Asmongold is probably the biggest MMORPG streamer on Twitch and embodies almost every cliché of the typical gaming nerd. In a stream, he revealed his secret tip to get rid of guests and to focus on the one true game: WoW.
How did this statement come about? In a stream on April 9, Asmongold took a break from Path of Exile after about 8 hours, which he is probably using to pass the time until the release of Diablo 4. During this break, Asmongold reacted to a video by YouTuber Ludwig Ahgren.
What was the video about? The video by Ludwig was actually about the critical state of e-sports in the USA. The YouTuber had just bought his own Valorant team, which so far has not proven to be a worthwhile investment:
In this video, Ludwig refers to this team and shows a short clip from his previous announcement video. However, for a moment, the viewer doesn’t see the actually interesting moment but rather the image of a room in the YouTuber’s house, which Asmongold immediately fixates on.
If you are like Asmongold and need a Diablo alternative for the time until the release, we have 5 suitable candidates here:
Asmongold against his natural enemy: Light
What does Asmongold have to say about Ludwig’s house? The streamer, who proudly accepted an award from his cluttered room and claimed to have showered with bugs in the bathtub, is appalled at the sight of a sleeping space in Ludwig’s house: “How can one live like this?”
What bothers him about the room? Asmongold lives up to his reputation as the light-shy super nerd of Twitch, as what disturbs him is indeed the lighting of the room: There’s a light source directly above the bed!
Asmongold is quite upset and apparently cannot understand why someone would want natural light in their sleeping area. Moreover, everything is white, and one should definitely avoid having white things in bed, according to the streamer.
Bro, how can you live like this? I mean, what if the light… wouldn’t you wake up? That would be so damn annoying!
For Asmongold, it’s clear: such a room is only suitable for scaring off guests.
Streamer reveals how he gets rid of guests
What is this strategy? A viewer eventually informs Asmongold that it is not Ludwig’s bed, but merely the guest couch. That makes everything clear to the streamer: in that case, it’s actually quite clever.
Asmongold suspects a sinister strategy behind the placement of the sofa that he claims to have used himself:
I used to do that too. I took down the damn curtains when people stayed over at my place, so the light would wake them up, and they would damn well leave when I got up.
Then I would get up and play WoW, and they wouldn’t annoy me.
You can watch Asmongold’s entire reaction in this clip:
How is this received? Some viewers are impressed and say they want to apply this useful tip directly or share their own strategies. Others tease Asmongold for his aversion to the color white in the bedroom: he probably just can’t remember the original color of his sheets.
The thing about the rooms is a kind of running gag among streamers: because those who are on air all day and survive on fast food sometimes just can’t get around to cleaning up. Twitch colleague Félix “xQc” Lengyel would probably not be accused of having it just too bright at his place:
