Hi everyone. You can get some MAGIC MIND by clicking here: magicmind.com/anyaustin and using my promo code ANYAUSTIN20. I enjoy this little green drink. I generally enjoy little green drinks honestly. And little drinks in general. I used to drink 3-4 of those Dollar Tree Energy Shots a day, which is definitely bad for me. Magic Mind is an improvement. Anyway have a great day.
Imagine running a taxi service and the guy doing the job survey marks you down as a con artist instead because he doesn't understand that he has to actually sit in your cab for you to take him somewhere. Boss: "Why does the jobs report list us as some kind of con!?" Driver: "Shit, I didn't know what was going on. The guy walked around in circles, gave me $300, and left."
Except he was actually inside the boat… he just didn’t click a button to sit down. More like you get into a taxi and the driver just sits there and lets you keep paying him for rides, but will never start until you click a button under the seat. So con artist fits.

That's a quirk of the game, its equally silly to pretend you're actually doing what the game asks when it tells you to sit in a chair and instead of doing that you just jump onto the model and crouch.

I really love watching this series imagining that Austin is someone from the real world Bureau of Labor Statistics who got isakai'd into a fantasy world and is still just doing his job. It delights me.
"I'm a Mid-30's Government Worker Who Just Wants To Keep Doing my Job Even in this Fantasy World" would also be a hilarious comedy isekai plot. Like just this straight-laced, no nonsense married-to-his-job guy who rejects the isekai powers or important missions and just goes and tries to do some mundane but useful job for the citizens, but then his mundane job either takes him on detours and he winds up doing the hero's quest anyway, and/or his mundane but useful service actually winds up helping the kingdom more than direct fighting.
Important to mention, is that if you do manage to catch Calixto during operating hours, he charges a couple gold pieces for a tour of his museum; one that offers a couple unique items such as Ysgramor's soup spoon and the dancers flute. Bad hours and bad returns aside, I would argue that his museum is still more of a hobbyist endeavour, but being that he does still charge a flat rate for a service renders him employed. Please report back to the bureau for reassignment.

After more than a decade, UA-cam is filled with thousands of Skyrim videos. But this dude still found a way to make new, unique and fresh Skyrim content after so long! I love his Skyrim unemployment series as well as his video on Skyrim's rivers.
I appreciate youtubers like Austin who just tell their subscribers that the product they're promoting is tasty and that's it. No need to bullshit us about the supposed science-breakthru health benefits. It's a fun lil drink, drink it for the flavour.
Everytime you ask "does anyone know the best way to figure out the unemployment in a city is?" and turn around witht he rainbow graphics and a dora-the-explorer-esq "That's right! It's a direct survey!" it genuinely brightens my day. Like, I'm having a shit day today, but gods damn does hearing that goober ass line make me smile.
The way you did that sponsorship is great. Such a refreshing and welcome change of pace from all the people clearly being contractually obligated to point out buzzwords to just have you give your real, positive first impressions with your disclaimers and personal tastes in there. It actually got me interested but I had trouble finding nutritional information on their website, which is my main interest with these drinks.
This is my new favorite channel. All your videos are weirdly comforting, and there's something so uniquely interesting about the way you pick apart games for little mundane details other people might never think about. I get excited every time you upload. Thanks!
I don't know if this is a passion project or if you're just doing this out of obligation at this point, but I enjoyed the video lol. The increased production value did not go unnoticed. Also I don't know if making sly remarks like that is conducive to getting future sponsorships, but I appreciate that you're keeping it real on that front.
@@any_austin It also shows having at least some modicum of honesty and integrity, which is extremely lacking nowadays. Too many people just accept any and all sponsorships and read off a script they were provided by a company and/or lie about how great the product/service is just because they're paid/compensated to (in commercials you know the actor/presenter was paid to pretend how great the product is; however with social media, especially with "influencers" the lines are blurred and you'll almost never get honest feedback). This was my first video I've watched from you; I enjoyed the content however how you presented the product and your comment have earned you a subscriber. Great job.
It's been long enough that when you ask the best method for determining the unemployment rate I've actually started saying "a direct survey" out loud, like I'm watching Dora the Explorer or something.
14:10 I think the word you're looking for is "inoculate", not "inculcate". Inculcate means to inform or teach via frequent repetition, which doesn't seem to really apply in your sentence.
The bit about "potions that help you feel better about your life" at 8:23 really cracked me up for some reason. I almost spat my tea all over my keyboard. Inexplicable, but -- great job!
2:37 To be fair, the guy who is getting complained to about not having tools actually has some lines where he goes to the market in town and begs a shop keeper for more tools, even offering to pay double so his workers and himself (who also works the farm) can have an easier and more productive time And no, I didn't make this up like my comment on the last Skyrim video, I just saw it myself 2 days ago but had never seen the dialogue at the farm (because why would I go to that farm? only reason I'm there is to swim to the docks)
@@Pwnopolis I'm doing a pure mage run right now so that wouldn't help me much, can't poison a fireball and if I get hit I've done something wrong and a potion wouldn't save me (there's no potion of fortify player skill)
@@HappyBeezerStudios Tl;dr: I don't need to fortify my Magicka or health I use enchanted gear for fortify Magicka and fortify Magicka Regen and as a mage I just don't get hit, destruction's impact perk stun locks enemies if you're careful and then there's also followers and conjuration to draw aggro away from yourself. If I do get hit I probably won't get one shot so I just pop a close wounds spell really quick before switching back to destruction. With the enchanted gear I have, almost every enemy will stay staggered long enough with fire bolt that I Regen more Magicka than I used so I can spam it until I get low then carefully stun lock them until they die. Fire bolt shoots pretty fast so anything besides other mages are not an issue since you can backup while firing. Some animals like bears are tricky because they're fast and have very short stagger times but you can still shoot fire bolt fast enough to stun lock them. Mages are tricky because wards and/or shock spells so stealth is handy, especially with the illusion perk that makes spells silent, I'll often kill enemies with fire bolt before I'm fully detected. The less enemies the easier it is but the more enemies there are the farther back I'll pull to focus more on summoning and staying out of aggro
So used to hearing sponsorships in such a cookie-cutter way that this was really refreshing, fit into the video well and wasn’t jarring or weird. Great video as always :)
at the 3:00 mark the argonions aren't allowed in the city so the sleep on the docks they work at. like the door next to the east empire company is where the lizards sleep.
I came home today to find out the Bureau of Labor broke into my house again. I know I haven’t been answering my mail but damn this is the third time this year.
Man I love your videos so much. This is such a neat idea, exploring these older games and using real world logic to compare them, it’s honestly one of the most fun things I’ve watched in ages. Awesome stuff dude.
your Skyrim unemployment videos got me through the first week or so of top surgery recovery. I’d watch em to help me relax and drift off (I promise I still found it interesting) while struggling to sleep on my back at a shitty upright angle. Thank you man
I know people who put commutes on their timesheets. I work at home, but sometimes I include the ten seconds it takes me to walk from the sofa to my desk in my paid time
@@tylerb6981 Yeah it's contract work writing help content and that kinda stuff for a software company. My dad and brother both work there, and I needed a flexible job after college
don't worry, he can do Oblivion next :) and who knows, by the time he's done all of Morrowind, redguard, daggerfall and Arena ES6 might actually be out 😂
I'm 25 and live in a major city that requires my dumb ass to do crazy commutes in the morning and I NEVER thought to take that into account when interviewing, thanks for the tip Austin!
I still remember that when families live a certain distance from the school, the school district pays for public transport for the children. And I've seen enough jobs that include either fuel money, or part payment for a monthly public transport ticket. Or if the job requires moving around a lot, either hotel costs, or otherwise payment for accommodation. So yes, absolutely take commute into account.
The sponsorship was perfect lol. They are trying to show some sort of nootropic drink and Any Austin is like "yeah, idk if it works, I liked it, buy it if you like drinks whatever". Truly next level stuff.
@@GaunterODimm666 why does it have to be a reference to that specific person? I remember hearing that joke when I was something like 10 years old from a Minecraft UA-camr.
16:25 I really appreciate how tuned in you are to the ridiculous practices of 9-5 jobs and provide smart tips on how to navigate that bureaucracy. I also really like your deep thoughts on the art of games. One of my fave youtubers
Can you do a check of the mental health in different cities? Im curious about how many has depression, eating disorders or struggle with substance abuse. And how does this reflect in the employment rate
I love your droll sense of humor. I did laugh out loud at some portions of the video and your BLS press conference was also amusing. I'm really enjoying your videos. Even your sponsored bits are funny! But you also supply actual salient information while being very entertaining! Great work my friend!
6:28 Definitely did not expect a shoutout for the Cryptozoology Museum. There are a ton of eccentric-museum-house type places in Maine, not just them. The Cryptozoology Museum is just the coolest one.
I just started found your content about 6 weeks ago, and I've already watched through like 4 years of content. Love these unemployment videos. Love pretty much all videos. Thanks!
Can we get a video breaking down which of the cities and holds are the safest? You could do so based of the ratio of guards to civilians, physical defenses such as walls or by geographical location or of course all of these. You could also note through personal interviews the public's perception of the city and its safe or unsafe rumors.
You missed quite a few (or you just didn't show them):/ There's a prison in the keep, an alchemy shop and a temple of Talos inside of the city, East Empire Company headquarters (which has a very fun questline) and an argonian sleeping quarters with more people (that i believe don't come out) at the docks and a stable outside of the city. Also, there should be a writer and a hireable follower in the inn and a nanny with a child outside of Aretino residence (which has another child inside). Lastly, if you move forward a bit with the Blood on the Ice questline, you can pay Calixto for a tour of the House of curiosities, which should mean he is employed.
Yea I cut some stuff out for flow- I think you’re right that I missed the alchemy shop, which is weird. I did get the stable, the prison, the temple, etc.
@@any_austin Just for the record, we all love your videos and enjoy them being as long as they can be, so no need to cut things out for flow. :) Your interactions with Skyrim's populace are very entertaining.
@@any_austin yeah, I figured you probably counted the stables and the docks, but it's a shame you cut it out as i really enjoy your interpretation of the places storytelling, and, as has been already commented, i would love for your videos to be as long as they can been, even though I understand that the editing must be really tedious
I do want to say that the Argonians definitely get the short end, they aren't even allowed in the city and live in the argonian assemblage. Which is basically just glorified barracks, and I'm not sure you've been there during this survey.
6:32 I wouldn't have counted a pickpocket as they probably don't have an employer and the pickpocket is more of a type of thievery rather than a type of employment. Unless they are employed by the Thieves Guild. As for self-employment, that would usually need to be providing goods or services, but pickpocketing is simply a one way transaction which does not provide benefit to anyone, it's just a way to survive.
I appreciate the angle you came at the ad from. Rather than making unsubstantiated claims about all the magical properties of a supplement, you focused on the fact that it's a fun little routine, regardless of if it actually works or not. Kudos.
10:25 Not only is he unemployed, his brother is Ulfric's second-in-command. So basically this guy is the male sibling version of those losers who are like "My husband is a General"
Guy is the brother of the highest ranking man in the army (also the jarl's bodyguard) and yet doesn't have a house and spends his time drinking and insulting people. What a loser.
Your videos are awesome. They really take entire worlds that are painstakingly crafted and give them the appreciation they deserve. You manage to get me to look at this world ive spent 1000+ hours in through a totally different lens, and I appreciate you for that.
I've been commenting about that on multiple videos he's done. My complaint is that when he put the total in the title I had no reason to continue watching because I got my answer. Very happy to see he's changed that approach.
08:46 had me hyena cackling. Austin, in a youtube overrun with loud, overstated, hyperbolic, overstimulating content, your videos are some of the only ones that I can watch when I'm not happy, and it makes me happy again.
It's like we are all newbies to this job and he is the supervisor, taking us into the field. Just a huge gang of people scribbling down his every word on a notepad, comparing notes with one another.
Been subscribed since your first video, and I have to say it’s great to see you getting 6 digit view counts. It’s this kind of goofy, niche yet accessible content that’s keeping an increasingly stale internet alive.
The slightly different titling scheme had me worried it was going to be a wild and out there video. Glad to see it was the same quality i've begun to get used to. You hover above the line of boring just beautifully. please make another.
Not sure if anyone has said this but. Your knowledge of social economics and they way it breaks down into tangible information. Along with the perfection of your acting. Portraying the satire of how politicians give speeches. Dude you deserve an Oscar.
Btw, remember the place where they sell scooma? Part of the vampire quest line. I wonder if the food they make there is any good. The vibes are probably not too good
Those two areas qre unlocked by following the "Blood on the Ice" questline that was initiated with the body in the graveyard and questioning them. Known as the most broken quest in Skyrim. I've found following the walkthrough on UESP Wiki allows it to never fail.
Yesssssss I knew you had one more coming out and you didn't disappoint. Thank you I needed this after a week of nonsense irl stuff, for some reason this series helped me mellow out. Thank you Thank you Thank you

Such a refreshing and welcome change of pace from all the people clearly being contractually obligated to point out buzzwords to just have you give your real, positive first impressions with your disclaimers and personal tastes in there. It actually got me interested but I had trouble finding nutritional information on their website, which is my main interest with these drinks.
Appreciate the feedback
I dislike sponsorships in general, but if they have to be done, the way Austin did it is definitely the best.
@@kawadashogo8258And a brand that’s cool with this kind of vibe in their sponsor ad automatically earns a point of respect from me fr
When he said "absolutely, I will take these drinks" he was so real for that
I'm gonna go ahead and post the ingredients list, in case you never found it: Organic Agave, Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha, Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom, Organic Cordyceps Mushroom, Organic Olive Oil, Rhodiola Rosea, Bacopa Monnieri, Turmeric, Choline, Ashwagandha, Phosphatidylserine, L-Theanine, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B2, B3 & B12, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sea Salt, Saffron, Piperine (Black Pepper Extract), Natural Caffeine, Chlorophyllin, Potassium Sorbate, Natural Passionfruit Flavoring, Natural Vanilla Flavoring, Natural Beet Flavoring
This is my new favorite channel. All your videos are weirdly comforting, and there's something so uniquely interesting about the way you pick apart games for little mundane details other people might never think about. I get excited every time you upload. Thanks!
I don't know if this is a passion project or if you're just doing this out of obligation at this point, but I enjoyed the video lol. The increased production value did not go unnoticed.
Also I don't know if making sly remarks like that is conducive to getting future sponsorships, but I appreciate that you're keeping it real on that front.
Yea I prefer brands that actually let me talk how I normally talk and be a little sarcastic or funny. I’m not a good liar so it helps.
Him being more hands on with his videos is fantastic
@@any_austinso real
@@any_austin It also shows having at least some modicum of honesty and integrity, which is extremely lacking nowadays. Too many people just accept any and all sponsorships and read off a script they were provided by a company and/or lie about how great the product/service is just because they're paid/compensated to (in commercials you know the actor/presenter was paid to pretend how great the product is; however with social media, especially with "influencers" the lines are blurred and you'll almost never get honest feedback). This was my first video I've watched from you; I enjoyed the content however how you presented the product and your comment have earned you a subscriber. Great job.
8:13 i'm so glad that's on camera, this game is wonderful
Your my favorite channel right now to listen to in the background while I paint. Thanks man!
God I love when people tell me this
Austin: "does anyone know the best w..."
Me, having seen his prior videos, feeling extremely smart: DIRECT SURVEY
Me, having seen his prior videos: "CENSU-- I mean, direct survey!"
When you run out of skyrim cities you should review unemployment in Morrowind or Oblivion. Would love to see that!
Was about to comment that too! I would love to see that
"I'm the least important person here!! :D"
Relatable, my guy
He was so happy about it lol
most morally decent ad I've seen in a bit, good work any austin
It's been long enough that when you ask the best method for determining the unemployment rate I've actually started saying "a direct survey" out loud, like I'm watching Dora the Explorer or something.
Same, it's part of the fun!
I'm watching this at work rn and I had to hold back saying "Direct survey!" out loud. Smh.
S
Same here 😂
14:10 I think the word you're looking for is "inoculate", not "inculcate". Inculcate means to inform or teach via frequent repetition, which doesn't seem to really apply in your sentence.
Additional idea: Biodiversity survey of the Province of Skyrim
The bit about "potions that help you feel better about your life" at 8:23 really cracked me up for some reason. I almost spat my tea all over my keyboard. Inexplicable, but -- great job!
I dont know
Welp, you do now
@@thefiredogcult9523Not yet, the video was posted 7 minutes ago and it's a 16 minute video. She still doesn't know what the unemployment rate is.
@haveaniceday2439 cute cats, but ur a f*cking liar
Hehehehaw
E
"It's not breaking and entering because I'm a government employee" still can't believe The Moot overruled Jarl Elisif on that decision
2:37 To be fair, the guy who is getting complained to about not having tools actually has some lines where he goes to the market in town and begs a shop keeper for more tools, even offering to pay double so his workers and himself (who also works the farm) can have an easier and more productive time
And no, I didn't make this up like my comment on the last Skyrim video, I just saw it myself 2 days ago but had never seen the dialogue at the farm (because why would I go to that farm? only reason I'm there is to swim to the docks)
The farms outside Windhelm are frequent visits for me.
I cant imagine a skyrim playthru where i didnt mass produce all the potions and poisons.
@@Pwnopolis I'm doing a pure mage run right now so that wouldn't help me much, can't poison a fireball and if I get hit I've done something wrong and a potion wouldn't save me (there's no potion of fortify player skill)
@@SomeoneYouDontKnowOfficial but what about a potion that increases your max magicka and health? There aren't any spells for that in Skyrim.
@@HappyBeezerStudios Tl;dr: I don't need to fortify my Magicka or health
I use enchanted gear for fortify Magicka and fortify Magicka Regen and as a mage I just don't get hit, destruction's impact perk stun locks enemies if you're careful and then there's also followers and conjuration to draw aggro away from yourself. If I do get hit I probably won't get one shot so I just pop a close wounds spell really quick before switching back to destruction. With the enchanted gear I have, almost every enemy will stay staggered long enough with fire bolt that I Regen more Magicka than I used so I can spam it until I get low then carefully stun lock them until they die. Fire bolt shoots pretty fast so anything besides other mages are not an issue since you can backup while firing. Some animals like bears are tricky because they're fast and have very short stagger times but you can still shoot fire bolt fast enough to stun lock them. Mages are tricky because wards and/or shock spells so stealth is handy, especially with the illusion perk that makes spells silent, I'll often kill enemies with fire bolt before I'm fully detected. The less enemies the easier it is but the more enemies there are the farther back I'll pull to focus more on summoning and staying out of aggro
So used to hearing sponsorships in such a cookie-cutter way that this was really refreshing, fit into the video well and wasn’t jarring or weird. Great video as always :)
DIRECT SURVEY!!
E
I think we need shirts that say "Direct Survey" 😂
I shouted out like its Dora
@@jvseventeen or a "Employed Shirt"
at the 3:00 mark the argonions aren't allowed in the city so the sleep on the docks they work at. like the door next to the east empire company is where the lizards sleep.
I love it when this objectively handsome man uploads!
oh Jabo

Man I love your videos so much. This is such a neat idea, exploring these older games and using real world logic to compare them, it’s honestly one of the most fun things I’ve watched in ages. Awesome stuff dude.
My favorite part of any press conference is when they ask the reporters to like and subscribe
your Skyrim unemployment videos got me through the first week or so of top surgery recovery. I’d watch em to help me relax and drift off (I promise I still found it interesting) while struggling to sleep on my back at a shitty upright angle. Thank you man
congrats on ur top surgery !! hope you have a speedy recovery
glad i didn't skip the sponsor excellent timing from the NPC there
I know people who put commutes on their timesheets. I work at home, but sometimes I include the ten seconds it takes me to walk from the sofa to my desk in my paid time
An hourly remote job? You've piqued my interest, how/what?
@@tylerb6981 probably either creative work, software related IT, or something with management.
@@tylerb6981 Yeah it's contract work writing help content and that kinda stuff for a software company. My dad and brother both work there, and I needed a flexible job after college
They're gonna have to add more settlements to Skyrim. I can not handle this series coming to an end
don't worry, he can do Oblivion next :)
and who knows, by the time he's done all of Morrowind, redguard, daggerfall and Arena ES6 might actually be out 😂
Dude... what the hell are these videos? Lol. I just stumbled into them this morning and I cant get enough of them.
1:26 i really appreciate this mirrored effect and the 10 minutes of effort you put into pleasing specifically me.
You're the first person I have ever hit the bell for lol The content is just too interesting
I'm 25 and live in a major city that requires my dumb ass to do crazy commutes in the morning and I NEVER thought to take that into account when interviewing, thanks for the tip Austin!
I still remember that when families live a certain distance from the school, the school district pays for public transport for the children.
And I've seen enough jobs that include either fuel money, or part payment for a monthly public transport ticket. Or if the job requires moving around a lot, either hotel costs, or otherwise payment for accommodation.
So yes, absolutely take commute into account.
The sponsorship was perfect lol. They are trying to show some sort of nootropic drink and Any Austin is like "yeah, idk if it works, I liked it, buy it if you like drinks whatever". Truly next level stuff.
Everyone asks “What is Windhelms unemployment rate” but never “Why is Windhelms unemployment rate”
Or who is Windhelms unemployed rate
Ludvig Holberg reference?
@@GaunterODimm666 why does it have to be a reference to that specific person? I remember hearing that joke when I was something like 10 years old from a Minecraft UA-camr.
3:56 you need to sit on a bench in the boat
This is how we learn Austin is apparently a dark elf.
he's argonian actually, that guy just hates every non-nord
16:25 I really appreciate how tuned in you are to the ridiculous practices of 9-5 jobs and provide smart tips on how to navigate that bureaucracy. I also really like your deep thoughts on the art of games. One of my fave youtubers
If racism was a job, everyone in windhelm would be employed

Everyone in all of Skyrim, probably

I love these employment rate videos. You should do oblivion and other games. As always, they're great like your music.
Absolutely phenomenal ad read. the company shoulda paid you more for such high quality.
8:09 From one cleaner to another, I wish I could tell this guy "least important" does not mean "unimportant", he does a damn fine job
Can you do a check of the mental health in different cities? Im curious about how many has depression, eating disorders or struggle with substance abuse. And how does this reflect in the employment rate
Seriously, thank you so much for your channel and the hours and hours of hardwork you do. Your work gives me such delight and joy
Unemployment report for Vivec City (the surveyor was never seen again).
I love your droll sense of humor. I did laugh out loud at some portions of the video and your BLS press conference was also amusing. I'm really enjoying your videos. Even your sponsored bits are funny! But you also supply actual salient information while being very entertaining! Great work my friend!
never clicked faster
Literally same
good to know joob
I'm pretty sure Calixto charges for a tour of his house of curiosities which means he would be employed right?
E
I love that the given reason for the ad's call to action is "liking funny little drinks"
6:28 Definitely did not expect a shoutout for the Cryptozoology Museum. There are a ton of eccentric-museum-house type places in Maine, not just them. The Cryptozoology Museum is just the coolest one.
2:09 "Ain't that just the way" Over the Garden Wall fan detected.
I just started found your content about 6 weeks ago, and I've already watched through like 4 years of content. Love these unemployment videos. Love pretty much all videos. Thanks!
Can we get a video breaking down which of the cities and holds are the safest? You could do so based of the ratio of guards to civilians, physical defenses such as walls or by geographical location or of course all of these. You could also note through personal interviews the public's perception of the city and its safe or unsafe rumors.
New AnyAustin vid just dropped. Let's gooo
8:46 is S tier comedy. 😂
You missed quite a few (or you just didn't show them):/ There's a prison in the keep, an alchemy shop and a temple of Talos inside of the city, East Empire Company headquarters (which has a very fun questline) and an argonian sleeping quarters with more people (that i believe don't come out) at the docks and a stable outside of the city. Also, there should be a writer and a hireable follower in the inn and a nanny with a child outside of Aretino residence (which has another child inside). Lastly, if you move forward a bit with the Blood on the Ice questline, you can pay Calixto for a tour of the House of curiosities, which should mean he is employed.
Love your work and can't wait for the comprehensive unemployment rate of Skyrim!
Yea I cut some stuff out for flow- I think you’re right that I missed the alchemy shop, which is weird. I did get the stable, the prison, the temple, etc.
@@any_austin Hmm, the video did feel weird with them cut out.
@@any_austin Just for the record, we all love your videos and enjoy them being as long as they can be, so no need to cut things out for flow. :) Your interactions with Skyrim's populace are very entertaining.
@@any_austin yeah, I figured you probably counted the stables and the docks, but it's a shame you cut it out as i really enjoy your interpretation of the places storytelling, and, as has been already commented, i would love for your videos to be as long as they can been, even though I understand that the editing must be really tedious
I do want to say that the Argonians definitely get the short end, they aren't even allowed in the city and live in the argonian assemblage. Which is basically just glorified barracks, and I'm not sure you've been there during this survey.
6:32 I wouldn't have counted a pickpocket as they probably don't have an employer and the pickpocket is more of a type of thievery rather than a type of employment. Unless they are employed by the Thieves Guild. As for self-employment, that would usually need to be providing goods or services, but pickpocketing is simply a one way transaction which does not provide benefit to anyone, it's just a way to survive.
I appreciate the angle you came at the ad from. Rather than making unsubstantiated claims about all the magical properties of a supplement, you focused on the fact that it's a fun little routine, regardless of if it actually works or not. Kudos.
10:25 Not only is he unemployed, his brother is Ulfric's second-in-command. So basically this guy is the male sibling version of those losers who are like "My husband is a General"
Guy is the brother of the highest ranking man in the army (also the jarl's bodyguard) and yet doesn't have a house and spends his time drinking and insulting people.
What a loser.
Your videos are awesome. They really take entire worlds that are painstakingly crafted and give them the appreciation they deserve. You manage to get me to look at this world ive spent 1000+ hours in through a totally different lens, and I appreciate you for that.
swapping the title to ask us instead of giving us the answer might just be the perfect hook
I hadn't even registered the flip but that is really clever!
I've been commenting about that on multiple videos he's done. My complaint is that when he put the total in the title I had no reason to continue watching because I got my answer. Very happy to see he's changed that approach.
08:46 had me hyena cackling. Austin, in a youtube overrun with loud, overstated, hyperbolic, overstimulating content, your videos are some of the only ones that I can watch when I'm not happy, and it makes me happy again.
It's like we are all newbies to this job and he is the supervisor, taking us into the field. Just a huge gang of people scribbling down his every word on a notepad, comparing notes with one another.
Been subscribed since your first video, and I have to say it’s great to see you getting 6 digit view counts. It’s this kind of goofy, niche yet accessible content that’s keeping an increasingly stale internet alive.
i adore the small details like the text being backwards when they’re walking awayy
omg that old guy almost ratted you out about the juice (edit is it like milky?)
The slightly different titling scheme had me worried it was going to be a wild and out there video.
Glad to see it was the same quality i've begun to get used to. You hover above the line of boring just beautifully. please make another.
Austin is like a crossbreed between bill wurtz and a therapy Labrador
Not sure if anyone has said this but.
Your knowledge of social economics and they way it breaks down into tangible information.
Along with the perfection of your acting.
Portraying the satire of how politicians give speeches.
Dude you deserve an Oscar.
Btw, remember the place where they sell scooma? Part of the vampire quest line. I wonder if the food they make there is any good. The vibes are probably not too good
Those two areas qre unlocked by following the "Blood on the Ice" questline that was initiated with the body in the graveyard and questioning them. Known as the most broken quest in Skyrim.
I've found following the walkthrough on UESP Wiki allows it to never fail.
I love this channel.
You have got to be my favourite Austin of all.
Yesssssss I knew you had one more coming out and you didn't disappoint. Thank you I needed this after a week of nonsense irl stuff, for some reason this series helped me mellow out. Thank you Thank you Thank you
