David's Christmas Wish List 2023

**Gift Cards: Free Money for Me**

I love gift cards guys, it's essentially free money for a place or a website that I know I'm guaranteed to spend money on. Amazon is a huge one, I don't know why I didn't put Amazon on there but yeah, guys, Amazon gift cards are a huge one. Huge one. Next up, coffee and it literally says this on my list - coffee dot dot dot. You know, lots and lots of coffee. I run on coffee guys, um, I I can't imagine my life without it. I might die of a heart attack one day and if I do it's because of caffeine death by coffee and I'm okay with that, uh, okay but seriously all the dark jokes aside guys you just can't go wrong with coffee unless it's like light roast, I'm not I'm not a light roast guy these days. I like medium roast and dark roast.

**Clothing is Also on My List**

Clothing is also something that I enjoy getting, although I don't shop for clothes ever, um so this is the one time of year that I can actually count on getting clothes, thank you family, I love you guys. Finally, yeah did I get your attention? Your pledge on patreon this is the biggest gift I can ask for from you guys. Guys every single year a $5 pledge on patreon goes an incredibly long way in a world where YouTube Revenue especially for me can fluctuate literally like a roller coaster. You guys should see my stats one month it's like this next month it's like this following month, patreon for me unlike advertising Revenue has been incredibly consistent.

**Patreon is the Reason I Bought This House**

Patreon is quite literally the reason I bought this house. You guys have changed my life with patreon and um it's not just my way of saying give me money because guys believe me when I say I come through with giving you as much value as I possibly can each Vlog every single week, and of course by that each exclusive Vlog available to patrons only is usually on average an hour and a half long. Example last week's Vlog was an hour hour and 58 minutes long, and I have recorded several Vlogs that were well over 2 hours long.

**Value for My Patrons**

So you can count on just value, value, value for just $5 a month um, and it it just means the world to me. You know, I mean example again I'm about to start this week's patons only Vlog as soon as I finish recording this video, and I guarantee you this week's Vlog will be at least an hour long. I just love coming through for my patrons because you guys have quite literally changed my life.

**The Bread and Butter of My Campaign**

Patonly Vlogs have been the bread and butter not a big fan of that phrase it's just weird, bread and butter, I me, I love bread and butter but come on anyway guys seriously though. The uh patons only Vlogs have quite literally been the foundation of my patreon campaign just performing incredibly well month to month, and I'm so grateful for that.

**Your $5 Pledge is Life-Changing**

So $5 a month it goes a long way guys oh and by the way your $5 pledge not only guarantees you you know this month's Vlogs but you can also go back to 2015 all the way up to today. So yes this means for just $5 a month you have access to over 300 Vlogs, which means if you want to watch Vlog back in 2018, you can, 2021, you can, 2015, you can, 2023 obviously.

**The Link to My Wish List**

So there you go, David's Christmas wish list 2023 huge success again I have to make it clear this list could change for example I might find a video game that I want so I'll add it to the list or maybe I'll take something off the list. So the link is right below guys, that link will take you directly to my wish list on my personal website.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up everyone how you doing today my name is David Franco and welcome to David's Christmas wish list for 2023 yes this is an annual tradition of mine where I just sit down with you guys for a little while and beg for physical items please buy me this stuff it's the whole point of Christmas after all right is to give give me give me give me just kidding come back come back come back it's a joke it's a joke I'm just saying that because every year there are those few small-minded individuals who just see this on the surface and just immediately judged and saying hey hey hey whoa whoa whoa this guy is just asking for stuff because that's all he cares about his stuff he's too old for this stuff and if I say stuff one more time I'm going to turn into an orange that makes absolutely no sense but seriously guys this is an annual tradition of mine I don't care if I'm 92 years old not that I'm going to make it to 92 um but guys no matter how old I get this is a tradition that I will forever do uh because it's important to me especially because Christmas tradition is incredibly important to me it it's just something that will never ever die at least I hope it doesn't die uh because it just means a lot you know and um obviously it means even more to me that you guys tune in in every single year to watch my family's Christmas Memories and just share them with the world cuz I think that's incredible guys because not everyone is in the position that I am where they have a loving family uh there's a lot of broken families out there believe me I realize that um so I just want to take a second to say look I know how lucky I am I love my family my family loves me back we're not perfect there is no perfect family out there but man am I grateful to be in the family that I'm in um so Mom dad Christen I love you guys wow I didn't I didn't expect to go that deep that quickly uh anyway this is my wishes video for 2023 guys one quick update before I jump into the list this is kind of an awkward setup it's very crowded and messy behind me to the point where it's stressing me out when I look in OBS um but keep in mind I use this streaming setup for just that streaming I don't really do my creative Finance videos at the moment so typically I'm sitting like this and just raging at these kids in fortnite and drives me crazy uh so that's why I'm looking to decide anyway there you go there is my intro guys welcome to David's Christmas wishest for 2023 honestly the older I get the less I ask for because I just I don't I don't I don't really need a lot guys I mean I have my health I have my house I love my house I love my gaming room despite it being a mess right now but it's only because of the holidays and I love you guys I love I love streaming for you uh I mean yeah I could eventually use a new gaming PC cuz it definitely shows its age when playing games like war zone because of the processor but I'm not going to talk about that right now anyway guys the point is I'm just significantly grateful for everything and everyone I have in my life uh so what I'm going to talk about today are just physical objects physical objects don't Define me they don't Define you as a person it's just stuff eventually all of this stuff will end up in a landfill years upon years from now so just keep that in mind going into the holiday season it's not about getting stuff you know but with that said I'm not going to lie to you guys I really do look forward to Christmas morning uh because one of the best feelings about Christmas is unwrapping that gift or giving that gift to someone because gifts really do kind of make the holiday season that much more exciting uh so I'm so excited to go into Christmas 2023 and hey I'm just saying if you came into this wish list video expecting only a wish list and not and not some rambling idiot in a Mario hat hat well then you made a huge mistake because uh welcome I love to talk all right guys let's jump into it David's Christmas wish list for 2023 I do have my iPad right here guys I told you I wouldn't sell it at least not yet I just get it honestly guys I see myself having this iPad for at least a year or so okay so I'm a gamer obviously that's no secret guys I quite literally bought this house years ago because of my gaming room okay not only that reason but this was a significant reason when I saw the listing I'm like wait a minute this is perfect it's an absolutely perfect size for what I need to do so I love gaming gaming is incredibly incredibly important to me um and no matter how old I get I will forever be a gamer so this year I'm asking for a whopping three video games honestly there's not a lot I need to play lately I mean I keep plenty busy with games like War Zone in fortnite but now and then a big single player game does come along that catches my atttention one of those games is Spider-Man 2 for the PlayStation 5 now I get it David couldn't you have bought this yourself when it came out absolutely absolutely I mean there's nothing stopping me from buying all these games right now but my parents need ideas for my Christmas gifts because they don't know what to get me otherwise they would just get me gift cards and honestly I'm okay with gift cards but hey I mean shout out to my mom and dad for requesting a wish list every single year more specifically my mom cuz she's like David I need your wish list so Spider-Man 2 guys um I absolutely loved the first Spider-Man on PS5 um actually it was PlayStation 4 at the time wasn't it yeah because Miles Morales came out around the PlayStation 5 release dates and Miles Morales definitely felt like DLC guys I literally beat the game in like five hours I think it was uh but hey I mean it was still an incredible experience and honestly it's really hard to disappoint me at this point with Spider-Man 2 and I'm just saying if I get it I mean whether I get it for Christmas or I buy it for myself I will be streaming it live on Kick kick.com flash David Franco how's out for a plug all right moving on to the next game Sonic Superstars for the PlayStation 5 now honestly I would rather play this on the Xbox but I have yet to put a physical game into my series X and I'm going to try to hold off for as long as humanly possible because I love downloading games via Xbox game pass but I do have my PlayStation 5 up here in Xbox series s actually you can see the series s right there uh but the series S as you know doesn't take physical games so I figured why not ask for it for the PS5 um so Sonic Superstars guys honestly I don't have high hopes for this but I'm still very curious to play it uh because I'll be honest with you guys and while I think many of my fellow Gamers can agree with me there has not been a really good Sonic game in a long time the last time I really enjoyed a Sonic game was on Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast and even back then the uh overall controls were not that great The Voice voice acting was laughably terrible uh but I don't know there there's something about 3D Sonic games that don't really convert that well in my opinion uh but Sonic Superstars I believe goes back to the 2D style of gameplay um and guys I'm all for that I mean I absolutely loved Super Mario Brothers Wonder on the switch the best Mario game in years IM um so I'm hoping I get that same kind of vibe with Sonic superstars on the PS5 but again I don't have high expectations uh so I'll get what I can get but speaking of high expectations this next game I hope I fall in love with all over again Super Mario RPG for the switch now Super Mario RPG only Super Nintendo if I can recall correctly was my first RPG ever and I'll never forget my dad bought me that game at EB Games years ago and I recall him asking he was like David are you sure you want this it's a role playing game it's not your typical Mario game and I'm not going to lie I was a little doubtful in my mind but I was like yeah I mean it it looks great and guys I fell in love with it um what an incredible RPG and I'm I'm so grateful to have been born in the mid 80s cuz that gave me enough time to not only appreciate the NES but especially the Super NES and The Game Boy Color and all that stuff like I was part of the gaming rebirth era and I'm so so grateful for that uh but anyway Super Mario RPG on the switch from what I can tell is getting amazing reviews uh so I hope it continues to impress me as much as I hope it does if that makes sense so there you go three games Spider-Man 2 Sonic Superstars and Super Mario RPG okay moving on the tech and I got to speed this up a little bit cuz I'm heading out soon to go thrifting and hopefully shipped shopping and insta guard shopping and all that stuff because it's Monday for me and I want to start my Pig's only Vlog speaking of that stay tuned okay so moving on to electronics I'm only asking for two things as of right now that could change and by the way if you do on my updated Christmas wish list check out that link right below it takes you to my personal website because everything I'm saying today could very well change by tomorrow I don't know I could add items I could remove items who knows okay first item let me make this clear I don't expect to get this uh because it's like $500 The Meta Quest 3 uh this is definitely my most wanted item this year because I fell in love with meta Quest 2 sure I haven't touched it in a couple months probably a few months uh but meta Quest 3 really does look incredible it takes everything I love about the meta Quest 2 and just makes it even better um you get higher resolution displays actual pancake lenses which honestly the lenses on the Quest 2 are I don't know it's like one of the main reasons why I don't want to play My Quest 2 that much because it's just blurry you know that was my allit it it's just a very blurry image at times but with the pancake lens it's it's much more refined um and I'm looking forward to integrating AR with VR because right now the pass through on meta Quest 2 is in black and white and it doesn't look that great but it looks so much better on meta Quest 3 so I'm just throwing it out there meta Quest 3 is definitely my Most Wanted item this year I don't expect to get it and if I don't get it then I'll probably buy it for myself early next year okay this next one I really want yeah this is something I could literally buy myself today but again my parents need ideas and I asked for this next year or yeah future David I asked for this last year I never got it trust me I cried myself to sleep a couple nights um and then honestly I just kind of forgot about it but the more action I get out back with all these cats coming in and out of my house like every single day the more I want one a Google Nest cam outdoor wired if possible um guys I'm a huge Nest guy I used to be all about the you know Amazon Echo platform with Alexa and all that stuff but I love nest I mean it just makes sense I'm all about Google I'm all about YouTube you know I mean except for Android of course but I do have dual Nest thermostats in my house one upstairs and one downstairs I have a nest video doorbell I love that thing I have a nest Hub upstairs in my bedroom a nest hub downstairs in my kitchen I just love nest it's just so nice how everything integrates into one app my Nest app like I I love checking my doorbell I love checking my thermostats Guys these are devices I use every single day honestly I can't imagine my daily routine without my Nest Hub or without my Nest doorbell or my Nest Thermostat or my Nest cameras and like guys I'm a nest guy I love nest uh so the more cameras I can get the better and this one would be going on my uh backyard deck that way I can keep track of all the animals because I have cats coming by every single day uh I have skunks well a skunk I have a huge raccoon that likes to visit now and then and it would be nice to keep an eye on the outdoor life that comes by I I keep checking to make sure my camera's not going out of focus cuz sometimes it prefers the tree over this face and honestly I don't blame it and that's it for electronics so moving on to house stuff number one ninja thirsty okay so think a curi coffee maker but for making sodas and fizzy type drinks or whatever you want to call them carbonated drinks now it's no secret I did proudly quit soda a couple years ago maybe three years ago at this point I have not had an ounce of Mountain Dew or Pepsi guys I used to be obsessed with uh drinking soda from stores and guys that's not going to change I don't see myself ever having a Mountain Dew or Pepsi or Coke anything like that ever again until I die I said it as if there's soda in heaven if there is a heaven I don't know that's a whole other topic for a whole other day um but I I just proudly quit drinking soda however if it means making this stuff myself at home then uh why not so I'm trying to make the audio a little better for you guys um so ninja thirsty actually looks quite nice and I saw the pods in Target the other night I think one pod gets you like 15 to 20 drinks which is crazy I mean so I can just picture myself making a huge custom picture full of my favorite flavors and I think that would be great and guys let's face it it's so much cheaper than spending like what is it now $2 on a 20 oz bottle of soda so I I don't I don't even know how much soda goes for it's been that long since I bought one so ninja thirsty I'm just throwing it out there that would be great stay focused Sony come on it's not that hard it's 2023 this is a face that's not a face it's not that hard and my second but not least that was great English window curtains I asked for them last year I think I asked for them the year before I'm asking for them again this year because I never got them uh window curtains is like one of those things I don't really want to pay for myself but if I have to I I might I might just suck it up one day and buy them guys you know David grow up you're an adult buy your own curtains seriously but it would be nice if I had him under the Christmas tree just saying all right toys gadgets and accessories that's it's quite the large category title considering I only have one thing I'm about to say uh the Xbox 360 mega showcase uh building set it's like Mega Bloks I know I know I'm acting like I'm a 12-year-old kid but guys I I I still love toys I love little Collectibles and stuff guys I have over 100 amiibo behind that tree you can see a little bit of them right there I love toys I I love collecting and if I could build an Xbox 360 Mega Blok set and put it behind me for example right back there where it says Airy uh then I think that would be great and guys the Xbox 360 will forever be a favorite console of mine it was it was just way ahead of its time in terms of Xbox live in my opinion it was just so so good and finally last but not least let's talk about miscellaneous these are just random things that I can think of that I could put on my list but things I could definitely use number one gift cards for the Nintendo ehop ruers sheets Xbox PlayStation whatever you know I love gift cards guys it's essentially free money for a place or a website that I know I'm guaranteed to spend money on Anyway Amazon for example I mean I don't know why I didn't put Amazon on there but yeah guys Amazon gift cards is a huge one huge one next up coffee and it literally says this on my list coffee dot dot dot you know lots and lots of coffee I run on coffee guys um I I can't imagine my life without it I might die of a heart attack one day and if I do it's because of caffeine death by coffee and I'm okay with that uh okay but seriously all the dark Jokes Aside guys you just can't go wrong with coffee unless it's like light roast I'm not I'm not a light roast guy these days I like medium roast and dark roast clothing hoodies I'm pretty sure my sister bought me this cuz God knows I don't buy myself my own clothes uh anyway hoodies jeans socks Etc maybe a thong I don't wear thongs okay but seriously guys uh I I I like clothes I don't shop for clothes ever um so this is the one time of year that I can actually count on getting clothes thank you family I love you guys and finally yeah did I get your attention your Pledge on patreon this is the biggest gift I can ask for from you guys guys every single year a $5 Pledge on patreon goes an incredibly long way in a world
