Phil’s face when hearing “gambling addict” is hilarious.

Multiple fake Derichs in Chat again

Paypigs has to pay $5 more to apologize for a previous $5 given to the pig, pathetic

Phil's blackphobic is transgressing into darker skin Asian phobic, or MAYBE he is just nervous with the in-game character talking about SCAMS

I'm a big fan of Derich going "I just saw someone with my name and picture say a thing that I did not say. but I am still not 100% sure on whether or not there's a fake here"

man is leaving it open that there's a real possibility he talked about jumping out of a window and has no memory of it.

Speaking of Phil and video games, I stumbled on this article written today, typical career management fare about figuring out what's actually needed to reach business goals as opposed to what seems necessary. One of the dots they connect is gaming, and the game they use to demonstrate their point is STREET FIGHTER:

Being a Scrub​

In the world of gaming, a scrub is someone who isn’t playing to win. This sounds a little bizarre — what competitor isn’t playing to win? I’ll let Street Fighter tournament player and game designer David Sirlin explain:​
​
"Scrub" is not a term I made up. It sounds like kind of a harsh term, but it's the one that was already in common usage in games to describe a certain type of player, and it made more sense to me to explain that rather than to coin a new term.​
​
A scrub is not just a bad player. Everyone needs time to learn a game and get to a point where they know what they're doing. The scrub mentality is to be so shackled by self-imposed handicaps as to never have any hope of being truly good at a game. You can practice forever, but if you can't get over these common hangups, in a sense you've lost before you even started. You've lost before you even picked which game to play. You aren't playing to win (emphasis added).​
​
A scrub would disagree with this though. They'd say they are trying very hard. The problem is they are only trying hard within a construct of fictitious rules that prevent them from ever truly competing.​

And I thought, yeah, that sounds about right, describes DSP to a tee. But then the next fucking pull quote (the underlined emphases are mine):

Scrubs are likely to label a wide variety of moves and tactics as "cheap." For example, performing a throw in fighting games is often called cheap. A throw is a move that grabs an opponent and damages them even while they're defending against all other kinds of attacks. Throws exist specifically to allow you to damage opponents who block and don't attack.​
​
As far as the game is concerned, throwing is an integral part of the design—it's meant to be there—yet scrubs construct their own set of principles that state they should be totally impervious to all attacks while blocking. Scrubs think of blocking as a kind of magic shield which will protect them indefinitely. Throwing violates the rules in their heads even though it doesn't violate any actual game rule (emphasis added).​
​
(…) Complaining that you don't want to do X in a game because "it doesn't take skill" is a common scrub complaint. The concept of "skill" is yet another excuse to add fictional rules and avoid making the best moves. Curiously, scrubs often talk about how they have skill whereas other players—very much including the ones who beat them flat out—do not have skill. This might be some sort of ego defense mechanism where people define "skill" as whatever subset of the game they're good at and then elevate that above actually trying to win.​
​
For example, in Street Fighter scrubs often cling to combos as a measure of skill. A combo is sequence of moves that are unblockable if the first move hits. Combos can be very elaborate and very difficult to pull off. A scrub might be very good at performing difficult combos, but not good at actually winning. They lost to someone with "no skill."​
​
One time I played a scrub who was pretty good at many aspects of Street Fighter, but he cried cheap as I beat him with "no skill moves" while he performed many difficult dragon punches. He cried cheap when I threw him 5 times in a row asking, "is that all you know how to do? throw?" I told him, "Play to win, not to do 'difficult moves.'" He would never reach the next level of play without shedding those extra rules in his head (emphasis mine).​

Pretty sure Sirlin has admitted in the past he was using DSP as a template here. It was obvious to anyone who read his book back then who he was talking about.

I ''would argue'' DSP playing investigation games be categorized as a hate crime, home terrorism or torture.

Leave his stupidity, addictions and toxic personality aside, he's criminally incompetent as an entertainer to a point he has his own unbearable category.

Which leads me to wonder if the repulsivness of his content ( auditory, visual and psychological ) acts as a un-intentionnal filter to only cater to the lowest of the low ( scat loving c00mers, the mentally impaired, blind assholes ), so that the pignosis sticks.

Anyway have fun boring to tears your audience with yet another asian detective game DSP, you truly are a master at your craft.

Of course Phil is wearing his wrestling shit. And of course he doesn't shake hands after the match.

And what a fucking surprise after Phil lost:

Sometimes I want to ask people I know, your typical average normies, to watch a stream of Phil (prestream included) and then ask them to give me their impressions.

The reason why is that I sometimes wonder whether his content really is that repulsive to people who don't know his history as a lolcow. Cuz let's be honest, we aren't really impartial here when it comes to liking Phil's content.

Has anyone here ever done that, I wonder? I'd imagine that most people would just find it very boring, but not necessarily the worst content ever.

It was said by @Mask_de_SMITH about the whole rant about people doing things that they shouldn't and I'm not going to tread over his old ground, but that whole fucking rant he did about it is so perfectly emblematic of why Phil is always going to be in a perpetual state of losing. Phil wants everything to stay the way it is, from now to the end of time. He doesn't want to think about how to change anything about his life, his career, or himself. The only thing we all really have absolute control over is ourselves, our goals, and our actions. As much of a meme as climbing Everest has become (You can pay to get guided up the mountain through the paths that have been blazed by people who did it before in worse gear without professionals who have climbed the damn thing 30 times in the last year) it's about picking a challenge and working until you achieve said challenge.

Remember bodybuilder Phil? That old mare he likes to drag out to show off sometimes? Remember his attempts to be the best at SF/MvC2 in the world? Remember all the times he promises to make changes to the stream like green screens? Fuck, remember KO gaming? All of these things are his history of trying to climb his own Everests and then going home after he trips a once or twice. That's the big root of most of his bitterness about everyone, about why he has so many issues, encapsulated into one simple rant. People who do things that are difficult, or rebuild after a disaster, or try to innovate or explore, he doesn't understand those people because those people are at his opposite end.

Mild PL: I was a hockey brat. I remember one day driving home from the rink and my dad asking me "Drave, do you want to play hockey?" and I didn't know why until he pointed out that for the past few weeks I'd been dogging it. He told me that there's no point in spending the money for me to play if I wasn't even going to try and he'd rather put the money towards a sport or activity I cared about. And one of the things that stuck with me was that there's nothing wrong with not wanting to do something, but the worst thing was wanting to do something, but not putting your best into it. Then, it's not worth the time, effort, money, or anything else. I never made the NHL, and I was never a great hockey player, but I put everything I could into it after that.

Phil's not a quitter, I think that would be an inaccurate statement. Phil's a never-starter. If it can't be done easily, he won't even bother to do it. I know that's something we are all aware of, but I think if you ever need the perfect example of this shit attitude, look no further than that one video.

I do think Phil wants to think he isn't a quitter or a never-starter, but he is both at the same time. He knows how bad his rage and wage quits are, it's why he needs some justification for doing so. He also really tries to avoid games he knows he look like a mongoloid at (oh hai divinity) and has ducked games he knows that will curbstomp him (oh hai ggs).
