wip is up
0:00 - 13:30 all pretty boring. trying to relive his glory days, replaying old games
13:30-end. taxes. Rehashes how his accountant screwed him last year and now he has three payments to make. He claims to have some money saved, but not enough, so he needs his fans to save his butt again. it's just begging, "I need your help." But a few interesting take-aways:
He's established that the tax-related begging will be perpetual. Every quarter he has to pay a ton in taxes but he doesnt know how much he owes. It will be a lot, probably on a payment plan over the course of years, and will include back taxes, interest, and late fees. The tax saga is officially endless at this point.
Interestingly, he is only begging for cash directly via tipping and patreon. He did not even mention bits at all, presumably because he knows he'll get in trouble for it. He needs money to pay for his taxes, and he's allowed to beg for it, so he does.
Even more interestingly though the patreon plugs were brief and sparse, so he seems uninterested in trying to resuscitate it. He's begging for money to pay for his taxes, not looking to expand his "business" or improve his patreon or offer better rewards or content. It's a long-term begging strategy, but a short-term business strategy.
