Hi, Dave! I understand if you don’t remember me from the stream but my user is Bronoui. I just re-subbed yesterday and had let you know about how you got me through some dark times. I genuinely meant that ❤️ my apartment had just been sold and my lease was cut off unexpectedly. I moved in with boyfriend where we found out we were pregnant. We had to move back to my home state due to housing issues where I lived. And needless to say, it was rough lol. But I had just discovered you at that time. And I watched you whenever my anxiety kept me up all night. Whenever I was having a rough day. I even watched you right when I came home after losing the baby. I needed to take my mind off the hurt and you were there to cheer me up ❤️ You totally do more for the community than you think you do. And I know tons of other people agree ❤️ keep up the great work Dave. You’re a genuine soul.
I‘ve been watching you ever since you played Mario Odyssey. I loved that and I love you playing SMM. And I really like you and your cheerfulness. You‘re one of my favorite RUclipsrs. Probably my favorite right now. Thanks for what you do! Much love!
That ending heartfelt talk was an interesting item, I have been watching you on youtube for 3 years now but only started subbing in twitch via my free primes for 9 months now. Your an awesome guy with a good attitude the main reason I chose you over other people I watch on youtube to sub.
I followed you June 2019, I don't remember which "SMM 1 event" was happening but was a run between streamers, I only knew/used to watch Ryukhar, but I think one main channel was showing on screen all participants and there it was, DGR Dave struggling in the run but what captivated me about you was your personality and good "vibe", not saying you are a bad player but I do think your personality speaks louder than your mario's skills. Thank you for this almost 3 years of entertainment!
i always find it so funny that a majority of the doubters, and maybe even some of the believers, accuse dave of cheating when he pulls up the level viewer to get past levels like the one with the dev star despite their chances of winning being practically guaranteed in those sorts of levels unless dave can magically find out how to beat it. "how dare you use the level viewer to find an invisible block in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no indicators whatsoever in a level full ways for mario to die!"
100% THIS. Only the trolls care whether or not he uses the level viewer. I would personally rather he use the LV to get through a level, as opposed to watching him die over and over because he can't find the invisible block.
Completely agree. In my mind, whenever a level designer resorts to those kinds of gimmicks - hidden blocks that no one would ever find normally, putting the correct exit out in the middle of YOLO county, softlocks, etc. - then they're cheaters themselves who artificially increased the difficulty unfairly, so it's only fair game to counter cheat in those cases.
As long as we're learning, we're always growing. I appreciate you so much man. You, JRose11, and CALLMEARJ have been the light when I find myself in darkness. I hate for this to sound so sappy and sad, but it's true. I'm sorry if I ever said anything bad to you. You're awesome 😎
So cute to hear dave speaking french. By the way, the title of this level means "Back and Forth Mansion" : "Manoir" means "Mansion" and "Allées Venues" is a French expression that could be translated "comings and goings" but means "back and forth". Just a little french lesson, doesn't hurt
Love ya Dave. What's cool about your channel and your stream is that you make it feel like it did back in those early days when you only had a couple hundred viewers at most. This community is so great and so welcoming, and I am proud to be a long time member. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you brother, we are on this ride together through thick and thin!
I discovered this channel because I wanted to find someone that made Mario maker content because I didn't know anyone that did, but now, I genuinely don't even care what you upload, if it's from you I know it's gonna be great, I just like the way you are, your comments, your humor, everything, you are the best!
After all the troll levels messing with him, it's easy to forget that Dave is legitimately REALLY good at this game. Dude made a super expert level look like endless normal
@@daniell5740 Ehh, he's better than average, I'd say. I was actually watching thinking about how far he has come in terms of skill. I remember his "practice MM1" videos before MM2 came out, and it was...not so great. He's improved a ton since then.
Lucky I stuck around for the last 3 minutes. Having worked with Dave in-person for years I can tell anybody who only knows him from the stream that what you see is what you get in real life. He's an amazing person to know and be around and I'm so thrilled he's done as well as he has doing this.
I started watching all the way back in 2017 in the Mario Odyssey days and I've stuck around even until now. I stayed not just because Mario is cool and you're funny, of course that is a plus haha, but you're just so wholesome and humble and it's not often that you find that staying the whole time. Sometimes people change when they find success and sometimes it's for the worse. You're not like that and it's great to see that. When people stay the same regardless of growth, then you know that they're someone special. I'm glad that I've been able to see this all of this unfold. Thank you for all that you do.
Ur awesome dgr I remember when u were at 80k and u were helping ne fall more in love with Mario odyssey and the "is it possible" challenges, I even remember when it was actually Dan doing repairs before ur streams, but urban awesome individual to watch amd I love ur content and I'm 35 years old, but a kid at heart and u humble me with ur words, I appreciate u so much
Dave, I just wanted to say thank you for your content. I suffer heavily from insomnia and always have to find some type of comfort videos to watch to be able to fall asleep, your videos have some sort of rhythm to them that really helps me relax and eventually fall asleep. And they're incredibly entertaining too, I watch during regular day hours as well! Keep up the great work, it is much appreciated ❤️
That was a really nice n humble way to end. Those qualities are a big part of why I follow Dave. Those…and the copious amount of failed DGR guarantees.
Mr Dave, I hope that you are able to continue enjoying doing all that you've been doing on the Internet, whether it is from streaming or simply enjoying a good time with viewers and people in general. I have been only watching from RUclips and barely on twitch, but I do hope that your personality can bring hapiness to so many more people in the future. I have enjoyed watching just to get some smile and fun for a year or 2 now, even watching some older vods just to appreciate the evolution. Long live the DGR and the checkpoint cities
I worked overnights and Tuesdays were always dead so I would just sit staring at my phone or RUclips and one night one of your levels was recommended to me and I’ve been watching for 2 or 3 years now. Thanks for all you do Dave.
As an entertainer Dave you've shown us with so much humble nature that it's ok to be a dingus from time to time and, even though I'll probably never get to know you in person, I too am thankful for the kindness you brought with you on this journey. I doubt it'll end anytime soon good sir
The final message was so cute! You know we love you, Dave! And I agree with what you say about not considering yourself a "finish product". You're a wonderful streamer! But we always gotta leave some space for more. Some space to evolve. We can always be better somehow. I was expecting some tears in the end 😂 Always keep up the good work. You're awesome!
1)Level viewer isn't cheating. I was a Nintendo Power subscriber way back in the days of NES and SNES (showing my age, here but whatevs). And sometimes that was the only way you were ever going to find certain things. It's no different from strategy guides. if you didn't punch in any codes or alter the game's programming, you didn't cheat. 2) that heartfelt outro. Right in the feels. You've been a source of light in these dark times, spreading joy with you mad skills as well as your epic fails. I hope you keep doing what you do for a long time. We love you, Dave.
My kids love watching you….. I know at times you might get discouraged you are doing an awesome job, have been watching you for three years. Keep up the good work.
Oh my ... I give a like to almost every video I enjoy and I was wondering what my first video of yours was. I was going through my liked videos, which cap at 5000, and found a video of yours from February 2021 in the list before hitting the end of the list (which means I could have been a viewer for even longer). I used to only watch sporadically but now I'm watching daily.
Dave, you're so amazing! Like those final words really touched my feels man! Thanks for being this superb streamer so nice with everyone! Wish you the best!
I grew up on NES and SNES Mario games and haven't owned a Nintendo system since the N64 and I love watching your Mario videos. You're a greater entertainer, Dave! I'm not averse to foul language or mature stuff, but it's also nice that you keep it clean at the same time.
Wow, didn't expect that ending. Heartfelt, went right into my spines. Felt special and perfectly timed after learning that The Black Dahlia Murder's singer had committed suicide. Dave is awesome. No doubt about it.
Dave: Okay it's not been cleared. Me: I guess those two clears it DOES have don't count because a world record wasn't applied for at least one of them then...
I think I got one of those spoon fork things Dave was thinking about inventing. It's a camping thing, one side is a spoon the other side a fork with a bit of knife on the fork side.
I didnt like Mario Maker at all, i just love to see all your videos Dave. Keep that energy man, the world needs more ppl like you. Hugs from Argentina!
Dave, I just gotta say, I really enjoy watching your videos. You may not be the greatest Mario Maker 2 player, or even the greatest Mario player in general (heck, you're better at Mario games than I am, lol), but you always try your hardest (even when you look dumb falling for trolls over and over.) Never stop caring for your community! God bless! Maybe someday I'll get my butt in gear and start recording some games, too.
corta venas - slit veins. As when someone is hearing romantic music or depressed over a (ex) loved one... With that many saws definitely an appropriate title
Wow you been streaming for only 5 years 😮 seems like it's been longer. You're one of my favorites been watching you since Mario odyssey. You're the G.o.a.t keep it up

who cares if he was cheating anyway, it's not like he claims to be the best player.
He didn't use it though? He figured out there had to be a dev star after deciding the visible star was way too hard to get
100% THIS. Only the trolls care whether or not he uses the level viewer. I would personally rather he use the LV to get through a level, as opposed to watching him die over and over because he can't find the invisible block.

If Poo and Pangan don’t need it and never used one he does not either. It’s a no skip run that is cheating for a no skip run
As long as we're learning, we're always growing. I appreciate you so much man. You, JRose11, and CALLMEARJ have been the light when I find myself in darkness. I hate for this to sound so sappy and sad, but it's true. I'm sorry if I ever said anything bad to you. You're awesome 😎
Jrose solo runs are epic
Imagine a level with both a dev exit and dev star in the path of the dev exit…
The level viewer can defeat those. You need a completely chaotic level that even with the level viewer you can’t quite figure out how to beat it
So cute to hear dave speaking french. By the way, the title of this level means "Back and Forth Mansion" : "Manoir" means "Mansion" and "Allées Venues" is a French expression that could be translated "comings and goings" but means "back and forth". Just a little french lesson, doesn't hurt

Your words at the end are AWESOME!!! Love your content!
The fork/spoon combo exists. It's usually sold for camping/backpacking.
What's it called? Please tell me it's the two-tensil (twice the utensil you'll ever need!)
@@charleslee8313 its called a spork and they come standard from kfc
@@vladtempes2632 he's not talking about spork. Dave's supposed invention would have spork and fork on different ends
@@vladtempes2632 Dave straight-up said his idea wasn't the spork.
okay I commented before watching. call it the foon
I have one of those fork/spoon utensils. One of the fork tines even has little “teeth” on the side for cutting food.
I started watching all the way back in 2017 in the Mario Odyssey days and I've stuck around even until now.

14:29 AM I WRONG OR HE HAVE JUST MADE A SPANISH ACCENT BY READING FRENCH AND MAKING THE ITALIAN GESTURE !?
I like how at the end he describes something that already exists (the fork spoon) and I actually have one :)

That SMB3 level was actually really good. I hope that creator makes more levels.

Dave is awesome. No doubt about it.
4+ years long subscriber here, haven't missed a single video :)
We love ya, Dave, and we're here with you every step of the way!
Been watching for 3 years your upbeatness has helped my depression
28:00 I actually think that's a better alternative to a spork
Decent SENSEC runs, Dave. Is more entertaining when you beat several levels.
Dave: Okay it's not been cleared.
Me: I guess those two clears it DOES have don't count because a world record wasn't applied for at least one of them then...
my favorite family friendly content includes gory holes and kumquat pipes

You sure don't look like a finished product! 😆
9:33 OHH That's what I was reminded of!

It's a camping thing, one side is a spoon the other side a fork with a bit of knife on the fork side.
the outro 👌 you are a great youtuber and streamer ❤️ full love from Quebec ( french canadian)
The spoon fork sounds like what my friend made in grade 11 business class when we had to come up with something to sell, was a group project.

that speech made me cry at the end
DGR attempting French is hilarious 😂
I may not be joining the streams but I'm here to see Dave's growth on RUclips
Really beautiful speech at the end
28:32 "So, you're eating a fork"
28:45 - Sorry DGR, but the doubled-ended fork/spoon already exists, I have one in my cutlery drawer. :(
"You can't always get wa-ant" he says as he dies MaxLOL
DGR the spoon fork is a good idea but sharpen one side like a knife so you have a spoon flip it for the fork and turn it to its side to cut things
Those levels where it’s just a word and you have collect the coins. I hate those lol
Schön und wahre Worte am Ende. Kann ich als streamer nur bestätigen 👍
