What other stunts has the streamer done?

The streamer's penchant for stunts was seen in July 2022, when he decided to light a Pikachu-themed firecracker inside his own bedroom. This recklessness led to the fire department being called upon. In fact, he tried the same stunt again this year, but with the supervision of others.

In another incident, the streamer impulsively leaped headfirst toward his computer, crashing his entire setup and abruptly ending his stream. The latest instance of this occurred recently when he reached the remarkable milestone of 18 million subscribers on YouTube.
