I’ve always found something oddly comforting about post-apocalyptic ASMR. The feeling that even in the worst of times, we can still find that sense of normalcy and comfort.

The acting in this dude holy shiiiiiiiiiit he's good at this, we need a feature film

I've always thought winter apocalypses have been underexplored in fiction. What if, in a delicious stroke of irony, the Earth suddenly plunged into an Ice Age, instead of burning up? What stories could you tell when the War Boys ride snowmobiles instead of cars?

Having immigrated from the US to Taiwan, one feeling I actually miss is being warm in a warm place when it's very cold. I don't miss being cold, like, at all. I'd be happy to never feel cold again in my life. But when it's very cold outside, and you're inside with a fire and a hot drink and warm soft clothes or a blanket, that's a feeling you just can't replicate when 15°C is the absolute coldest it ever gets.

Let me preface this by saying I do not mean to come off as preachy/pedantic. Rather than to say you immigrated from the US to Taiwan, the correct word there would be emigrated. That is, of course, assuming I understood your comment correctly and you now live in Taiwan. If you, in fact, immigrated from Taiwan to the US then all you'd need to do is swap the to and from in your first line. Hope this is helpful, please don't hesitate to let me know if this was obnoxious

i always enjoy an apocalypse themed merchant rp and you did great! this is the first video of yours I've seen and ill be watching more

I’ve watched this way too many time to have no idea what happens but my soul still loves it 😵‍💫🥱

Amazing content as always. Much love to you Matt, wishing you a very blessed 2022☺️

Happy New Year Matt, great video, looking forward to your work in 2022! Take care

These types of videos, like the alchemist one, are my favorite! Keep it up!

As usual with your creations - original idea for plot and great execution, really made it belivable that we are in the icy wastelands, but at the same time the experience was soft spoken enough to induce sleep.

So great to see more from you! Can't wait for the metro vibes!

Love this Matt! As always fantastic work. Thank you so very much. 🙏💜

this was really good, cant believe you made it up as you filmed 🦔❄

Came back to this a second time and the worldbuilding still rocks.

Dude this is awesome. It makes me feel like I'm in some kind of post apocalyptic videogame like fallout or something. Thanks for helping me sleep every night for about over a full year now brother. You know your craft 👌🏼

This is a brilliant concept and delivery Matt, great job on it! so atmospheric and your voice is as relaxing as ever. I live on the coast so the sound of howling wind is strangely comforting to me (when safely tucked up indoors)

Just moved to a pretty cold place at almost the coldest time of the year. I really appreciate the feeling that I have someone to accompany me at this frigid time. Perfect as usual 👌

Awesome writing I really liked this was super relaxing speaking too. I love these kind of videos that really take you away to another world.

this one is AWESOME

Ive been subbed for a few years now and id say he is one of the best amsrtist out here

The lore! THE LORE! Please I genuinely need to understand the lore behind this, I'm a worldbuilder it's what I do!

Great video Matt! You never disappoint after 3 years of subscribing. :)

i feel like this'll be a video i watch 100s of times over already

A citrus fruit, what in the world!!! I'll take it! Your ability to make stuff up on the fly with such calm and credibility is amazing.

Need a book written in this fantasy world now

Another masterpiece but hey who’s surprised it’s Articulate Design This is the standard for Matt. Well done my friend you’ve done it again.

Ur best acting ever Matt so so impressed I been stuck on sugar dealer with the chocolate discs not bars n library banana bread and suits version one n two but this , this is Oscar worthy my friend!

I love this roleplay it's amazing

Please do a part 2!! This was fantastic

Man I wish I had a fifth of your talent sir. I had to download a copy of this one. I thought it was going to be a Fallout related roleplay, but even though it isn’t I’m not at all disappointed. Thank you for this performance.

Love the unlit cigarillo addition, really good touch

I love this it's fantastic either expand on this or do it more because it's fantastic

Really cool. Realistic asmr this guy deserve more

I swear tonight will be the night that I stay awake past the description of the different water grades. I'm genuinely interested in the video, but the relaxation is so next level I pass out every time LOL

I'm shivering already

Raymond! Good to hear from this story again.

Needed this, another great video right before I gts

So relaxing.. loved the fire ! 🔥

This is very similar to a visualization i do to fall asleep at night. There's something about a warm spot in the middle of a cold wasteland that is infinitely cozy.

How you make different qualities of water sound so satisfying I will have no idea. Unless of course you make another one of these apocalypse merchant videos. Which would be awesome
