god damn "If i got banned tomorrow you'd just watch somebody else" , thats a grim ass sense of self awareness...
its reality, almost all streamers understand this.
Its not like we can watch him if he is banned
@@missionpupa i didnt ask for your clarification I already stated it...
@@BoJo3000 you can though... there are other sites he can go to, like the one you're watching him on as you typed that comment...
why is it grim?
A powerful message indeed. A lot of people make fun of asmongold for being old, but I think it’s one of his best attributes, he’s gotten to a stage in life where he truly understand himself and people in general, and can be comfortable in being himself because of it. It makes for some very intersting conversation for an aging gaming population and I love to listen to him.
Oh shit it's you
"old"
wtf old????
The meme man himself being intellectually capable enough to understand this is a glimmer of hope for the earth.
Imagine thinking 30 is old
only watched this today and the way he said, ''my mom's in the other room''... some how that hit me
why? did something happen to her?
@@XGazudin She died in October that year
@@chrisignity1683why are you replying for someone else?
@@TheTuttle99because the OP didn't reply?
@@TheTuttle99 Guy asked question, question gets answered. Big fat deal?
Your vacation doesn't need to be some multi thousand dollar trip abroad. You can take a 1-2 day trip with the boys and go for a camping trip
truth, its about having a good time, a good friend group can make almost anything fun
Yea if thats what your ok with alot of people want more then living cheque to cheque saving up just enougj to go grill hot dogs on the fire with a 24 pak
If you have boys
@@CrooKdLetterJSo, do you just know ZERO things about camping bruh?
@@slushyglue9167 dunno what i said would infer that ya fucking idiot lol
Chat is just filthy mad that they are being asked to take a minute of self-reflection instead of typing LULW in chat.
True LULW
big true
No they’re mad their lives aren’t what they wanted to be and they don’t like thinking that maybe it’s their faults. Its called coping.
@@kylevernon And this passive aggressive tone seems to be part of it.
It's for self-defense, ofc
"you can't just live in a fantasy world and then get mad when it's not the real thing" that shit hit hard.
I painfully resonated with that the most!
basically parasocial relationships in a nutshell
Dissociate a bit u'lov3 it im sure
"you can't just live in a fantasy world and then get mad when it's not the real thing"... except in raiding where it's the norm.
Resurrected!
crazy coming from a dumb kid who lucked into being a millionair, doesnt mean anything at that point. dude has never worked a real job in his life
Great message. Thanks Asmon!
How will you apply his words? When do you plan to quit following streamers?
Nice to see you here
he is 100% correct, youre just coping. @@jonathansoko1085
AYYE ITS THE MAN. I loved your stuff I haven’t listened in a while but you were part of my og rotation. Hope your doing well now man, and that your happy
@@jonathansoko1085 The thing is, we all live a different reality, bro. Yes the world is the same whether you're Christian or not. But people don't view it the same. Why do you think there are happy and sad people? Happy people lived a different life. Maybe sad people saw the darker side of it. But just cuz we get to see the darker side of things doesn't give us the right to tell happy people they are out of touch. Perhaps the people who are sad and can't chill out are the ones out of touch.
"If I got banned tomorrow, you'd just watch somebody else." People don't understand this level of humility.
When I quit my retail job I kept my name tag and still have it by my desk like Asmon. Honestly a great thing to do to help motivate you.
I do the same thing but with a gun instead of a badge!
I almost thought it was zackrawrrr channel 😂
I never played retail, but I gave classic a try and it was good. Wish I had a job in gaming like you do.
I tried to quit my retail job, but when I sucked at the other job all my co workers told me to "GO BACK TO RETAIL".

@@The1stLumiens LMFAO geeez
Yeah, you're actually not wrong here.
Colorized
So true
I've grown to really love asmon. He really does try to help people.
I didn't know who this guy was just yesterday. Already inspiring.
Yeah, he helped them a lot with the charity scam...
@@MasterBlek the what? I barely follow this guy
@@kudosayala4943 Assmancold was part of a charity scam, and he refuses to talk about it.
He has the balls talking about other scammers, but he doesn't want to talk about the scam he was part of at all.
Search for Softgiving.
Also, Assman says that "there is a lawsuit about it", but he didn't said which one, cause there is one started from Softgiving against the guy who exposed them, and there is one against Softgiving for what they did.
Assman and OTK were released from talking in the court like a month and a half ago, so they have nothing to do with the lawsuit anymore, and we don't know why they don't want to talk about it.
My theory is that they are hoping for Softgiving (that took 50% of the charity money) to win the case, so they won't have to talk against it.
Don't trust Assmancold, cause he is a huge liar, and nobody knows his true intentions.
man you chimps really will gag on his diq for anything huh. asmon is retarded pos who spreads just as much hate as he does "love" and his "love" is his self protection when hes caught being the pos he is.
Man the power of speaking truth. Pure honesty. A rare thing believe it or not.
He said "take things into your own hands."
He did not say it'd be easy.
He is correct.
i know right. zach had to fight an entire army solo. its not easy.
In other words... take ownership of your life.
Being lucky is not an accomplishment
@@Hi11Zones it's just so funny how people who get 'lucky' have a ton of qualities that allowed them to get where they were.
@@gleipnirrr my comment still stands cuz it's facts
You touched on it for a second.
What he's really jealous of is the economic freedom.
His wife and his dog aren't taking the majority of his time, his job is.
Maybe. But that's pure speculation or possibly projection on your part. I'd speculate that he feels trapped and confined by life choices he made based on societal norms. He sounds like an atypical person that loathes every day of his typical life. I say this from experience, guilt and self loathing are unhealthy motivations to do anything, especially basic adult activities.
I don't think so. I think it's the lack of responsibility he's jealous of. But he's not taking into account the positive things that come with that. It sounds like he has money but has tied himself to things he now maybe resents.
@@HahaLesbians I think that's only true if he made those choices based solely on conformity. We can't know that. I just think every human being with any self awareness, eventually has regrets. There are always things we could have done differently. Frankly I think our culture is so overconcerned with comparing ourselves to other people, it creates little neurotic behaviors. The "learned helplessness"he mentioned is so powerful. People start believing that they can't do things. Maybe then they conform in the way you were alluding to. Who knows. I do believe that happiness and contentment are separate from a lot of the material things we hold so tightly. Idk. Just my thoughts
If you want to have more freedom you need to possess less material goods. Asmon's point is (I think) that if he (OP) wanted to live off of welfare he could, but you can't afford to fund a home with welfare money- but maybe a dingy apartment or living off of other people's things (e.g couch surfing, living with your parents). Nobody has economic freedom because the more money you have the more stresses you need to balance. Less is more.
If you WANT to have a beautiful big home then yeah, no shit, you have to work harder. But you chose that yourself.

This really hit hard at this point in my life. I've been struggling lately with motivation, self worth, aspiration, etc. Never seen this clip before but it meant a whole whole lot. Thank you for the honesty and insight.
He's right about being a degenerate for a few weeks. When my work closed for covid I loved just playing video games and getting up at stupid o'clock for the first two weeks. Then week 3 hit and I absolutely hated not working and having a routine schedule. It's nice to just break away from the responsibilities of life but only for a short period of time before you can start losing your mind.
I didn’t lose my mind much but for the last year or so I’ve been doing nothing. It was fun, and eventually I crashed but after it all I feel a lot more stable, a lot of stress that I didn’t know was building was gone because I stopped caring about it for that year. A great reset.
But getting back into things I find it impossible to give 100% for even half of a work day. It’s so hard to be productive and not just do whatever you want to do, my self discipline has to be rebuilt from 0
The part where he talks about most people only wanting to live like a degenerate for a few weeks is absolutely true. It's nice to have that kind of time once in awhile, but when you do it for too long, you start to feel depressed and like you've never done anything important with your life.
The difference between him living that life and you living that life, is that you don't get paid 160k a month, or 2 million dollars a year, to sit there and play WoW all day.
@@saitodosan9377 You assume that he has always made this money
@@Hoppitot obviously they are referring to his current situation. The past is just irrelevant here
@@caenir Exactly. Some people really just wanna hold onto that parasocial relationship I guess lol "Asmongold is just like us after all! He doesn't wanna be a degen!"
@@caenir No they're not refering to his current situation. That wouldn't be some kind of confession that would be stating the obvious.
I LOVE how he calls himself a degenerate and immidetely goes on to deliver the best motivational speech I've heard this year🔥🔥🔥
That actually makes any message more acceptable. When you make it clear that you're a humble person before you say something, people won't immediately find a reason to attack it. It's sort of unfortunate actually. Truth is truth regardless of who delivers it and he's right. He is about everybody's definition of a trash human being. I'm glad that he's at least acknowledging it because on some level, we all have deficits that are, at best, better than his by just enough that it still doesn't really matter.
@@reidsimonson How so?😇 Personally, I am well in tune with my purpose, and I have a significant other as well as work I enjoy. I just think it is great that he talks about taking responsibility for getting what you want and not always pointing the finger at everyone and everything else😃👍
@@89qwyg9yqa34t Zack isn’t a trash human being, in fact he makes people happier and his streams have helped cope many with depression and anxiety as his wisdom and humor is a way to forget and entertaining. Which is why many watch him. People tend to fall into an orthodox lifestyle and forget that he’s only doing what makes him happy and there’s nothing wrong with that. You don’t have to live life by what society deems productive. And playing wow isn’t a waste of time. It can be if you make it. But asmon has made playing wow his career. So what matters is doing what you love and know your self worth and don’t care about what others have to say about it. In fact I believe asmongold is a perfect example of how to live an unorthodox lifestyle doing what you love and see success from it.
@@ztoso2409 Could you imagine what his life would be if he hadn't found Internet fame? All he is without that lottery ticket is an uneducated, angry WoW player... but the point is that it doesn't do much to judge. Every single one of us could do way better for ourselves.
@@89qwyg9yqa34t "All he is without that lottery ticket is an uneducated, angry WoW player" I think that's a little bit of a harsh assessment and you make the mistake of amounting him to just that. I don't think just any "uneducated angry WoW player" could find the success Asmongold has; yes you could call his situation a "lottery ticket" but the fact is that he possesses and demonstrates on a regular basis all of the qualities that make him successful in the first place. As many have said before, people don't just watch Asmongold because he plays WoW, they watch him because he's Asmongold.
i love how humble and straight to the point he is
You do provide value. People don't just watch your channel cause of WoW but you give non-filtered advice and it's quite refreshing. A humble hermit. I have an IRL friend that acts, and talks just like you.
ive never even played wow... i just like him.
@@whytry4682same, I have 0 interest in WoW, yet here I am every day on Asmon’s stream 😂
Tell him he should start streaming. :P
Haven't played WoW since OG WotLK myself. I do not watch for ANY of the WoW content, while I do enjoy keeping up with the game as an auxiliary use of the channel. I am here for the personality that is Asmon. I feel like rather he succeeds at it or not, he does his best to be honest and genuine and those are just traits I enjoy watching. I only agree with him like half the time, but we're usually not that far apart lol.
Yup, I literally have 0 clue about WoW lol I'm a runescape kid. But Asmon has an insanely relatable an likeable personality.
This man is speaking straight facts. Never agreed with anything more, 100% spot on.
Man you're the GOAT at RuneScape, you're just everywhere huh? Keep up the good work Rendi 🖤
Nothing even possible to disagree with, just, yes, facts.
I don't have my walmart badge on my desk... but knowing where I am at now. I just have to remind my self of just how upset I was at the world when working at walmart, and that alone motivates me to never want to go back.
The GOAT 🐐
@@MaxiMonkU2B get me to 1mil and I'll do it
I think it's hard for some people to comprehend that Asmon is literally just a dude with a passion for gaming like everyone else. I would also go as far as saying people don't envy the way he lives but rather his financial freedom and his ability to literally play games all day, every day, whilst making serious revenue from it.
There's obviously more to streaming as well, the darker side. I'm sure due to Asmon's large audience, he'll have to deal with more hate and negativity from people then most people ever will. People will consistently call out his insecurities and he will just have to act like it doesn't bother him. Plus few can do what Asmon has done, he's very innovative with Wow and comes up with new ways for people to experience the game. He also has an immaculate personality that has captured the heart of so many people that alot of his viewers don't even play wow, they come for him. Asmon's success as a streamer and his ability to obtain financial freedom to play wow everyday came from more then just being lucky.
The only thing I could envy about him is his financial freedom=sense of security.
Not security as if he can't get robbed, but security in the sense that he doesn't have to worry if he'll be able to eat 10 years from now or not.
@@weskore I think asmon is specially built for that type of abuse given his history with toxic communities in social online games honestly. I know it still affects him a lot in some ways (like when its about the quality of his stream, personal life or friends) but for the most part I'd say that he's better than most at dealing with the stress that comes from that.
@@michaelstronghold3550 Damn that is really, really sad, but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to find who the fuck asked.
@@michaelstronghold3550 Yes he said that is what he envies about asmon, that he wished he had the sort financial security asmon had. That it is unrealistic to expect is the exact reason he envies it.
I have a full time job, married, no kids and play 40+ hours of games a week. All about priorities.
LOL
Facts
Why are you married? Just to bust nuts occasionally and have your dishes washed? Don't see you having anytime for your wife with a full time job and 40+ gaming per week... I barely have time for anything with a full time job, even if gaming was my number 1 priority in life I would probably manage to only get in like 20 hours per week if I sacrificed basic hygiene and exercise.
Those are rookie numbers
Your wife probably hates you 😆
I just found this, it truly resonated with some stuff i go through, i mean it feels good to know that you are not alone trying to navigate this mess, i empathize with you Asmon and i hope you have or will have the happiness you deserve. Even for a nasty degenerate as you say
This man described what I had to accept to get out of my depression. Be happy with your choices, if your not happy then fix it. If it can’t be fixed, then try something else.
No joke, man. Took me years to realize it, and I felt like an idiot when I finally did.
Can it be fixed? Yes? Then why worry about it?
Can it be fixed? No? Then why worry about it?

@@johnroush5731 imagine thinking wearing skimpy clothing on twitch makes you a 'hustler'
Asmon is actually so wise, i refuse to accept he just plays video games all day, he must do research and most importantly, he must think a lot. maybe he thinks while playing video games but he has a lot of great takes and is not afraid to say them directly
The legend is that he read all the internet. And once in a while he finished all the updates.
Streaming & Video editing are actually Hard,
what Harder is to keep your Audience engaged,
have a unique point of view, Wealth of Knowledge and being able to communicate that with Crystal Clear communication.
if you can build Millions of Audience, you're no longer a Normal person,
you're pretty much at a Level of Expert in Communication and Marketing.
it's crazy hard to Gain even a Hundred of Tractions let alone Millions on RUclips
if majority of people are forced to Stream a video of themself,
i'm sure almost 90% of them will be very boring to watch, and had no interesting thing to say.
A rich man who makes money by doing nothing makes excuses.
I couldn't sit and stream day in day out like this guy has for years. Could you?
Man every once in a while Asmon really says some real shit. I don't even play WoW, I follow because of an older video where he stopped to get serious like this.
This should be in his own youtube channel.
This has the same vibes as 'why I live a simple life' video he has.
Anyone else not a WoW player thats watched all 60 hours of transmog vids? lol ..Asmon keeps me coming back with these takes on issues .And sure its easy to talk in "what If " and live in the " what coulda been" mindset . Its another beast when you learn to live in the present while being fully aware that ,"It Is what it is ,and could only ever be what it is despite what you think or was told it was".
@@toxictator4561 same, I've been regularly watching him for about a year now, and watch him play wow for hours and I've never played in my life and have absolutely no idea what's going on.
same bro i only enjoy watching his stream even though i dont play wow
For the newbies: check his ZackRawrr channel for more introspective stuff.
"I live the lifestyle of a fiend and a degenerate... I am an animal."
- Asmongold. Quote for the ages.
I hope this comment isn't sarcastic or something that is made to laugh about or made fun of.
It's so cute he thinks this way over just playing WoW. Asmongold is legit a princess still living with his mommy, not an animal.
@@SihSih420 You are to stupid to understand the "animal" bit. I get it. Let me explain what goes in to ANIMAL more, If Any fucker dropped next to Me dead id not even blink fuck him, Doing anything to get by without putting any effort and so on.
@@lordzed83 Thanks. I am aware how people feel this way and you explained it well. I have appreciation that you do not support the lifestyle of an animal, and I kind of don't support the life style of a princess either when you are a 30 something year old dude it's sad.
@@SihSih420 I got at lest 3 people in this office im typing from they give everything to live like asmon. When i hear phone calls to my boss from doughtier when she says she fucked random dood and going for test off shes pregnant or have STD's. I can understand why hes here more than home he hates to be in hes own home hes 42. If i was him id hang myself like my friend from Manchester did and not a single friend said he made wrong choice. I just know way to many people that are stuck in permanent nightmare of an life they created for themselves. As i see it all humans are domesticated animals when shit hits fan Animal comes out always.
This guy gets it. Take control of what you can control and dont stress over the things you cant help. Find ways to exist with it.
Absolutely 💯
I come back to this video sometimes just to hear his motivation speech at the late part of the video.
This man success is not a coincidence, its not a fluke. It was work he put in, smart work. He's a self made man.
Judge: We rule for the defendant and award him $1,000,000
Lawyer Asmon: YES DOOOOD!
There it is
"There it is, boys"
Judge: We declare the accused guilty, 20 years.
Lawyer Asmon: Sometimes you get it, sometimes you get got.
@@SWBGTOC dooood true maaaaaan
I don't envy Asmongold for not working and living a simple life.
I envy him for talking very clearly and not afraid of what he says, and I envy him for having that courage to stay strong and do what he loves. And I envy that people follow him and subscribe to him for his passion.
Stay great like always, Zack.
Editing and all that bs has to be tiring after a while
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you "normal" people absolutely get bullied in the work place. Pro life tip, it doesn't matter what you have, what you are, what you make, what title you have...you will ALWAYS have somebody that will bully you. We have family dr's who are bullied by specialty dr's like nephrologists. We have nephrologists who are bullied and looked down on by cardiologists....
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you :) you just have to do you and be proud of everything you do! and if ppl bully you 99.9% of the time they're miserable sods and are taking it out on ppl who appear happier then them. :)
So do you boo because your happiness is what matters the most and you will attract like minded individuals what that mindset as well. :)
@@witcherjohn3440 Some people will fight tooth and nail to remain inside of their mindcage - they only want commiseration and validation for their flawed perspectives on themselves and life. So many people never learn that their "friends" are often the ones they allow to hold themselves back. Sometimes moving on and making things better means losing those "friends."
@@cemetaryman3903 I know this is a late reply, but I totally agree with what you stated. I had to personally let some of my friends go, and now four years later I will be graduating from college in a few months. Without making that decision to make a change in my life, which meant distancing myself from a few certain individuals who I considered friends, I do not believe I would be on the verge of achieving a personal goal and improving my way of life!
I don't know if anyone remembers the show Mission Hill, but there was an episode that goes into this topic that I'd recommend watching. The episode is called Unemployment. It's about someone who wants to live a less productive lifestyle that realizes there are a lot of benefits to having a job and a steady income.
I have enjoyed watching your "real talk" videos recently and it makes me realize how much you understand real life.
As a 35 year old guy, that has no direction in life still and has a kid on the way, this shit hit my soul. No teacher has ever done this for me. I really don't even play games as much anymore, I just like watching this guy.
I have a 1 year old and another one the way. I can honestly say that your baby will change you. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but the most rewarding.
33 here, my daughter is 2 and I feel you on a spiritual level. Good luck my friend.
@@avidjp Jobs are so boring, I usually job hop because I get bored so quickly. Also the idea of being employee # blank makes me sick. I wouldn't want to be a streamer, I just admire Asmongolds attitude, "f it, I don't know, but I'll get there someway." Thanks for the good luck, I'll need it.
@@erik3205 The best thing I have heard is "If your jobs suck, apply for ones that look interesting no matter how much you think you're unqualified and lie about experience" I know its scummy but unless you pick a job that needs education like lawyer or doctor you can get away with it. If they hire you, learn it fast and do it well. Specialized jobs are so much more fulfilling than service jobs and usually pay better and have better benefits.
@@erik3205 I'm the same exact way, and no problem sir.
chat is so bitter because asmon was telling the truth that they didn't want to hear.
What a sad bunch.
That's honestly what I think too, I'm in the same position of a lot of people in chat including asmon if he didn't have his stream. He's absolutely right, I've worked retail almost my whole life... I finally recently got out of the cycle because i took a chance at finding a new job. And in retail you really are useless, when I worked at walmart they basically never cared if you showed up for your shift or not because there was 10 other people in line that wanted to work that day because realistically anybody can do those jobs. it's really not hard to understand, it's just a harsh reality check.
@Bantirat Not really, I mean if you just don't pay attention to news cycle and online anonymous or social media posters and focus on either the hobby itself not the social stuff (you can do that irl if you really need it) then you don't really need to experience all of america just your select part of it. You'd only meet a problem in real life once in a blue moon.
Problem is the addiction to hearing from media and people who are strangers in a day and age where everyone is their own broadcast channel.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 Nah, America isn't the worst, but it's a far cry from being the best place to work. And what frustrates most people is that America has all the tools and resources to make it better, it's just being shafted by the people up top. The richest country in the world by GDP yet it can't take care of it's own citizens basically speaks volumes.
@Bantirat Cucked*
@Bantirat it really isn't fucked beyond belief lol.
youre charismatic, funny, honest, helpful, entertaining an much more asmongold. Many things about you let me enjoy life on many days more
Really good incite on the taking time for yourself aspect of life. That’s HUGE. Great message.
The reality is that no matter how much "free time" you have, you're always going to have a certain level of anxiety towards your situation. You think you want to eat junk and play wow all day, but that won't satisfy you either. You will always find some way to rationalize how you could be wasting your time right now, and how you could be better spending it.
I think that's something a lot of people aren't understanding. Asmon does more than just play wow now, he streams to thousands of viewers and fulfills them with content.
That’s it, end of the day it’s an internal mind set which will either allow you to be satisfied or cause you to always be unsatisfied, regardless of what you’re actually doing externally
I think a lot of people think its all about eating crap and playing wow all day, when in reality it is the situation of your life overall that allowed you to do that which is the real envy. You were able to play wow all day because you had no serious obligations or worries. No job, no bills, no serious girlfriend/wife, it was just you and whatever the fuck you wanted to do. So whilst you decided to play wow for the majority of that time, it wasnt just that which made you happy, it was being able to do it that was the real cause. Thats my opinion. I miss those days, still classed as really young and living with my parents with no worries about anything or the future. Then as you get older, time flies and you feel pressured into really "making something of yourself".
@@JohnRock14 Eh, I have more time than I ever had as a kid. The only thing that will seriously eat into your time is if you seek out relationships and start a family.
@@Haruka_May that was kind of my point. Those things tend to go hand in hand as you get older. Unless you specifically dont want kids and want to live a bachelor life.
Asmongold actually does have a skill: he can entertain people, for hours!
I mean I could start a stream right now and be fucking clueless, and I sure as hell won't have 50k+ viewers just like that
Exactly😁 Being entertaining is a true skill. It’s sad to see so much of his chat are haters. I really hope he doesn’t completely believe he is a degenerate, because he’s such an inspiration to a lot of people.
He didnt have 50k+ viewers just like that either. He's been streaming for what... 10 years at this point maybe more maybe less? Develop the skill friend. :P
Exactly. Countless fucking times have i disagreed with asmon on some of his views about the game. Especially the old days. But when somebody makes you laugh so hard and has a genuine sense of humor, you appreciate that fact. They instantly become more likeable to you and thats important, especially following a streaming career. Let alone the fact that he is genuine as fuck and is never afraid to speak his mind or tell things how they are.
@@The86Ripper nah i disagree with everything about Asmongold, I stay for Zack.
He does have a skill, you're exactly right, now to downplay that like its something easily formidable. It takes innate character qualities, but hes wrong to lead you like that's a formulatitve recipe for success
Dude, you're smarter than 95% of people, along with great charisma. That's how you succeeded at streaming ;D
I love it when Asmon says something painfully deep and philosophical and someone goes “your story is invalid because I think it is” lmao
“Everyone is expendable, and if twitch bans me today you’ll just go watch somebody else tomorrow. That’s it.”
Damn. The more you get to know this guy, the less you know about him. So many people experience but don’t understand. This guy is so woke and Asmon if you are watching this, you are wrong about the part where you said you are not special. You are and that’s why people will follow you to wherever you go. Thanks for the life tips, you’re nuts.
Lol felt like my dad was laying down truths on me and im older than Mr. Gold.
I just love how he always tells it the way he sees it and not playing politics with his opinions.
He has humility, which leads to wisdom and understanding.
@@jamescolvin575 thats true
cause he probably thought of himself as a "loser" and having a platform gave him confidence
I don't personally watch Asmondgold's streams or other content, but every once in a while RUclips recommends me one of his videos where he talks about some aspect of real life. And every single time he is spitting straight facts.
3:15 I think they guy in the post didn't mean to literally be like you - it's not about having no ambitions or living like an animal. It's about freedom of just sitting home and chilling near PC or a book and knowing that you don't have to get up anywhere tomorrow, but also that you don't have to starve. You can afford to buy a videogame, to order food and just enjoy life. Freedom, particularly economic freedom, to live in simple comfort without responsibilities, that's what he meant. Ability to do anything in particular day, trying new things, but also just playing videogames until midnight. I know a lot of married guys like him. Family and 8/5 job can really get into you and burn you out.
It's really harsh life zero time when you work full time.
Legit the most powerful and honest answer ever. I wish I could play WoW like I used to, but I love being a dad. I love watching my kids grow, it brings the most meaning to my life. I can do both but my time is most important for my children.
“It's tragic how few people ever 'possess their souls' before they die. 'Nothing is more rare in any man', says Emerson, 'than an act of his own.' It is quite true. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their life is a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” - Oscar Wilde
Not just that, many don't have the opportunity to find their souls, because all they can focus on is survival.
@@Sheriff_K Is it not better that at least some of us get to do it? What's the alternative? We all go back to monke and everyone has to struggle everyday to survive?
I think it's hard to see what is our souls, to be honest. What exactly are we possessing in our most human and individual moments? And what comparisons are we making to our acquaintances, friends and family, and art (which imitates life)? It's hard to know if we're retreading someone else's ground, but for me, the circumstances leading to the choice and the action are what make our decisions our own. People's lives can be so different, even when they intersect a lot people still find differences in each other. Those are the moments when we are the most of ourselves.
Oscar Wilde was proven entirely correct the moment you quoted him.
@@Aggrobiscuit Actually bro Oscar Wilde is quoting someone else so his own statement proves itself
I haven't played wow in over 10 years and still continue to watch Asmon every day. It's not the content, but the way he speaks the truth about himself and way life is. He puts into words what most people only think subconsciously in the most understandable way possible.
Yea his like a Messiah, he tells us the real truth, he never lies and that's what most of the people missing.
You should come back bro for tbc play casually it’ll be worth. After tbc phase u. An quit
@Generic Username "there are no prophets in one's own country". Sometimes one will only listen to common sense stuff if this or that person talks about it. Is it weird? Probably. Yet common sense stuff is still common sense stuff, it's not like Asmon is telling people to invest in bitcoin or trying to rip them off.
@Generic Username YES exactly and do you know what this country is missing the most? COMMON SENSE!!
@Generic Username Thats speaks volumes by itself, when theres so few people in this world with common sense
“Take control”.
Awh man he was talking about his mom in the next room. i didn't notice the date was 2 years ago
You actually have an insanely high level of self awareness/wisdom and you're able to articulate it in a very digestible way which is invaluable if you ask me. Being able to hold people's attention is probably one of the most valuable things in the world.
big true, his understanding of life and consequences are beyond godlike
and he somehow can speak with deeth without being boring, he would destroy being a executive or a lawyer.
i think thats why he has that many followers.

well there is like 40 000 people watching him every day... kinda gives a clue
Haven't you seen him before the raids? This guy might lack the looks, might not be strong, but he can inspire you to do anything.
Lmao when you started speaking and that Skyrim music started going up, fantastic. Exquisite.
A rare wisdom to be found in a streamer. His insight into the world around and himself is commendable.
I do love how comfortable this man is in his own skin. His fucks given are 0. A vacation doesnt always mean you have to go somewhere. You can take 5 days off and stay home.
If it's laborious job I'm for sure sitting my ass at home and relaxing.
Yeah, I noticed with the commenter who talked about only having 10 vacation days. I mean, just use the 10 days then? Vacationing doesn't have to mean living in Italy for 6 months. If you only have 10 days with limited money, then use them doing something you enjoy close to home. Even if that just means playing video games. Or if you're living with a partner, talk with them about setting up days for alone time. Anything to give yourself a break. Life is not some zero sum game where you're either a total degenerate or work 24/7.
His awareness and desire to be a positive impact on people makes him such a good dude

AY YO! I’m an order selector at a food warehouse. I get pretty decent pay (well above minimum wage) and I pick boxes up and put them down. My first year at this job I had a weeks paid vacation, 5 sick days paid and two personal days unpaid, 401k matched, and profit sharing, plus 104 hours I can call off per year without repercussions. BUT after I hit 5 years total seniority, I’ll have 6 weeks paid vacation, 12 paid sick days, 6 personal days and 104 hours for calling off, 401k, profit sharing, Plus I’ll be at top rate. Over 30$ an hour. Also at that point I won’t be moving boxes anymore. I’m just saying, there’s nothing wrong with a job that doesn’t require special skills. As long as you make sure you work for a company who values you. For now, I proudly pick boxes up and put them down. 😅
Every guy from a third world country envie's this guy's life. I mean the guy who wrote the letter.
Guys, when he says to develop a skill, it doesn't have to be something crazy. Just aim to be a good as you can be at whatever you do. If it's worth putting your time into, it's worth doing it well. I'm a waiter. I'm pretty good at it. Now, I work in fine dining. I work three days a week and average about $55 per hour. A Lot of jobs that people look down on can make a lot of money because most people don't want to take those jobs. High rise window washer, trash man, mailman, trades, waiters...
Too many people think that it's doctor, lawyer, engineer or bust.
Good luck out there! Take pride in yourself
Congrats to you, more people need to understand this. The most important aspect is to take a direction and take actions towards a general goal. Baby steps in the dark and you will find your path. I wanted to be a server too, so I pursued that passion until I was a bartender. I grew up quiet and awkward, so being able to be comfortable with complete strangers and make people happy was a great feeling. I enjoyed it a lot and made good money, because I was damn good at it like you. But life is more than just keeping steady, I desired more and knew I could do more. I decided to go back to school and start a career in IT and cybersecurity. Just a year ago I wouldn't have imagined I would be doing what I'm doing now, and it is all because I took actions towards a real goal. Good luck to you and your career, never stop learning new skills!

Some of his takes are good, but some of it is pure bullshit.
7:15 : Yes, the cards are already dealt for 99% of us. Yes we don't get the vacation time even if we asked for it a month prior. No we can't switch our jobs and "get a lower paying one for more salary" because of "industry standards". No we can't take "destiny in our own hands" without the chance of completely ruining our life. And yes, some of us live in third world countries where what you're talking about is a pure pipedream. Other than toppling the government and burning everything to the ground, it's not going to change for us.
@@rahulkher8207 Yeah but your cards aren't dealt, mate i grew up dirt poor both my parent are dead and were junkies, i didn't even have shoes to go to school, i didn't even go to school most of the time, my grandma would knit me clothes to wear, me and my brother and cousin would hunt rabbits and squirrels to eat along with blackberry's and other foraging, we would never have hot water not once in my childhood did we have running hot water we used to boil it on a fire outside in a big steel drum, never had anything i wanted ever, so at the age of about 15 i used to go to this pipe production place and i just went there everyday pretty much and watched the pipe welders there asked them things got to know them all and guess what they let me do it and taught me too at 16 they hired me as a type of intern (it wasn't a internship but the best thing i can compare it too) and after about 2 years they send me to college to get my certs and my qualifications, now i work on board submarines making over $40 a hour pipe welding, all because i took some initiative and didn't accept "the cards i had been dealt". If you look at it like that and just always feel sorry for yourself then you wont get anywhere, if you expect people to hand you things and give you good titles for nothing then your dumb as a dogshit, i got where i am because i forced it and i worked hard to make it happened, didn't just sit around and hope it happened, if i didn't go to that pipe shop everyday and hang around like a bad smell i would be nothing and it would be what i deserved.
@@rahulkher8207 He wasn't really talking about people in third world countries; the entire concept of the argument is kind of detached from that in general.
As for everything else though, it is in your hands and all you just said just feels like denial, you rationalizing your fate. Unable to find a better job because of the industry your in? Go to community college to learn something new, or find a way to learn a new skill - it may take a while but it's possible and once you do that more paths open up to you. Chance of ruining your life? Fuck me bud, everyone has that chance when you're taking a leap - he definitely knows that, since as he was talking about Cody he even clarified that Cody was taking a risk by following his boss into the unknown. Don't think that you're gonna get anywhere without taking a risk when you're already so far into your hand.
8:47 that background music is legendary, the "White River" music from Skyrim.
This guy is prob the realest streamer ive seen. Straightforward no bs but also he accepts the way things are
'Learned helplessness' is a BIG true
He isn't successful for playing wow...
its his personality toward life and matured way of thinking.
wow is just the tool he used.
This, honestly.
I dont care a bit about WoW, but since I play MMORPGs RUclips recommends Asmongold to me and I've watched some of his videos. He's pretty much the opposite of what I usually watch but he has very interesting perspectives and he's pretty damn smart and perceptive so the videos are fun to watch even when I dont care about the content.
Yeah I dont play wow at all but watch Asmon all the time.
That's why this channel is so successful. I mean come on, it's literally called Asmongold TV. The videos that are uploaded to this channel are watched by hundreds of thousands and practically none of them have WoW as the focus (except perhaps the transmog events). Asmon is a personality that gamers like us can relate to.
TBH he reminds me of a boxer, started as a loud mouth to get his audience and once his got that audience his showed his true self
100% started as a controversial idiot to get that kick start in the industry
When i was 17, we dint have internet and were poor. Now i have internet but still im poor, dont even friends
This is a great message and I'm glad he said everything he did.
"The only time you look in your neighbor's bowl is to make sure that they have enough. You don't look in your neighbor's bowl to see if you have as much as them"
He might describe himself as an degenerate but he actually gives good advice. At the end of the day Asmongold is just a persona and Zack is the real human behind it.
Ten čo zajebal ?
I've always thought this. I like Zack alot. Not so much Asmon lol.
“the brightest light always comes from the darkest of places”
That learned helplessness got me man. I see so many people give up on bettering themselves before even trying. Everyone want to think they are the only people alive with obstacles to success. Asmon is a smart dude.
It's SO easy to blame circumstances, and other people, and the system, and everything else than it is to look inward and think "Hey maybe if I put in more effort, or maybe if I did things differently, THEN things would be better." and instead they jsut do nothing, and take their lumps, as though what they have now is all there is. You know how many people I've met who say "Man I'd love to do but there's just no opportunities open" but then they never even really look. Learned helplessness is too right, it's sad man.
I've lost friends who were like this. I just couldn't deal with the constant self pity and their complete unwillingness to even try to make a change. Sure I was probably a shitty friend but there is only so much you can do for someone else, change has to come from within
been caught n a rut for idk how long. The part of this vid where u said take control really spoke to me. Thank you
Zack you are valued not only for you experience with wow but also because you have good critical thinking skills which a lot of people do not have and you have your way with words. You have certain charisma to you and you have a very mature takes on certain aspects of the our society.
This video actually helped me 'take control of my own life'. I was fed up with my retail furniture job, I effin' hate furniture but I knew a lot about it and how to sell it. My passion is computers and more specifically IT sort of stuff, fixing computers, running networks, etc. I'm now training for my CompTIA certification and changing my profession. Leaving retail and looking for help desk IT position. Thanks asmon

So I live in probably one of the most beautiful areas in Canada, on the east coast by the ocean. Close to the Cabot Trail. And the drop in pay didn't hurt too much, because I no longer have to put mileage on the car every day to commute, or invest in work attire or buy lunches. It was a choice I made, to have a better quality of life instead of chasing more money on the hamster wheel.
This is a man with regrets, and I respect him being forward about it with us.

If you have finances and a goal do it. If you just feel the need for a degree go trade school route
Or go community colleges. Universities are literally a gamble right now.
@@Flufferz626 I am going for Computer Science and I've considered going to boot camps but they seem like a scam, or taking those cheap IT classes so at least start working in my field.

I really should put in more time learning the process just not understanding that aspect makes me anxious and shameful as hell.

I mean there are plenty of degenerates that want to live like asmon. I myself lived like him for like 5 years playing wow on a private server. Im just lucky im financialy secure cause i was borned privlaged. If i wasnt i would be more depressed. Im not socialy akward im not dis satisfied with the way i look. My gf broke up with me cause i only play wow and i was relieved. Im 28 years old and used to have alot of irl friends but i cba to maintain them. I get that degen pll envy asmon but i agree normal human beings made choises cause it made them happy at the time like getting a family etc. My worst nightmare would be to fall in love briefly then have a kid be happy for a while. Then wanting to go back to my old ways. The guilt/sense of responsibility would fk me up hard and i would continiue hateing my life until the kid moved out. I can imagine this is the same for most degenerates that ended up with a family. They just keep on being misserable and guilty about it.

@Chris Dean Its also usually dumb people who don't understand how intelligent/wise another person is and how impressive their skills are. No one is saying he's a god, people are saying that he's easy to relate to, very in tune with himself, and good at putting his thoughts into clear speech. He also knows how to entertain an audience. All of these are talents/skills/traits that are pretty hard to come by, and he deserves respect for it.
@Chris Dean Where he is doesn't make a difference moron. If someone doesn't know how to communicate and entertain, their stream is going to be boring as fuck. He's also actually capable of meaningful self reflection and metacognition, unlike you, apparently. You have no idea how your own thought processes work, nor do you have a grasp of your own ability to communicate. Thus, you can't recognize talent when you see it. You're literally resorting to stereotypes and societal biases to substantiate your views, never once stopping to consider that they're prejudiced and flawed. Shows how capable of critical thinking you are.
And also, I guarantee you that his viewership doesn't exclusively comprise of NEETs, considering he's averaging over 150k viewers per stream now. He's an entertaining streamer, whether you accept it or not.
I am a 39-year-old woman with a spouse, a stepson, and a decent job. I will always make time for video games, and other hobbies I love. I chose a spouse that values personal time as much as I do, and have taught my stepson the value of personal time as well. We choose to make time for ourselves. It doesn't lessen our responsibilities in life, it just shifts them around. And it's all (usually) manageable if you make it so.
Agreed, i'm 29 years old and married and have a daughter. My wife and i make time to play video games together. Like you said, just adjust yourself and be able to shift things around to benefit you and the family. In fact we play video games almost everyday lol.
I agree, I think the person who posted that statement that asmond read, maybe was so pressured by society or his family to get that amazing job that pays a lot or whatever the case may be that in turn limits his time to enjoy his hobbies. Where as others will have a smaller house, buy less expensive stuff, just to have a different job that will allow them to take that time to indulge in what truly makes them happy and their life worth while.
I know this is nine months late, but how do you make time for yourself? I have things I want to do, but I simply don’t have the time. It sucks.
@@duaneashley8194 I don't over-extend myself, nor do I attend social things that I simply don't want to attend (ex. The cousin's kids' birthday party, the 47th wedding this year, etc). I work 8-10 hours, sleep 6, and that leaves a whole 8 hours a day for the rest. So even if half of those 8 hours are taken up by cooking dinner, cleaning, family stuff, etc, that's a whole 4 hours I can dedicate to my hobbies. And I make sure to make fun and hobbies a priority just below all that other stuff I listed.
My recommendation: see if you can start dedicating one hour a day to "hobby time", and make it a part of your daily routine. If you make your hobbies a priority, you'll be amazed at how much shit gets cut out of your life that you don't really want or need to do, but just do to make others (non-immediate family, etc) happy :)
I hope this helps, and I hope you start finding time for yourself to do what you love!
This is how an average person thinks, not a wealthy one. So it really doesnt fit at all.
"I have a wife and a family and a fulltime job, and I envy this other person's life."
Perhaps, but remember that there are also tons and tons of people who envy YOUR life. You're also living a life that lots of people are envious of.
This was very helpful I live like Asmon have lived like that for ten years but now I’m 26 and I’m working to start my life and find a job thanks Asmon this helps a lot
“Learned helplessness” was one of the most powerful terms I’ve ever heard. Damn that one hit hard.
This hits true for me. I'm in my 30s with a wife, child, cat, and a mortgage. And I feel incredibly blessed and grateful for the life I have. There are times that I do miss living the life of a 17 year-old, playing games, seeing friends, and partying, and part of me occasionally wishes I could go back to it but NEVER permanently. Just for a breather to feel like the old me (meaning the young me). So, I booked a couple of days holiday from work just for me and that gave me the respite I needed but also gave me some perspective of how good I actually have it now.
Take care of yourselves. Be grateful for what you have. And give yourself permission to be the good kind of selfish once in a while.
Exactly. I think one of the chatters missed Asmon's point. He wasn't saying that you need to vacation to some exotic locale for 6 months or something. That chatter with the 10 days vacation comment wasn't understanding that they can use those 10 days to give themselves a breather from the stress of life. Even if it just means playing video games at home. Or talk with their partner about setting up a occasional days for free time.
Life isn't some binary where you're either a total degenerate or a total work horse.
too good to be true. your wife prob cheating on you
@Natusian thank you I agree :) take my like 👍
Aye, another adult here who is in your exact situation, just with a few more kids and no pets. I do not really miss my youth per se, but I do wish I had time to sometimes really immerse myself to a game. Those opportunities are rare these days.
I have a 37 year old overweight friend who does live on welfare and never left his teens. He just sits in his apartment, alone, playing games and watching anime. We sometimes play games if I am in a mood for a co-op game in the evening and kids stay asleep. He is an excellent reminder for me of how good my life is despite all my obligations.
I have a very similar life to yours and truth is it SUCKS and everything else, including the nice-sounding thoughts Asmon was sharing, is cope. Asmon lives the good life and we don't. Some win, some lose, we've lost.
Didn’t expect this to hit this hard
The OP wants to be able to play games, live his life and ultimately be able to make his own decisions, which he cannot due to the realities of life. We all have to work because it is the status quo and what needs to be done to keep society functioning. Asmon's life isn't rainbows and sunshine, but it surely is better than waking up at 6 AM everyday, spending 45 minutes in traffic commuting to work, and ultimately having zero autonomy over your own career and choices.
I love Asmon and appreciate his perspective always, but I think he's off the mark on this one.
Exactly. OP is more so talking about wanting that finincial support to do what asmon does in my opinion, which is why people are jealous of it. Yea sure it’s “work” having to stream but making that much money doing what we do for free already? Anybody would take it
When people say "I don't have time to play games" but they spend at least 4 hours a day staring at their smartphones and social media, laying in bed watching shitty TV shows.
I do that stuff but I have a gf and say the same thing. It's really is "I don't have time to commit my focus to a game for as long as WoW needs"
Wives always misinterpret "watching my fav brainwashing tube programs" as "spending time as a couple."
Don't get me a wrong, I'm the sort of guy that would prefer to have a date where we just hang out at home and watch a movie, spoil ourselves with food and privacy, and just be us, but just doing an activity that only one of you as actually invested in, or that is unhealthy for you mentally, is not "time together."
The guy probably has the time to play WOW for about 2 hours a night in reality, but the wife co-opts that time and makes him do stuff that only she actually likes, and he's afraid to admit this to her because, you know, he has to live with her.
@@zachmartin3347 I can understand feeling that way, but have you considered just playing WOW as a filthy casual?
yea you always have time for something , no one works 24/7 no one has to do something 24/7 there is time, its all about how you manage ur time and choice what to do with ur time
So we should play shitty games like WoW instead?
I honestly can't believe how many times I clicked on one of these videos for fun and ended up engaged and somewhat inspired by his messages. This man has gained wisdom by sitting and streaming daily WoW grinds.
Yes, when you think about it its only natural. He streams for over 100k people almost everyday, from that amount you should learn quite a lot of things. Not to mention he meets a lot of people in-game with life experiences and knowledge.
He's well spoken as well. Look at how he narrates the post and filling the gaps of OP and making the message clearer, without stumbling.
Those who isolate themselves from society get a sort of outside looking in view on things.
When he is talking about people taking control of their lives. He is right. I have a friend and a brother who seems to have an issue with saying no when they are called in to work. Like i always tell them you have the power to say no. USE IT.
This speech, about jobs from Asmongold, is what make people start to unite against rich people. It is so disconnected from the reality.
No, we cannot simply decide to find "a better job" or a job that gives "more vacation.". Because our salaries are shit, amd if we quit our job, we are no longer in a security state, which could greatly jeopardize our life.
We have a hard time paying for the food, the rent, the activities.
Asmond was able to be minimalistic because he lived in an household were his parents could support this minimalistic way of life. I had not that luxury. I was raised in an household were I was beaten and we were counting money, and where viodegames were considered a waste of time.
I had to fight to survive. Something that Asmongold will really truly never understand as someone who always had what he needed.
Some of chat needed this tbh but alot of those people are too dense to understand what he is trying to say.
It's self-defense mechanism. They only hear what they want to hear, not what they need to hear.

Asmon you are not a degenerate! You Sir are a great influencer to thousands of viewers and that’s powerful. From my standpoint you are a driving force for Good in this dark world we live in. You make a lot of people happy and you give them hope my friend. That is why so many subscribe to your channel that is why so many people watch your channel. You are a light source that attracts people who carry the same light as you and together you are strong. I raise my goblet to you Asmon. FOR THE LIGHT!
Most logical and self aware person I've ever seen. This guy is amazing.
If you could be a millionaire with a legion of adoring fans just playing games it's massively different than being minimum wage wow player
@@joejo4549 chose to skip the whole video?
People said he's useless if he's not talking about wow, but his skill isnt to talk about wow, his skill is to entertain, an entertainer. He can entertain better than others, thats why people come to see him and why he is successful.
Yeah it’s funny that someone said that as if they are some mightier person watching a dude sit and play a game. We are all in the same boat but at the same time who gives a fuck? Everyone lives their own life and the world will always be spinning no matter what we all do. Might as well find something you are good at then find a way to monetize it like Asmongold has.
well usually people that are good doing youtube or twitch are because they are great entertainers, or teachers, or because of their skills. When people say streaming is not a job, i say yes it is, it's entertainment, they are entertainers
I would wager that the ones throwing shade also feel like they have no real control over their life, they see the effort or sacrifice it takes to elevate themselves beyond where they are and its paralyzing so they run behind any and every excuse. Its so easy to write off ones efforts and experiences when looking from a safe difference but it takes real courage to look in the mirror and realize that maybe there are some choices that could be made that day, that week, that year to improve whatever it is they're truly lacking.
i haven't played WoW in almost 10yrs, yet i watch his youtube clips.
He could be talking about Dr.Pepper or PoE n i'd watch that.
Not even entertain. He has a lot of wisdom. We all know him for looking like a moron but he can think. Or is just fed the lines from think tanks we will never know. Also He has an ability to talk about life without this shity narrative in media. He just talks like a guy who you know from school, work. He is like a friend. I know that we dont really have a personal realtion with him but he doesnt act like he is better than us. Maybe his chat isnt that intimate like with small streamers. But he still feels like guy you may know and can trust. I can take his advice and make myself a bit better beacuse i dont feel like reading those articles made by ppl who "were successfull" but in reality got "small loan of milion dolars" to start out. He is talking from place of understaning what it means to be on the low end of socciety.
that is a man who know his value and how the world works , take note guys
Yup yup on the job. I worked at a fortune 500 job 8 years ago and had 10 days of PTO after 3 years. I left that job for a smaller factory and had those 10 days/80 hours at the start. And now I have 5 weeks and been here 6 years. Now those self vacations happen where I go solo without the wife or kids. It's amazing every year
