      Hey, DM! I know this is a little off topic, but how’s your van coming along? I remember you were quite interested in getting that “Truly” mobile gaming idea going! Where’s it at these days? 😁

    Just such a nice guy. I started watching you when D4 came out and you were talking about the druid changes. I just like how genuine you are and how the conversation flows naturally.
    Keep it up, mate, i'll still be watching whatever you put out. 👍✌

    Found you on RAID, and then came back across your content for Diablo 4 and so refreshing. Your gaming journey very much a familiar tale, started with Miniclip, then onto Runescape, then onto WoW and Guild Wars and then the full circle back round to Runescape funny how everything works out and how a generation of gamers all started at the same points! :D

    I was in the stream half listening to this while packing. Was planning to rewatch it so I'm glad you put that section here! You made a short about how bad it can get if YT fails and now that you've mentioned you were married, I wonder if all of what you said there is closer to home than I initially thought. Keep it up! You inspire me to be more positive in my life.

    I'm one of the many who recently found you through Asmon. Just a couple seconds into watching you for the first time, I got the feeling "he's one of us," and that was that - I've enjoyed the Remnant, D4, touching grass, and Baldur's Gate stuff, and I imagine I'd be able to watch you stream anything. I feel kind of lucky that my own channel (under an entirely different handle) is a super small but pretty durable niche (that has nothing to do with entertainment), so I can more or less fully exempt myself from really learning all the YT algorithm stuff.
    Had NO clue you were married at one point though. [The More You Know rainbow]

    I also got into gaming with my dad. The first game I remember was a game were played as gorillas threwing bananas at each other. Way later when I was a teenage girl he even played Lineage II with me. Nobody online would ever believe me, that I was actually a girl and the dwarf next to me was my dad. But I remember the time very fondly. Now I’m 38 and I enjoy playing with my 7 year old son. I really hope we‘ll still play together aswell when he’s older!

    Man descent was my favorite game back then. I was like 15 when it came out and it was the only game my father played with me aside from tecmo Superbowl like a decade earlier. Great game I was pretty upset when the cancelled the console version of the new game. I wanted to play it on the TV with my kids but alas, it never happened. I still have ps1s, I should find a copy and force them to play it so I can relive memories.

  • @Azrael79a

    When I was like 4 and my brother was 3, we used to play Mortal Kombat. We had Nintendo 64, but I don't remember whether we really played it. We mostly started on Sega Genesis. I don't remember ever being 'scared' of anything in regards to gaming back then. Except maybe the game breaking for whatever reason or having to take out a cartridge and blow on it lol. My little brother used to be really good at memorizing and performing fatalities, while I always sucked at it. Then later on, when I was like 6 or 7, I started playing Diablo 2, Starcraft, Warcraft et cetera. Back then, we didn't really have the internet, so tiny naked pixel demons seemed pretty awesome. My mother freaked out when she saw me trying to draw them in more detail though lmfao.

    I had a very similar childhood in regards to gaming. My dad bought me a ps1 when that first came out. I was 5 at the time, and he bought himself alien trilogy and metal gear solid. Those two games were my entry to the gaming world. I’m 33 and still think of those memories today when I’m gaming. Sadly, we fell out and haven’t spoken for over 15 years.
    My 3 kids all play games. My 13 and 11 year old boys absolute love it and my 4 year old loves playing Mario kart. It’s great.
    I’ve recent gotten my wife into gaming more since Diablo 3. She got her own Xbox now and we play Diablo 4 every day.

    I remember watching your dad play Descent and Myst on that PC! I remember playing Street Fighter with you at the apartment and you owning me with Blanca. Another game I remember your dad playing was an RPG called Day of the Tentacle.
    Of course I remember the MSN Gaming Zone AOE2 days with your brother and the rest of WFC clan.
    And I remember your roadtrip across the country and playing PSO on the GameCube with you in our living room.
    Watching your streams, I see a lot of your dad's influence. Always hilarious. You should tell some of your dad's craziness like the time they almost died on the snowmobile trip with grandpa. Amazing video for me as a trip down memory lane--so cool for your community to hear your origin story.

    Man, I freaking love you haha :p We've had so many similar experiences growing up and being a part of games, it 's just really cool dude. My very first gaming experience was when my mom owned a Super Nintendo, and would play a pool game, I think it was super billiards or something, she also had The Lion King, and that was fun to watch, after that we started living with my dad after they had divorced, and he had bought us a Sega Genesis, at least I think he did, I don't really remember where it came from, maybe it came from my mom, but we had Aladdin, Sonic The Hedgehog, Sub Terrania, MERCS, Streets of Rage 2, oh man, it was awesome, I spent sooo many years of my young kid life playing on that system until for Christmas my dad had bought 3 Play station systems, one for the living room, one for me, and one for my brother, it was the best time of my life, I got to play Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9, The Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Twsited Metal, Crash Bash, Crash Bandicoot, I mean, there were some great games for that system. Then I started getting into computer games, the first computer game I ever played was The Sims, me and my brother loved that game, he actually really loves The Sims games, that's like one of his absolute favorite games ever, but then one of my high school friends got me into RuneScape, and I've been playing this game since 2006, almost 20 years, but not quite, after that I was pretty much hooked onto computers and I also got introduced to Diablo and some others as well.

    I remember C&C red alert when my brother got me into Pc gaming. When I was a kid I had 3 older brothers. The oldest brother would try to finish a level. we all took turns and every time it came to my turn my oldest brother would take the controller and say I can pass this level. so my turn to play kept getting skipped. as a adult no one is taking my game from me lol . I started gaming in the Atari years
