[2022-11-02] good news everyone -) [zYu-5p_G428]

Testing,

testing.

Um.

Testing.

Um, at—

why don't my speakers work?

Aha, not used as a default Use as default.

Testing, testing.

Okay, I think it's working.

It's been such hard work trying to get a

new stream setup.

Setup in Thailand, but I think this is

pretty good.

I don't know why it's blue.

It looks like I'm in an aquarium.

I think I fixed the sound problems as

well.

Let me check audio test.

Testing, testing, testing.

I think I fixed the sound problems as

well.

Let me check.

Oh yeah, it sounds pretty good.

Let me test my sound effect.

Is that good?

Good sound effect.

Let me test my sound effects.

Okay, so the only other issue is the

connection.

Hopefully it

doesn't keep ending the stream like it did

last time.

It's fine when I stream on Twitch, so

hopefully it's fine when I stream on

YouTube.

Oh, I've had such a stressful day today.

Went to immigration at around—

I think I left the house or the apartment

at 9 AM in the morning, and now it's 3 PM.

So, oh, 6 hours!

It took me 6 hours to get my visa

extension.

Oh my God.

I can't believe it.

It was such a journey.

I was gonna do an IRL stream, but I just

feel so tired after my trek to

immigration.

I, I don't have enough energy to do an

outside stream,

so I'll just do a lazy inside stream with

Little window just showing my face.

I got this cool new blue effect.

I don't even know why it's blue because

there's no blue light in here.

I just shut the curtains.

Do you like the blue?

What was that sound?

Oh, is it just me breathing?

You need to cut your hair.

Yeah, I'm starting to

have to think about cutting my hair again.

Not just the hair on my head, the hair on

my everywhere is getting a bit long.

She got me some scissors, so maybe she

agrees that my hair is getting a bit long.

It was looking good.

The thing about my hair is it looks good

for about 2 weeks.

It's that sweet spot between not being too

short and not being too long.

But then it quickly goes into mushroom

area.

Now it's starting to get into mushroom

area where the sides just start getting

weird like that.

And then you gotta cut the sides, but then

you also cut the back, so you end up

having to cut the whole thing.

The blue light district.

Yeah, blue is the light they use.

I've only ever seen Japan use blue on

railway crossings.

They use a blue light because it's

supposed to help calm people in case

they're thinking of committing you know

what.

The blue light is supposed to help them

calm down and think more positively and

maybe change their minds.

Did I get a hooker in Bangkok yet?

No, I have a girlfriend.

Excuse me, do you think I look like the

kind of person who cheats on his partner?

That's just disgusting.

I can't believe you would think of me as

such a person.

So I went to immigration at 9 AM.

Someone told me which building to go to,

and when I Googled that building, everyone

in the review section of Google Maps was

saying, oh, it's now in this other place

called IT Square at Laksi Station.

So I thought, okay, um, maybe they've

moved to Laksi Station.

So I go to Laksi Station.

It takes me about half an hour on the

train, and And then I ended up walking for

30 minutes along this highway that has no

footpath.

And because there was no footpath for

segments of the highway, you had to go

under, under all these tunnels.

There's like this weird network of tunnels

going under the highway, and there were

like noodle shops and stuff, and people

with motorbikes pushing their motorbikes,

driving their motorbikes through these

tunnels because they want to get to the

other side.

It was really weird, like cyberpunk-ish.

Kind of setting.

They just had random noodle shops and

restaurants under a highway, like some

kind of goblin bridge.

It was kind of sketchy, but there was no

other way because unless you just walk on

the highway, which is like an 8-lane

highway where they go up to— I think they

go like 80 miles per hour on this road.

And it was the only straight line to this

IT— it's called the IT Tech Center, which

is where they had some immigration center

there as well, and that's where I thought

I had to go.

So I walked for about half an hour under

these underground tunnels underneath the

highway, and then also above on the

highway too where there was no footpaths.

And then I finally get there, and I get to

the immigration bit, and I fill out all

the papers.

And then after I finished filling out the

papers, I had to get photocopies of my

passport and had to get a photo taken.

And then after I finished doing all this

and and I line up, she says, this is the

wrong place, you're not supposed to be

here.

And then on the sign it says, for people

extending a tourist visa, we have now

moved to the IT center.

And I thought, but it says you've moved

here.

And so I go back to her and I said, I need

a tourist extension, it says here you've

moved here.

She kept saying, no, this is the wrong

place.

And then she pointed at a different

building, it's called the the immigration

complex building 1 or something.

It was nearby, about— I think it's like

half an hour to walk there.

But again, there was no footpaths.

I could see— I couldn't see any way to

walk there, so I just ended up getting a

Grab taxi, which is like their version of

Uber.

And it was such a pain because I thought,

because I, I'm standing on the right-hand

side of the road she's coming from the

left-hand side, so I thought I'd cross the

road and stand on the other side.

But she somehow gets onto the right-hand

side of the road by coming into a car

park, and then she phones me, and then

she's trying to say, I'm here, I'm here,

can you see me?

And I'm looking for a car, and it's like 5

minutes of me not really understanding

what she's saying and all this traffic

noise.

And then I could see her waving at me.

She got out of the car and she was waving

at me.

She kept saying Look left, look left.

I didn't know what she meant, so I finally

looked because I was looking around for a

car, not a person.

I saw her waving at me, and then she took

me in her taxi.

It was about a 20-minute taxi ride to the

other immigration,

costs about £2, so not too bad.

But then she drops me off on the wrong

side of the complex, which was my fault

because I didn't— I don't know why I put

the destination Not at the entrance of the

immigration place.

And then I had to walk about 20 minutes

all the way around this big building to

get to the actual entrance.

Oh, thanks, Lao Phew.

But isn't that cheating on my girlfriend?

And where do I get those anyway?

All the massage places I walked past look

like normal places.

So then I finally get to the immigration

place after, I think after over an hour

of, of on trains and taxis and walking and

being at the wrong place, I finally get to

the right place.

And then it's nearly 12 and I, I'm sitting

there waiting for them to call out my

number.

They nearly get my number and then 12

o'clock hits and an announcement says that

they're going to have a lunch break and

everyone has to leave.

So then I leave and I'm waiting until 1 PM

for lunch break to finish.

So I go to 7-Eleven, I get some food.

I end up sitting on the wrong side of the

building because the building is like a

dome, like a football pitch or something,

like a dome shape.

I didn't realize that.

I went down to the food area and then I

came back up the escalator on the other

side of the dome thing and I was sitting

there wondering where is everyone.

And then I walk up to the office area and

I, I realize it's not the same office

thing.

And then I realize I'm on the wrong side

of like this egg shape.

And then it's 1 o'clock and then I'm

panicking thinking, oh my God, it's 1

o'clock, they're gonna start calling out

the numbers again, I'm gonna miss my

number.

So I sprint across the middle of the egg

shape.

So I'm running from one end of the egg to

the other end of the egg.

To get back into immigration.

And then I get in just before they call my

number.

And they call my number and then he says I

have to go down and get a photocopy of my

visa printed out.

So I run back down to where the food court

was.

I could have done this during lunch break,

but I didn't know.

It felt like being at school again, having

a lunch break.

I can't remember the last time I felt

like, okay, now it's lunch break.

I've got 1 hour to get food and then I've

got to go back up.

It felt strange, like being back at school

again.

So I'm running around looking for the

printing shop, and then I got to download

Line, but the visa is on my flip phone

which doesn't have Line, so I have to

download Line, and then I got to transfer

my existing Line account to my new phone

for some reason.

So because you needed to send the picture

of the image you wanted to be printed onto

their Line group at the photo shop, so I

had to get that printout and then run back

up and then pay the money.

Ah, so many things I had to do.

It was like some kind of World of Warcraft

fetch quest.

I had to do this and go there and talk to

this person and get this printout and then

go back up and then talk to this person.

It was such a pain in the backside, and it

cost me 1,900 baht, which is— it's like

£40.

Jesus, it's like £40.

And then I had to spend

I think I probably spent a couple hundred

baht on food and transport.

So in total, I think 2,500, it's like £50.

And I got my tourist visa extended by 30

days.

And that is the end of the story.

And I came back.

So that's how I spent today, 6 hours

running up and down Bangkok.

But now I can stay in Thailand until

January, the beginning, the first week of

January I can stay.

Does your Thai girlfriend know about your

YouTube channel?

No, hope not,

although I'm feeling like she's getting

suspicious.

Getting lots of sun?

Yeah, my arm's all brown.

Can you see how brown my arm is compared

to my shoulder?

So brown.

And then yesterday I went to the gym

because my building has a gym and a sauna

and a swimming pool.

So I might start taking advantage of that.

Now my arms hurt because I was lifting

weights and then I put my feet in the

pool.

It's so relaxing.

It is so relaxing to work out and then get

really hot, sweaty feet and then just put

your feet into a nice cool swimming pool.

Bangkok is really not pedestrian-friendly

in some areas.

I never felt this way in Japan.

In Japan, everywhere you could walk to.

In Bangkok, you, you can physically not

walk.

It's physically impossible to walk to

certain places in Bangkok.

It's probably what America is like.

It's probably why everyone in America

thinks you need to have a car to survive.

I never felt like I needed a car so much

before in my life.

Letting the foot slime leach into the pool

for other people.

Well, the pool is chlorinated and salted,

so it's okay if all my dead skin on my

feet flake off into it.

I scratched my foot and all this dead skin

started flaking away in the water.

It's gross, but my feet are getting nice

and chlorinated.

I'm so tired.

I can't believe I spent nearly £50 just to

get my visa extended by 30 days.

It's so dumb.

There were loads of other foreigners there

as well, but they were dressed smartly in

a nice shirt and trousers, probably

because there's some reviews on Google

saying that they got, they, they got their

visa denied, rejected, because they

weren't wearing a proper outfit or

something, but I just wore my shirt and my

black trousers and it was fine.

It just says a warning sign, it says no

really tight clothing and no see-through

clothing.

So that's probably because they don't want

people coming in looking like strippers or

hookers.

The visa's maximum stay is 90 days, but

they still make you renew every 30 days.

No, I got 60 days and they said I can

extend it by 30 days, so I've got a total

of 90 days.

But it's already been nearly 30 days.

I don't know if I can extend it again.

What if I go, go again and say I want to

extend it again?

I don't know if they would let me.

But it's just annoying because in Japan

you arrive, they give you a 90-day stamp,

no questions asked.

Here in Thailand you've got to apply for

an e-visa and then they only give you 60

days on arrival, and then you've got to go

all the way to immigration.

And you would think, oh, immigration would

just being in central Bangkok, it's easy

to get there.

It's not in central Bangkok, it's like

north of Bangkok, nearly out of Bangkok,

in this random area that has really bad

public transport.

You can get to there easily on the red

train line from Bang Sue Station, but to

get to Bang Sue, you got to— you got to go

up north on the green line and then walk

like half an hour to cross to the Red Line

or get a taxi because there's nothing

connecting the Red and the Green Line.

So you can either walk all the way to Bang

Sue, which would take half an hour plus 20

minutes on a train, and then get half an

hour from Bang Sue train to Laksi, or you

get— you walk to the BTS Skyline and then

get the train all the way up to some place

called Wat Phrao something, and then walk

half an hour along a highway which doesn't

even have a footpath.

It's such a pain to get— I mean, I guess

you get a taxi from Bangkok and it'll take

half an hour.

I wish I just did that, but I thought I'd

try and save money and just take the

train, but I ended up taking 2 taxis

anyway, and then I took the taxi back

home.

Which cost 175 baht.

It's about half an hour.

I gave him 200 baht and I let him keep the

change.

I said you could have it, tips.

His car was so loud.

It was like really loud car and it looked

like a manual car because it had a, had a

clutch pedal, but I didn't see him

changing gears.

It was weird,

but not too bad.

200 baht for half an hour in a taxi, which

is like to £4, I think.

£4, not bad.

And the train— I took a train, it was

about half an hour, only cost me 26 baht,

which is like 50 pence, 60 pence.

In England, to get a train to Maidstone,

which is 15 minutes, cost you about £5, I

think.

£4.70 return ticket.

Trains and public transport, so cheap in

Thailand.

I don't know if Grab would have been

cheaper.

I think Grab displayed about 200 baht as

well, so around the same price.

I don't really see an advantage of using

the yellow and green taxis, the meter

taxis, over just getting Grab.

I, I got the meter taxi because there were

loads of taxis lining up outside of

immigration picking people up, so I

thought It's easier if I just jump into

one of these instead of trying to book a

Grab.

Grab is good, they can't really scam you.

Yeah, I guess Grab is just like Uber, but

then the meter taxis, I feel like they

have more of an official taxi feeling to

it.

And the Grab woman had a nice car, she had

like this racer seat style on the

interior.

It was quite fancy, but the meter taxi's

car was rubbish.

It was so loud, the engine sounded like a

diesel engine, and all this black exhaust

stuff was coming out the back.

And then he stopped at a petrol station to

fuel up.

He said he had a 90-day visa, which now

comes out to be a lie.

No, I said I got a tourist visa, which is

60 days, which can be extended up to 90

days.

I might have said I got a 90-day visa just

out of convenience so I don't have to say

that entire sentence over and over again.

People keep asking me what kind of visa I

have.

I'm not going to say I've got a 60-day

visa which can be extended by 30 days up

to 90 days.

I'm not going to say that every single

time.

It's just easier to say I've got a 90-day

visa because it basically is a 90-day

visa.

You don't have to

pass any test or anything to be able to

extend it.

You just go there, pay the money, and they

stamp, stamp your passport.

I feel like they're only making you do

that so they make some money.

So they made 2,000 baht off me just

because I had to go in there and stamp my,

my passport.

If they gave me 90 days from the

beginning, then they wouldn't have made

that money, I guess.

I like how they color code the railway

lines.

I'm pretty sure they do that everywhere.

Like in Japan, in Tokyo, the green line

was the Yamanote Line.

Here it's the Sukhumvit Line for green.

Are you lying about your girlfriend not

knowing your YouTube channel?

No, she doesn't know.

As far as I know.

Oh, thanks, Irony High.

How's the relationship?

Here's dollar for next taxi.

Um, yeah, it's going pretty well apart

from some pretty disturbing things

transpired.

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

So I found out that my girlfriend has been

posting pictures of me on a certain

discussion group that is owned by a

certain reptilian-looking American man.

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

So there's a viewer who claims that he

knows what's,

what's going on with this girlfriend.

And I asked him, how does he know?

And then he says that he's spoken to the

family, which I find a bit creepy.

And then he said, according to him, the

ex-husband guy is her husband-to-be.

So I'm guessing fiancé.

Were they engaged or something?

I don't know how he knows this or how he

claims to know this, but I feel pretty

freaked out that he says that he spoke to

her.

How did he speak to her family.

I don't get it.

But I've got the photo proof that she has

posted a screenshot of our chat with my

face on it to the Farang group, which is

like a Facebook group of over 50,000 Thai

women where they basically post pictures

of guys they're chatting to and they kind

of do background checks.

So they ask Hey, does anyone know this

guy?

Does he have a girlfriend?

It's so creepy.

I don't know any other country that does

this.

It's so fucking weird.

They got this massive Facebook group just

so they can do like background checks on

guys that they're chatting to.

It's the freakiest thing I've ever heard

of,

and I feel kind of violated, like my

personal information or my privacy has

been violated.

She's just posted this image of me onto

this group that has over tens of thousands

of women on it so they can like check up

on who, who this guy is that they're

chatting to.

You cannot blame them.

Yeah, I know, it's a smart idea.

I give them kudos for coming up with this

idea.

It's very crafty to try and find out

because there's a lot of weirdos in the

world these days.

And it's— I mean, I guess most people

would want to know about the background

and the history of the guy they're

thinking about dating.

But I think it's so messed up, especially

as someone like me, you know, who has a

bit of a bad history that's on the

internet.

If I was just a normal guy that didn't

have an internet footprint, I wouldn't

really care.

I'd be like, yeah, sure, look me up,

there's nothing you'll find.

But because I am a famous YouTuber who has

documented his entire life,

uh, it does make me feel a bit nervous.

What one might think if they find that

stuff.

But so far it seems like no one has

recognized me as Daniel the YouTuber on

that group, so it seems like Thai people

don't know who I am, which is great.

When I go to my YouTube analytics on

audience

on my newest videos, even though I've put

Thai land in the titles.

I think I have like 0.5% Thai audience,

and they're probably just the foreigners

and Americans in Thailand anyway.

So I really don't have a Thai audience,

which is great.

The good thing about making videos in

English is that you'll mostly get an

American audience and UK audience and

Europe audience.

You, you won't get any Asian audience.

I didn't get any Japanese viewers from—

even after going viral for making videos

about Japan and marrying a Japanese woman,

I barely got any Japanese viewers.

Maybe one or two here and there who were

just learning English, but I really didn't

get any exposure to the local Japanese

audiences, which, um, is a great thing.

So hopefully some Thai YouTuber doesn't

make a video about me and expose me or

something.

Oh, hopefully one of my videos doesn't go

viral about Thailand.

I started putting Thailand in the video

titles

because I thought, well, the chances of

these going viral are basically slim to

none.

I'm not gonna get another viral again, so

I really doubt just putting life in

Thailand part 1, I'm gonna get like a

million views and get exposure to Thai

people.

I already doubt that's gonna happen, so

I'm just gonna say screw it, I'm gonna put

Thailand in titles just so my existing

viewers know what's going on, so they can

feel like they have more of an idea what's

happening in my life now.

Be careful, don't say anything bad about

Thailand.

Yeah, I haven't said anything bad because

I'm a bit worried about certain things.

Involving the K, the you-know-what that

ends in G.

Something isn't adding up.

You're hiding something.

No,

I'm hiding— yeah, I'm hiding my apartment,

I guess.

That's it, really.

Are random girls still taking selfies with

you?

No, I feel like that only happened because

I was filming, but I don't know if it

looked obvious that I was doing a

livestream.

I just had my GoPro on my bag strap.

I don't think it was visibly obvious that

I was doing a livestream.

I've got to remember I switched my

messaging app over to my other phone now.

I'm also a bit nervous because she has her

own key now, so she could come home at any

time and just open the door, and I would

have no time to scramble.

So I've had to relocate my livestream

setup.

It used to be down there on the floor, but

if she suddenly opens the door, I'd be

like, oh God, pick up my laptop and hide

everything.

Now it's just where it usually is on the

table.

It's just the microphone is a bit of bit

of a risk.

If she sees me with this big microphone,

she might think, are you YouTuber?

But I'm pretty sure she'll tell me when

she's finished work and she's on her way

home, because every single time she said,

I'm coming home now.

So I've had an hour,

um, an hour advanced warning.

She got her own set of keys.

Before, I had to go down and let her in,

so I felt a bit more comfortable.

I'm also a bit worried that what if I went

out and then she came home early because

she felt a bit unwell?

She's let herself in and I wasn't here,

and then all my stuff's here.

Because when I go out, I take out the tech

that I want to keep secret.

For example, the microphone, my cameras,

my live view encoder, my GoPro.

I usually keep that all hidden because

it's like YouTuber stuff.

But when I go outside, I don't really use

it and I don't want to carry it, so I just

take it all out and leave it here.

So if I'm out and she comes back when I'm

out and she sees it— bit worried about

that.

I might just wrap it all up in one of my

hoodies.

How much have you paid for her this week?

Well, I gave her £50 for petrol.

She said she's gonna need like £200 a

month for petrol at this rate.

She has to buy petrol every 3 or 4 days,

and every time she tops up it's 2,000

baht.

So times that by 4 or 5, I'm going to have

to pay her like 8,000 baht a month for

petrol.

8,000 baht is how much?

It's nearly £200, I think.

So it sucks.

But I'm— I still am saving more money this

way than if I was single, because if I was

single, I'd be paying way more for

accommodation.

Plus I'd be paying for you know what,

because there's hot Thai girls everywhere

that I would find hard to resist.

And then I just end up blowing 1,000 here,

2,000 there, just for one session of

cereal.

So I'm definitely getting a better deal

right now, even though it might sound like

I'm getting ripped off.

I'm really not.

Thanks to her, I got this place which only

costs £400 a month, and then I only got to

pay her £200 a month for petrol.

No normal Thai guy gives girlfriend £8,000

a month for cost of living expenses.

I'm hoping that when she gets her next

paycheck, she'll start paying for her own

stuff.

It's a bit annoying that I have to pay for

it, but she seems like she's so broke.

I don't know why she's so broke.

She showed me her bank accounts and she's

got nothing.

She's in— she's in credit or in debt.

I don't really understand what she showed

me,

but if she had no money and she's willing

to show it to me, then I'm sure it's real.

Legitimate.

I jokingly slipped the money into her boob

slot and she got really upset.

She threw the money on the floor.

I guess that was a bit insensitive of me.

I thought it was funny though.

She keeps asking me for money, so I

slipped it in her boob.

She got really upset.

I had to say, oh no, no, that's not what I

meant.

It doesn't mean that in England.

Don't misunderstand.

When it totally does mean that in the UK.

When you put notes into someone's boob

slot or in her stockings, in her, in her

thigh.

What's it called?

Leggings.

She has multiple accounts?

Yeah, she did, and she showed me her

multiple bank accounts with different

cards.

She said they were all maxed out or

something, I don't remember.

Didn't really understand what I was

looking at when she showed it to me.

Just like a load of random numbers.

Let me get a drink.

This girl is a walking red flag.

Yeah, but there's so many benefits still

that I feel like the benefits still

outweigh the negatives.

I'm getting you-know-whats on a daily

basis, multiple times a day.

You can't really put a price on that

because if you didn't, didn't have a

girlfriend, do you know how much that

would cost if you were going to have to

pay for it?

There's no way I could afford it.

So I'm getting copious amounts of

you-know-what.

Don't have to wear Rubber duckies.

She was sick yesterday, so she was here

all day.

I felt a bit stressed out.

I couldn't do anything.

I just sat here staring at the stock

market because that's the only thing I can

do.

I can do in front of her is check stocks.

I can't watch Twitch, I can't watch

YouTube, I can't do YouTube.

When she's around.

So boring.

I just sat there playing Mario Kart.

I don't know why she gets sick so much.

I feel like Chihiro got sick a lot as

well.

What is with these women getting sick all

the time?

How come she's sick but I'm fine?

I don't feel anything.

She had to take all this medicine.

She had a headache and it bit of a

temperature.

What do I think of the Thai women in

public?

Well, there's 2 types of Thai women here.

There's like the very small, petite

Chinese girls, and they're obviously all

cute.

But then there's like the more

Thai-looking Thai girls, and they look a

bit more, you know, wild.

They look more native, if you know what I

mean.

But my girlfriend doesn't look Thai,

really.

She looks— she just looks like a Chinese

girl.

She actually looks like my cousin's— my

Malaysian cousin's Taiwanese Malaysian

girlfriend that he used to have like 10

years ago that I had a bit of crush on.

That I also used her pictures when I used

to do used panty scams.

Did I tell you when I was like 20 or 21, I

used to do panty scams on Craigslist where

I would take photos from my cousin's

girlfriend's Facebook and then I would put

them onto Craigslist and then make an ad

saying, I'm a Japanese girl in London,

want to make some extra money selling my

dirty panties.

And some guys would say, oh, can you send

me some proof?

Hold up a piece of paper with your name on

it.

So I'd take a picture of her because she

actually had a picture of herself holding

a piece of paper on her Facebook, and I

would edit it to a pixel level, their

names and the dates, using MS Paint.

And one of them actually found out who I

was.

It scared the crap out of me.

He said— he sent me a mail saying, hello

Daniel, It's not very wise of you to leave

such an obvious internet footprint if

you're gonna scam people.

I blocked him.

He threatened to report me to the police,

but I thought he was just bluffing.

What's he gonna say?

Phone up police and say, hello, um, I got

scammed by Daniel Lord when I was trying

to buy dirty underwear.

That was like 12 years ago, so I don't

really care anymore.

No, no guy is gonna phone up the police

because they got scammed £10 out of dirty

panties.

I stopped doing it because I was getting

scared because it was doing too well.

I was making too much money from it and I

thought there's no way I'll get away with

this, so I better stop now.

And by then I found better ways of making

money.

Uh, when I'm 60 years old, I'll tell you

the biggest scam I pulled.

I still haven't told anyone about this big

scam I pulled.

Even you guys who've been watching for

like 6 years, you think you know

everything about me.

I haven't even talked about my biggest

scam because it's way too hot,

and she threatened to go to the police,

but I don't think she did.

Cuz it, it happened like 12 years ago.

You still have secrets?

Yeah, there's some scams I've done that I

haven't even talked about, cuz I'm not

that dumb.

I'll tell you when I'm like 60 years old,

when I'm about to die.

I'll post it on my Patreon.

Patreon-only access.

What's on the SD card?

That was such a great meme.

I love that whole SD card meme thing.

Now I left my SSD flash drive in my

bedroom.

Hopefully my mum doesn't find it because

there's no password on it.

Why didn't I bring my SSD flash drive?

I can't believe it.

It had a terabyte of games on it.

Now I need to— my girlfriend said she'll

lend me a hard drive, but it's not SSD.

I think it's just HDD.

I'm running out of disk space for games.

I got Cyberpunk 2077 because it's on half

price, 50% off.

I was thinking of doing a playthrough on

Twitch, so if you want to join my Twitch,

I might do that tomorrow.

Let me link my Twitch.

Twitch.com/danielhrmar.

Ah, it's not linking it.

Is it https://

and then www.twitch.com/danielhrmar?

Oh, it did work.

Did it work?

Yeah, I might play Cyberpunk tomorrow.

I'm interested in Cyberpunk now because I

watched Edgerunners, the anime, and I

really liked it, and it got me interested

in the whole cyberpunk world.

And before Edgerunners, I did try

Cyberpunk back when it came out.

I did a video review, got 100K views.

Which is pretty good.

But I really hated the game.

I thought the game sucked and it's boring.

But now maybe it'll be more interesting.

It's been 2 years, maybe they've improved

it, and maybe I'll find the game

interesting now that I've watched

Edgerunners.

Edgerunners ending was so sad.

Yeah, I was actually really emotional

watching the ending.

They had that music, the whole music and

the theme of them It was like Romeo and

Juliet, kind of.

It kind of came out of nowhere though, the

whole romance angle, because there was

just like a crew killing people and

getting jobs done, and then all of a

sudden the main character seemed to be in

love with Lucy.

I even forgot who Lucy was.

It just seemed kind of out of the blue.

Oh, now they're in love with each other.

Okay.

Only thing they changed is there's less

bugs now.

Still buggy.

I didn't even notice any bugs when I

played it.

It wasn't really the bugs that put me off

it, it was just how janky it felt.

The gunplay did not feel smooth, or it

just didn't feel satisfying.

The gunplay just felt rubbish.

Moving around the world felt janky as

well.

It just felt like a really clunky, poorly

made game from like 2015

by some low-budget studio.

I can't believe how hyped it was.

It was so hyped, and the trailers made it

look so good, and then it came out and

everyone was so disappointed.

But do you think I can refund it?

Now you said that, I feel like refunding

it again.

Maybe it still sucks.

I already refunded it once.

Can I refund it a second time?

I already made a couple hundred dollars

from reviewing it, so I guess I could—

I guess I could just spend the money.

Will I get tested to see if I'm sterile?

I already did.

Mila got me a sperm test

and

my sperm— it said my sperm were active,

not inactive.

It's just I can never get women pregnant.

My girlfriend had her period last week.

Was it last week?

I think her period ended yesterday.

So if, if my sperm was actually working,

then she wouldn't have had her period,

would she?

Daniel's review watches other YouTubers'

stuff, copy and paste.

I don't even watch other reviews.

I just play it for like 10 minutes.

And then I, I form my opinion after 10

minutes of gameplay, and I just say, as an

avid fan of blah blah blah, I had to play

this game.

Unfortunately, so far it's been rather

lacking in luster and not up to my

standards.

This game, it has terrible gameplay and

it's really slow, and the characters are

really dumb and stupid.

And for some reason that works.

Not every time, but the percentage of

times it does work is shockingly good.

I recently made— well, 4 weeks ago I made

a video called Why I Regret Buying the

Steam Deck.

It has 145,000 views now.

And then I made a follow-up, I Was So

Wrong About the Steam Deck, and it has

like 12K views.

And I made Why I Regret Buying the Switch

OLED, it has 35K views.

And then I did— I'm gonna do why I was so

wrong about the Switch OLED, and then I'm

gonna do why I hate the Switch OLED.

It's so dumb, YouTube is.

It's so— oh my God, it's so stupid how

YouTube works.

You think, oh, to get views you got to

make creative and good content.

No, you just have to put why I hate blah

blah blah, or why I regret buying blah

blah blah, or why blah blah blah is

rubbish.

And you get like 100K views.

But when I realized that, my, my passion

for YouTube just died because I thought,

why the hell should I bother trying to

make good videos when all I have to do is

combine the words why I hate and then

insert whatever the fuck is trending and

they'll get like 100K, 200K views?

More views than I ever got before doing my

original content

pisses me off because I wanted to be a

good YouTuber, you know, who makes good

videos that people love to watch.

And I wanted people to love me, and I

wanted to bring happiness and

entertainment to people's lives and be a

good YouTuber.

But it's like this stupid algorithm

rewards you for being a shit YouTuber.

So then my monkey brain is like, why

should I bother?

When I put efforts and hard work into a

video, I get slapped in the face and shat

on, and people don't watch it.

It'll get like 5K views.

And then I just put some rubbish out that

took me literally 10 minutes to make where

I just go, oh, I don't like the Steam Deck

because it's too big and it makes my back

hurt, and it gets fucking 150K views.

Pisses me off so much.

The, the day I realized that is the day I—

my YouTuber passion died.

I get so triggered.

I get so triggered when people say,

Daniel, why don't you actually put effort

into making better quality videos?

Because it won't get me more views.

People don't watch people because their

videos are quality.

Like Chris Broad, for example.

Do you think Chris Broad has such a

massive fan base because his videos are

shot in 4K and have drone shots and have

great video quality and great editing?

No.

The reason why Chris Broad gets so many

views every single time is because people

like him.

It's like 80%

is Chris's personality is what's bringing

the views in and keeping the viewers

there.

Of course, the drone shots and the high

quality and editing is nice, and the

viewers appreciate it, but that's not what

brings them there or keeps them there in

the first place.

It's because people like Chris and they

like all the characters that he brings

along, like Natsuki and Ryotaro and Joey

stupid man,

and they like Japan.

That's basically it.

The recipe for success is have a funny,

good personality combined with interesting

other characters that are on the show and

with an interesting theme like Japan.

That is the special sauce.

Sure, I can go out and buy a 2K camera and

hire an editor.

It won't make any fucking difference,

because people don't like me.

I could get the most expensive camera in

the world, but it's not gonna buy you a

personality that people like.

I need Chris's personality.

I don't have a great personality.

The whole thing about YouTube is either

you trick the algorithm or you have a good

personality and you win the hearts of the

people, which I obviously did not.

I had plenty of chance to get massive

exposure.

Elvis Alien gave me loads of exposure, and

95% of the people who saw what I had to

offer didn't like me.

So they can suck all my eggs.

Fuck them.

They hate me.

I hate them too.

I hate them more than they hate me.

Ruined my life, ruined my marriage,

enticed me with their nakedness, and then

didn't even give me the goods, and made me

lose my marriage and spouse visa in the

process.

What was I saying?

Yeah, I'm saying, uh, quality and editing

and all that stuff doesn't matter.

And the reason why people love Abroad in

Japan videos has nothing to do with the

fact he uses a fancy camera or a drone or

has editing.
