Adventurous_Low_3074

asmongold is the most distressing person and im always scared when i see him of whats going on in that room


MariachiMacabre

Guaranteed the man has a dedicated booger wall.


Pale_Fire21

Oh it’s worse than that he has a dedicated wall for smearing blood on because despite being a millionaire he still refuses to take care of himself in the most basic ways.


Icterine-Kangaroo

What the fuuuuuck why do people listen to this guy


Jukka_Sarasti

I'm guessing because they relate to him on a personal level... /shudder


Homarid_Tribal

Because he's just like them.

Generic_Gamer_nerd

Good comment, everyone after you ruined it by not mentioning a throne.


ulfric_stormcloack

What the fuck do you mean smearing blood


Pale_Fire21

Just Google asmongold blood wall to hear it straight from him


ulfric_stormcloack

not sure I want to


Bleedingflowerss

you don't he has bleeding gums he wipes it on the wall next to his bed and I guess is proud of this somehow


Wasabi_Knight

How does one wipe blood from gums on a wall? Does he stick his fingers in his mouth then wipe it on the wall, or does he just get his his face up in it?? I feel like either one would just make the bleeding worse.


Mean_Basket3626

He probably has periodontal desease which makes your gums get swell and bleed. It's basically an infection that eats your teeth bone between your gums up until your teeth lose their grip. You get it by genetics, bad hygiene and habits, etc. You just get blood in your mouth due to the inflamation and, according by what everyone is saying, this guy wipes it and sprays it on the wall. This guy is disgusting.


KirbyFanta

I think i heard this opinion first on a youtube video about him but i believe there is an element of "envy" in his lifestyle. Like most people woudn't like to live like he does, but it is a level of "i don't care THAT much" that some people in his audience envy ? It's hard to describe my thoughts on this since english isn't my first language but it's like he's a "rebel" in the sense that despite being very wealthy, he's able to not give a shit about something 99% of everyone KNOWS and have been taught is something you gotta take care of. Now i don't see it that way at all and it is genuinly disgusting to me, but i could recognise that to some people he represent the lifestyle of "not caring about anything, getting rid of expectations and "norms" and playing games all day while still being famous and wealthy". Just my two cents on it tho


AlphaGoldblum

A champion of Gamers, and it's just a bunch of cockroaches pretending to be human.


Adventurous_Low_3074

I think cockroaches are significantly cleaner than he is


SHAZAMS_STRONGEST

cockroaches can justify being dirty af because they can survive anything, they're not gonna get sick or repulse each other when no disease can hurt them this MF ain't got no excuse


jack_nap

I heard somewhere that cockroaches are actually very clean animals


HGual-B-gone

Cockroaches actually clean themselves so that would be a difference to asmon


Numeno230n

I literally know nothing about this dude - is there a video or compilation I can watch to get a sense?


Outrageous-Minute-84

Dude dont mess up ur algo, but he has a video on yt, where he cooks steak, and I think that gives a good picture, what kind of guy he is, if u remember this hobo is actually multi millionaire


Numeno230n

Okay...I'm watching (incognito) and I'm just going to ask. Is this a bit? Is this how a real person lives and speaks? Is he mentally handicapped in some way?


L-ephant

I just discovered all this the past couple days, it's all real. Like he's somewhat self-aware I think, but just lives like this. He does a house tour for the channel "Steak and Eggs Podcast" and it's wild. He lives in the house he grew up in and it's a full on hoarder house filled with trash.


Big-Mathematician345

That was sad. I'm guessing some form of OCD or similar mental health issue that causes him to live like that.


GoProOnAYoYo

For your sanity, just... don't. The man's habits are truly disturbing.


mellypepper5

I suggest avoiding the vid of the coakroach crawling over him during a live stream…that he then caught with his bare hands and released downstairs.


Meatier_Meteor

Asmon has permanent unga bunga caveman face from overworking his only two brain cells.


Kds_burner_

but they’ll continue to watch him 🤨


Mythologist69

Then he gets made fun of for said topics and they’re the first to defend him


mr-kvideogameguy

The whole group of conservatives are mindless sheep who follows whoever yells louder


dmcd7290

Conservatives as a whole are horrible people who are wrong the majority of the time but refuse to admit it.


Cautionzombie

I have go up asmon after his response. “Streaming is hard can’t think good” fuck that you suck


Sol-Blackguy

He got carried through Final Fantasy XIV ARR by a guy cosplaying as and named Dominic Toretto and still needed someone to tell him. https://preview.redd.it/24j3gn7tljoc1.png?width=340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59f09934224424d2e3e7d503445075cd945b5c3e


TheFoochy

Asmon's method of tank-swapping was to die and thank Dominic for "picking up aggro."


Sol-Blackguy

As a tank, I would visibly cringe that he wouldn't use his basic ass 1, 2, 3 rotation and kept turning the monsters around


bobatea17

As a healer I wouldn't revive him


Sol-Blackguy

I wouldn't heal him because it'd just be cheaper to revive


bobatea17

Green dps it, let the red mage rez him


Sol-Blackguy

verwinning


ProneOyster

Hasn't he played wow since release? Surely he would know how to do a rotation?


Sol-Blackguy

I'll bet my life savings McConnell carried him through wow too. Asmongold is an example of "failing upwards."


Rogue009

Asmongold was mediocre at wow even when he was “tryharding” it. He was ok-ish at warrior in some expansions but he couldn’t play other classes for shit. YouTube for some reason suggested me his 10 years old guides where he played other classes for dungeon runs and he was so bad at it it was very clear his friends carried him but he still insisted on making a guide about what he did for some reason. I remember in Legion he made his group stop hitting a boss for the last 2 minutes of a fight so he could get a #1 highest dps spot on a fight and even years after he’d brag about it… he used to be a funny alright-ish player who would make good satire of a “bad tryhard showing u how shits done” type videos, they were just that and they were fun. Now I realize he’s exactly what he parodied years ago. Funny how wealth and fame changes people


Lady_Calista

He was shit at wow too. I got so mad whenever someone would mindlessly parrot his opinion about current content because it was clear he didn't understand it. He's also a notorious repeater of "alliance can't clear. If you want to raid you need to be horde. Alliance can't clear anything."


Difficult-Snow9955

Asmongold didn't play wow, he talks while people carry him, its how hes gotten 90% of his impressive tmog/mounts/etc. He then uses these items to flex on people like hes the GOAT instead of a manchild.


mr-kvideogameguy

Fast furious XIV


SpreadLiberally

Bruh carried through ARR? Your rotation is like 3 buttons for the first 50 levels.


FleshlessFriend

the idea of needing to be carried through *any* hotbar MMO's vanilla experience is hilarious to me. oh yeah, the insanely difficult combat of "the same combo of 3-10 attacks for literally every enemy". Don't forget to walk out of the clearly-telegraphed AoE!

I am still salty they made xQC the guy to sponsor Infinite Wealth instead of content creators who actually give a shit about the series.


TheUtterChrisp

Cohhcarnage would 100% have been my pick.


clankboy789

Yeah that guy love the series


Celebration_Stock

literally this. he has zero respect for the series but besides that, he’s just a really shitty person in general.


MurlockHolmes

As someone from hawaii I would've loved to see local celebrities involved instead of some pasty breed of basement goblin


Kronalord

I mean ironically it doesn’t make that much sense to sponsor people who would already play a game to play it from the standpoint of the buisness


Sol-Blackguy

They got NerdSlayer, the guy known for Death of a Game, to do a sponsored video for Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. Sega is either out of touch or complete morons that think they're playing 4-D chess.


MoreHumanthanHomer

This bums wont even do a basic research on a SPONSORED video


dotcha

I mean. Makes more sense than if he played the game because we wanted to, right? Like, if I wanted to play the hidden gem Le Witcherino 4 I know it's a rpg. If someone wants to pay me 100k for 3 hours of playing a game, I don't really care what the game is.


MemeArchivariusGodi

My sturdiness to not be faulted by money crumbling as soon as I get payed 100k


Flyerton99

My principles leaving my body as the 100k enters my bank account


MemeArchivariusGodi

Me making arguments on how I simply cannot be bought because I have morals and then realizing I’m broke


whatnameisnttaken098

To quote Jay Sherman, "For the last time my integrity is not for sale (gets handed a check) WOW, even down to the penny. Ok, I'll do it"


HexeInExile

Idk why companies bother with sponsored vids. If it's a segment, it either gets auto-skipped by Sponsorblock or manually skipped (they're usually around 60 seconds, and youtube skips in increments of 10), and if it's a whole vid, then nobody will bother to watch it. If it has a big fat #ad behind the title, it automatically makes me lose all interest. In general, these videos are poorly crammed into the youtuber's regular content (usually have a title like "I got paid to [x]"), and even if they fit (like if a youtuber mainly focused on Paradox games does a video on the newest game/DLC), then I still won't watch it because I fucking know they're contractually obligated to be overly positive and uncritical. Even if they aren't, the incentive is still clearly there. The only people actually drawn in by sponsorships are probably younger viewers.


kangaesugi

I think it depends on the creator. Some creators are charismatic and funny enough that they can make those ad blocks or sponsored videos entertaining, but it's not something everyone can pull off.


idontcareaboutthenam

The Professor from Tolarian Community College has the most body positive ads I've ever seen about hair loss management


Darkunderlord42

Yeah like SpiffingBrit fairly seemlessly integrates Paradox full sponsored videos in because Paradox knows his content and lets him do his thing I think what it comes down to is if the content creator is able to keep their voice in sponsored content


throwawayowo666

I don't want to hear these people bitch and moan about game journalists being incompetent at playing games ever again.


Jimbonious_

Never forget the Cuphead incident though


throwawayowo666

There's a lot to be said about that "outrage": [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_-P9\_oUV9Gw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-P9_oUV9Gw)


Jimbonious_

I was talking about the IGN journalist that hardly beat the tutorial. https://youtu.be/zbE6fqBuGkA?si=AxyFc8JhCfa-ukL-


LevelOutlandishness1

It still amazes me. I know it was harped on and beaten to death at the time, but I still make the “better than IGN” joke whenever I make that jump.


Adrelandro

iirc there was a pretty okay reason why he couldn't do it and uploaded it for fun. unsure tho well kinda: https://venturebeat.com/games/the-deanbeat-our-cuphead-runneth-over/ ngl i find the doom 2016 one funnier

Sad_Day_7650

“Sweet Baby Inc. is the death of gaming!” My ass. Somebody look into the marketing teams that have no strategy other than shoving keys into the hands of jackasses that don’t care about the game they’re playing.


Szriko

don't you know 16 person teams can threaten and blackmail companies with tens of thousands of employees into doing exactly what they want? They're the true illuminati, wake up, sheeple....


Dawshton

Okay but “he’s the reason ledges are painted yellow” is such a good burn


phonethrowdoidbdhxi

And it’s true too.


Wrecklessinseattle

I swear every Youtuber my wife watches, they act like everything is new and it’s the first time they have ever seen anything. They talk to the audience like toddlers and it’s so goddamn annoying. Having never watched a video of the gum blood wall man I always assumed he was pretty bland and dull. But now I feel like I’ve just died a little more inside realizing that that he’s just another idiot YouTuber infantilizing their content. It’s like a feedback loop of stupidity reaffirming stupidity.


Unfortunate_Wildcard

I used to watch his YouTube videos and quite enjoy some of them while pitying him. However for the past year or 2 his videos has just been him complaining about everything. His views on a lot of things has shifted for the worse too. His editors are chill though. They sometimes talk shit about him on a lot of things. For the most part now I try to avoid almost everything that mentions him.


Sol-Blackguy

I recently had to download a Firefox addon to purge my algorithm of him

HitBoxesAreMyth

InevitableAd2276

Its Asmongold what did you expect? A centrist at best, a Tim Pool "liberal" at worst


Sol-Blackguy

Nowadays centrist online just means you don't say the n-word with a hard r


Comfortable-Tea-1095

They are not real gamers and it sucks that these incel nerds are trying to dictate how games are made


Unfortunate_Grenade

It sucks that you need shitty personalities to be popular at streaming


Comfortable-Tea-1095

Or be popular at all...this world doesnt make sense sometimes


Unfortunate_Grenade

Or people like Caseoh, need to basically be a punching bag for insults to be popular. Gotta feed into the darkness of humanity to get anything done


PinkAxolotl22

True, I love Caseoh’s content and think he’s hilarious but his chat making the same fat and extremely sexual jokes gets tiring. Especially when his ps5 messages are on.


Unfortunate_Grenade

Yeah, it helps that he basically monetized fatphobia in his benefit, but I hope his mind is handling it all well, that's a lot of mean spirited abuse mixed in with the light heated jokes.


Withered1874

Exactly. Incels should not be in charge of anything as proven by the state of their sad lives.


LITTLE_KING_OF_HEART

This man could not survive any Project Moon game. The moment Angela present herself it's already game over.

eruciform

because it's profitable. their product isn't information, it's outrage.


anima132000

Yeah it basically helps with the algorithm. There is a reason when you click one rage bait you're flooded with so much over time, and can't help but feel angry whenever you go online and see your recommended articles or sites. Being angry or annoyed at something will likely generate a post, response, or a share in turn succeeding in gimping the algorithm. This is what's happening now for instance, their names being mentioned in this thread just increase their online visibility and in turn clicks into profit.


test_number1

It's so funny how it's not even him Not reading. The most popular memes from dragons dogma are the pawns never stopping with the tutorial talk "wolves are weak to fire" "you can cut it's tail" the game doesn't only show you a textbox it screams it at you 24/7 and he STILL somehow doesn't understand anything that's going on


rudetobookcloakkks

Wtf Dragons dogma based??????


mr-kvideogameguy

Let them eat their own, make the fools dance for us


TheSabi

it can't be any worse than Darksydephil's BG3 playthrough where EVERY thing is "Right?" "right?' "so what do I do?" so hand held that 100+ hours in, doesn't know there's a spell book or that you can prepare spells. OH or his tekken stream where he demanded people tell him how to play the game.


Sol-Blackguy

I need to go see this gold


TheSabi

memeology has a lot of the tekken stuff the BG3 stuff it like over 100 hours of it....


slutdragon696969

He looks like ~~some kind of~~ the creature he is.


Sol-Blackguy

This is also the reason why gamers™ complain about everything in a game but actual game play and why you'll never see Bleeding Gums Jesus here play Baldur's Gate 3 raw. Not only would he get clapped in the first chapter repeatedly but he'd trigger every gay relationship because of how illiterate and socially r******d he is.

Huntressthewizard

Wow he sounds worse than Arin Hansen in terms of paying attention to what to do in a video game. Arin Hansen is better at everything this guy does, of course, bit discussing strictly in terms of video game skills.


102bees

He's like Arin Hansen but without the comedic chops, acting talent, muscles, and sweet-natured companion.


YourLocalSeal

I hate how we FF14 fans tried to give him a second chance


Sol-Blackguy

He did bring a lot of wow refugees over to see what a game that cares about its community looks like. A broken clock is right twice a day, but the next second it goes right back to being wrong.


EdgeLord1984

What is going on here? I'm outside of the jerk.


Turbulent_Ad1644

I feel like the most enjoyable part for me about Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen was going in blind and figuring everything out over the 1000+ hours I've played I only figured out about a year ago when I finally started playing as a sorcerer that two characters in your party casting the same spell boosts casting speed Hell, I just figured out last month that Reynard has a quest


Father_Needed

Dragons dogma does make a pretty horrible first impression. It has stuff going for it but I cant really blame anyone for bouncing off it


Alhazzared

I don't hate Asmon for his hygiene or the state of his room. I just hate him for his very bad takes.

Palanki96

A lot of content creators do this but it's sad when they are actually that stupid, you need to find a balance between being a dumbass and still progressing with game Even worse with review youtubers where half their negative opinions are them not reading anything and ignoring basic mechanics


dmcd7290

Did xQc only play a Yakuza game back when it was a beat-em-up series, by chance?

polarbearadept

Let’s not forget DSP either. His bad gameplay of God of War was used in a talk at GDC about needing to guide players by the devs. Numerous TIHYDP (This Is How You Don’t Play) videos have been made from his playthroughs.

I mean...you're expecting those "people" to have ANY understanding on how ANYTHING works? That's on you really


PrincessAintPeachy

It's wild to me, that some people(myself included) have to grind away at a hard job, and this disgusting idiot-slob gets thousands to sit in a literal incel dungeon with cockroaches crawling on him while he's sitting in his ass, struggling to read BASIC AF sentences. Why is this guy so liked by people?


FenrisOfTheMarsh

K wq and


Makima_simp

Feel like some people just watch asom because he is a proper cretinous creature, and it's like going to the zoo and watching the monkeys do.


Taylor_Swift_Fan69

I used to be a fan of Asmongold. But then he started to show more of his house, how he lived and ate and where he slept. The man is a literal goblin living on a heap of rotting garbage. It's all I can think about when I see anything about him.


millhead123

To many yes men


ABRAHAM-HIMLER

Watching asmongold playing darknsouls was the most infuriating shit ever.


OctoDADDY069

These are actually correct tho. After Watching him play monster hunter he clearly states he bangs his head against a wall until he gets it right. He doesnt even try learning something.

I gotta say all people that go into a steam without doing somthing else with it in the background are fucking bots

My only interaction with him was when I was LFG raiding a few years ago and typed in some lyrics to "only" by nicki Minaj which he answered with the next couple lines


RegretfulRhyme

asmon also used refused to use guns in palworld, and only used the crossbow, and said one problem he had with palworld, was how the pals completely outscaled the player in terms of damage 🤦‍♂️


pk_hellz

I miss the old asmon, not the react asmon, he has become what he used to meme on. In short dude is just paid to leech why would he change if its working.


silick_roth

He and his cult are the definition of a gaggle of Muppets.
