It shows you so clearly how much he doesn't know cleaning when he talks about his house taking multiple weeks to clean with help. Great that he himself has gotten this commitment/ realization to clean it up. Ofcouse the initial big clean is the hardest but after that upkeep is important but so much more manageable.
He really just needs to do maintenance and repairs top down and inside out. Have the roof looked at and any shingles and things that need to be replaced, done so. Have the attic cleaned and insulated as he's had rodents and pests. Raccoons can get into things and really cause a lot of damage. Same goes for under the house. Then just start cleaning from the inside out. Rent one of those "PODS" to store stuff so he can clear out a room entirely and have it painted and carpet torn up and replaced. Have a dumpster rented as well so anything that is trash can be thrown in it and anything he wants to keep put into the POD. I'm all for letting Asmon live however he wants. But if he truly wants to get the place cleaned up and looking nice then doing it right and fully the first time would be the best way to go about it. I'm sure one thing is clearing out his Mom's things is going to be hard. Maybe going through it and doing it together with his Dad and reminiscing as they go would be nice for them to do together. I'm just making suggestions, and ultimately whatever works best for him is great.
Being a first responder, I've seen worse, but two things... hire a cleaning company to help. You'll get overwhelmed and stop. And most likely repeat the cycle. Second. This is a mental health issue. It doesn't matter how many people come over and tell you how bad they react because of the house, if you don't get the help you need, this will not change. And get worse as you age. Love your channel and I hope you can crush this! Bonus tip: just do one small thing at a time. Don't tackle it all at once.
This is the one time where its justified to hire some pro's to clean it up. And also if its just like a cleaning lady, make her day and pay her super well!
@@ALLmasked Nah, I don't think so. No mortal could survive in that house, the homeless looking man on the screen has to be some sort of deepfake. You can see him interacting with some stuff in the environment, which rules out that its just a greenscreen.
"Prithee, leave me be. I have no love for the living and no living can survive here. Tis' my choice to wander these abandoned wastes, I am alone here and I am content with it."
Never underestimate his white shirt, as it is enchanted with Poison, Toxic, and Scarlet Rot resistances. He is wearing the Poisonbite Ring and Sun Princess Ring, and also has the Blessed Dew Talisman in his pocket too. Mans is decked out, while also having naturally high resistances to many forms of degeneration from his chosen class: Sophisticated Oonga Boonga Man.
@@DSoraK Until he went to California, he did say he felt better over there lol. He's eccentric, eccentrics don't get ill like regular people, that's a fact, look it up.
The moment you walk through the fog wall you instantly start building up Scarlet Rot. Like others have said, no mere mortal can step foot in his arena without at least some damage taken.. and if you make it to his -room- throne room, you start taking Pestilent Mist damage as well.
Hire a professional deep cleaning company to clean it. They will bag and tag everything and move all furniture out, clean the shit out of every surface and then put all the furniture back.
Honestly, he ought to hire some cleaning people to come and give him a hand. This kind of thing is too much for one person. This is coming from a guy who's own room is nowhere near as bad yet still needed help getting the motivation to get a *section* of it cleaned up.
His house doesn't look too big, a deep cleaning crew could come in and do this in 2-3 days for 1-2k bucks. Probably even tax deductible as it's his 'office'.
@@malchir4036 That's just junk removal, this is 20 years of history he needs to sort through and organize, figure out what he want to keep and get rid of
Yes and no. Yes, it would help frame the issue. But no. I somewhat relate to Asmon in a way. Guys like us don't change *unless we somehow perceive a practical reason for doing so.* Asmon found that reason.
Dust and possibly mold, yeah it'll make you sick. Bring in a service to clean it all up. Go through your things to see what you want to keep and be ruthless throwing stuff away. Remove all the carpet and have hard flooring put down. Renovate the entire inside of the house. Paint. Have the duct work cleaned. Replace the windows with storm windows. Replace the bed and furniture. Pay people to do it all so it gets done and done right. Expensive? Sure. But you can afford it right? For your health it needs to happen. Do it.
This guy knows what's up. It's fastidious, but it's the only way. Most important point: health hazard. Sinusitis caused by housing mold is not a joke and can get real bad real quick leading to lung infections. Happened to me once when I rented a real shitty appartement in a derelict place, never again.
If I could "thumbs up" this a thousand times, I would. Should also do mold remediation between the walls. Check the basement too. And check for lead and asbestos. And yes, even with the money to do it, it'll still take weeks, even several months, to completely check and scour everything, but at least he's willing to do it.
@@Merknilash I agree with you but isn't the house he currently lives in where his mom also lived? I'm sure theres some emotional connection to it. I could be wrong, im not sure.
It's alarming; Zack is so used to tolerating a minimal existence he doesn't understand how he's hurting himself. He makes more than enough money to pay for a cleaning service to help him through the threshold, and then a maid to clean up after him once a week. That will improve his QoL dramatically, and free his energy up towards more productive things. Man needs to invest in himself.
It's normal for a person's nose to get used to bad smell if you're constantly inside a smelly envoirement. Leaving for a few days just reset his smell lol
I don't think there's any scientific evidence that backs up that statement. I see it mentioned everywhere, but no evidence. Just that after a few minutes at most, the intensity lessens. I also tried looking it up a while ago and outside of that and anecdotes I don't think I've seen any evidence that actually supports bad smells disappearing entirely.
That and he has mold all over the place, especially in the kitchen. Mildew does a major number on a person, really masty stuff, so when he went to California his body started to feel better as well. He probably ate better as well. He can call a cleaning service and they can spend a few days cleaning stuff up and he can make content out of it if they're willing to be on camera. - Given how bad things are in his place, it might take them a few days.
He was right but that was Ken, a strange man that doesn't make any original content. He clings to Pewdiepie for views. Can't stand him. He just reacts to old recycled clips on yt. lol it's a trip.
I had a buddy who ended up creating a state like that for himself in his own house, he had some minor mental health issues around abandonment and hoarding as compensation. He met a woman at work, they started flirting, he was ashamed to bring her to his house and one evening she turned up there, and she nearly hurled at the smell and sight. She left but didn't end it with him, she just asked him to clean it up. So he did. He started by doing 1sq yard per day and making it spotless. As he gained momentum, his "cleaning radius" (his term, not mine, LOL) increased and finally, in about a month he was done. Then he has his carpets replaced, realized his "furniture" was mouldy and gross so he replaced everything, and had the whole house painted to get rid of the smell that had leached into the paint on the walls. In two months the place was spotless. It's possible, you just need to chunk of up the effort, make small steps, and have compounding success. Once you realize that you have 3 or 4 sq yards of perfectly clean house and nothing has fallen apart, then it becomes easier to do more.
Real shit lol If we one day reach integrated augmented reality tech that can just put a little quest HUD on the side of my vision, give me dailies, track water/calorie intake, have achievements, etc... just gamify everything and a bunch of nerds would have a solid chance of turning their life around.
@@skiffee1134 you can do this today. Download something like Google tasks, and you can make your own quests with a satisfying checkbox to click when completed
@@skiffee1134 the nerds would min/max, hulk out and conquer the universe out of boredom waiting for the next patch. it's all good until they start finding the game exploits and trying to crash everything.
The thing is, 90% of the stuff probably belonged to his mom, and he can't bring himself to get rid of it. Asmon tidying up his house probably means clearing a path from the front door to the kitchen to the bathroom to his room. That's it.
People should convince him to rent one of those storage places and get him to place everything that is not super mom related in there. And only keep the things from his mom he uses in the day to day.
@@JayBigDadyCy His mom was a hoarder, he's just lazy. And besides that, for good or for bad, the way the place looks possibly reminds him of his mother. All the memories, moments etc therefore making even harder for him to "clean" the house
I’m so glad the editor brought that up. He played cyberpunk said he enjoyed it. didn’t even make it halfway through the game and then dropped it like a rock and never went back.😂
I think you people need to figure out by now that he doesn't play what he wants, he plays what brings in views. Cyberpunk brought in views for a live stream of two because of all the Starfield drama. Why do you think he plays games like Diablo 4 or other shit ass pay to win games? Because it's mindless gameplay that's easy, and it's also easy to entairtain with. He's never playing a video game long term that isn't a gatcha garbage.
Asmon lived in a slightly cleaner space away from mold and rot and now its poison to his body. Still remember that one visit where his Father was threatening to throw everything out if he didn’t make a good enough pathway.
I lived in an apartment for ~5 years that had a small amount of black mold in the bathroom and it made me have cold-like symptoms for at least 2 weeks of every month. And I do live a clean life with air filters, no smoking, drinking or shitty food. HOW does he live like this without any noticable health decline? Probably skill issue
maybe he created a perfect balanced habitat where intelligent bacteria and mold evolved gets rid of the nasty stuff to not kill their supplier... :D and yes, skill issue and not skilled resistances and health regeneration... :>
He cant even smells his own odor. Which probably kinda kill his smell function, and in this point its probably save his life since his immune to it.. kinda lmao
I hope he follows through. A few years ago I was in a dark place and just my bedroom was very similar looking for a year. It was a bitch cleaning it up, but felt much better going back to normal, I cant imagine a whole house. For Asmond commiting to streaming it and going scorched earth throwing it all into a giant dumpster might help give him that extra push to comiting to doing it.
Yep! I only started following Asmon I wanna say just before he started playing through FF14. And I gotta say during that time, he's changed. He's been going out more and meeting people and I think that's helped. He did have that earlier misogynistic "muh forced diversity" edgelord phase, but he's been showing that side less and less.
I think it's perspective. He grew up in this house, this was his baseline, his normal. So until you actively go out and live in environments that are clean and tidy you just dont have the perspective for what it's like and what'd be good for you. You dont know what you dont know, even if people tell you that it'd be good you think: Well how good would it be really given the amount of effort? Like for me personally, I've grown up in depression homes and rooms to the point that clean environments feel *weird* to me, it feels hostile and clinical. But that's because my personal baseline is cluttered and messy just from what I grew up in. Not to mention the fact that I had to learn and teach myself a lot of cleaning and storage tips because they were just never taught to me. For people that have had dysfunctional upbringings [depressed or hoarding family] it's impossible to know what's right until you're literally shown it and even when you are, you have to learn what everyone else already knows because they were taught when young. It's a process.
I actually really hope for his sake he cleans. It would be massive for his mental health and psyche. He has the money to pay a professional to come in and just purge which is probably what he needs most. I hope he gets the help he needs cause I think it would be amazing for him in the best way!
My brother, not only do you need to clean, you need to spend some of those millions and remodel your place. A king needs his palace. I custom built my house in 2016 and care for it like a first born child.
There is something to the Japanese shinto belief that 'all things have an energy' and Chinese feng shui. If you walk into a space that is conducive to growth, it will benefit you. If your space is conducive to rot, well...
lets me honest, i too was a carer for my mum that died last year, i was worried about getting rid of all her old furniture and clutter, but did it afew months ago and its liberating knowing that most of the house is empty and clean and all i have to worry about is the kitchen bathroom and room i live in and those 3 rooms are manageable.
He needs to get a professional cleaning service to come through and he could get an airbnb for the time while they fix it up. Because I've never seen so much filth in my life, even when i was depressed along time ago I thought i let myself go but holy shit this is insane.
