Iranian viewer sent me THIS..

Hey everyone, a strike hit very close to our building and I don't know how long I'll be able to stay online. I was already working on another video, but compared to this one, it didn't feel important anymore. So, I wanted Wait, wait a minute. Was that in was that it another video, but compared to this one, it didn't feel important anymore. So, I wanted to record this as fast as possible before things possibly get worse or before I'm not able to upload at all. I don't pick it up, but sometimes you guys might hear some explosions in the background or some bullets flying by trying to Oh my god. Holy [ __ ] You guys might hear some explosions in the background. I'm in Iran. Jesus. Hit the targets. So, I'm sorry if that distracts you all from the video. Over the past three I'm getting bombed. Sorry if it distract sorry about the interruption. For days the situation here has escalated a lot. Attacks have became much more frequent and much more aggressive. The capital of Iran Tehran has 22 districts and just overnight around 20 of them have been experiencing strikes every couple of hours. And unfortunately one Holy [ __ ] that's a lot. God damn. One of those strikes hit very close to our building. All of our windows were completely shattered and I got injured. It's not severe, but my leg is hurt badly enough that I probably crack the [ __ ] wall. Holy [ __ ] Give me a second. I got to use the bathroom. Just making a video. What a badass. Yeah, bro. I can't believe he's able to make this. Oh my god. Holy. All right, I'm back. Sorry about that. We good. Anyway, excuse me. Won't be able to walk properly for about two weeks. But it's not just physical injury. The shock from that blast has also affected me in a way I did not expect. When I try to walk normally, after a few steps, my vision starts spinning and I lose my balance. It's a very strange feeling. And honestly, I think my body and mind are still processing what happened. Since I hate to say this, but that happened to me after I hit my head on the desk in the mage tower. It did. Recording this, power has already gone out multiple times. After each strike, electricity cuts out. And sometimes it comes back quickly, but other times it can take hours. Anywhere from a few minutes to even 4 hours. And right now it feels like it's only a matter of time before either the power goes out completely or the internet shuts down entirely. Some internet infrastructure has been affected, either damaged or overwhelmed. When one system goes down, all traffic gets redirected somewhere else and that just creates more pressure on what's left. So everything becomes slower, more unstable and more likely to fail. Because of everything, prices have also gone up a lot. People who fixed windows are now charging four to eight times more than normal because everyone that's called supply and demand. Yeah. One needs repair at the same time. And in a situation like this, some people take advantage of that. There are also people online scamming others. They give you a test connection. you see that it works, but once you pay these disappear and since a lot of these services aren't officially allowed, people can't even report it without putting themselves at risk. Even banks currently have started limiting physical cash withdrawals. So, most payments now have to be done digitally, which also comes with extra fees and taxes. Everything just became harder, even basic things. I don't know how things will look in the next few days, but I wanted to share this while I still can. If I go quiet for a bit, just know it's not by choice. And that's Oh my god, bro. I actually had a friend of mine yesterday tell me about like uh he was talking to his dad in Iran and uh hasn't heard from his dad in like uh you know, I'm pretty sure like a month at this point. Scary, man. It's really [ __ ] scary. Legit. Be right back. Even with the D noiseis, you can hear the engine explosions. That's how loud it is. Oh my god. This is just going on. Um, well, that just happened. [ __ ] Happened. I I don't know if my microphone picked it up. If it did, that was loud. Okay. Nomad, if you're watching, here's a live. Why does this feel so staged? It feels staged because you're not used like because you live in a western country where this type of environment is unthinkable to you, but other people deal with this on a regular basis every single day. Experience something while I'm recording. And as if you're watching. Yeah. Yeah. That that was that was insane. In my last video, I saw a lot of people, especially from Asangold's chat, asking why don't you talk about the sanctions. So, in this video, I will what sanctions and restrictions actually look like in daily life. Because this is not something you can explain in one sentence to tell you the scale of sanctions inside my country. I will tell you a number that one website has estimated. There might be more since the website hasn't been updated since 2020. But the index alone tracks over 12,000 sanctions recorded connected to Iran. Nobody is able to talk about all of this in one video. And I have talked about the most important ones. I would say because of the restrictions, local alternatives are created. For example, a local search engine project like Google but only for Iran called Zarabin reportedly costing over 2 trillion realale to develop which is roughly around that's probably what $6. I mean that's not that much right? A million dollar today. Oh okay. That is all right. It's not Zimbabwe. It's a million dollars. That's a lot. significantly more at the time it was built years ago that I have been told it is estimated around $67 million. But here's the part where people find it surprising. If you look for something inside of this local search engine and if it cannot find what you're searching for, it may still ask you to look it up in a global search engine like Google, which shows the gap between building something and actually replacing global system. Another frequent question is do you have companies like Amazon or Global Brands? The reality is if a company or brand does not start its operation locally, access to that company or brand becomes extremely limited or indirect. So let me give you so there's no like Taco Bell example from each category that you guys might know. Let's start with tech services. Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, MSI, Asus, Sony, Meta, Tesla, Razer and etc. The services over here of that brand does not exist. They do however get imported here by the seller to be sold for much higher price, but it does not offer any services. Moving on to the gaming platforms. Let's start off with the most frequent inside of our country, PlayStation, which many can't even log in to their accounts since the last few years ago. And then Xbox, Blizzard, Epic Game, Steam, Riot Games, etc. do not offer services inside of Iran. Again, you are able to buy the games with gift cards, but if something happens to your account, like account hack or ban for using a VPN, that is still on you. Since where we live, they do not give any services. Even if you manage to get the product, supports and services may still not exist at all. So if something breaks, you're on your own. You're playing on hardcore mode. What I am about to tell you might sound insane, but it is real. As you guys may know, in some online games, player can earn in-game currency and oh no. Oh no, no, no. Don't tell me services, especially in a game where we all know Asmin Gold from. At certain times, like the start of the new games update, some players can make around $1,000 in Iran in a short period by boosting or selling in-game resources. Like, this is exactly what was happening in TBC. Do you remember all of those guys that all of those death knights sitting outside of Botanica and I messaged them and they're all Spanish? And it's this is South American, right? Yeah. They're from Venezuela at the time. Yeah. They're all sitting there old. Later in the cycle, that drops to around $100 to $500. For example, in a game, 1,000 gold is 60,000 real. Now, a,000 gold is 60,000. That's just man, that's bad. Jesus. Compare that to real life. That amount can be equal to or higher than what many average workers make. Think about that. A virtual economy inside a game can sometimes feel stronger than real world income. And people are doing this by playing 8 to 9 hours a day. But a normal worker works around 12 to 14 hours a day. That is not a normal worker in Iran works 12 to Holy Normal. And that is just absurd. As you guys already know, many global things do not exist in our country. Because of that, there is no copyright. For example, let me show you this. Many of you who are watching currently already know about World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft is from Blizzards and you need to pay a subscription in order for you to play. This is a website from our country. And over here, you might see some stuff in the background that you already know what it is. This is World of Warcraft. And the thing is, this game only works for people inside of Iran. And I have downloaded this game. No, I don't play World of Warcraft. I play WoW Zone. Man, that sucks. To show you how. As you can see right here, I know you cannot read it, but this is how you log the website. You make a username and password. I wonder if I could play this. If I would be able to play the Iranian WoW zone. You download the game, you extract it, and it says woow.exe, and you open this. As you can see, man, dude, I'd be afraid to even make an account. This is normal World of Warcraft pretty much. And you just log in with the password and username you created inside the website. And boom, you log in, connected successfully, and I am in. And over here you only see people from Iran and nobody else because the server is only set to people who live inside of Iran. And also you are able to sell your currency when you farm it for much cheaper price though. This is not just for World of Warcraft but every single game that comes out. Even Crimson Desert is inside of our Crimson Desert. It's it's Red Desert. It's just Crimson Desert. The same guy. However, I do not recommend people to do this because it might destroy your computer with viruses because the crack versions you are able to download over here might not be very good for your computer, but many people do it because they cannot afford the real game. And so you and you saw on the side here, look at this on the side. It's got Windows and there's a 10 next to it. So it's Windows 10, Winar, Epic Games Launcher, Steam. Oh man, the real game. I also wanted to thank everyone who supported me and donated and helped me out with the channel. We raised around $7,000, but I only received uh the first 5,000 and taxes of that 5,000 was about 17%. So, we lost around 800 to 1,000. That's pretty good. Which is a lot. When I heard that from my girl, I almost had a stroke. $2,800 of that money went to the repairs of the house and $200 extra of that went for buying rice and stuff like that for the people who are homeless and have been struck down or pretty much been homeless. So, I wanted to thank you guys for the love and support. The rest you guys for a future home that me and my girl want to buy. We're trying to save quite a bit of money to buy a house. You guys should already know houses are expensive. So, it will be a cool journey to Some things are the same over there, huh? To vlog everything if possible and um move forward and you guys can see the entire life turn around. So hopefully I can see you guys later in the future videos. See you guys in the next video. Damn. Godamn, bro. like having to dude this like Oh, guys, I'll be right back. Give me a minute. I I got to just just a sec here. Let me link y'all the video. Yeah, you can support him. I mean, Ace, I I' I've watched his other videos. Um Holy [ __ ] man. Why does every Asan viewer have a girlfriend? I don't know how I don't know how that happened, bro. Like, it's just Yeah, it's [ __ ] up as well. Yeah, and that was with it turned down, too. Can you imagine? That'd be so hard to sleep. Holy [ __ ] man. Love to see him get out of there. I think a lot of people would feel that way. Make sure to give him a like and a sub if you haven't already. I mean, I I really appreciate the guy making videos, and hopefully he can stay as safe as possible. This was 2 days ago, so I hope he's doing okay. Yeah, I really do.
