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!
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.
I’m fairly new to your channel, but was immediately drawn to your honesty and humbleness. Super happy for you, definitely one of the most deserving content creators out there. Wishing you more progress and happiness this year!
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! 😀
dude i recently started making content as well and its so refreshing how nice and encouraging people have been for me also wishing you well on your journey!!!
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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! 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. :)
This video shows how grateful and overwhelmed by all the things that happened in the last 8 months. I was watching every video you make when Diablo 4 came out before season 1. I still watch you videos when you’re just talking because they are simple real straight to the point and honest. You deserve it!🎉
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.
You pretty much summed up my problem with a lot of channels when you say "the first words out of my mouth should be 'Tip #1.' " I respect that, and apparently so do many others. You don't waste my time with 45 seconds of intro. Every second I own is valuable to me. I want each of them to be spent on something I like, want, or need. You deserve what you have bro, good job and good luck.
I don't come here often, I must admit. But this kind videos when you just talk about your life and how it changes for the better are my favorite. Fills me with joy that you found success. :)
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 following the videos since Immortal days even though I don't even play the game. The videos just show honest and genuine views on things and would say that was a breath of fresh air for me. It was nice to see you go from D4 bad to PoE and into LE after getting the exposure from Asmongold. The community wishes you continued success and many years to come.
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.
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!
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.
The tips and tricks point you made where you want your first words to be tip #1 actually is kind of amazing. I make guided and stuff but I always have a bit of a intro and what not but I really like this idea of cutting to the chase. I need to think how to apply this to my content.
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.
290k mann look at chu! Proud of ya bud. Started watching you during Immortal a while back. I remember you talking about the struggle, and how its been hard and you made a choice between bills/food and buying gems for views. You are doing good cause of that faith and being authentic.Good job
It's incredible to watch not only your channel progress, but you as an individual progress as well. You seem like an awesome dude and I'm sure we would be friends if we knew each other IRL. Keep doing what you love, you're obviously great at it!
I’m really glad to see you happy. The first video I saw of you was a hard watch. You were incredibly upset and down but you were open and honest about it. You deserve it all. Save some. Peace and love mate.
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.
I used to watch your videos on SWGoH yeaaars ago. I rediscovered you when Diablo 4 came out. Man, it's been great to see your growth. You're humble and caring and you deserve everything that has happened! Keep going strong.
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.
I didn’t always much care for your too-optimistic view on D4 while I watched what I expected unfold, but listening to you here makes me extremely happy for you. I hope to be sharing a similar story one day. Whether that’s with my guitar, or just gaming, or something else that I actually enjoy being involved in. You struck home with that angry billing job. I deal with App Store purchases and billing. Those people are so entitled and it’s like their purpose in life is to get under your skin and be ridiculous. Keep on keeping on on. Thanks for sharing.
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 glad to a part of your community. Its always great to see someone make it, I'm just sick of all the negative on internet. You're always critical, never negative (or atleast no meanly negative)
Hey man started following you when Diablo came out. Proud to see you doing well. Stay true to yourself. Stay humble. You deserve these things for the work you’ve put it
DM, I've been watching you for years now. It's been up and down. Sometimes I don't agree with how quick (or harshly) you are to judge something, and other times I'm surprised at how quickly you are to see through some bullsh!t. But I have to say, seeing success come to someone who is clearly passionate about what they do is something we should all be happy for. Many years ago I went through a horrible divorce and was also laid off from my job the same year, the early 2000's crash. I had to build everything back up. It's amazing how it changes your view on the simplest things. Fast forward, I'm engaged, theres kids, I have a stable job. There is a lot to be happy with. In short, I know the feeling and the sense of pride you must feel. The gaming community can be toxic. I'm glad we're able to come together to celebrate with everyone! This is part of the community that non-gamers don't see or understand.
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! 😛
I actually discovered you when you made the video when you said you were not ok. A lot of what you said in that video resonated with me, and I think echoed how many men feel these days. It's honestly great to see you in a better spot. I hope it continues to get better.
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.
Casey I've been so happy to watch your life improve so drastically and your success grow over the past few years. You deserve every step up you've made.
@@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.
We are very happy for you brother, I started watching your channel for Diablo 4 tips when your channel had like 2k subscribers, now you got 288k subscribers, what an amazing journey, it has been wholesome to be a part of it, I wish you nothing but the best.
You deserve it. This is a direct result of your quality work and down to earth approach and hope in this aspect you don't change. Just like many others that watch and apreciate your content, I thank you for your videos and wish you nothing but the best on your journey. Cheers!
As someone who still lives a similar life to what you described with no end in sight, I respect you for making a change. You said you weren't really sure how that spike occurred in your viewership. I think people gravitate to you and your content because you seem extremely appreciative of the support you receive. It gives off a relatable vibe. Congrats on the new house and the success you have achieved! Thanks for your vids. They help my day in the cube go by quicker.
It will happen for you. Keep pursuing your passions in your spare time, turn it into a living, and cut the job once you can replace your income and have an emergency fund built up. We've got this! ❤
man is it refreshing to see someone genuinely happy and not flaunting or gloating about their success! Modest, Humble. A lot of RUclipsrs could learn alot from you man and the platform would be much better with more people like this! Grats bro! I hope 24 and 25 are even better for you!
Congratulations on your growing success! I actually found you because of Diablo IV, and I was a total noob! I'm happy you are able to live your dream. I'm glad for the little bit of support I've been able to give you. Good luck for a more prosperous future!
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!
Bro, i first watched your video when Malek hit SW GOH. Daaamn, i remember you were struggling financially and emotionally, and look at you now! Almost 300k subs! I am so freaking glad you made it! You seemed chill dude then and you are chill dude now :) Stay strong bro! live the dream!
I don’t really watch ur content that much since it’s nothing really interesting to me but I feel your pain and frustration with the regular job and I’m really happy for you that you took the opportunity to change your life around and made it better!
happy for you brother, I've been following you since Mr.Hargrave covered you. been times I havent played the same games as you, but always wished the best and supported you were I can. really proud of you my man.
Hey DM - Followed hard during the Raid era and lost track of you when I decided to quit. I just came across your video of Helldivers yesterday and was good to see a familiar face. Glad to see you are doing so well now keep up the great content
We need a picture of the old setup somewhere in the background just so we can remember where it all started :D Truly, it warms my heart to see this! Grats on the level up brother!
Its amazing how many people take space for granted...like just space to work or live comfortably. It takes a simple humble video like this to show how amazing a better living space can affect your life.
I have watched you since Beta Testing on Diablo 4, and have enjoyed your content. Glad to see you doing what you love. Continue the great work and keep doing you that is why we all like you.
Sincere congratulations from Austria, I only watch your RUclips videos & I am happy to see such a good, caring OG RUclipsr getting the payoff they deserve. Thank you and keep up the good work!
I'd never played Diablo - but when I found you channel it seemed legitimate. Like a friend was talking to me about the game I knew nothing about. Happy for you, you deserve it! Glad this is working for you.
I’m happy for you man. I’m 40 and remember the exact moment you are having now. Today I played PoE, picked my 6 year old from school, went out to eat, and he picked out some Pokemon cards at a new store. Life is great man, and your content is part of mine.
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!!! 😁
i enjoy your content because you're just a humble chill guy who i feel like i would want to play with and you are always right to the point you don't take 45 minutes to explain something simple. keep it up
Mannnn. Your humility, transparency, positivity, and genuine appreciation... I think it's a lot of why you have succeeded and retained your following (alongside your great content). But even more than that, I think it's testament to the fact that you truly deserved to catch this break and find this success. Don't know how anyone could find it anything but heartwarming. Happy for you. Keep it up, bro!
You’re just a kind, relaxed, gracious, gentle guy who everyone would want for a friend. You’ve always been this guy; the greater world was just enlightened to it. Congratulations on your hard and well-earned success.
I don't get as much time these days to actively watch you or games in general, but I thoroughly enjoy checking in every so often. You're still easily one of the sincerest, most genuine, and just generally nice content creators I've come across. Please keep it up, and so happy to see things working out for you!
love yall thanks for the journey

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

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
Guy happy about being able to walk around in a room 😂 this is the most wholesome shit man. Happy for you! 🎉
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.

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. 🤘✌️

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.
Not a regular viewer, but I pop by every now and then, awesome to see you getting what you deserve. Best of luck!
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 haven't played D4 in months but still watch your videos. You're great! Stoked for you.
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.
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.
The tips and tricks point you made where you want your first words to be tip #1 actually is kind of amazing.
I make guided and stuff but I always have a bit of a intro and what not but I really like this idea of cutting to the chase. I need to think how to apply this to my content.
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.
290k mann look at chu! Proud of ya bud. Started watching you during Immortal a while back. I remember you talking about the struggle, and how its been hard and you made a choice between bills/food and buying gems for views. You are doing good cause of that faith and being authentic.Good job
We luv you, DM. You deserve all good things!!! CONGRATS!!!!!! #BigUpAlaska
It's incredible to watch not only your channel progress, but you as an individual progress as well. You seem like an awesome dude and I'm sure we would be friends if we knew each other IRL. Keep doing what you love, you're obviously great at it!
Let's get him to a million.
I’m really glad to see you happy. The first video I saw of you was a hard watch. You were incredibly upset and down but you were open and honest about it. You deserve it all. Save some. Peace and love mate.
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.
I used to watch your videos on SWGoH yeaaars ago. I rediscovered you when Diablo 4 came out. Man, it's been great to see your growth. You're humble and caring and you deserve everything that has happened!
Keep going strong.
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.
Dude, you are a good dude. Super happy to see how you've grown, I'm here for it all! I appreciate your transparency.
I'm so happy for you bro. You've come so far! I don't use twitch but I will keep lurking on your channel here !
So wholesome 🥹 so happy and proud for you, you deserve the success and more!
Congrats man...I hope your channel continues to grow. I'll be here for it
I didn’t always much care for your too-optimistic view on D4 while I watched what I expected unfold, but listening to you here makes me extremely happy for you. I hope to be sharing a similar story one day. Whether that’s with my guitar, or just gaming, or something else that I actually enjoy being involved in. You struck home with that angry billing job. I deal with App Store purchases and billing. Those people are so entitled and it’s like their purpose in life is to get under your skin and be ridiculous. Keep on keeping on on. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Haven't been here since I stopped playing games to continue my research. Glad you've done well, always appreciated the honest content.
Never stop being exactly you man. So refreshing ❤
I'm glad to a part of your community. Its always great to see someone make it, I'm just sick of all the negative on internet. You're always critical, never negative (or atleast no meanly negative)
This really did inspire me. Been creating content for about 4 months now and am seeing a bit of growth. Thank you for this.
Hey man started following you when Diablo came out. Proud to see you doing well. Stay true to yourself. Stay humble. You deserve these things for the work you’ve put it
Congrats brother! Great to see you doing well
DM, I've been watching you for years now. It's been up and down. Sometimes I don't agree with how quick (or harshly) you are to judge something, and other times I'm surprised at how quickly you are to see through some bullsh!t. But I have to say, seeing success come to someone who is clearly passionate about what they do is something we should all be happy for.
Many years ago I went through a horrible divorce and was also laid off from my job the same year, the early 2000's crash. I had to build everything back up. It's amazing how it changes your view on the simplest things. Fast forward, I'm engaged, theres kids, I have a stable job. There is a lot to be happy with. In short, I know the feeling and the sense of pride you must feel. The gaming community can be toxic. I'm glad we're able to come together to celebrate with everyone! This is part of the community that non-gamers don't see or understand.
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! 😛
I actually discovered you when you made the video when you said you were not ok. A lot of what you said in that video resonated with me, and I think echoed how many men feel these days. It's honestly great to see you in a better spot. I hope it continues to get better.
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.
Casey I've been so happy to watch your life improve so drastically and your success grow over the past few years. You deserve every step up you've made.
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 from Australia Darth, good on you for your success.
so happy for you bro. You stuck with it and now you're in a much better situation doing what you love!
Congratulations
We are very happy for you brother, I started watching your channel for Diablo 4 tips when your channel had like 2k subscribers, now you got 288k subscribers, what an amazing journey, it has been wholesome to be a part of it, I wish you nothing but the best.
You deserve it.
This is a direct result of your quality work and down to earth approach and hope in this aspect you don't change.
Just like many others that watch and apreciate your content, I thank you for your videos and wish you nothing but the best on your journey.
Cheers!
Im here since Raid Shadow Legends early days. Seeing you growing up high finally is nice, Im happy for you choom !
As someone who still lives a similar life to what you described with no end in sight, I respect you for making a change. You said you weren't really sure how that spike occurred in your viewership. I think people gravitate to you and your content because you seem extremely appreciative of the support you receive. It gives off a relatable vibe. Congrats on the new house and the success you have achieved! Thanks for your vids. They help my day in the cube go by quicker.
It will happen for you. Keep pursuing your passions in your spare time, turn it into a living, and cut the job once you can replace your income and have an emergency fund built up. We've got this! ❤
man is it refreshing to see someone genuinely happy and not flaunting or gloating about their success! Modest, Humble. A lot of RUclipsrs could learn alot from you man and the platform would be much better with more people like this! Grats bro! I hope 24 and 25 are even better for you!
Congratulations on your growing success! I actually found you because of Diablo IV, and I was a total noob! I'm happy you are able to live your dream. I'm glad for the little bit of support I've been able to give you. Good luck for a more prosperous future!
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!
Happy for you DM! Well deserved.
Im a viewer from Sweden, your reach is global
Bro, i first watched your video when Malek hit SW GOH. Daaamn, i remember you were struggling financially and emotionally, and look at you now! Almost 300k subs! I am so freaking glad you made it! You seemed chill dude then and you are chill dude now :)
Stay strong bro! live the dream!
I'm super happy for you bro. I had that pulverize build bookmarked for quite some time :)
I don’t really watch ur content that much since it’s nothing really interesting to me but I feel your pain and frustration with the regular job and I’m really happy for you that you took the opportunity to change your life around and made it better!
happy for you brother, I've been following you since Mr.Hargrave covered you. been times I havent played the same games as you, but always wished the best and supported you were I can. really proud of you my man.
Hey DM - Followed hard during the Raid era and lost track of you when I decided to quit. I just came across your video of Helldivers yesterday and was good to see a familiar face. Glad to see you are doing so well now keep up the great content
We need a picture of the old setup somewhere in the background just so we can remember where it all started :D
Truly, it warms my heart to see this! Grats on the level up brother!
Its amazing how many people take space for granted...like just space to work or live comfortably. It takes a simple humble video like this to show how amazing a better living space can affect your life.
I don’t play any of the games you play anymore and I’ve still been following and watching. Really happy for you bro, keep grinding and enjoying life!!
Watching this almost made me tear up a bit. I'm so happy for you, man!
Good for you D. I am always impressed with your humility and honesty. Wish you every continued success.
I have watched you since Beta Testing on Diablo 4, and have enjoyed your content. Glad to see you doing what you love. Continue the great work and keep doing you that is why we all like you.
Love to see you taking full advantage of your “shot”. Keep going! We’re all rooting for your success.
So glad you're doing well DM - keep on doing you and your following will be here. All the best!
So happy for u brother. I follow u since Diablo immortal. Never played d4 still watch ur videos!
Sincere congratulations from Austria, I only watch your RUclips videos & I am happy to see such a good, caring OG RUclipsr getting the payoff they deserve.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Dude I am absolutely here for your content, you keep it coming as you can and I'll be here to watch it :D
I'd never played Diablo - but when I found you channel it seemed legitimate. Like a friend was talking to me about the game I knew nothing about. Happy for you, you deserve it! Glad this is working for you.
I’m happy for you man. I’m 40 and remember the exact moment you are having now. Today I played PoE, picked my 6 year old from school, went out to eat, and he picked out some Pokemon cards at a new store. Life is great man, and your content is part of mine.
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!!! 😁
So very wholesome! Congrats the new place. When I moved out of a one bedroom apartment into my house, was so freeing. Stay the way your are!
i enjoy your content because you're just a humble chill guy who i feel like i would want to play with and you are always right to the point you don't take 45 minutes to explain something simple. keep it up
Mannnn. Your humility, transparency, positivity, and genuine appreciation... I think it's a lot of why you have succeeded and retained your following (alongside your great content). But even more than that, I think it's testament to the fact that you truly deserved to catch this break and find this success. Don't know how anyone could find it anything but heartwarming. Happy for you. Keep it up, bro!
You’re just a kind, relaxed, gracious, gentle guy who everyone would want for a friend. You’ve always been this guy; the greater world was just enlightened to it. Congratulations on your hard and well-earned success.
I don't get as much time these days to actively watch you or games in general, but I thoroughly enjoy checking in every so often. You're still easily one of the sincerest, most genuine, and just generally nice content creators I've come across. Please keep it up, and so happy to see things working out for you!
