, but that's not the point

of changing it. The point of changing the

channel name is so if I'm chatting

to someone and they find my channel,

which has happened in the past, they'll

see that my channel is called Daniel. So

if they Googled or YouTube searched

Daniel, all of the hiding in my room stuff

shouldn't come up. Although it might do,

I don't know. But my theory is some of it

might not come up. But if I left it as

hiding in my room and then they Google

search hiding in my room, well, you know

what comes up. So all that rubbish comes

up, doesn't it? All these weirdos that

made videos about me over over the years

calling me a psycho and stuff just because

they're too stupid to understand that I

made— I make weird content to get

attention, to get views, to drive traffic.

But some people are just too dumb to

realize that content is content and it

doesn't really portray who I am as an

actual person.

But people find that stuff and they just

think, oh wow, Daniel must be a psycho?

Why is he not locked up? So I changed

the name of the channel to try and

distance myself from the hiding in my room

results a little bit. I know it's not

going to be 100% foolproof,

but I think it can reduce the probability

of people finding out weird stuff about

me. Surely it's going to help a little

Because it's happened in the past where I

matched someone and I said— I just

experimented with telling a few people

that I do YouTube, and guess what they do?

First thing they do is they search Daniel

YouTube, and then they'll search like

Daniel Japan, Daniel Tech, and then

they'll find my channel, and then they

probably see all the related stuff. So I'm

just wondering that if I change the name

of the channel, then the other stuff might

not show up. I thought it

was worth a shot. And then the people

who already know me as Hiding in My Room,

well, they'll still be able to find the

channel if they search Hiding in My Room.

Yeah, if they search Daniel Lord, then

that's pretty bad too, but I can't really

do much about that apart from just not

telling people my last name.

It depends on the girl, you know. Some

girls are very not tech savvy and they

don't really think to Google people. And

then there's some girls who are extremely

tech savvy and they'll Google you and look

at your LinkedIn and, I don't know, do all

kinds of internet searches. I guess I'm

just not going to have any luck with those

kind of girls because they're just going

to find me.

So basically I have to rely on the girl

not really searching me,

not being paranoid, I guess.

Because you know, some women are like

that. They, they don't use the internet.

They just use it for maybe a few messaging

apps, look at the news.

It's like my ex, ex-Japanese girlfriend,

she didn't even have a smartphone. She

didn't do anything on the internet. She

didn't even know what things like PayPal

were. There's a lot of people like that

still in the world.

Oh look, steam is coming out.

The internet has kind of ruined my life in

a way, you could say. Because a lot of

people, especially guys, have done weird

stuff in the past that they would never

tell anyone about. It's like the guy

you're dating now has probably done messed

up stuff in the past that you won't ever

find out about because he's never going to

tell you. And he had the common sense not

to put it all over fucking YouTube like I

did. God, I'm such an idiot.

I bet you anything, girls here, you got a

boyfriend, I bet you anything that

boyfriend has done some stuff that

you have no idea about, because all guys

have done something weird when they were

younger.

But that's why you keep stuff secret, I

guess. Don't make a bloody YouTube video

about having, you know, one.

Oh, I can smell rice.

I can't believe how quick this has been

cooking. Look at the bars go up. I'm very

excited. I've got a new

frying pan as well over there.

Nonstick. Don't know what it's made out

of. It's got like that black and speckled

white coating.

Would Elvis take the videos down if— yeah,

he did offer on Christmas.

I don't really feel like the Elvis videos

are that bad though. He portrayed me in

a way that I thought was pretty funny.

I mean, I feel like Elvis reacted to my

videos in the way that I hoped people

would react to them, which is they would

laugh and think it was hilarious and think

I'm a bit of a weirdo, but you know, I'm

kind of goofy and I do weird stuff. And I

think that's how a lot of people did react

to my content. It's just a lot of people

didn't. They took it way too seriously.

I don't know why people can't just accept

the fact that people make videos on

YouTube to make money, and it's content,

it's like entertainment. I got to try and

make it entertaining, don't I? What is the

best way to make videos entertaining? You

use drama, clickbait, scandalous stories.

Because I stopped doing that stuff now,

and look what happened to my channel.

Bloody dead. So don't blame me, I was

right the whole time.

So I feel like Elvis's reaction videos to

my videos were done in a comedic way.

Like, he highlighted how my content was

weird and funny and interesting. He didn't

really make me seem— he didn't really put

emphasis on trying to make me look like a

psycho. Like I needed to be in a mental

asylum or something, like some people do.

So I don't really feel like the Elvis

videos are a problem unless

I'm wrong.

I mean, what would a girl's reaction be if

they— what kind of reaction would a girl

have If she sees the Elvis videos,

if she's got a sense of humor, she would

laugh and not be so anal about it. If

she's going to be anal about it, then

she's probably not the type of person that

I want to be. What's that smell?

Smells like melting plastic. Oh no! What

if there's like a piece of polystyrene

that was in? Inside of it.

Come on, how long is it going to take? I

want to see my rice.

How do I check the battery?

I don't know how to check the battery.

There's no notification bar. Do I swipe

down? Does the stream stop when

I swipe down? Yeah, I think when I swipe

down it— fuck's sake.

Hello? Hello? When I swipe down the

notification, it stops the stream. This

stupid iPhone.

I think next phone I get, I'm not gonna

get an iPhone. Android is just better.

It's not bad connections because I swipe

down to open the notification screen to

check the battery. Screen is black. Oh,

for God's sake,

let me check.

Oh, why is the screen black?

Is it still black?

I'm gonna have to switch to my Android, I

think.

Okay, I'm gonna switch to the bloody
