I don't hang around on Youtube enough to catch them evidently, this is the first time I've seen it.
UPDATE: He's playing Kingdom Hearts beginning to end, with proceeds from the stream going to the Healing Horse Therapy Center.

He did one yesterday.
The horse charity is a bit of an eyebrow raiser. It's kind of a niche concern...

It's a charity his mother is involved in, apparently. He didn't say (or I didn't hear) how much of the proceeds go to it, but people are vomiting money into the Superchat left and right. Already seen a couple $100 and $50 donation.
If it's all going to the charity, then good on him.

It's a decent charity, sure - but, you'd think he'd want to donate something a little closer to home/something most people can relate to, like - I don't know - mental health research?

You know in response to both of you two, I kind of was interested in her charity. I checked a couple sites that are commonly used for checking if charities are real as well as reputable. What was interesting to me was that I could not find her charity. I assume it is because of how small it is, and just a cursory review of it makes it seem like Arin's mom is the chief if not only employee running this charity.
I always hear stories about how a charity may only actually move forward 10% to the intended causes and sometimes not usefully because the intent isn't to have a charity as much as it is paychecks for the people working for it.
I mean the type of charity this is, it's more likely to be a dream job. Say she wanted to have a horse and take care of it and this lets the charity do all the heavy financial lifting and she also gets the benefit of helping potatoes like her son.

anyone else think that this is goin to take more then a day to complete especially if he reads donations I dont even think it is possible even if he got to point a to b with minimal grinding and tank and spanking all the bosses the cutscenes alone will slow him down

I won't give Arin much credit but I will give him the benefit of looking up how to do stuff online. If he's done that, and found a strategy that works, then he will. The positive publicity combined with his relatively low amount of effort are all a boon.

Considering games like these are usually 40+ hours and require grinding in order to properly face off against certain bosses; no chance in Hell he'll finish it in a day.
I expect Arin to be pitching a fit over how much this game sucks because he overestimated his gaming abilities/grossly underestimated how much work is required to beat this game.

So I decided to take a look at the charity, it gets a bit confusing. If you Google "healing horse therapy center" it comes up with one in North Carolina. Arin however is from Florida, so I added "florida" to the search. I got one in Loxihatchee Florida, but when you click on the link it rerouted to the other horse therapy center in N.C.
Looking at the charity a bit more:
-official site states they are in N.C, it links to their official Twitter which hasn't been updated since 2016 and says they are located in Florida
Arin's mom
My journey with horses began at the age of 8. I was the typical horse crazy young girl who dreamed of having and riding my fairytale horse. I saved all of my birthday/holidays monies so that I could attend riding camp during the summers. Life moves on…college, marriage and children, but my connection to that dream never left. As kids started school, I was able to start back into the equine world.
My greatest opportunity was when a local therapeutic riding center was looking for volunteers and the possibility of becoming a certified therapeutic riding instructor was offered. To me it was a no-brainer! Coming from a special education background and combining my now years of equine knowledge and experience just was perfect!
I am a 25 year veteran of equine management and 18 year student and practitioner of natural horsemanship. I am a PATH, Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International) certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor and PATH, Intl. certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning, along with being a Special Olympic Equestrian Coach. I am the Founder Executive Director of Healing Horse Therapy Center, Inc. My vision has been to create and offer a safe, nuturing, supportive, serene environment for humans and horses alike. I believe this is the right combination for healing and wellness to take place.
“Maurette (and the programming at HHTC) has an intuitive and gentle way to work with both horse and human; she provides an environment of both emotional safety and professional acuity which is essential in the equine facilitated mental health setting. She is a pleasure to work with and an adept collaborator; she has the capacity to merge her natural horsemanship skills into a mental health/equine setting to bring about a wonderful connection between horse and human.
She sees the implicit value of the horse/human relationship in helping repair emotional fracture and trauma; she understands that in equine facilitated mental health the “skills” one learns are a conduit to emotional healing rather than skill building alone. Her dedication to the work and willingness to look outside of the box of traditional therapeutic horsemanship to explore this burgeoning and needed field of Equine Facilitated Mental Health is inspiring. Her understanding of how to collaborate on a mental health program makes working with her enjoyable from start to finish–for professionals and clients alike.”

sorry if this is late as fuck but
Despite saying he's not a "gamer" in the traditional term, I'm always happy when Dan's led an LP, either through his old steam train episodes of Sierra Games, or very, very rarely being the actual player in a GG episode.
When Dan plays a game he's never played before, he doesn't have the same 'tism that Arin has, and is genuinely curious about the game world. There's a good chunk of the time when he plays that he actually tries to learn what's going on before saying anything about difficulty. On the other hand, the Sierra games shows that he shines well when he's already experienced with a game, since he tends to explain a lot of history behind them, Easter Eggs, etc.

Tbf Horse Therapy is an actually useful thing. I’m very close to someone with special needs, and for that, anyone who’s had a damaging accident, or anything similar, riding a horse is pretty much the best thing you can do for (re-)building muscle strength, balance, and coordination. The main problem with it is that upkeep of a stable is pretty expensive, meaning the therapy itself is also pretty expensive. I’m sure there’s a “better” use of the money, but I don’t think horse therapy is worthless.

I don't disagree. Just saying, her charity has received decent donations for a few years yet can't make a cognizant website or have more then one employee (her).

Tru dat. I'd just chalk it up to "middle age can't internet". She probably deals directly with people and works through references or smthn. I can't bee that articulate rn.

Once Arin got big enough and started making the real big bucks he turned around to his original Newgrounds/early Youtube audience and just told them to fuck off . He only wants fans that will be good and laugh at the same dick jokes he's been making for 7 years now. Edgy people don't make big money and that's not economically viable. Now he pretends that he's above all of them and has disowned multiple long term friends because they don't conform to his boring, sterile, LA way of thinking.
