I enjoy Asmon's content most of the time, but his comments on the $350 just made me lose a lot of respect for him. Lost Ark has made him justify the dumbest things. No, I don't think he's a paragon of ethics, but he used to moderate his attitude to not sound like a rich asshole.
Why does he not care now? He'd say he never cared, but I think other people spending a lot of $$ has made him realize he can hide in the crowd of whales now. He's never been humble in this regard, but I find it odd that he's saying that amount of money isn't a big thing.
If this were about WoW, 1/10 of that price being spent would make him rage. I won't call it a double standard since they are different purchases, but I feel like his fundamental values (as a streamer; I don't know him personally) have shifted due to what's seen as acceptable due to Lost Ark.
Not that anyone cares if I've lost respect for him. And to be clear, I still respect him somewhat, it's just…lower than before. But again, who cares. You know when someone says something and get a flood of replies saying 'based'? It's like his statement was the opposite of that. It's not untrue, but belittling the fact…well, at this point it's clear that it bothers me.
I don't think anyone should ever say "what, only $350?" when it comes to spending money on a game. I had considered it was just a joke, but the only joke was his conversion rate from euros to USD.
Alright, butthurt rant over.
My GF in high school long ago wanted to spend more time with me so she tried to start playing WoW. I would sneak on her account and delete myself off her friends list, tell her I was going to the cabin for the weekend and just play, re-adding myself to her list on Sunday night/Monday haha.
The story HAS to be fake. Who the fuck gets mad at being stuck in the tower and end up throwing money at the game?!?!? Bro just level up.. get the honing mats… If you reach a certain iLevel, you can use the gold you earned to jump 300 or so iLevels by buying the next tier's gear ahead of time on the auction house. Jeez. No way someone is that dumb 🤣 I refuse man. Its funny to hear but I just can't believe it. Whomever wrote it is probably laughing at these channels who use it to "own the predatory corporations". The people who spend money are generally the ones happy to do so. I'm sure anger buying might be a thing… but for the tower? The tower?! Thats not even remotely urgent content whatsoever.
I aggree. People are stupid. There were so many topics about Lost Ark being P2W and he still started playing it. It's like a person with gambling issues walking into a casino hoping he'll not spend. Dont pretend to know what games should be. What we should do now is to create a program for people like this, because it will not just ruin his relationship, it will mess up his life.
this has to be one of Asmon's worst takes because this is straight up someone talking without an ounce of empathy to something that is medically defined as an illness. "Dont Drink, Dont do drugs easy" but it is never that simple. If you want to talk about "most" people, most people don't know they are predisposed to addiction. Why is it that i can drink socially and never become and alcoholic, 19 out of 20 of my friends can drink, heavily sometimes, and not become alcoholics, and yet there will be people who look at all the people around them, who can drink, and understandably take that first sip?
Sure drugs are bad. you shouldnt take drugs, but some people can take even heavy opiods after surgery and not get hook but others, this is an easy gate way. We don't know why that person need those endorphines, we don't know what circumstances lead to them trying the things they are addicted to.
Some people get addicted to video games "but just don't play, your responsibility man"
Some people get addicted to porn, "hey you decided to watch porn so its your fault"
Some people get addicted to exercise, "Hey, you decided to run instead of staying home, so its your fault".
Asmon's take can only be described as a privileged take because as much as he wants to use his mother as "i've seen it happen" he has no idea why someone could do something that can lead to an addiction. And it really is sad to hear him use his mother for this example.
PVE ruin lifes. Just PVP and problem solved
3:10 american education at its finest
Pretty sure it was Ashole who ruied his relationship.
LOL THAT STORY IS SO FAKE AHAHAHAHAHAHAH , SMITHING STONES IM DEADD
Real opinions are cool 😎
I was prescribed fentanyl for 6 years due to pain. So I know what its like to suffer drug addiction. I finally got so sick of the side effects I decided I would get off from it. It took me 9 months to get off from it and it was the hardest thing I have done in my life. I understand now how someone could sell their own kid to avoid feeling withdrawal, it is a horrible feeling. I don't agree with doing that but I certainly understand their motivation in full now. Asmon is 100% right, addiction can tie your hands but you still have your own will. When I got off Fentanyl completely my doctors told me 96% of the people on it that long could never get off from it even with help let alone through sheer will like I had.
Addiction may be a horrible monster, but slaying monsters is what gamers are good at. If I can do it anyone else can.
15:37 BIG TRUE
That conversion from Euro to US Dollar asmon did is legit
I agree with Asmon 100%. People are accountable and responsible for their own actions. My dads choices caught up to him. Drank a lot, smoked since he was 9yo, weakened his immune system, got a chest cold he never went to the doctors for.. ended up stretched his heart and now he lives with heart failure. Stopped drinking, tries to eat relatively healthy (though he has to lose weight). Still smoking though.. he knows he should quit and just can't. But the doctors say it was definitely the alcohol that led to his heart failure more. Been 12 years or so since and he was forced to retire in his late 40s. And thats why I will never pick up alcohol, drugs, cigarettes.. I won't even risk it.
On the topic of drugs, in many case its young adults trying to "feel" something. I don't think its about being cool. I think its just as simple as it numbs any negative feelings and then its just a ride of euforia. Either way, at least in the 90th percentile of drug addicts, it was 100% their choice. They fucked up. And then they kept fucking up which made it harder and harder to quit. No amount of regulation is going to change the fact that the people who choose to do that stuff have very big personal problems that probably require a therapist of some sort. And them ignoring their problems and turning to drugs because its easier than being present is 100% their choice. I get wanting to sympathize or empathize with these people.. but you can do that without absolving them of their accountability.
A drunk driver doesn't get to blame the alcohol to avoid punishment.
Not tonight dear, I have a raid. 😜
"Take away everybody's personal accountability and you'll have people doing bad things to themselves blaming somebody else."
30:58 I 100% agree with you but sadly we live in a world where everyone tries to baby everything and never let said stupid ppl learn from their mistakes
“I wish I could buy smithing stones in Elden Ring” 😂😂
Gambling should not be enjoyable for a rational species. Shouldering uncertainty, especially at a cost, should be stressful and unpleasant. Humans, however, are optimistic to a fault.
I can't wait to get home early today and play the s…out of it….my gf she's doing double shift today 😁
I have a long term relationship, work a full time job, play lots of golf, live with my mom, and I play LA about 5-6 hours a day. Works out just fine, just gotta time manage.
Do not play any Korean/Eastern games unless: (i) you have PROPER and disposable incomes; or (ii) you think your time is worthless.
If you want to succeed in lost ark, farm in real life (rather than in game) and spend it in game.
It is just how it works in the Eastern gaming scenes (sadly) but it has been like this for as long as they start making games.
gamers just went down "having as a partners" rank. We used to be rank 15 because we dont go out, going home immediately after work, occasionally outing and not make a mess at home. this problem gonna bump us out to rank 21 or something, below abusers which is surprisingly rank 19.
I think it goes both ways. People with addictive disorders DO need to take care of themselves. But we can still criticize games like Lost Ark for deliberately exploiting this.
"I'd be breaking up with him for fuccin up the tower" 🤣🤣 Zach is fkin guts man
lmao
NEET=Punching bag
as far as the reddid post…so she was mad he spent money on the game and not on her most likely.
bro you have no relationship because look at your god damn wall
Wtf kind of idiot would Rage spend on lost Ark.
i smoke for 20+ years , i tried coke once, xtc once , and speed once, i don't think that any drug is a gateway 2 another drug, its not like just because i smoke weed ill start using heroin for shits and giggles, people are not stupid and avoid the most addictive drugs , as did i.
who would have thought that a guy with this background would mention mental illness.
Asmongold just make your own mmo for us to enjoy
blaming the game fo your gamling addiction. HAHHAH what a loser
Video dude €350, asmon 350 Dollar.
For those who want to know €350=385,8 dollar.
16:34 This level of victim blaming is ridiculous. Overlooking red flags happens all the time in relationships, and was the only reason why Asmon was with Pink in the first place. She still deserves sympathy.
When i lose a Dota game infront of my wife i stop playing out of shame. Need to git guud when she's not watching
i agree with the vid but its funny to me that this man is talking about the dude as if he had a mental illness when he has a room that looks like that.
Jesus Christ his take on NEET's being modern day monks is just pure gold
Ive spent 30 dollars combined on every f2p game collectively ive ever played. Except dota. I give em like 20 to 30 dollars a year
Imagine making a reddit thread about your situation like that LMFAO . . .I'm pretty sure it's a meme, I wouldn't go make a reddit post about my S.O's spending money on a game, i'd go and fking have a conversation, multiple ones and get it on track, not farm upvotes. . .It's either a meme or just fake lmao
I gotta say, asmon's take on addiction specifically with drugs is pretty darn spot on. I have been in recovery from alcohol and other drugs for a long time now. It literally took me being on the brink of death to stop. That's not even an exaggeration. So it all boiled down to my decision, do I wanna live? Or die? What I'm trying to say is that it ultimately comes down to your decision and no one else's. Taking no accountability for your actions is just foolish and pathetic. Anyway, that's my two cents do what you will with it. Props to ya asmon.
To be fair, if I came home to my gf playing lost ark I would break up with her too. The game is cancer, designed to suck every penny out of guys who get addicted
You can't tell me that someone that's doing a "relaxing" activity like gaming just feeling his lover's gaze for 5 seconds and answering "DON'T TALK TO ME" only just now gave this person a flag. Just now.
This one.
Bro this man probably beat your shit sideways on the second date and said it'll never happen again. Man needs help and half.
The true f2p game: league of legends. And if you have Amazon prime you get some RP every month
I, too, have seen friends and family fall victim to their own bad decisions. I'm with Asmon here. Yes, once you're addicted to drugs it's not as easy as "just don't do it anymore" but there has to be accountability for the fact that they did it in the first place and continued enough to become addicted. It's also important that, when people acknowledge that thier addiction is their fault, they don't use that fact to perpetuate a defeatest attitude.
People who live with their parents, get kicked out of the house. 350 euros is a monthly salary in aaaaaaalot of countries.
