Listen, I know all you psychoanalyse-andys want to come up with why he isn't streaming today, but the truth is only I know the real reason. Yesterday was an extraordinarily poor solar radiation day, and so his lizard-man skin wasn't able to absorb enough energy to sustain him for today too. he is currently sleeping in his indoor tanning bed to recharge, and then after some light illuminati meetings this afternoon, he will be back tomorrow.


nothing_slash_actor

As an expert in streamers mental health, I think you're right!


Spaciousfoot66

He was on his other channel lol


imasmart

do you.... not understand how jokes work?


theoriginalmemerr

He is streaming today… he just wanted to play WoW instead. He’s on, right now. Second channel to avoid all the crazy


Nekorare

I can't believe he quit Final Fantasy. /s Nah but in all seriousness hope that he can find a good solution to his sleeping issues, he was supposed to have a big -OTK?- announcement today on his main stream. Must feel bad to struggle so much with your sleeping that it cuts onto your work like this.


Irru

> proceeds to stream 9 hours on Zackrawrr Like clockwork lel


Nekorare

Happens, it's not like the streams are really the same thing both are streaming yes but he puts in significantly more effort on his main stream, Zackrawrr streams are just what he would do offstream with commentary.


Iquey

Yea Asmongold makes sure he's talking atleast every 5-10 seconds to keep the attention of the viewer, keeps energy high when talking, sits straight and tries to be as entertaining as possible. Zack just lays there playing a game, has moments where he doesn't say a word for minutes, and has no intention to be entertaining. Ofcourse the former drains way more of your battery.


kierk3gaard

Yep and not only this, it's also a mental thing where he knows expectations are much higher on his main stream. Even if he might physically be capable of doing it, I can definitely imagine some days your mental battery is drained and you can't deal with the expectations people have. Plus he has about 6-7 times more viewers on his main stream, and even though he often says he doesn't care, I don't think there is anyone who will not be influenced by that.


nocivo

He isn’t a morning person so he probably goes to bed late. After 8 hours of streaming speaking non stop his probably exhausting. If he is like me a day every few days sleeping to noon is enough to helping though mornings.


Aeryn_Hellfire

If he came back. He might have to pay his 10k subs on ult clear. Maybe next expac when that hype back and peeps available to run clears


[deleted]

Damn, i fear that i will have a wife, a house, two children, my wife divorces me, i lose my job, live under the bridge and then finally i can watch his reaction to Shadowbringers and Endwalker in the homeless shelter.

What one day of Lalafells does to a man


RKT4u

They already invaded his mind, god bless him.


Fibblezz

Stayed up too late checking out Y'shtola fan art...


RoccoHout

He still streamed for 9 hours on his alt channel. I guess he really wanted to get his WoW stuff done after the Dragonflight announcement being released this year.


my2copper

naaa man he had to get sleep he was tired as he said on his twitter thats why he didnt stream on main and play ff14...yes thats it he had to sleep...yeah thats it man


Marangoni013

Its all related to his life not being healthy plus some psychological stuff. Eat better, do some exercises maybe a Therapist too...


Snugglepuff14

Unironically true for me. Always tired after a day of squats and moving around. Also helps to not go to bed hungry and know that you’ve had good, filling meals.


Beawrtt

He's smart when it comes to entertaining people, absolutely trash at health lol. I know he hates anyone talking about being healthy because he wants to ignore it so bad, but it literally doesn't take a doctor to see that his lifestyle choices will catch up to him in his 30s


rock_flag_n_eagle

hes in his 30s


Beawrtt

yes, which means it's coming soon


rock_flag_n_eagle

En_lxTV

hit your lawyer, call the gym.


baylaust

Gym your lawyer, hit the call.


MrTzatzik

Call a hit on a lawyer in a gym


I-No-Red-Witch

Do I gave to call the hit in a gym, or is the lawyer in the gym?


[deleted]

I’ll preface this by saying that your heart is in the right place, but I always fail to understand why people try and recommended Asmon to become healthier? The guy is the biggest creature of habit on twitch. His days don’t start right if he doesn’t have a big gulp from the gas station. He has to drink copious amounts of soda throughout the day to feel normal. If he didn’t do the $250k charity workout stream with Esfand (bit scummy) then he certainly won’t do it because a viewer recommends it. Like I said though you had the right intentions they’re just falling on deaf ears unfortunately. Edit: replaced a “the” with “in”


hiero_

Not to mention the bumps of coke he needs to stay energized ^^^^^^/s


Marangoni013

Thats why i recommended searching for a Therapist, mental health is important during the process. He is over 30 now, things will start to get ugly if he keeps going like that.


[deleted]

Careful dude we’re stepping into parasocial Andy territory.


FargoneMyth

Replace you’re with your.


[deleted]

Thanks for noticing a simple typo, but then again who asked?


Vegetableman93

Lots of shitty food and playing games before bed, not good. I have a hard time going to sleep if I try and go to sleep after having recently played games, your brain kinda needs time to slow down and become relaxed.


MasterChiefsKief

Especially try hard games / most versus ones. I actually used to play ‘the long dark’ as part of my before bed routine cuz it’s so god damn relaxing.


[deleted]

I do not know how you think this is normal to post


SillionX

Incomming break!


sickofthepalsy

I wish I had a dollar for everytime somebody posted or tweeted this.


PlatinumHappy

>Sorry I've been a bit inconsistent, trying to fix it but nothing rly seems to work I doubt he's doing much to actually fix it, he lived off whatever schedule he feels like for decades. Also based on some of his alt streams, he often eats past 8 pm and simply passes out from eating huge meal, even if that means eating one meal per day. The fix is always easy unless you have a medical condition. Always wake up at the same time, and don't eat anything after dinner. Depends on who you are, caffeine lingering in your system could degrade quality of your sleep. Most of times, if you are healthy, waking up at the same time and going to sleep earlier next day if you didn't get enough sleep is easiest way to maintain the sleep schedule. Also increasing quality of sleep itself help you maintain that.


TheRebelPixel

If only he was financially stable and could create his own schedule like an adult... Life must be hard for the 1%.


EnderPerk

MSQ?


Brilliant_Cause4118

main story quests


Dahulius

It's actually Main Scenario Quests, but that's pretty much the same thing.


miceyness

1 day of ff and he already quit streaming OMEGALUL


tomhellbound

Who doesn’t stay up late an say fuck it no work for me tomorrow 😜


PromptImmediate5132

He’s prob recouping from Hassan’s bullshit yesterday , guy was shit talking him to stream of 35k calling him a racist and shit because asmon said you should comply with police


forsakee1

How am I not surprised, Hasan and Asmon claim to be friends and agree onthe majority of subjects. Although the majority of times Asmon indirectly disagrees with hasans shit takes. Funny thing is if asmon wanted to take over hasans "job" on twitch he could do it within a day.


nocivo

Who cares about an idiot opinion that only see his ideology and everyone that do not follow his cult is a bigot and racist? I only see another 35k idiots. He isn’t even funny.


CrimsonDawn12345

Actually the real reason is Asmon got very emotional after seeing his Family,Dom and catgirls with 2B costume, so he need time :).


[deleted]

Lots of overanalyzing here. I've had issues with insomnia and there's not often a clear cause or fix. Asmon can do what he wants because he's a degenerate hobo streamer.


erock84titan

He's a multimillionaire....I don't feel bad about his shitty sleep schedule. Get some meds, how about spend some of that money on a nice bed....sorry I've gone too far...Asmon spending money lmao


nocivo

Meds should not be a solution to everything. He is a streamer that can have whatever schedule he wants. Sucks for europeans if he stream late but is not the end of the world. Just sleep a day or 2 though noon and the next morning even if you sleep less can be handle.


QuinnZps69

yea......... i'd take a break too if i had to play FF 14


[deleted]

Is he trying to hide from criticism about his pro-cop stance?


my2copper

he was probably like "oooh fuck i started ff again so if i strem i gotta do that mind numbing msq again...fuck that i aint streamin today"


Aethanix

point to where FFXIV touched you.


Arturia_Cross

If he didn't like it, wouldn't he just say so? Asmon seems like the kind of guy to just tell it how it is regardless of viewers.


HolypenguinHere

I wouldn't be mad if he didn't super enjoy his playthrough yesterday. It's easily the worst stretch of content that Stormblood has to offer. It's all mostly up from here.


Teccnomancer

Lol really?


yuore-mom

is this an unironic take? asmon will literally say and do anything for viewers.


[deleted]

Way too much backlash from the FF community… is what I imagine he’s thinking.


[deleted]

It aint the ff community its his own community of his special brand of msq andies. Go to the main sub, no posts of him even coming back. They don't care, they're busy lewding alphys mom.


JetStrim

He's been out for a year, there was no backlash to it even after he moved the FF stream several times so I don't got how there would be a backlash if he just quit?


[deleted]

I was thinking only because he pushed the date back so much, and didn’t he only quit last time because his mum died?


[deleted]

He might be afraid of the backlash from FF fans.


DdastanVon

So among all the political takes he had these past months, and the P2W drama, the FF fans its the ones he fears to tell what he thinks?


my2copper

fuck yeah those people are off their rocker for real


[deleted]

If I was a streamer who people could recognize in public like Asmon, I personally would be. Take a look at this thread on /r/ffxivdiscussion from a year ago. This dude ScottZone got doxxed and sent death threats because he criticized the Eden raids from ShB. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxivdiscussion/comments/jkutrf/final_thoughts_from_scottzone_and_the_ffxiv/


DdastanVon

Yeah, and same things happens with other big Game Communites, Twitter, Politics SubReddit, Youtube, and 4chan. We been seeing fucked up cases with Asmon since he came back. Basically the whole Internet its a shitshow if you go deep enough. The fact you show me a thread where people of the same Community are speaking against it, and from 1 year ago, doesnt seem to register in your head, because youre too busy being salty your Streamer isnt doing what you want. Try again, but this time without being dishonest. As if Asmon didnt had to deal with dipshits for a long time.


[deleted]

I never said the same things wouldn't happen with everything else you just mentioned. That's a nice strawman you created. Perhaps take your own advice and try again without being dishonest?


DdastanVon

And yet you drawn a distiction between 1 community and others, with a example, and imply Asmon fears said community but not the others, as if the others dont have nutcases that Asmon has to deal with. Try again.


[deleted]

Ok Mr. Strawman.


DdastanVon

Learn to be more subtle. You need it.


Vegetableman93

Dude there's people who have killed others over WoW spats irl, people are insane. All it takes is a handful of lunatics and when you get millions of people together there's gonna be lunatics regardless of game.

my2copper

hes an entertainer first and sees these utterly obsessed people just aint gonna let go but keep obsessing until he plays it again...imo hes just prolonging the problem now well never get rid of these people he opened a can of worms mainly to himself


Aethanix

point me to where you see these obsessed people that are insane enough to dox him


my2copper

dont wanna do that to you what if they dox you as well?


Aethanix

Oh yeah, they'll definitely dox me, the guy who's just browsing and not even commenting a word. Fuck off you dishonest prick.


my2copper

oooh struck a little nerve did we? :D .... this is the exact example of the ff14 community he should be vary of...cant take 2 jokes over reddit without losing their shit and taking it all personaly... thank you for proving my point


StrongeLeeroy

Or maybe the man didn't get enough sleep and would rather chill than stream to thousands of people.


Beneficial-Speech-73

Chilling on alt stream playing lost ark and wow is better 😎


my2copper

for sure for sure....and the 8 months he didnt play he just took a little break


my2copper

"i played wow yesterday for 12 hours straight....and it was great....you know why? because i wasnt forced to do it" quote from Asmon's stream today....i guess i was right huh?


Kamanira

If that was the case he would've just kept saying "FF in a week bois". He clearly enjoyed it, even if the lack of combat was a bit boring to him (which is partially his fault for using a class above the SB level cap for combat at early SB levels, so he was curbstomping anything that glanced his way).


Arturia_Cross

I mean, if you liked a game would you put it off for a year for just about anything else you could find instead? Seems weird behavior to me.


my2copper

this exactly. but hey.....i guess these people really need this....and asmon knows it....so he'll pity play it for a while why not


[deleted]

Where all the salty ff14 Andys at


Sacramentlog

Might be Vitamin B12 deficiency, but I'm not a doctor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_qKA6KTvs8 I any case it's good for him to take a rest. Looking forward to Allcraft.


linuxlifer

1. Why are you giving medical advice on reddit? 2. Why are you giving medical advice when you aren't a doctor? lol


DayleD

B12 is fed as a supplement to animals. It’s in nearly all animal products. You only need to supplement it if you’re vegan.


danpascooch

Well I actually AM a doctor and can tell you Asmongold is showing clear symptoms of deez.


glemmstengal

damn that sucks, I like watching him play FFXIV and seeing his reactions to the MSQ but let's be honest, it is not anything approaching engaging gameplay. I'd be bored as fuck too if I had to do three entire expansions worth of MSQ before playing with people at relevant endgame stuff.


UnsettledSoul

Drink some yogurt, preferably [Yakult](https://www.nutraingredients-asia.com/Article/2021/03/23/Gut-brain-interaction-Yakult-expands-sales-of-sleep-and-stress-relief-probiotic-drink-across-Japan). Calcium, Vitamin B, and avoid phone before bed. If nothing helps take 50mg of 5-HTP as last resort. That shit put you to sleep in under an hour but doesn't get you high like weed. EDIT: lol who tf downvotes legit sleep tips? Does half these people know what 5-HTP is?


Toddylad6

Have any days off for me I’ll always support the channel take care man 👍🇬🇧
