And I'm like, what do you mean why am I not streaming? You're f**king dying!... And so, this is the kind of guy he was, and I intend to honor that wish, and I'm not going to be gone forever. I'll be back soon, it's what he would want, and I think it's what's best.""Incredibly lucky that I was able to deal with all this by myself": Asmongold talks about his father's last days with himAsmongold has been away from streaming owing to his father's deteriorating health for months before his passing, with the streamer's last broadcast on Twitch being hosted 20 days ago on September 2, 2025.

Would help people with all kinds of stuff, etc. And I find myself tremendously lucky and fortunate that I was able to deal with all this by myself and nobody else had to see him in the state that he was in at the end, and you know, they can have the memories of him being a strong, smart, you know, nice, kind guy, and funny."Asmongold has stated that he will be taking approximately a week longer before returning to livestreaming, with him possibly returning earlier or later than that based on when he feels ready.In other news, political commentator Steven "Destiny" recently stated that his YouTube channel had been demonetized due to him supposedly not following the platform's creator responsibility guidelines.
