They went from 70 contributors to over 6000 in less than a day, it's likely just suffering from success lmao

Today I participated in my first ever Kickboxing fight, it went super well!

Just an interclub fight so nothing ranked or anything, just wanted to test myself and fight in front of a crowd

Enjoy this image of me landing a nice little headkick x

So the Rockstar union busting saga has gone to court, Rockstar has had to provide evidence that their firings were justified.

One employee got fired for this single discord message, they wrote nothing else in the union discord.

No disciplinary, no meeting.

Pure scum company

new cod

- always online single player campaign that you can't pause or idle without getting the boot
- boss battles so bad they're already YT shorts parody
- AI calling cards despite having billions of dollars

100/100 score, absolutely flawless game

how embarrassing

I've been training for around 18 months. It's honestly changed my life, I've made friends, lost a tonne of weight, and improved my mental health drastically.

I might document the fight and/or training for it on my second channel

If I get whooped it's going to the grave lmao

Today I signed up to compete at my boxing gym. Nothing long term, just one fight to knock it off the bucket list

It's something I've been wanted to do for a long time, really push myself out of my comfort zone and go to war with someone in a ring/cage πŸ₯Š

Fuck man...

This guy taught me absolutely everything I know about chess. I watched his videos with breakfast every morning, engrossed by his ability to teach and clear passion for the sport.

I'm still awful at chess, but I'd be much more awful without him, rip <3

Finally getting around to trying Skate 4

Have to uninstall unrelated software from my PC to get the game to launch (anticheat stops the game from booting if certain programs are detected I guess)

Then I boot in and get this monstrosity

The absolute fucking state of it

The devs behind GTA SanVive have opened positions for closed testers of their mod pack, and they're asking for your government ID as part of the process

What the fuck is wrong with these people lmao

Do NOT give your ID to some random dev, and stay the hell away from these guys

Final update!

In shocking news, the criminal decided not to take me to court. The video has been reinstated, and the strike has been removed from my channel.

Still mental that I just have to accept the lost revenue and potential channel deletion lmao

My counter notification was finally accepted (was rejected four times for no reason, absolute joke).

Aon Gamer now has ten business days to take me to court. Let's see if he wants to be that stupid :)

Here we go again!

Aon Gamer has illegally struck my channel.

To those who don't know, I made a video exposing him for charity fraud a little while back. My video is entirely fair use, but of course YT doesn't care about that :)

Only my 2nd ever false strike, thought I'd have more by now tbh
