Testing. Hello.

I found out how to boost the microphone

volume, so hopefully it's louder than last

time. You have to go— you right-click on

the volume button and press go to

settings, and then you go— you click on

the microphone and there's input volume,

and it was at 50, so I cranked it up to

100. Maybe it's too

Okay, I think it's working. I still

don't have my mic stand. I ordered one,

one of those arm things like that.

I think it's coming today, but I need it

so unfortunately won't have it until the

next stream. And I also got—

oh yeah, I ordered HDMI capture card

so I could play Switch games on my laptop

and maybe also stream it.

Can't wait to get my mic stand. I'm gonna

clamp it here and then just have it up

there when I'm not streaming. Then when

I'm streaming, I'll just swing it in. But

for today, I Uh,

how about that water bottle mic stand?

Actually, it kind of works.

So you might be wondering why I'm

streaming on Sunday and where's my

girlfriend. Uh, girlfriend, she's at work

because, um, in Thailand

today they're having voting elections for

the new prime minister. And she had to go

to her province to vote because she, she

isn't registered in Bangkok.

And also she's doing like a shift at work

too today to make some extra money because

we're broke.

So I got all day alone.

I keep getting all these pimples around my

lip, like the ridge of my lip. It's very

uncomfortable.

You're watching Ice in India? Yeah,

I watched the first few days, but to be

honest, I'm getting a bit bored of it.

And I don't know why.

It's not as interesting as the Japan

streams. Maybe just because I'm not

interested in India.

India is a pretty boring country.

I tried watching Trash Taste again and Oh

my god, they were just non-stop talking

about poop and shaving armpits and

plucking nose hair. It's like they really

run out of things to talk about. All they

do is talk about their bodies and pooping

all the time. It gets kind of old.

Don't really want to hear about the

shape and the texture of Connor's poop or

whether Joey shaves his armpit or not.

It's just weird topics now.

So does the sound sound good?

It's just weird topics now.

Yeah, pretty good. The water bottle mic

stand. I like it when they talk about

what it's like being a YouTuber,

struggles of being a YouTuber, life in

Japan. They're like a

bunch of— I— it sounds like they're old

men or very young kids just talking about

poop and stuff.

Okay, so what happened since my last

stream? Last stream was like over a week

ago now. What happened with

Tiger? Nothing really, depends Since

from when are you asking? We're still

together. Everything is kind of okay, I

Sometimes we have like a bit of— I

wouldn't say an argument, but like a

difficult talk.

I mean, she has heard a lot of things I've

said on stream that I was hoping she

didn't hear. Which is kind of awkward,

but all I can do is say sorry. Didn't

think you would find out.

Your shirt is cool. Oh, thanks. I got it

at Muji. I actually lost all of my shirts

when I had to evacuate Japan because I was

in a rush. I left a lot of my clothing

behind. Left my favorite white Malaysia

t-shirt behind. I got 2 new shirts at

Uniqlo, but I don't like them. They've got

like this tight high collar which is too

hot for Thailand. I really like this

shirt, it's baggy. I got L size.

Some people say, oh, it doesn't fit you.

Yeah, but it's comfortable. You don't

really want tight-fitting clothing in

Thailand, so I think slightly extra

large clothing than what you would usually

get is good because it lets the airflow I

want to get another one of these shirts.

So I wasted my money again on those 2

shirts in Uniqlo, and I bought jeans which

I left in Japan. So I keep wasting money

on clothing and either ditching them or

getting the wrong size by accident. Also,

I don't like when I lift my arms up, the

Uniqlo t-shirts reveal my belly, so it

feels like they're kind of short. Burger

Planet is also in Thailand. I would never

want to meet Burger Planet. He seems so

annoying. He just never stops talking.

Seems like Sam Pepper is living in

Thailand too, not just visiting, but just

actually living here. I don't

know about Sam Pepper. At first I didn't

like him. I found his accent annoying,

but I watched a bit more of him on Ice

Streams and he seems okay once you get

past the accent.

Like, he seems, he seems smart about

the things and the way he talks about

stuff when it comes to business and the

streaming world and the entertainment

world. He probably knows his stuff

considering he was a pretty big YouTuber

back in the day. But he does seem like a—

I mean, it's kind of funny when he

confronts people. He's very strongly

opinionated and he's not scared to voice

his opinion. I am feeling like

I like him more.

I like it when Ice and Sam start arguing

about who has the better setup.

Mother's Day tomorrow in America. I'm

pretty sure in the UK it's in March,

Mother's Day. I finally unblocked my mom

cuz I met my sister last week— well,

this weekend, yesterday and Friday. She

said, Daniel, unblock Mom, she's upset.

So I said, okay, I guess I could.

I'm not going to make any more videos

about Chihiro, so there's no reason for my

mom to start whining again. There's no—

there's nothing to talk about Chihiro, so

I'm not gonna make videos about her

anymore. Plus, they only get good views

if there's some Chihiro drama. Maybe it'd

crack 10K views again, but Chihiro's

disappeared. She doesn't want to give me

any more content. She deleted everything.

She doesn't post videos anymore. There's

literally nothing to say. So I

unblocked my mom.

Um, my sister came to Thailand on Friday—

no, Thursday.

So I'm— we met her on Friday and

yesterday. It was nice.

And her boyfriend came on Friday. We went

to I

forgot where we went. Oh my God,

where did we go? Oh, we met up in Paragon

Shopping Center and then we went to a

cafe, got some desserts and coffees, and

then just had a chat. And then we went to—

oh yeah, we took them to this street

market, food marketplace. We had some

beers. And then walked around

a bit and then took them back to the

hotel. And then last night we went to

Central World and I suggested we go to

yakiniku, all-you-can-eat. And then we

went bowling and then we said goodbye.

Yeah, it was fun. I actually won at

bowling. My fingers hurt now. We had 2

games of bowling. First game my girlfriend

won and then second game I won. Turns out

I'm pretty good at bowling. I realized the

trick is the finger work when you release

the bowl— the ball.

Whether you get a strike or a good hit or

not all depends on how you do your fingers

when you release the bowl— ball. Keep

calling it a bowl because it's called

bowling.

Should buy precious metals. I already

have. My biggest holding is in Barrick

Gold, and they produce gold and copper and

some other metals.

Does your mum and sister think you're a

sexpat because you live in Thailand? I

don't think they even know what the word

sexpat means. Scam Pepper is a

millionaire. He said he has all his money

tied up in assets like watches and

jewelry. Yeah, he probably has

a lot of money, but it's tied up in things

because he was telling Ice he's

struggling. He will struggle to be able to

pay for the tuk-tuk because he set aside a

budget. I don't know, he's got like crypto

wallets and all this and that. Who knows

what his money's in.

I think he's probably pretty well off.

Why are you broke? I mean, look at my

YouTube channel views. I can't even get 5K

views now. Regular hiding my room content

gets like 4K views now.

At least before it'd get 8 to 10K views.

It's like my core audience got chopped in

half again. 50% cut,

another 50% gone. Soon another 50% gone.

We're gonna be down to like— hiding my

room content is gonna get like 2K views on

average soon. It's sad.

No, I don't want to buy actual precious

metals and then what, like bury my gold

bars in the garden?

What happened to my alerts?

Oh, there it is. Oh, thanks, Jacko.

Oh, don't say that.

Being dead looks boring. I wish

I was younger. Me and my girlfriend

last night, we were showing each other

pictures of ourselves when we were

younger. It's kind of sad. I mean,

10, 15 years ago, we were both So good

looking. Although I don't think she likes

how I looked back then. She was like, uh,

I don't think I would have dated you back

then. I looked like a weirdo. Like, I had

long anime hair, my face was a lot

smaller. I looked kind of gay. I looked

really feminine back then. I think a

lot of women wouldn't have wanted to date

me when I was like 20, 21. I look weird.

You go back to my oldest video back in

2015. I look weird, didn't I?

I think as I got older, I look a little

bit less gay.

Actually, my girlfriend once she said she

wants to make a video for me explaining

why I'm a good person. She said she

doesn't like my viewers because they say

horrible things to me. And I said, well,

I kind of have to make content that makes

people think I'm horrible to get them to

click it. And she doesn't understand why.

I don't understand why either. People

don't care when I try to be normal and not

a dick, but when I'm like, hey guys, I'm a

massive dick, they're more interested in

my videos.

She said she wants to make a video

explaining that I'm a good guy, I'm a

normal guy. I don't know, people would be

like, oh, Daniel forced his girlfriend to

make this. Or they'll say,

poor girl, she doesn't know what the real

Daniel's like.

Plus, I don't think people would really

care anymore. It'd get 5K views max.

If I incorporate my girlfriend more into

the channel, maybe it would boost the

views a bit, but I don't really feel like

it would increase the views by much.

I probably have to turn the comments on to

review only so I don't get— I don't

let the bad comments slip through.

Just allow, approve the good comments

Also, I don't like having to rely on my

girlfriend to get views. One of the things

I really hated about my ex-wife was the

feeling of needing her to get views, and

it felt like this whole channel is like

the Chihiro channel now and I'm the

cameraman. Only the stuff with Chihiro

would get views, and then my own stuff

would get half the views. And that was

annoying me.

Maybe we could do a livestream together,

but I could give her the second mic.

I don't know how that would work with 2

mics. She could go and sit over there. I

don't really want her to be on camera

because I'm worried people are gonna make

fun of her or something. Plus,

if it's live, it's hard to moderate the

comments whilst being live. Because you're

boring? Yeah, well,

that's what you're stuck with. Boring old

Did you get more views when you filmed in

Japan recently? Well, I didn't really

make— no, I did, I did make 3 videos and

they got like 7 or 8K views, plus the

angry Japanese man got 10K.

I guess it's slightly more, just by a

couple thousand views.

Do I have actual hobbies? Uh, yeah, I like

cooking. I like playing video games. I

like reading about new gaming tech

and stuff. I want to become a tech

channel, but so expensive to get the tech

to review. I want to get the ROG Ally,

the new gaming handheld, but it's, it's

like $600. And to be able to break even,

I'd need maybe 100 or 150K views.

I have the new Zelda game. I was playing

it yesterday.

I don't see how it's different to the

first game. It seems exactly the same.

I'm pretty sure in Breath of the Wild you

could also use telekinesis to move objects

around, couldn't you? The only difference

I see so far is you can fuse weapons

together to make like a weird Custom

weapon. I guess that's

kind of new and unique, but it gets

old.

So you can have a spear and then fuse

another spear to it to have a really long

spear. I don't see how it's different to

the first game. An evil thing has

taken over the castle. And cast darkness

over the lands, and the people are living

in fear. You must save them, and there are

monsters roaming the landscape. It's

exactly the same. You ride around Hyrule

Kingdom, the same monsters like the weird

pig-looking monsters are there, the same

skeletons spawn at night. You do

the cooking thing, the climbing thing.

You unlock the new abilities from doing

dungeons. It's exactly the same. I don't

see how it's different at all. It's like

they just remade the same game. But it's

been a long time since I played Breath of

the Wild, so I've kind of forgotten what

happened. I guess it's okay to replay

I swear every Zelda game is exactly the

same. With like one or two new little

gimmicks.

I don't know what else they could do

really. Make a Zelda game that's not in

Hyrule Kingdom, but then what? That would

be boring. So I feel like they ran

out of ideas.

The graphics look terrible. I bought a

dock plugged into the TV and you can

really see how bad the graphics are with

the big screen, so I prefer playing it

handheld. The graphics are so bad, low

res, like jagged edges on everything, the

shadows all jagged and rough looking.

It's a pretty bad looking game after

playing stuff like Elden Ring.

It is fun.

Just running around, killing stuff,

exploring the dungeons. Oh yeah,

you get some new abilities like Ascend.

You can go directly up into a platform and

then emerge on the other side. You can

control time, rewind time, just like very

generic puzzle-solving magic stuff.

I got an email about my mic setup. What?

Hey, this is a little random, but I'm

wondering if you can tell me what mic and

recording software you use. I watched your

recent Tears of the Kingdom video. And

notice there is no fuzzy hiss in your

audio. I've been trying to

get some guitar recorded for years, but

even with somewhat expensive setups, I get

this insane hiss. I have no idea, I just

randomly plugged in my mic.

If the guy is watching, I'm using a

wireless DJI mic.

Yeah, I noticed there's no like noise

hissing in the background. DJI mic.

Yeah, I noticed there's no like noise

hissing in the background. DJI mic. Oh,

there's a little bit.

These mics are pretty good actually.

I was using the Rode NT-USB Mini

for a few years, but it broke,

so I decided to use these mics, which I

thought was a waste of money because I

never really used them before. I never

used them before because people kept

complaining the sound was low, and they

don't work with my Samsung S10 Plus.

Apparently they don't work with

Exynos-type chipsets.

Was your sister not concerned given your

recent lifestyle? Concerned about what?

What is there to be concerned about?

Why don't you find normal work?

Because I'm pretty sure you need to speak

Thai to get a job here.

Oh yeah, speaking of learning Thai,

I'm gonna go back to school next month.

We found the school and I paid

£500 for a 6-month course.

So I'm gonna get a student visa. I'm gonna

have to go to school Monday to Friday for

3 hours.

Not really looking forward to it. I wanted

to learn Japanese because I'm lazy, but

they didn't have any open classes

available, so I had to choose Thai.

They said I can extend it to 12 months if

I pay again, but I chose 6 months first.

Will you make content out of it? No, I'll

talk about it. Oh, thanks, Blood. Hi

Daniel, I love the makeup brush setup.

Yeah, it's very fancy.

Getting a mic arm stand thing.

It might already be here downstairs, but I

need my girlfriend to get it for me. I

wish I could do my own shopping, but

Shopee, which is like Amazon for Thailand,

they won't accept my debit cards.

If you tell me you love me, I'll send $5.

Okay, I love you, Agua. Della Nosh.

Where's my $5? I was actually thinking,

uh, Tech Lead made a video about why he

doesn't want to work, so I thought I might

copy him. Why I refuse to get a job.

I'm scared of people.

My autism prevents me from getting a job

and holding it.

Got a message from my girlfriend.

Oh,

my girlfriend's currently at the voting

booth right now. You know, last night,

yesterday evening, they, they banned the

sale of alcohol from 6 PM, so we went to

yakiniku and we couldn't get any beerus.

Because of the election. Apparently it's

to stop people from getting drunk and then

rioting. So there's like an alcohol ban

until tonight, I think,

because they're voting for the new prime

Yeah, I think my new mic setup's pretty

good. People seem happy with the sound

quality. You're broke because you put no

effort into your videos? No, I'm broke

because my viewers won't view my videos.

4 years ago, I put the same amount of

effort and quality into my videos and

people thought they were amazing. They

were like, oh, I love your videos,

Daniel, they're so great. They didn't

complain about the quality back then.

Yeah, thanks, Agua. Love you

I don't know what effort I can put into

it. I bought a nice mic. This mic was not

cheap. This mic cost me £200 so

I could give you guys good quality audio.

I think the video quality is fine. Really

don't think you want to see me with

a DSLR or anything quality because my

skin is gross. You really want

to see like the crusty pimples and the

scars and my dry crusty lips? I'm doing

you a favor by filming on a crappy low-res

selfie smartphone cam.

And then the editing. I do a bit of

editing, like I put a bit of music, a bit

It's not the quality of the videos that

bored people, it's the content. Yeah,

there's no crazy wacky stories or

characters anymore.

How do you still get pimples in your

mid-30s? I don't know. I thought by the

time I'm this age, I'd stop getting

pimples. My girlfriend gets

pimples. She's mid-30s too.

My sister doesn't get pimples. Her skin's

pretty good. I don't know why. Oh yeah,

you know my hand thing with the itchiness

and the rash and the little bubbles that

appear under my skin? And then turn into

really itchy blisters. My sister's getting

it too. She's been here for a few days and

she said she's getting these itchy bumps,

and I said I get the same thing. So I

think it's like a genetic thing we share.

I have no idea, maybe the humidity making

her hands sweat or the water, because when

I was in Japan it started to clear up and

go away, and then I came back to Thailand

and it started come again, so I gotta

keep putting my corticosteroid cream on.

We must be allergic to something. I don't

know what it is. I'm not eating anything

different because I don't eat Thai food.

I eat the same food I eat anywhere I live.

I don't want weird drama content with

weird people. I tried that. I hated

it. Hong Kong guy probably pissed me off

more than any weird guy I've ever met in

my life. I'd rank number I'd rank Hong

Kong guy probably number 1 as the most

annoying person I've ever met. I swear to

God, I have never been more pissed off at

anyone. I'd rank him number 1 and like

Nepalese guy number 2, Scottish guy number

3. I don't care how many views it brings.

I don't want that ever again. Fucking

weirdo loser guys trying to interfere

with my personal life. Never again.

No, I'd rather let my YouTube channel die.

Allergic to hand soap or lotion? I don't

use hand soap, maybe the shampoo, but I

use like a mild sensitive skin shampoo.

I went to the pharmacy in Japan. She gave

me the same thing my girlfriend gave me,

a topical corticosteroid.

Now people kept saying, oh, I should

collab with so-and-so and meet so-and-so,

but I really don't want to.

I don't like meeting weird people.

I like meeting normal people,

so if I don't know what they're like

beforehand, then I don't want to risk

meeting them. I met

George because I know what George is like,

because I've been watching him for decades

when I was learning Japanese.

It's funny, I'm— I cry about people

bullying me for not being normal, and then

I'm so judgmental towards guys who are not

normal. Kind of hypocritical,

contradictory. But that is what

it is. It is what it is.

What is weird people for you? I don't

know, just people who have weird vibes.

I don't really want to associate with

weird people.

I know that's kind of rich coming from me,

but you

know, like mentally unhinged people. I

don't really want to meet them.

Because it just makes me feel sad.

Your whole Discord is filled with weirdos.

Yeah, and it annoys me sometimes. Like,

I'm trying to talk about something serious

and they just talk about willies and bum

holes.

I just want a normal conversation

sometimes. I mean,

I never really want to have a weird

conversation about bumholes or anything.

It's just stupid.

Today's Thai election day.

Yeah,

I have no idea about politics here.

Apparently last time there was like a

military coup.

Sounds kind of crazy.

Oh, my alert thing's not working. Since

you are alone again, will you be watching

gay porn again? Actually, I watched some

this morning. I like to Google Close-up

anal fuck.

I like the close-up, seeing the dick go in

and out. I'm kind of curious about gay sex

recently. It seems kind of hot,

but then the moment I see the guy's face,

I'm like, ugh,

or the guy's body.

But I wouldn't want to do it. Like, the

risk of getting HIV would scare me.

Imagine getting HIV.

What happens? You're on medication for

life, aren't you? You can't get rid of it.

You gotta take those pills for the rest of

your life. And then people would think

you're like, ugh, dirty, because you got

HIV.

That sounds scary.

So yeah, signed up for a school, 6 months.

It cost 20,000 baht.

So that's like 5, nearly £500

or nearly $600. And my reasoning was

Thai Elite Visa would cost,

um, nearly $3,000 per year,

whereas a student visa would be like

$1,000 for a year. So it's a third of the

price of an Elite Visa, plus I can learn

Thai, plus possibly meet people and get

some new stuff to talk about. And get out

of the house, go to a classroom. It's just

kind of annoying to get there. I think it

would take like 2 trains, or if I get

a taxi— if I get the taxi every day, it

would cost me like $100 a month.

But by taxi, it should only take about 25

minutes. The trains— we

don't have great connection to the trains

here. I need to take 2 transfers to get

to the place. It's like in the central

area of Bangkok, which to get there would

take me— I would have to change trains

multiple times. Or I could get a bicycle.

Sounds kind of dangerous.

I think it would take me an hour to get

there by train.

So I'm not sure what to do.

I thought I could ask my girlfriend to

drop me off. I feel like my mum taking me

to school now. I felt like she was my mum

taking me to school, talking to the

teacher. It felt kind of weird.

Had to fill out all these forms, sign my

name like 20 times. It's because they're

going to send off the application form to

get me a visa. So you gotta wait. She said

you gotta wait 4 weeks for the

application, and then you'll come to class

next month. And then I have to go to

immigration by myself to receive

the visa.

And then I do 2 months course, and then I

don't know what happens to the remaining 4

months. It's a 6-month visa, but the

course is only 2 months.

And then if I want to stay longer, she

said I can continue studying and extend it

by another 6 months. So I thought I'd just

pay for 6 months first.

Gotta learn Thai language alphabet.

The problem is I actually have to learn it

to pass exams, otherwise I could get in

trouble. They do, they do a

checkup test to make sure you're actually

taking the studying seriously. Because

before, schools would just take money,

get people a visa, not really care if the

student even comes to class. But the

government was not happy with it, so they

got strict on the schools. Don't know why

they care.

The schools don't care, they just want the

money. They don't really care if the

student is serious about studying or not.

I should have learned Thai cooking course.

Yeah, I don't know,

it just seems like there's more

information about language courses.

Maybe learning Thai is a good idea. I

really don't feel like I'm gonna get to a

level where I can have a conversation in

Thai. I'll learn like basic grammar, how

to read. Maybe I can say some basic

things. Imagine my Thai skill

overtakes my girlfriend's English skill.

How much I lose while on stocks?

Like $15K. You know Jeremy from Financial

Education? He finally sold his Tattooed

Chef that he's been raving on about for

the past 2 years about how amazing it is.

He lost over a million dollars. Oh, I

can't believe it.

I also lost a bit because I invested in

Tattooed Chef as well, thinking he was

making sense with what he was saying. But

thank God I sold it ages ago. I sold

Tattooed Chef when it was like $17. Now

it's $1. It's going to be under a dollar

soon. They're probably going to go

bankrupt.

You didn't want to get a marriage visa?

Uh, I don't really think marriage is

a great idea. Maybe later,

because last time it didn't work out so

great, did it? Rushing to get married

after just knowing each other for a few

months. I don't know why Chihiro didn't

say to me, why don't you get a student

visa? That sounds like a much better idea

than just rushing to get married.

I don't have $150,000 to

lose. I never had that much money.

Yeah, Chihiro forced me to marry her. She

was like, Dino, if you don't marry me,

then you— we have to break up.

It's all her idea. I didn't want

to get married. I was actually planning to

go to Korea.

Oh, thanks, Teapot. I don't

know what— @Sushi makes a video about

getting a new frying pan and gets 100K

freaking views. And people say my

content's boring.

@Sushi gets a new laundry rack and gets

80K views. Oh,

thanks, Junkers. Willies and bum

Yeah, my willy's fine. Had a bit of a

problem in Japan, but it's cleared up now.

Just got to keep it clean. Never go to

sleep without cleaning it. It's not hard

to clean, just pull the foreskin back,

rub it a little bit. But when you

don't clean it and wake up the next

morning and clean it, you'll get an

infection.

A sushi vlog should make up with shishi.

Mhm. Mhm. Willies and bum

holes, just saying.

Mhm. Who loves

willies and bum holes?

It's frustrating because there's so much

boring content on YouTube that gets good

views. So why, why can't

I make boring content and get away with

I want to make boring lazy stuff, get like

200K views.

That's the dream, isn't it? Just sit in

the room, make a video about your new

frying pan, get 100K views. Who wants to

be 24/7 streaming in hot sweaty India

surrounded by weirdos? I want to do lazy

content,

but nope,

not so fortunate.

Oh, thank you. Thanks for the willy

update, Daniel. Made my day.

Glad to satisfy you.

Take care. Sam wrote a long thing in his

Discord about it. Oh yeah, I saw his

comment. He wrote a massive comment. A lot

of people wrote very long comments on that

video. Some people were accusing

me of trolling. Um,

I wouldn't say I was trolling.

And sometimes I do wonder if I have autism

and it would explain a lot of things.

Like why I say weird things that

upset people without feeling bad about it.

I guess it would explain a lot of things,

so I wouldn't really say it was a troll or

fake video.

Maybe I'll do my struggles with being gay

next, or my struggles being a

massive narcissist. I just do like a topic

on every mental disorder and put my life

struggle with being a racist. Hey guys,

I'm a racist, but I didn't choose to

be. It's just sometimes I dislike people.

I don't know if that would get me in

trouble with YouTube though. Why I became

an A narcissistic racist.

I'm not racist. Maybe.

Well, my Legend of Zelda video is doing

pretty well. It's, um,

getting the search result views, which I

really need it. It's just a bit scary

because the game cost me, what, $70? Uh,

the video so far has made $14, but the

graph looks good. The search results are

going whoosh like that. It's got 8K views

so far. Looking promising.

That's what I want to see. I want to see

those search results just take off like

that.

Oh, thanks, Dirt. Is Tears of the Kingdom

good? Honestly, I'd say

yeah, it's not bad. I'd give it a 6.2 out

of 10. It's not amazing or groundbreaking,

It's exactly the same as the first game,

Breath of the Wild. In your opinion, is

Tears of the Kingdom good? I say yes,

it's good, but it's a damn expensive game.

Let me check.

£57, I think it costs.

So $71.

I guess it's normal these days for games

to be $70.

There's no spoilers in my video because I

didn't even get past the tutorial. I

played the tutorial. I didn't— I think

when I made the video, I didn't even

unlock any of the abilities like Fuse,

Ascend. I played the tutorial for like

2 hours and then made the review because I

needed to get my video out quick. It's all

about timing and speed with the review

I'll make another one, like an updated

one, after I've played it for a bit.

I need to make one for the second channel

too. I want to play it on Twitch when I

get my capture card. In a few days, I'm

gonna stream it on Twitch.

Maybe it would have been cheaper if I just

bought the game cartridge in Thailand in

the shopping center, but I needed the game

as quickly as possible.

Yeah, game reviews are all about the

algorithm and get— getting your review out

as quickly as possible whilst it's peak

hype. You got to cash in on the hype. You

make a review a month from now, it won't

get any views. No one cares anymore.

Become an unboxing channel? Well, I would

have to buy the stuff to unbox,

so it'd cost me more money than what I'd

make from the videos unless they went

super viral. Then I'd be stuck with a load

of crap as well.

Buying the game cartridge would probably

be cheaper, plus I could sell it when I

finish it, but then I have to go to the

shop, so I just downloaded it.

It's kind of hard thinking of topics now.

I just have to talk about jobs,

anxiety,

I don't know, like personal stuff. But

I've already talked about everything so

much already.

It's just like making the same kind of

video over and over again, year after

Maybe I can teach English in Thailand.

Don't know. People keep asking me what

would I do if YouTube fails,

and I honestly don't know. What's my plan

for YouTube? What's my plan for the

future? I don't know. I don't have any

plans. My plan is to curl up into a ball

and cry in the fetal position.

Everything I tried has failed. Stocks,

YouTube,

dropshipping. What else did I do?

Do I have a Kick channel? No.

Unless, unless Kick recommends

me and then I magically get a new

audience, I don't see the point of doing

Kick. The thing is, I don't have any

content to attract people,

and there's not really much going on with

me these days.

There's a new tab on YouTube now where you

can pay to promote your videos. So you

go on to— where is it? You go on to

Content and you click Promotions,

and you can pay Google AdWords to Boost

your videos. Grow your channel's

popularity and engagement by promoting

your videos on YouTube. Running a

promotion helps attract new viewers who

can boost your subs, views, likes, and

engagement. I thought it'd be funny if I

So I'm making money from ads and then

spending the money on my own ads.

I doubt it would work. If it was that

easy, then everyone would just pay for

ads. But you need to be making more money

than what you spent on the ads.

I think, um, you should be able to pay to

push out all your videos. I mean, push out

your new video to all of your subs and

like force all your subs to see

the notification of your new video. But

I'd probably end up losing like 80,000

people because they'd remember they're

subbed to me and then unsub. All the

people who are subbed to me who don't

watch anymore would probably prefer to be

unsubbed, but they forgot. They probably

completely forgot that they're subbed to

me, or they died.

I have YouTube Premium. Does that help?

Yeah, I get money from YouTube Red— I

mean, YouTube Premium. So if

you watch using YouTube Premium, then I

get money as well.

You never really seem interested in

improving.

Because it's hard. My sister said that

yesterday. She said, why don't you make

videos about improving something? Your

viewers want to see you grow and improve.

And I know, but I

don't know what to do. I'm trying to go to

the gym, but no one really cares about me

working out. I'm actually

losing motivation to do that.

Kind of don't really care anymore about

lifting weights. I don't

know, I feel kind of lost what I want to

work on.

What should I work on? I learned to drive.

No one cared. They just said, oh,

everyone can drive, Daniel. It's not

Improve my videos? How? I honestly don't

know how to improve my videos.

Workout stream. I can't

because I can't film in the gym.

Make videos that you want to make.

I don't know what I want to make. I want

to vlog, but everyone keeps telling me

don't film. Like, I would have liked to

film my sister and make

like a vlog with my sister in Bangkok,

but she said don't film us.

I like just doing vlogs, daily vlogs, but

then everyone got so angry at me. My mum

said don't film, my sister said don't

film.

I could have filmed something yesterday,

but It would have been hard because my

sister would have been in the shot, and

then I would have had to edit it. I

couldn't be bothered.

Because there's a lot of weirdos who watch

my channel. They, they don't want

to be exposed to them, I guess.

Mila didn't want to be filmed.

I used to get so excited back in 2018 and

'19 to make a vlog. Do you remember the

Christmas vlog? Just film everything. My

mum, my dad. Those were the good

old days before people started telling me,

don't film this, don't do that, don't do

this. Kind of killed my spirit.

But people have their

jobs to protect, and they, they can't

be associated with this stuff because it

might jeopardize their job, and then the

trolls would find out where they work and

stuff like that.

I'll do a vlog when we go to Phuket.

Simple travel vlog.

But I still don't want to show my

girlfriend's face because I'm worried

people would find out who she is and

then cause trouble.

I wonder if any other YouTubers have this

problem where they have to worry about

trolls doxxing and causing trouble.

I will just always have this smaller group

of people that are obsessed with taking me

down and doxxing me and stuff. I think

it's probably just 5 or 6 people, but it

only takes one to be obsessive enough.

They're all from that stupid r/Happas

subreddit, like these fucking weirdos

obsessed with me.

They're probably like, they're probably

thinking, yeah, we won, we beat Daniel

because we doxxed him and harassed him.

Now he can't make videos with family and

stuff. Yeah, congratulations, you win.

That's why I'm stuck with having to just

film myself.

Round of applause to the trolls and the

haters. You win.

Can't show my place because I get doxxed.

Can't film people because they're scared.

So this is the content we're stuck with

because the trolls and the haters harassed

people I know, which makes them not want

to be part of my videos and stuff.

Why does r/Happiest hate you? 'Cause they

think I represent our people and I'm

like showing the world how much of a loser

I am and not improving or studying or

becoming an alpha male. So then

they're like trying to punish me or

Yeah, they got really angry at me because

I refuse to become a better person and I'm

like letting the team down, which is

stupid because no one thinks I'm half

Asian. You all think I'm like 100% Asian,

don't you? Does, does the idea

of mixed race and being half white, half

Asian ever come into your mind when you

think of me? Most people think I'm not

even white at all. Update me on this

livestream's video title, just dropped in.

What happened with the girlfriend, or is

this clickbait? I would never clickbait.

What happened to the bar donations from

your streamathon? Just asking, hahaha.

Oh, thanks. Um, firstly,

How's the internet's sexiest man doing

today? Oh, thanks, Gerbert. Uh,

first question, what happened

with the girlfriend? She is voting for the

new prime minister, so she's not here

today. Not clickbait, because I

am alone while she's away.

And, um, bar donations,

I don't have a new goal. I don't know what

my goal is, so there's no donation

goal for now.

Oh, thanks, Brony Morgan,

very generous.

Well, the r/Happiest community were the

first big community to find my channel.

Before that, I had like 200 subs, I was

getting 20 views,

and when the r/Happiest community found

me, it was the first time I cracked.

1,000 views, 2,000 views.

So they were like the biggest community

that found me first,

and they all hated me straight away

because I'm exactly what

they dislike about being half-Asian.

I represent everything they hate about

half-Asian males, you know, being weak,

feminine,

goofy-looking face. So they just took

all their hatred out on me.

And I kind of took advantage of it and,

and I trolled them. I put stuff out on

purpose to provoke them and

trigger them so that they would share my

video on the subreddit, because every time

I did that, they would share my video and

I'd get thousands of views and I was

making hundreds of dollars for the first

time on YouTube, and it was exciting. The

first time I was doing YouTube, I'd made

like $20 a month, and then I started

triggering r/habbas, and then I was making

like $250 a month, and I was like, oh my

God, this is the most money I've ever made

on the internet. So the more

I triggered them, the more views I'd get.

So that's what I went with.

And they would write out paragraphs and

essays in the comments about

why it sucks to be half Asian and why it

would have been better if I was never

born. All this emo stuff.

The, the downside was that I got these

weirdo troll people trying to dox me all

the time, trying to destroy my YouTube

income by harassing

my family and my girlfriends to

get me to stop being able to make content

about people, I guess. I guess

it worked. No one wants to be in my videos

I don't know if r/Happens is still going

or if the subreddit has grown and changed

from what it used to be like.

Do I miss England yet? Uh, not really.

I feel like if I went home,

I'd feel kind of sad. I'd feel like,

oh, here we go again, back, back home

again. My life made no progress again.

Fight with my mum again over coffee beans

or something stupid.

Stream Zelda? Yeah, I might do when I get

my capture card.

I like Thailand. We showed my

sister and her boyfriend around Bangkok

yesterday and the day before, and they

were, they were impressed with how

developed the city is. They thought, like

I did, that Bangkok is like some trashy

tourist trap Not very developed,

hot and dusty and sticky. But they were

surprised, like I was, how modern it is

and futuristic the city looks, especially

at night. It's like some cyberpunk

futuristic city sometimes, it seems like.

Bangkok's nice. It's way more developed

and modern looking than Osaka. The amount

of futuristic, cool-looking buildings is

loads.

I think it's a cool city.

Is it more developed and modern than KL?

I'd say yeah. My sister said

it's nicer than Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur

is, um, it has a

small section which is kind of like

Bangkok and developed and nice,

but Bangkok is just like 20 times that in

terms of size.

You go to Siam Station where Paragon and

Central World is, and that strip just

looks so cool. It's like you're in a

cyberpunk city.

I saw 4 Teslas, so there's a lot of Seems

like a lot of people— well,

not a lot, there's only 4, but I was

impressed with seeing 4 Teslas. Thought,

wow, they must be rich, they have a Tesla.

I don't know if I'd say Osaka looks

futuristic. All I can think

of now when I think of Osaka is the slum

and like the shitty old neighborhoods like

Tengachaya,

Nishinari, Tennoji, Shinsekai all

look so old and shitty.

Denden Town. No, I mean,

Bangkok looks better than most of Osaka.

Osaka is just nice in Umeda. Umeda and

Namba. Bangkok is

like Umeda times 20.

I spent too much time in the slum areas.

It's kind of soured

my taste of Osaka. I saw

too many homeless old Japanese men just

bumming around. It kind of ruined

my impression of the place.

Are you permanently over Japan?

I don't really care about Japan anymore.

I was feeling pretty crappy, actually,

the last few days in Japan. I was trying

to imagine my future if I stayed in Japan,

and it was like, oh my God, I'm going to

be worrying week after week

about which hotel I'm going to stay in,

spending thousands of dollars on expensive

hotels or living in a guesthouse.

Sharing a kitchen with 100 people, and it

just looked bleak.

Cycling all day long got old quickly.

And then I thought what my life would be

like in Thailand, and it just seemed way

better.

I feel sad for the Korean girl. I don't

really. I tried to put it to the

back of my mind. Yeah, it was a crappy

thing I did, but I had to think fast and
