everything's changing soon [j5uAOcoZRyo]

Testing, testing,

testing.

Testing,

testing.

Uh, streaming.

Oops.

Okay, finished my setup,

finished my lunch.

Why is there a light above my head?

Look, I moved my monitor, I unplugged my

monitor, so I got all this space now.

It's so nice to have my desk back. When I

had that big monitor, it was just blocking

everything. I couldn't use the space in

front of me. Reclaimed my desk space.

I need to set it. Look at it.

27-inch.

Uh, I need to start getting rid of Big

stuff. We don't have

much time left in Thailand.

Yeah, I guess I'll try and sell it. I

could probably get $50 for it.

My mouth hurts.

So remember I bit the inside of my mouth?

On Christmas Eve. That's nearly finished

healing up. Took almost 2 weeks. Now I've

got another ulcer on this side. This time

not because I bit it, it just appeared.

So I think I'm vitamin deficient. And I

also got a painful lump on the right side

of my tongue.

I don't know what that is. I think it's

vitamin deficiency. So I got these.

Multivitamin soy germ.

Really annoying when your whole job

revolves around talking and then your

mouth is in constant pain. Not good,

not good, guys.

Apparently there's a superstition. These

little lumps on your tongue, they're,

they're because you lied. They're called

liar bumps. I think it's

because I'm not eating enough fruit. I'm

barely eating any fruit. Last time I had

an apple was probably when I made those

apple pies. I really need to buy some

fruit. Don't know why, I just got kind of

lazy eating fruit. The fruit here is just

weird. Like, the bananas are really small,

the oranges are green, the apples are the

only normal fruit.

Getting a lot of mouth problems, ulcers.

Got one on the corner of my mouth. On the

inside, which is kind of painful.

Maybe it's like karma. All the trolling

and toxicness I put out onto YouTube come—

coming back, manifesting in my mouth as

negative energy. Maybe it's kind of like

karma. It's a bit ironic.

You spew out negativity, it manifests

itself back inside of your mouth. How

poetic.

So yeah, I have to start thinking about

getting rid of big stuff. I still got all

of January, all of February, so I

could still use the monitor, but I don't

want to be— I don't want to feel like

really comfortable and having a good time

with my monitor, and then I've got to

suddenly leave and lose the monitor. So

I'm like mentally preparing myself for

life back on the road, and having a big

luxury monitor doesn't really fit into

that. So I got this new laptop,

very small and portable but very powerful.

Got rid of the MacBook yesterday. Was it

yesterday? No, it was like 2 days ago. I

went back to the Apple Store Took back the

MacBook Pro. I got my refund yesterday,

which I'm a bit annoyed about because I

was waiting for the baht to strengthen and

hoping I was going to make profit on the

refund. But the baht weakened over the

weekend, so I actually lost money on the

exchange rate. So yeah, I sent back 2

MacBook Pros and I got destroyed by 2 bank

fees and 2 exchange rate conversions.

So that was a complete waste of money and

When are you going to leave Thailand?

Leaving in March. So we've only got about

2 months left. I feel kind of sad. It's

like the end of an era. I feel like I've

been here so long. Now I have to leave.

It's gonna be weird. I got so comfortable

in this apartment as well. A little

bit too comfortable, one might say.

Got this fish tank as well. What do I do

with that?

The monitor, I moved it over to the other

table. I've got to take pictures of it and

then list it for selling.

Long, your Discord is kind of dead.

Nobody cares about you anymore. Thanks,

Chosen. Yeah, hard to argue with that.

People just don't care anymore, do they?

It's just really hard to keep people

I think this place started to feel like

home for you. Yeah, it does after a year

plus.

It has been a nice place to live.

Oh, I got a credit card as well. They

haven't sent me the card yet. I'm waiting

for it to arrive. Back home, then my mum's

gonna send it to me. So I never had a

credit card before. They said I have a

maximum spend limit of £6,000, so that

should help out. Oh, and I finished paying

all my tax yesterday.

Finished paying off the final £7,400.

Got the MacBook Pro refund money back. I

got the 2,000 from my stocks,

which gave me enough money.

The latest hardcore genre you've been

watching behind your girlfriend's back?

Uh, I kind of got bored of that stuff now.

I went back to Japanese MILFs,

the good old bread and butter.

How'd you get approved for $6K? I don't

know. I just put in my job and

my relationship. They ask you weird

questions like, are you married? Are you a

homeowner? So I just answered

all these questions completely honestly

because, you know, I'd never lie.

And then they approved me for £6,000,

which unfortunately I found out you can't

use a credit card to pay your tax. So I

use it for other stuff like buying stocks

maybe. For some reason I can't move money

out of it yet. I think I need the actual

card first. So I've got the card number

and the expiry date on my banking app.

But I don't know the security code because

that's on the card. So I need to wait for

that. And my Revolut Metal Gold membership

card arrived, but I'm waiting for the

credit card to come first and then my mum

will send all of it to me together. So

hopefully I get that middle of January.

Chihiro hasn't really moved on from you,

hasn't she? She's still stalking you and

talking to Kami. Yeah, maybe.

She and my mum are friends.

Maybe she'll be at the wedding.

Oh, it's so nice to get rid of the

monitor. I got all this space in front of

me. Could get a bigger tank, fish tank.

I thought the monitor was nice to have,

and it was, but it's just a little bit too

big. I kind of like this little portable

setup I got here. How much CPU? What, I'm

using 0.6% of the CPU? The stream is

smooth, isn't it? I've got the laptop on

silent mode and power efficiency mode to

keep the fan noise down. The problem with

Windows laptops is you gotta constantly

fiddle with the power performance settings

to get the right fan noise. Otherwise it

just sounds like a vacuum cleaner. So I

usually keep it on silent mode with

optimized— well, actually I keep it on eco

mode, and that disables the discrete GPU.

It's got a very powerful RTX 4050 in it,

but I keep it disabled and I use the

integrated graphics chip because that's

like much more efficient. And then when I

do gaming I switch on to like beast mode,

8,000 RPM fan noise, fan spinning

speed, and the thing just goes crazy like,

like that. I miss the MacBook

because it was just dead silent the whole

Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting my

Revolut card and then I can actually take

cash out. So when I bought this laptop, I

got destroyed by the bank fees again— 3%.

I don't think I've talked about my new

laptop yet, have I? Because my last stream

was on the MacBook, and that was before I

got this one. So I went into— where

was it— Central World on Christmas,

Boxing Day. I think it was Boxing Day or

New Year's Eve. And they had New Year

sales everywhere. I got this laptop 10%

off. This is actually a $1,700

laptop, but I got it for like $1,550

because they gave me a 10% discount. They

also gave me a VAT refund letter, but I

don't think I can use it because I'm not

leaving within, within 60 days.

So I thought Yeah, I could wait

a week and buy it and then be able to use

the VAT refund, but the New Year's sale

was gonna end on that day, and the New

Year's sale was 10%, which is more than

the 5% VAT refund. So I thought, you know,

logically, if you do the maths, the New

Year's sale was worth more than the VAT

refund, so it was better to buy it

straight away. Than having

to wait.

And then I kind of regretted it, you know,

I was like flipping forwards and backwards

between the MacBook trying to decide which

one to keep. Decided to keep the Asus,

this one, because I can get a full refund

for the MacBook. I can't get a refund for

this, so I'd have to sell it at a slight

loss. And this one I can play video games

on it. And it can do this.

MacBook can't do that, can it? Can MacBook

do that? I don't think so.

Wow, that is so useful.

Not. And you can also do like tablet mode,

tent mode. It's pretty cool, and it only

weighs 1. 2 kg compared to 1.6

kg on the MacBook Pro. So it's so light,

look at this, I can lift it with 2 hands

easy.

MacBook will render and video edit faster.

I actually made some videos comparing them

and the Asus was able to export

a maximum resolution 60 FPS, uh,

1080p video almost 2

times faster than the MacBook could using

Filmora Wondershare, which is my video

editing software. But when the MacBook

uses iMovie, then it was way faster. But I

don't like iMovie. iMovie sucks. It's

really hard to use. It's ba— it's got

barely any features on it.

And also my video editing is super basic.

My phone can do video editing. All I do is

I film a clip and then I drag it onto the

timeline and then I trim off the beginning

and the end of the dead air and then I add

a new clip. That's all I do. Maybe

sometimes I drag on a little music track.

Or I put some text. I don't need really

powerful machinery to do video editing.

Oh no, it takes 10 minutes to export

instead of 7 minutes. My life is ruined.

Also, gaming sucked on the MacBook Pro. I

tried playing Total War: Warhammer 2 on

the MacBook Pro, and I had to put it on

low graphics. To get a steady FPS. So I

put on high, it would just be like 25 FPS

and it wasn't smooth, and I didn't have

enough RAM. So when I Alt+Tabbed to

Discord, to the game, to Discord, it

crashed just Alt+Tabbing because it was

using so much RAM. On this laptop, I can

play Total War: Warhammer 2 on mega

massive ultra settings, 2560 resolution,

and I can Alt+Tab and it's completely

smooth because I've got 16GB of RAM on

this.

So this laptop's way more powerful than

the MacBook, and I've got a 1TB SSD,

which is massive. 512GB is kind of

restrictive. Once you've downloaded a

couple games, you barely have anything

left. The ROG Ally only had 512GB,

and I swear I only had 3 games and I used

up all the hard drive. I don't know how.

If I didn't game, then I'd probably get a

MacBook. I'm thinking when the MacBook Air

M3 comes out, I'll have a look at that.

I'm just realizing now I can just buy

stuff from the Apple Store and then refund

it. No questions asked. They don't even

like warn you. The only problem is the 3%

bank fee, which I'm gonna avoid when I get

my credit card because, you know, the

credit card, it has 0% transaction fees on

overseas spending, same as the Revolut

card. But the Revolut card, I get 1%

cashback, so I can just get Apple

products. The problem is if you buy the

Apple product when the pound

is strong, when you get a refund,

you'll lose money because it'll be going

from baht back to pound. And if you do the

refund when the baht is weak, you'll lose

money. Kind of confusing.

So I was thinking, oh my God,

you know the Revolut account lets you buy

different currencies and make different

accounts. Storing different currencies.

Oh my God, why don't I just buy the baht

when the baht is weak and then buy the

MacBook and then refund

it and they'll refund me back the baht

because the baht don't change. It's always

59,900 baht.

That is a static fixed price. It only

changes when I convert the baht back into

pounds, which happens because they're

refunding it to me, to my UK bank. Which

always is in pounds. So I should buy the

MacBook using my baht in my Revolut

account when the baht is weak.

Oh, I could actually profit and then I'll

wait until the baht is strong again. Oh,

why don't I just, I buy the MacBook when

the baht is strong because it doesn't

matter because there won't be any

conversion rates because I already bought

the baht. I'm a genius.

Maybe I'll buy the new MacBook Air if it

comes out before I go to Japan? When's it

coming out? I already bought everything

that's new. I got the iPhone 15 Pro, I got

the new MacBook. There's nothing really

new I want to test out.

I swear Revolut is amazing. You can just

buy currencies and store it in account.

Why didn't I do this before? No one even

suggested it to me. You know, I've been

paying 3% on everything I buy, everything

I buy for my entire life.

Like all the years I've been to Japan,

I've been paying 3% bank transactions.

Now I don't pay any transactions and I

actually make back 1% cashback. So stupid,

isn't it? Yeah, you can use

Revolut online because you go into the the

online store and you do the fill out your

bank details, you just put in the Revolut

card number and the expiry date. I don't

even need the physical card because it's

all in the app. I might even have YouTube

pay out my YouTube money to Revolut, to my

Revolut bank account. It's so good.

I got the £15 a month metal plan,

which I think is worth it.

I thought you could only use Visa and

MasterCard online. It is Visa.

Revolut is a Visa card. It says Visa on

it. I've already used it. I used it to buy

Filmora Pro version. I used it to buy

YouTube. Oh, I got the YouTube 1-year

premium membership in Thai baht.

I got the Thai prices. Guess how much

YouTube Premium is in Thailand? It's like

$4. And then if you buy the 1-year plan,

you get 15% off. So I spent like $40 to

get 1-year YouTube Premium, and I got 1%

cashback because I bought it on Revolut.

So I bought YouTube Premium using Revolut.

I bought my Video editing software plan on

Revolut. I bought— let me just look what I

See all.

I think that's it. Oh, I bought my plane

ticket to Japan. I mean, I bought my

domestic flight ticket in Japan on

Revolut. I got 1% cashback.

I love it. It's great. Oh, and they've

got savings, so you get 4% interest on

savings and they pay it daily. So I just,

I plonked £2,000 into the savings account

for a couple of days and I made like 50

pence. I didn't make— I made 50 pence for

doing nothing because 4% of £2,500,

I mean £2,000, is like,

it's like 80.

So £80 over a year, but every day it's

like 20 pence. You just leave it in there

for a week and you'll make a pound. It's

so cool.

Netflix here is probably like $2. I wonder

if I can get the Thai prices if I use my

VPN and set my location to Thailand when

Push Revolut link on your socials.

Yeah, I did think about it. I have linked

it a few times, but no one signed up.

Someone wanted to sign up, but they said

they're from Canada and Canadians can't

use it. Apparently it says I'll get

between £10 and £200 if I invite a friend.

Oh, I went to Sushiro and I used Revolut.

You know, in Sushiro they got self-service

checkout. I just pressed Visa and I went,

paid, got 1% cashback. It was so

nice. I love Sushiro. You just walk in,

you sit down, you start taking plates off

the conveyor belt. Don't have to wait for

the food to come. You know, in Japan they

stopped doing the conveyor belt sushi

because that stupid guy— apparently it's

not a kid. I thought it was a kid. Did you

see him? The blonde-haired guy licking the

soy sauce bottles and putting it back? I

thought he was like 15 years old.

Apparently he's like a 22-year-old man.

He looks like a kid. The hell?

So because of him, I don't know if it's

changed now, but they stopped doing

conveyor belt sushi in Japan, but they do

it here still. Just sit down, you grab

stuff off. I can eat maybe 6 or 7 plates

and then I get full.

It's not cheap though.

It's like £16 for me and her,

so it's nearly £10 for a meal. That's not

cheap. It was like 700

baht. It's kind of normal for Japanese

food in Thailand. If you go to a Japanese

restaurant, you'd usually spend about 350

baht per person,

which is nearly 5 times more than just

getting Thai food. Not cheap. Oh,

and then we went to a fancy— it was like a

fancy tonkatsu restaurant, and that cost

£22. This is like UK prices now.

It was really good though. It was like

thick, juicy pork deep fried in

breadcrumbs, and then you get rice, miso

soup. It was like really fancy

tonkatsu. That was £22 though,

damn expensive for a meal.

You know how much money I spent on food in

December?

£300! I can't believe it.

I spent £70 on the Christmas turkey hotel

buffet. I spent nearly £50 on some

Korean barbecue. Why did your Thai

girlfriend break up with you? Oh wow,

thanks, James. She didn't break up with me

yet. Who knows what's gonna happen?

It is kind of weird though, because just—

I think it was like November, we had a lot

of fights. We're having fights almost

every week. I don't even know why.

And then after we discussed the whole

going to America thing, we haven't had one

fight and she seems completely fine. I

don't know what's changed. I think it was

because she was probably feeling unstable

about the future because I have no plan

and now she has a plan. I think she was

like expecting me to make plans involving

her. But I just kind of made my own plans

for myself and I said, well, you can come

if you want. And now she's got her own

plans. She probably feels stable,

which is why she's okay now. That's my

theory. I don't know what she expects from

me. Like, what can I do? I can't afford

to sponsor her for a UK visa.

I've got enough money problems as it is.

I need £6,000 in my bank account for bank

statements to sponsor her for a UK visa.

And then she doesn't even really want to

go to the UK because she said she can't

get a job there and then she'll have

nothing to do there. So she wants to go to

America so she can get a job.

She's got a point. Remember when my dad

was sick and Chihiro came with me? And we

were just like stuck in purgatory or

whatever the phrase is. It was just like

Groundhog Day every day, nothing to do.

And Chihiro was getting depressed because

she couldn't work and she missed her

friends. And she was like stuck in the UK

for 2 weeks waiting for my dad to pass

away. I mean, waiting for my dad's

funeral. And she ended up going back to

Japan alone.

Damn, laptop's getting noisy. We got 26,

32 decibels fan acoustics,

64 degrees. I don't know if you guys can

hear the fan. That is the annoying thing

about Windows. I hate the noise. I'm not

even doing anything right now. I'm just

streaming. It shouldn't be spinning up the

Can you hear it? If you guys find

it really annoying, then I guess I'll have

to refund this. I mean, take it back or

sell it and then get a new MacBook,

because at the end of the day, all that

matters is if you guys are happy.

When's the MacBook Air M3 coming out? I

thought instead of getting the M3, I could

downgrade to the M2, but this time I spend

extra money on RAM. I think more RAM is

more important than having the higher

level CPU chip because I don't really need

M3. I don't do anything that's really CPU

intensive. Streaming says it's taking 0.5%

CPU right now, but on the MacBook

it was taking 8% CPU.

I think the software wasn't optimized for

Mac. I was using OBS Mac

version, but I think it uses like some

kind of Windows version

of OBS that works on Mac. It's not like a

true optimized for Mac version. I know,

you know, there's a lot of programs that

have Mac versions, but they're not really

native Mac. They're just like running on

some kind of software that allows Macs to

use it, if that makes sense.

Because I got Filmora Wondershare video

editor on my Windows and MacBook, and it

was way slower on the MacBook. I don't

M3 is for professional video editing.

Yeah, maybe like 4K editing,

loads of timeline things. Have you seen

Chris Broad's video edits? His timeline is

insane. It's like that thick. He's got

like 15 layers of sound. I don't even know

what it is, like sound effects, clips upon

clips upon clips, text. He's got

so many sound effects. I usually use one

line for video. And then maybe a few bits

of text here and there if I really need to

show like text or an image to highlight

the point I'm making. Filmora is crap.

I like it.

What's better? Final Cut Pro? That thing's

like $300. Too expensive.

I used to use PowerDirector, but I like

Filmora.

On PC. I don't know why Windows laptops

get so hot. It's really hot. It's, uh,

60 degrees.

So I might take some photos of this laptop

and try and sell it, see if I can get a

decent price. I actually see someone else

on Facebook trying to sell this, and

they're selling it for 40,000 baht, which

is 15,000 baht less than what I bought it

for. So if I'm gonna compete, I need to at

least match his price. But then I'd lose—

how much is that? It's like $300.

Oh my god, it's $400. I'd lose $400 by

selling this.

Get maxed out M3 Pro. Yeah,

that thing's like $7,000. I'll get it on

my credit card. It's got, what,

128 gigabytes of RAM?

I need to stop. I don't know why I'm like

so obsessed with laptops right now. It's

getting out of control. I just, I love

tech and I love trying out new stuff.

I want to be a tech YouTuber. That's my

Why sell it? Because I want a MacBook.

But then when I have a MacBook, I want a

Windows because I, I miss playing my video

games. But then when I have video games,

I get sick and tired of video games

because it feels like a waste of time. I

played Total War: Warhammer 2 for like 6

hours yesterday, and then I got fed up

because I kept losing, and I just felt

like, wow, I just wasted 6 hours for

nothing. Now I'm in a bad mood because I

feel like crap. My eyes are all blurry.

What was the point of that? Didn't make

any money, did it? I want

to get the MacBook Air M2,

13-inch display with 24GB

of RAM. So I sacrifice

screen size and CPU, get the M2,

but I max out on RAM, which I really need

RAM because I do a lot of stuff at the

same time. I don't do highly intensive

stuff, but I do a lot of low-intensity

tasks.

Yeah, the screen also looks crap compared

to the MacBook. It just looks kind of

washed out. It's definitely not OLED.

You really need an OLED display to compete

with the mini LEDs on the MacBook.

It's the touch layer. Well, the

touchscreen makes the screen look crap.

Hmm. I don't really use the touchscreen.

It's kind of cool, I guess,

but I'd rather just use my mouse.

It is a nice machine, I guess.

I'm just wondering what I'd buy instead if

I could go back in time and get my money

back. MacBook Air versus

Pro. The Pro has a fan,

which is good, but I never use the fan. I

never do anything that makes the fan go

on, so having a

fan is useless if it's never on, is it?

What's the point of it then?

I thought about getting an iPad, but I I

can't do this on the iPad. This is what I

need a computer for. Look, I've got OBS.

I've got my phone linked to it wirelessly.

I've got my mic. You can't do this on an

iPad. You need a proper computer. If you

could do this on an iPad, I'd get an iPad.

Daniel didn't survive a week without

gaming. Yeah, because,

because I'm a YouTuber, I need to make

videos about games. So if a new trending

game comes out and I can't cover it,

imagine all the money I'm missing out on.

Right now it's kind of quiet in the gaming

world.

But I got like 25,000 views on my

Cyberpunk sniper rifle video guide. Come

on, if I can't game, I'm missing out on so

many, uh, views and revenue

streams. And for what?

So you can have a fancy-looking MacBook—

MacBook— MacBook that has no fan noise?

I'm a bit annoyed though. This laptop cost

a lot of money and the screen isn't

GTA 6, that's not coming out until next

It was trending a bit when the trailer

came out, but then you look on Google

Trends, the trend went straight back down.

No one cares. They just like watch the

trailer. What else is there to do?

Would be good for drawing. Yeah, I could

get a pen, do drawing again, but I,

I need Procreate. Procreate was really

good. I don't know if there's a good

program like Procreate.

It's very simple. I don't like things like

Photoshop or these Corel Studio

Pro Artist programs that cost $100 or

something. I want a very simple kind of

iPad app.

I don't know if it's going to mess up the

stream if I start flipping the screen

around. Maybe I shouldn't touch it.

Oh, thanks, Sherbet. I'm doing— I'm

doing okay. The main problem is my mouth

is in constant pain. It's one thing after

another. I bite it. That heals. I get an

ulcer and I get a painful lump on my

tongue. I get an ulcer on the back of my

uvula. I thought I was sick because I had

a sore throat. It wasn't a sore throat.

How is the one internet sexiest man doing

today? Ulcer next to the uvula.

I looked in the mirror and it's like a

white patch. It wasn't a sore throat.

Yeah, I'm doing okay mentally, although I

feel a bit sad and melancholic. About

having to leave soon, and I feel like I'm

gonna miss my girlfriend quite a lot. You

know, recently sometimes I do get annoyed

with her and I feel a bit fed up, but then

I start trying to imagine what's it gonna

be like when she's completely gone, and I

feel like it's gonna be kind of sad, kind

of weird,

something new to have to get used to.

I think maybe we could go on one last

trip, maybe to Koh Samui or Chiang

Mai. I don't know, do something for

like the final adventure together.

It's just every time we go on a trip, we

always end up having some kind of

argument, usually on the way back.

Or I get fed up because I'm like sick and

tired of seeing dirty, smelly food

markets.

I thought you hated Thailand. I don't

hate it. I hate aspects

of it, like the dirty, smelly street food

markets. I hate those. They don't sell

anything I like. I only like Icon

Siam, Central World.

That's it, really. I only like the really

big luxury super shopping centers.

I like a few of the parks, but anywhere

outside of Bangkok I don't like. I have

not been impressed. Khao Yai was nice.

Yeah, I take that back. Khao Yai was

really good. Really nice cool air.

What's the word? What are those trees?

Cruciferous, kind of European foresty

looking trees everywhere. Not like jungle

palm tree. I don't like jungles. Jungle— I

think the forest And I think lush nature,

green cruciferous trees,

rolling mountains and hills, beautiful

forest scenery. And then I think of

jungle, like sweaty palm tree,

big spiders, disgusting insects, scary

tribe people with machetes kidnapping

people. Jungles suck. I don't like

jungles. I like nice forests,

and that's what Khao Yai was like. Had a

lot of forests, like foresty forests.

But most of Thailand just has like jungly

jungles, which I don't like. Makes me

think of the Vietnam War.

Oh, thanks, Dirt McGirt.

No, I mean the final trip.

In Thailand before I leave.

I'm not saying we're breaking up. I need

to cut my damn hair. Looks like a mess.

It's weird, just a month ago it looked so

nice and neat. In just a month of growth,

it just gets out of control.

Final trip, so you're breaking up?

No. Speakers are pretty good on this,

aren't they? I didn't like the speakers on

the MacBook Pro. It sounded too boomy,

like there's too much bass. I had to

download an app to turn the bass down,

but on this laptop, the speakers are great

just out the box. I hate bass. Why does

Apple think bass is good? Why does Apple

think they're like some kind of music

company? Oh, we got iTunes and we made the

iPod. No one cares about music. Well, I

don't. And then they think, oh, we've got

the best speakers for music. I don't care

about music. I need my speakers so I can

watch YouTube videos and podcasts where

I'm listening to someone talk. I don't

want them talking and it's like woo woo

woo in the background whilst they're

talking. I don't want bass. I hate bass.

Even when I got— I got a subwoofer when I

was younger because, you know, I kept

hearing, oh, you need bass to enjoy music.

So I bought a big subwoofer and I tried

playing music with it and it just made the

music sound crap. I couldn't hear the

clarity of the instruments, became less

because of the sound of the bass. I hate

These speakers are much better. No bass.

People like bass because they can feel the

music. It vibrates through,

through the body. I don't want that.

Don't want to be vibrated.

MacBook Pro speakers suck.

Dark. She's not going to trust you.

She'll be on the phone crying every day.

I don't know, she does insist

on phoning a lot, but I don't know how

we're going to do it with the time

difference. She'll be in Washington. What

time is it there now?

It's 9 PM now,

so if we're gonna phone, it would be like

around now, wouldn't it?

But in the evening, it's gonna be the

middle of the night.

I'm really happy with this computer

actually now. It looks good, stream's

good. I'm using less than 1% of the CPU

for the stream, zero dropped frames,

8,000 kilobits per second.

It's a lot of kilobits.

Plus I can game on it. I get game anxiety

not being able to game with a MacBook.

Oh wow, thanks, Jer, but I miss you. I

want to have cereal with you. Wow, sorry,

but I'm a loyal boyfriend.

Whoops.

Doubt she'll trust you given the last

incident. Yeah, maybe.

I think she does trust me.

What are some video games you like right

now? I really like Total War: Warhammer 2.

I had this amazing battle. I was

outnumbered nearly 4 to 1. I had about

1,200 men and And I was fighting this—

what was it? Like, uh,

like another human faction, and they had

nearly 4,000 men. But I had 4 batteries of

Hellfire missiles and 2 mortars, and they

just had masses of infantry, and I just

destroyed them as they were marching

towards me. Wiped them all out with

artillery. And then I had like 4 units of

handgunners and I just mowed them down.

Idiots. I want to have cereal with you. I

want your seed in me. Let's have cereal in

the park or whenever you want. Okay,

if I have to, but if my girlfriend gets

mad, then it's your fault.

I had a modern military army with

artillery gunners, and they just brought

swordsmen, and they got mowed down.

It was just a massacre.

I got bored of Red Dead Redemption. The

story's boring, the missions were boring

as well. It's just go to the checkpoint,

talk to a man, follow him on his horse,

Whilst they talk about— they do some

banter whilst on the horse. They go and

meet someone. It's either we need to get

the money back and then beat him up to get

the money back, or we need to find out

where he's gone and then find out where

he's gone and then kill some bandits.

It's just boring after a while.

The missions are very repetitive, but the

atmosphere and the ambience is very

relaxing. I think you gotta play it to

relax, enjoy the nature, the banter,

chat with the other NPCs, do, do some

hunting. It's not really like an exciting

game.

Did you milk Baldur's Gate? No, I still

refuse to play it because it's so boring.

But surprisingly, Baldur's Gate 3 is still

the most trending game. I keep trying to

Google Trends, I keep searching in Google

Trends different games, I can't find any

game that's more popular than Baldur's

Gate. Baldur's Gate is still the most

trending game, and I've made

like 3 videos about it and they've all

done really well, and I haven't even

played it. I did one video called Do Not

Buy, got 40k. I made another video called

Why I Hate Baldur's Gate, got 20k. And

then I made another one called Why

Baldur's Gate Doesn't Deserve Game of the

Year, got 5k. So imagine the views I could

get if I actually played it. I did play 2

hours and I refunded it, but it was so

boring.

It's like XCOM but with RPG fantasy

elements. You select the enemy

and then you choose an attack and then

they go and do it and then you end your

turn. I just, I can't get into it for some

Wow, thanks Miles. Your streams are so

white, it's awesome you can identify.

Well, I am white. Look how white I am.

I'm the whitest Asian. Daniel, your

streams are so white, it's awesome. You

can identify as anyone you want. You mean

you can't see any whiteness in my face?

Come on,

look at my eyes. They're very brown and

big.

My eyes look smaller because my glasses

make it smaller. If I take my glasses off,

my eyes are much bigger. No Asian has eyes

this big. You saw me next to Hong

Kong guy Chihiro. My eyes are way bigger

and they're browner. Most Asian people

have like very dark brown, almost black

eyes. I got a hint of green. You can't see

How can you not see? I think you're just

race blind if you can't see my whiteness.

I got the double eyelid as well. My eyes

don't look anything like real Asian

people's eyes. Real Asian people's eyes

are way smaller, usually monolid.

The problem is my dad didn't have a very

strong face. He had like very normal nose,

not big or anything. You know why Joey

looks weird? It's because he's got a

big-ass nose from his dad. Have you seen

Joey's dad in his videos? He's got a

massive nose bridge. Like, his nose bridge

is like Like a Turkish person's nose

bridge. And Joey has that, which is what

makes him not look very Asian. Asian

people don't generally have a massive nose

bridge with like big eyebrow, big eyebrow.

What's it called? Like strong eyebrow

ridge. So that's why Joey looks kind

of non-Asian. But my dad had very normal

nose, not big, not small. He had normal

lips. He had just— he just looked like a

normal face. He didn't have any

outstanding features. You've seen my dad,

haven't you? There's like nothing about

his face that was very strong that

would carry over into my face.

The, the weird— I mean, the things that

stood out the most about my dad were his

long slender fingers, which I have.

My fingers look just like my dad's. But

you know, when it comes to deciding

someone's race, all that matters is their

face. Like Keanu Reeves, people think he's

white, don't they? When he has— he doesn't

even have any white parents. His parents

are like Hawaiian-Japanese something, but

everyone thinks of Keanu Reeves as a white

guy.

I've seen some white people, they got very

Asian-looking eyes, like angled Asian

eyes, which looks kind of interesting.

Markiplier looks white?

No, he looks whiter

than me, I guess you could say.

I got like a very Southeast Asian nose,

very round and wide. I get that from my

I do wish I had a slender nose like K-pop

people. I don't like my round nose.

I got like the PewDiePie nose. But

PewDiePie is 100% white and he's also got

a very wide nose. I've heard him talk

about how he doesn't like his nose because

it's really wide.

I don't like my damn tooth. I keep biting

myself. I don't know,

look, it's too pointy. I keep biting my

lip when I'm eating.

Finally, my wound started healing up here.

Look, it used to be massive.

It was so painful. I bit it twice in the

same place because you bite it once and it

swells up, and then you bite it again

because now it's bigger and more of a

target.

I just get— I get triggered when people

say you're not British, you're not

English, you never will be. I feel like

I'm being personally attacked.

What are you saying? What do you mean I'm

not English? What am I then? I'm Chinese?

When I've never even been to China. Okay,

that makes sense. Not. How can I be

Chinese? I don't speak Chinese. I was

never exposed, exposed to the culture

much. Just my mum.

But she didn't really, like, force it upon

me and my sister. Chinese culture. I don't

speak the language. I was never born and

raised in China. I don't like the culture

or understand it. How am I Chinese?

Stupid.

I'm not Malaysian. Even my mum's not

Malaysian. She's Malaysian-Chinese,

but she grew up in a Chinese household,

not a Malaysian one, so I wouldn't really

consider her Malaysian.

I don't think she even went to a Malay

school. All her friends are also Malaysian

Chinese, like Victoria's mum. Victoria's

mum is my mum's friend and she's also

So if you're Malaysian Chinese, you kind

of grow up in a Chinese bubble. You know,

Malaysia is probably the most racially

segregated country. They really don't

assimilate. They just kind of keep to

their own people.

Race is all about if you had to fill out a

police report. Race is all about if you

had to fill out a police report. It's

like, what did they look like? How tall

were they? Etc. Yeah,

and if people want to describe me they

should say Asian guy because

I don't really expect people to be able to

tell that I'm mixed because most people

can't tell. But if they say, oh, he's the

Chinese guy, then I'd be pissed because

I'm not Chinese, I'm English. But I don't

want people to say, oh, he looks English.

You can't look like a nationality.

It's like saying, oh, he looks American.

What does that mean? So is he Hispanic,

white, or black? No one says,

can you describe what he looks like? Oh,

he looks American. What does that mean?

It could be anything then.

America is the only country where this

doesn't apply because it's

so mixed over there. You can

look Irish. Yeah. When I think of Irish

people, I think Conan O'Brien, like very

pale and ginger, because those were

the true original Brits before, you know,

the Romans invaded and then William the

Conqueror invaded. Before that, the true

British people were the Celts, and they're

very pale and ginger and very

freckly. But then the UK just got

invaded and conquered so many times. You

know, I've actually got 15% French and

German DNA, so my dad probably

had 30% French and German. The French and

German— the Anglo-Saxons came from

Germany, from a place called Saxony.

I, I forget the timeline. I think it's

like originally the Celts lived in

the UK, and then the Anglo-Saxons invaded

and moved there,

and then the Romans came,

and then William the Conqueror in 1066.

So British people in England, they're all

going to be mixed. They'll have like a

mixture of French, German, maybe even

Italian from the Romans. And then the

ginger people, they're like the true OG

Brits that managed to hide away in the

Highlands of Scotland and stuff without

getting conquered because Scotland wasn't

really conquered. The Romans tried to

conquer it. They just couldn't. It was too

wild. It would have taken too much

resources, so they just built Hadrian's

Wall to like shut it off. I don't think

they really bothered with Ireland.

They just kind of stuck to England, and

then they mixed with the local population.

The UK history is very complicated.

Because they— we got invaded and conquered

so many times.

Japan, on the other hand, is much simpler

because I don't think Japan ever got

invaded and conquered. The Mongols were

about to invade, but then there was like a

tsunami or a storm that prevented them

from doing it.

Yeah, I guess they, they got invaded by

America, but America didn't really like

try to completely redesign— I mean,

America did redesign the country in terms

of its political system and economic,

economic system. But they didn't like ban

the Japanese language and then immigrate

millions of Americans to Japan like the

Roman Empire did. They just kind of

defeated the Japanese military and then

they set up some military bases and then

they created the democratic government

that it has today.

But they just like keep to themselves on

the military bases.

My new video is doing really well. It got

number 1. Surprised. Maybe I should

make more videos about race. Like why

Japan importing foreign

workers is a bad idea.

Apparently convenience stores in Tokyo are

now almost all foreign workers—

Vietnamese, Indonesian,

Indian. I remember I livestreamed,

I went to some convenience store And the

guy serving me was white and I was like,

okay, do I speak in English now?

And I said to him, do you speak English?

Because I didn't know what to do. It's so

awkward talking to a foreigner in Japanese

when you know they probably speak English,

but they think I'm Japanese. I swear

foreigners think I'm Japanese if they

don't hear me talk.

One time I was working in Lawson, 2011,

these 2 foreigners, Americans, came in and

I was kind of confused as well.

Do I talk to them in Japanese even though

they're American? But I never served

customers speaking English. What do I say?

Yeah, maybe I'll do more racial topics.

The one about Joey did really well as well

and got over 5K views. It's funny, 5K

views to me is doing well now. Back in the

day, I would have deleted a video that

only got 5K views. How the times have

changed.

Did you think Joey watched the video?

That would be funny. I'm annoyed though

because Even though I put Joey in the

hashtag and the Anime Man in the title, I

didn't get any views from search results

saying his name. I got like 1% Joey

Bazinga in the search results, which means

like 20 views. I don't know why, but my

videos are not getting picked up in the

search results anymore. Maybe my channel

was really shadowbanned.

Even my Japanese earthquake video didn't

get any search results from Japan or

earthquake. It's just my regular viewers

watching it. Yeah, my only viewers are

just my regular viewers. I'm kind

of worried about that. But then

how can you say I'm shadowbanned? Because

my PewDiePie video is still getting views.

I go into my analytics and the

PewDiePie video still gets like 500

or 600 views every day.

And that's a video I made over a year ago,

almost a year ago. Look, my top performing

video is the PewDiePie having a kid in

Japan video and Elden Ring.

In the past month, my most successful,

well-performing 2 videos were Elden Ring

and PewDiePie. So obviously it's still

showing up in search results if people are

finding it. It's just no one's finding my

new content, my recent content.

I don't get it. The Anime Man made a video

about the earthquake. He got like 300K

views. Sora the Troll made a video about

the earthquake. He got like 200k views.

I don't know why I can't even get 10k

What happened to your Star Wars Episode 8

review video? I don't remember making

one, did I?

I could check. I gotta log into YouTube

again. I can't be bothered.

Then you're trying to make money off

natural national disasters. Well,

everyone else is. The Anime Man said,

oh, there's ads going on my video, but I

will donate to the Earthquake Foundation

however much I made on this video. Yeah,

I made like $10. I'm not getting

rich off a disaster.

Um, John Daub, Only in Japan, he made a

load of videos about it too. And Nobita

made a video about earthquakes.

Everyone's making videos now about

earthquakes. I bet you anything Chris

Broad is working on his earthquake video,

and it's gonna be like, oh, living in

Japan, you have to constantly worry about
