Great to hear your thoughts. Your content will continue to evolve as your story does, know that you have people that enjoy it for the person and do what you need to!
I'm very happy for you that it turned out like this for you. You're a great personality and I love your content and the way you do everything. Keep it up dude! Love it!
In a online world where everyone is trying to be and do the most outlandish shit I was immediately enticed by your humbleness and straight forward personality.
Exactly this. I've also never seen anyone make such an honest attempt to see all sides or positions of issues. DM makes a real attempt to see things from varying perspectives.
I honestly haven’t watched you much ever since I dropped playing D4 entirely sometime during Season 1, but I’ll always stay subbed and catch one or two of your videos per month to see how you’re doing. Really happy for your success, and couldn’t be happier that it happened to such a down-to-earth human being. Cheers and congrats to your continued success, DM! You’ve totally earned it, man. 🎉
Super happy for you man - one of those that was drawn to your content during the 6 months leading up to D4. This blow up has been one of the most encouraging things I've seen on the internet. Humble and you give recognition to the people who support you in a way I don't feel like I've really seen. Been going through hard times personally but stories like this give me hope. Nothing but love and support man. - keep crushing it!
I finished my work day and hour and a half ago, I have one of those cubicle-esque (I do a lot of work from home, sometimes into the office) jobs. This is definitely the kind of wholesome pick-me-up that I needed today. You're a legend man, and I'm happy for you to enjoy all the success that is to come! You did it!
Dude! Just keep being yourself, working hard, and don't fall victim to all the fake stuff out there and the success will continue to take care of itself. You are as authentic as it gets in 2024, keep enjoying your life and the journey.
Thanks for sharing your story! So glad to see the support you're getting, it's well deserved. I've been diving into Last Epoch and I hope to see further content of that game from you as well. Congrats and good luck on your new beginnings. You've got more greatness ahead of you!
Awww I’m so happy for you!!! I haven’t been able to watch your lives these days, so I catch up with your YT videos. You’re super nice, straightforward, and humble. You deserve this, especially after your tough journey dealing with nasty ppl and then doing something you love. I wish you the best!
Its always lovely when ppl who dont play the game a streamer makes content about loves the content! That just tell you alot about the creator, that they have personality! And man this dude got it!
You know, I don't remember ever seeing you with a smile as the resting facial expression. It looks fantastic and I am SO happy for you man! I am 45, coming up on 46 and my channel (not this account) just broke through 125 subs. So I have a long way to go, but I have direction and the channel is growing. Heck, I even received 2 congratulatory messages from total strangers on hitting 100 subs! So, from a person who's working on the way out to one who's living the way out: High five! 😀
Every one of these life update videos make me cry, because we got to live with you through all of it, we got to see the good guy win. That's something the world needs to see way more often.
I’m 37. I recently told my wife that for the first time in my life, I actually feel incredibly happy. As much as things suck right now- groceries, prices, everything- I’m actually so happy. It’s something I really wish more people could feel. It’s unlike anything I’ve felt before. I’m so happy to hear that you are getting to that place. Well deserved, great guy, someone who you can really relate to. Happy to hear it bud!
For the last few years I've felt the same way, a year or two behind you in age. Feels like everything is finally paying off, I'm happy and content with life.
@@wiggelzz11 I'd say, find the problems, identify solutions, and make small, incremental, but real steps towards implementing those solutions. Each time something is fixed, solved, or improved, you just got a little happier. At some point, you realize all the problems that remain are things you can't change and have started to accept, or they really aren't that big of a deal anyways (you know, after housing, food, children, etc are all taken care of), and you can settle back be happy.
So great to see this. I started up D4 in December of last year and your stuff has been invaluable. You've saved me so much grind and time. The drive you have for content is obvious and it's great to see it get better and better. Here for it.
Hi DM. I worked that phone job for 16 years(have tinnitus in both ear from it too). I relived your pain when you spoke of how not wanting to go to sleep at night. For me it was high anxiety on Sunday nights that were the worst. I was good at the job, soothing voice helped calm the irates. My job flew me to Texas and Louisiana for months to train, for this I am grateful (am Canadian). I raised 3 boys on my meager wages. I am so happy that you were able to cut free and prosper at what you love to do. I wish I did. Tinnitus sucks.
I have a lot of video to go but just going off of other comments- Darth, I started watching right at the start of D4 and just before you started to get reaction content and bigger views, and man, you've absolutely deserved every bit of it. From the first video I saw you, I got a great vibe. Your content is level-headed, well-made, concise, and heartfelt. I absolutely love watching your videos no matter what they're about.
Thanks for sharing, you are really good at making these raw kind of vids! Mostly because you are genuine and you're an interesting guy. Don't forget that you put in the time and worked your ass off to get where you are now. I don't even play diablo since season one but stuck around cuz you're an entertainer at heart. Keep doing what you do and try to enjoy the success, you deserve it.
It’s looking so nice! The room suits you, wholesome with some flair. Time wise I don’t get to see you on Twitch but will always view your UA-cam content. Thank you
Ten seconds in and the happiness on your face is so great!!! You have been so genuine everyday that I have watched you and the happiness you are feeling is what you deserve it is fantastic to see you doing well.
congrats on the upgrades dude, well deserved. I subbed bc I like your no bs delivery, honesty, and the care with which you speak. You are dependable and knowledgeable. As long as you keep doing those things (which I have no doubt you will) I'll watch anything you cover. Breath easy and keep up the good work :)
Love your humility and gratitude, this is why I subscribed, proud of you brother!!! Love your content....I am so encouraged the GGG family has reeled you in, the streamers, the developers, your in BRO, they all love you! Love all your POE, POE2 content!!! (totally hyped for POE2) Keep being you, and its OK to feel good about yourself and be happy!!! 😁
Dude! I am so happy for you. I discovered you as per D4. I found you refreshing. Intelligent. Sharp. Funny and friendly. Well spoken. And your conversation structure is very easy to follow. When you get a smidge off track. You bring us back clean and easy. I was wondering if your life was changing. You DID seem to blow up. I'm glad I could help in my tiny way. We can see your life awareness on camera. You seem legit thankful. I am glad I have a good judge of character. Lol Anyway. 🤘✌️
pretty sure i am one of those people who picked up diablo 4, wanted to play druid, and discovered your channel. glad i did, and glad to see you thriving. :)
Hey man, I came across your channel when I viewed the video you made explaining the paragon board in D4. You explained it VERY well, come across as likeable, humble and a guy people want to root for and see do well. Happy for you and your journey. Keep it going man.
I started watching your videos when d4 came out but i stayed because you just seemed like a genuine guy, i watch most of your videos no matter what youre talking about or playing. I dont even play d4 anymore and you convinced me to play poe. Heres hoping last epoch breaks the internet and you get even more growth! Congrats man. In a world of ridiculous internet personalities its nice to see someone make it just by being themselves.
Been subbed and watching you since Swgoh days. Seen a lot of your ups and downs. I’ve always come back to your channel because of you, even if I’m not playing what you’re playing because of you. I was really happy to see your channel blow up. I remember when you started livestreams and actually were able to respond 😂, though I can’t catch many livestreams due to time difference between us. Anyway, keep being you bro, it’s why a lot of us come back. Much love from Australia.
I found you because D4 was about to drop and you were very knowledgeable and you were down to earth! Even tho I don’t play D4 anymore I’m still subbed to you and it’s crazy to see how much your channel has grown, congratulations! You’ve earned it
The first video I watched of yours was the video that isn't available anymore, but it really stuck with me. Genuine wholesome fella just getting it done out there. Keep up the good work and always make time for yourself.
14:49 LMAO THATS FACTS 🤣 I’ve never understood how people can do it. I’m so happy for you man, I’m 27 and I feel like its too late sometimes. the fact that you’re 33 and you say you’re young is really inspiring. Thank you for being the chillest youtuber in history man, I know we don’t know each other but i’m proud of you bro seriously.
I'm 42, didn't really find a great job until 3 years ago. But now I'm finally doing well, was just surviving before. Keep grinding, and you'll always eventually figure it out.
My dude, I found your channel right around when D4 dropped like most people did I'm sure. You continue to be the most wholesome and down to earth mf around. You make great content and bring such a chill, refreshing perspective to things in a world of negativity and chasing trends/ riding hype trains. I've continued to watch you despite having moved on and off of D4, and I'm not going anywhere. Congrats on the new place and all the success this past year! Here's to many more! Keep on being you!
I'm currently experiencing the "don't want to go to bed because I have to go to work tomorrow" thing in my life, except I'm already 37, with average school grades, didn't study anything because I wasn't "allowed" to if that makes sense, so I was forced into working in low pay physical labour jobs, glad you made it out of that hell, I can absolutely relate. You are my escape from reality.
Love to see your success DM! I've been around since the Diablo stuff wondering who this new guy is that keeps popping up and I have to say that you're one of the few people that seem completely genuine and you deserve all the success that's coming your way. By the way, I saw your Calvin and Hobbes collectors set in the background the other day. I'm a huge fan myself and have read all of them probably multiple times. Congrats on the house!
I stumbled upon your content of D4 by chance one day, and so far I've been hooked ever since. The ups and downs, and even when it's not about D4, I've found myself listening to you as a podcast even while working. You're awesome at what you do man! Keep it up and congrats on moving on up in life! It's all about progression, and you're getting there further and further.
I'm happy everything worked out fine for you! I recently thinking a lot what i could do, i can't really work in a normal job due to a mental condition, but i do also think that i'm quite boring and not entertaining enough to try it through youtube or streaming. Watching vids like these always keep me thinking, hoping that maybe i can find some idea aswell. Kinda hard atm, but i'm super happy to see you succeed in it, keep it going!
Congrats to you! Started watching during DI. Don't play that or D4 anymore but still enjoy watching your vids. It's great to see a good person finding success.
Thank you for sharing @DM I only recently got D4 in December, finding you shortly thereafter as I got into the game. Ever since you videos are in the group that I look out for, hoping for a new video and happy when there is one.
So extremely happy for you! Been watching your streams and your journey for quite a while and to see you rise to where you are now is really inspiring. Here is to many more years of success and growth. CHEERS! 🍻
Man I feel this, I recently went full time UA-cam and while that has it's own stresses I got to leave a similar job as yourself but it was with domestic violence survivors and it was so soul draining & miserable. Idk how long I'd have been around too if I want to keep it real, I saw a video of yours ages ago where you were teary eyed and so defeated & I been watching ever since. Glad to see your life change man!
hell yeah, so glad to see you thriving. i remember seeing your video about living in alaska a while back and thinking you were such a refreshing voice in this space
I dont look at all your content, but I really enjoy seeing how you are doing. You have a great personnality and it feels like checking on an old pal haha. You are awesome, love the new setup!
It is so cool to witness your journey and I'm so very happy for you DM! I found your UA-cam channel because I too was only interested in playing Druid since it didn't seem as popular (during beta with a 32dps meme) and I suspected that it would be an end game powerhouse. What I enjoy and learned most from your videos are to just have fun, experiment and don't be afraid to play the game the way I want, even if it's not the most popular or widely used meta. Thank you for being you, and keep on shining and inspiring buddy!
Congrats man! Loved the content since I found you (right before D4 launch) and you're killing it! Well deserved and I can't wait to see you continue to flower/flourish! 😛
congrats!! one of the reasons i watch your channel is mostly you get straight to the point and for busy people that’s extremely valuable. you’re also pretty down to earth so that’s cool too :) keep up the good work!
Congrats on your success! Glad to hear it happened for you doing what you enjoy doing and that you are getting to enjoy life a little bit. Keep up the videos. Nice to see you are on PoE. Just got back into it myself. Happy I get to see you posting on it as your videos are some of the better ones to watch IMO. Hope you get continued success while maintaining who you are.
Congrats on your big move... it brought a smile to watch you so excited to be able to move around the room!! I watch a lot of your D4 content.. as I play D4. Keep doing what you are doing, I think you are awesome
You got me bawling here. I jumped on with the Diablo 4 thing and while my interest in the game quickly faded, I really liked watching you react to yourself grow. So chill and relaxing, in a time in my own life where I am about to be 39 and I am living in a box. Been homeless since floods destroyed everything i've ever owned and sleeping on the couch in a friends one bedroom apartment. We have been looking for a new place for about 6 months now (far longer than my interest in D4 was) and things are feeling really grim for me but I have always enjoyed your content (that you must have been breaking yourself to make) because it was just a source of chill and relaxing. Your voice has a soothing and calming quality over me and it has helped for ages. Seeing you get so emotional over your little box... YOUR space to call your own, the sense of security you are feeling and radiating... Man, I am SO fucking happy for you, and I cannot wait to share in it with you. You have really truly absolutely earned your security and space. Im proud of you.
Been following you for a long time DM, and it's nice to see things improving for you. You're a talented content creator, and you got this. Onwards and upwards my friend. Love you.
Congratulations man you really deserve it when I first started watching your Diablo 4 videos I really assumed that you been a UA-camr for a while so glad to see you’re an upcoming creator I hope you’re really successful and can change your life for the better being down in the dumps struggling sucks I’m glad you’re out of there
It is good to make progress, I agree. I was struggling in my early 30s too; it is almost a strange feeling to find success after so many years of feeling rotten about things.
Super, super, super happy for you! Entirely different niche for me, but I too am starting to get things together in life and it feels great! Can totally relate to the soul crushing bit. My call center experience is luckily not as bad as your has been, but it's still not my favorite. Even still, feeling stuck doing something you don't love is just about the worst.... Best of luck in the future ❤❤❤❤❤
@@whosurjustin Theoretically you're allowed to do anything outside if you're not harming anyone or trespass, doesn't mean that people who are around you like it lol. Usually people who are obnoxiously loud don't give a shit about what other people think about their behavior, which makes for a very bad neighbor :D
You can yell at your kids but let’s be honest, there’s a ton of shitty parents that yell at their kids for no good reason. They are trash that just happened to have kids, and those poor kids have no role models or any idea of what healthy and functioning relationships should look like. I’m willing to bet he’s talking about bad parents yelling at their kids.
I’m super happy for you man I don’t even stick around for the games or content specifically so much as I like your personality and how you present things. If I could chime in with one piece of advice though. As happy as you are to be in a house renting, get out of the renting trap asap. Owning a house and only paying property taxes will be such a huge difference. Try to get and pay off a house asap. Try not to mortgage and just start dumping money into retirement after the house is sorted. If you can get steady medium risk diversified portfolios you can be set for life. My whole family passed by the time I was 33 and I invested everything I inherited. There will come a point for most people where working will no longer be an option be it age, physical or mental health and you want to protect yourself financially for that point or be able to retire early enough to enjoy being retired and not being too old to do anything. Anyway really happy to see you doing well I hope it continues to grow and get even better.
happy for you man, glad things are panning out for you. I know what it's like to work in a soul crushing environment and, happy you managed to break those shackles and do what you really love. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video. Love to see this. I've been a "lurker" fan since back in D:I. Everything that's happening for you is absolutely deserved. Keep on killing it.
good shit man, i do hope your story of rising above can be seen by others who also have few prospects, anecdotes as such help people find the means to carry on and push forward, good content, fuck anyone who's rude to internet strangers to a degree its emotionally damaging. Keep it going, bro
Dude I am so happy to see all the success you have had. Your content is amazing and you seem like a legit awesome and genuine guy. Thank you for all you do, and wishing you nothing but continued success
Super stoked for you bro, you provide way more than content keep that in mind. I relate a lot and you give motivation for personal growth as well, so thank you for being you :)
Dude your videos are awesome. I love all of them. I also interested in your personal life and your journey because I think you have a rags to riches story that gives people hope that you can work for something and get it. You are cool dude, keep up the videos :D
Your content is refreshing, I started watching you after the Ziz interview. Glad to see you making it work. Looking forward to you in Last Epoc. All the best, Cheers
Listening all the way from Margate in the UK. Love watching your contact. Good luck in your new home and keep up the great content. Looking forward to watching your LE vids.

Great to hear your thoughts. Your content will continue to evolve as your story does, know that you have people that enjoy it for the person and do what you need to!
I'm very happy for you that it turned out like this for you. You're a great personality and I love your content and the way you do everything. Keep it up dude! Love it!
Hell yeah, so happy for you!

In a online world where everyone is trying to be and do the most outlandish shit I was immediately enticed by your humbleness and straight forward personality.
💯
Nailed it.
Asmongold gave him a substantial boost. I agree with your comment entirely.
Exactly this. I've also never seen anyone make such an honest attempt to see all sides or positions of issues. DM makes a real attempt to see things from varying perspectives.
Yeah I came for the real personality in a sea of hype, but I am staying because of those pants
Guy happy about being able to walk around in a room 😂 this is the most wholesome shit man. Happy for you! 🎉
I honestly haven’t watched you much ever since I dropped playing D4 entirely sometime during Season 1, but I’ll always stay subbed and catch one or two of your videos per month to see how you’re doing. Really happy for your success, and couldn’t be happier that it happened to such a down-to-earth human being. Cheers and congrats to your continued success, DM! You’ve totally earned it, man. 🎉
Can't wait for his last epoch videos. I've been loving the EA of LE.
I wish I could’ve had your willpower. I just quit, the game is so bad
Super happy for you man - one of those that was drawn to your content during the 6 months leading up to D4. This blow up has been one of the most encouraging things I've seen on the internet. Humble and you give recognition to the people who support you in a way I don't feel like I've really seen. Been going through hard times personally but stories like this give me hope.

You saved your own life, UA-cam was just your avenue. Be proud . Much love
👏👏👏
This.
Yeeeee this is true
This is the nicest comment i have ever seen.
how did he save his own life? a bit confused
Dude I honestly just fucking love everything about you man. Have never rooted so hard/much for an online personality, but you deserve all of it man.

Darth, you put in the work and deserve your success. I wish you even more success this year and many many more years to come.
I've been following your Journey, it's been absolutely wild and you deserve all the success!
Thanks for sharing your story! So glad to see the support you're getting, it's well deserved. I've been diving into Last Epoch and I hope to see further content of that game from you as well. Congrats and good luck on your new beginnings. You've got more greatness ahead of you!

Congratulation. Please make video four India four be fareness.

I discovered you as per D4.
I found you refreshing.
Intelligent. Sharp. Funny and friendly.
Well spoken. And your conversation structure is very easy to follow.
When you get a smidge off track. You bring us back clean and easy.
I was wondering if your life was changing. You DID seem to blow up.
I'm glad I could help in my tiny way.
We can see your life awareness on camera. You seem legit thankful.
I am glad I have a good judge of character. Lol
Anyway. 🤘✌️
pretty sure i am one of those people who picked up diablo 4, wanted to play druid, and discovered your channel. glad i did, and glad to see you thriving. :)

Bro I just hit 40. Even now it's not to late for anything. I am more skilled and capable than I ever was.
Bro just hit 46, stay young and enjoy life on your terms not what people say you need to be
I'm 42, didn't really find a great job until 3 years ago. But now I'm finally doing well, was just surviving before. Keep grinding, and you'll always eventually figure it out.
My dude, I found your channel right around when D4 dropped like most people did I'm sure. You continue to be the most wholesome and down to earth mf around. You make great content and bring such a chill, refreshing perspective to things in a world of negativity and chasing trends/ riding hype trains. I've continued to watch you despite having moved on and off of D4, and I'm not going anywhere. Congrats on the new place and all the success this past year! Here's to many more! Keep on being you!
Congrats Dm! Keep doin your channel as u did, u are great! Best wishes from germany🎉
So wholesome 🥹 so happy and proud for you, you deserve the success and more!
I'm currently experiencing the "don't want to go to bed because I have to go to work tomorrow" thing in my life, except I'm already 37, with average school grades, didn't study anything because I wasn't "allowed" to if that makes sense, so I was forced into working in low pay physical labour jobs, glad you made it out of that hell, I can absolutely relate. You are my escape from reality.
get into a trade. They pay you to go to school and starting wage is usually decently good. Just required honest and hard work.
Big W fam!! You were all you needed the whole time bro!! Congratulations
Love to see your success DM! I've been around since the Diablo stuff wondering who this new guy is that keeps popping up and I have to say that you're one of the few people that seem completely genuine and you deserve all the success that's coming your way. By the way, I saw your Calvin and Hobbes collectors set in the background the other day. I'm a huge fan myself and have read all of them probably multiple times. Congrats on the house!
Glad things are going well for you man, you deserve it! Love your vids. Life is full of highs and lows, gotta make the most of it.
Congrats brother! Great to see you doing well
I stumbled upon your content of D4 by chance one day, and so far I've been hooked ever since. The ups and downs, and even when it's not about D4, I've found myself listening to you as a podcast even while working. You're awesome at what you do man! Keep it up and congrats on moving on up in life! It's all about progression, and you're getting there further and further.
I'm happy everything worked out fine for you! I recently thinking a lot what i could do, i can't really work in a normal job due to a mental condition, but i do also think that i'm quite boring and not entertaining enough to try it through youtube or streaming. Watching vids like these always keep me thinking, hoping that maybe i can find some idea aswell. Kinda hard atm, but i'm super happy to see you succeed in it, keep it going!
Congrats to you! Started watching during DI. Don't play that or D4 anymore but still enjoy watching your vids. It's great to see a good person finding success.
Congrats man...I hope your channel continues to grow. I'll be here for it
Thank you for sharing @DM I only recently got D4 in December, finding you shortly thereafter as I got into the game. Ever since you videos are in the group that I look out for, hoping for a new video and happy when there is one.
So extremely happy for you! Been watching your streams and your journey for quite a while and to see you rise to where you are now is really inspiring. Here is to many more years of success and growth. CHEERS! 🍻
Man I feel this, I recently went full time UA-cam and while that has it's own stresses I got to leave a similar job as yourself but it was with domestic violence survivors and it was so soul draining & miserable. Idk how long I'd have been around too if I want to keep it real, I saw a video of yours ages ago where you were teary eyed and so defeated & I been watching ever since. Glad to see your life change man!
hell yeah, so glad to see you thriving. i remember seeing your video about living in alaska a while back and thinking you were such a refreshing voice in this space
I'm so glad to be apart of the community that helped build you into a successful streamer. Every view has been worth it.
I dont look at all your content, but I really enjoy seeing how you are doing. You have a great personnality and it feels like checking on an old pal haha. You are awesome, love the new setup!
It is so cool to witness your journey and I'm so very happy for you DM!
I found your UA-cam channel because I too was only interested in playing Druid since it didn't seem as popular (during beta with a 32dps meme) and I suspected that it would be an end game powerhouse.
What I enjoy and learned most from your videos are to just have fun, experiment and don't be afraid to play the game the way I want, even if it's not the most popular or widely used meta.
Thank you for being you, and keep on shining and inspiring buddy!
We luv you, DM. You deserve all good things!!! CONGRATS!!!!!! #BigUpAlaska
Congrats man! Loved the content since I found you (right before D4 launch) and you're killing it! Well deserved and I can't wait to see you continue to flower/flourish! 😛
Glad you came up on suggestions, subscribed during first video I watched. I wish you well and great success, thank you for being a content creator.
genuinely enjoy watching your content, keep it up man!
congrats!! one of the reasons i watch your channel is mostly you get straight to the point and for busy people that’s extremely valuable. you’re also pretty down to earth so that’s cool too :) keep up the good work!
Dude. You're such a genuine guy. I love this content. Good on you for crushing it! You deserve it. ❤
Congrats on your success! Glad to hear it happened for you doing what you enjoy doing and that you are getting to enjoy life a little bit. Keep up the videos. Nice to see you are on PoE. Just got back into it myself. Happy I get to see you posting on it as your videos are some of the better ones to watch IMO. Hope you get continued success while maintaining who you are.
Congrats on your big move... it brought a smile to watch you so excited to be able to move around the room!! I watch a lot of your D4 content.. as I play D4. Keep doing what you are doing, I think you are awesome
You got me bawling here.
I jumped on with the Diablo 4 thing and while my interest in the game quickly faded, I really liked watching you react to yourself grow. So chill and relaxing, in a time in my own life where I am about to be 39 and I am living in a box. Been homeless since floods destroyed everything i've ever owned and sleeping on the couch in a friends one bedroom apartment. We have been looking for a new place for about 6 months now (far longer than my interest in D4 was) and things are feeling really grim for me but I have always enjoyed your content (that you must have been breaking yourself to make) because it was just a source of chill and relaxing. Your voice has a soothing and calming quality over me and it has helped for ages.
Seeing you get so emotional over your little box... YOUR space to call your own, the sense of security you are feeling and radiating... Man, I am SO fucking happy for you, and I cannot wait to share in it with you. You have really truly absolutely earned your security and space. Im proud of you.
This really did inspire me. Been creating content for about 4 months now and am seeing a bit of growth. Thank you for this.
Been following you for a long time DM, and it's nice to see things improving for you. You're a talented content creator, and you got this. Onwards and upwards my friend. Love you.
Congratulations man you really deserve it when I first started watching your Diablo 4 videos I really assumed that you been a UA-camr for a while so glad to see you’re an upcoming creator I hope you’re really successful and can change your life for the better being down in the dumps struggling sucks I’m glad you’re out of there
It is good to make progress, I agree. I was struggling in my early 30s too; it is almost a strange feeling to find success after so many years of feeling rotten about things.
Yeah the 20’s are rough for most guys.
Never stop being exactly you man. So refreshing ❤
Super, super, super happy for you! Entirely different niche for me, but I too am starting to get things together in life and it feels great! Can totally relate to the soul crushing bit. My call center experience is luckily not as bad as your has been, but it's still not my favorite. Even still, feeling stuck doing something you don't love is just about the worst.... Best of luck in the future ❤❤❤❤❤
GZ Dude ... Hard work usually always pays off in the long run!
I feel you on the neighbors part. I am in the same situation with the yelling and the kids.
Are people not supposed/allowed to yell at their kids? Seriously curious
@@whosurjustin Theoretically you're allowed to do anything outside if you're not harming anyone or trespass, doesn't mean that people who are around you like it lol. Usually people who are obnoxiously loud don't give a shit about what other people think about their behavior, which makes for a very bad neighbor :D
@@DoctorStrange01 Exactly that.
@@whosurjustinIf you have to yell at your kids it's because you're not smart enough to communicate or get respect from your kids.
You can yell at your kids but let’s be honest, there’s a ton of shitty parents that yell at their kids for no good reason. They are trash that just happened to have kids, and those poor kids have no role models or any idea of what healthy and functioning relationships should look like. I’m willing to bet he’s talking about bad parents yelling at their kids.
Congratulations
Congratulations bro it’s definitely always the best feeling when you get it out the mud.. keep striving for greatness 🙌💯💯🍾🎊
I haven't played D4 in months but still watch your videos. You're great! Stoked for you.
I’m super happy for you man I don’t even stick around for the games or content specifically so much as I like your personality and how you present things. If I could chime in with one piece of advice though. As happy as you are to be in a house renting, get out of the renting trap asap. Owning a house and only paying property taxes will be such a huge difference. Try to get and pay off a house asap. Try not to mortgage and just start dumping money into retirement after the house is sorted. If you can get steady medium risk diversified portfolios you can be set for life. My whole family passed by the time I was 33 and I invested everything I inherited. There will come a point for most people where working will no longer be an option be it age, physical or mental health and you want to protect yourself financially for that point or be able to retire early enough to enjoy being retired and not being too old to do anything. Anyway really happy to see you doing well I hope it continues to grow and get even better.
Dude I am absolutely here for your content, you keep it coming as you can and I'll be here to watch it :D
Really happy for you man! Miss the Christmas tree, but your new setup looks great!!
happy for you man, glad things are panning out for you. I know what it's like to work in a soul crushing environment and, happy you managed to break those shackles and do what you really love. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video. Love to see this. I've been a "lurker" fan since back in D:I. Everything that's happening for you is absolutely deserved. Keep on killing it.
Thank you for your content. You deserve all the success. Playing D4 along side your journey was an incredible experience.
Not a regular viewer, but I pop by every now and then, awesome to see you getting what you deserve. Best of luck!
Been following you since you started D4. Always loved your content. Keep it up!
good shit man, i do hope your story of rising above can be seen by others who also have few prospects, anecdotes as such help people find the means to carry on and push forward, good content, fuck anyone who's rude to internet strangers to a degree its emotionally damaging. Keep it going, bro
Dude I am so happy to see all the success you have had. Your content is amazing and you seem like a legit awesome and genuine guy. Thank you for all you do, and wishing you nothing but continued success
Extremely happy for you! I love how humbled you are by everything. Keep doing what you're doing because this is only the beginning for you!
Dude, you are a good dude. Super happy to see how you've grown, I'm here for it all! I appreciate your transparency.
Started watching you for that Marvel mmo game. Always liked your content. Congrats, stay wholesome, and keep growing your career.
Super stoked for you bro, you provide way more than content keep that in mind. I relate a lot and you give motivation for personal growth as well, so thank you for being you :)
Really happy for you man, I stopped playing Diablo quite a while ago and never got into PoE but I watch your streams all the time
Dude your videos are awesome. I love all of them. I also interested in your personal life and your journey because I think you have a rags to riches story that gives people hope that you can work for something and get it. You are cool dude, keep up the videos :D
Your content is refreshing, I started watching you after the Ziz interview. Glad to see you making it work. Looking forward to you in Last Epoc. All the best, Cheers
Listening all the way from Margate in the UK. Love watching your contact. Good luck in your new home and keep up the great content. Looking forward to watching your LE vids.
happy for you man! keep up the hard work! Best wishes!
So happy for you, I started following you since the Diablo 4 launch. Cheers from Italy
Its always good to see people reaching their goals. Ive been around since the immortal days even watched ur videos after i quit playing it.
