Now he wants to spend money on a PC, several of which he has already had issues with before. The dude hates playing on PC, complains about it being uncomfortable, having to set up stuff (pigs don't mix with computers) and went out of his way to randomly shit on gamers who play on a desktop.
He’s not getting a new PC. He may still have some support but I think the era of “need lotsa munny to live, dood! -> wauw, look it what a fan got for me!!!” is dead. A single whale, or even a pod of them, would struggle to hit a four-figure drive goal for a new PC; Phil would need donations from the peanut gallery for that, and that’s what’s been harder to come by since the leaks.

He’s going to need to go about it the hard way if he wants one: curbing his spending and saving for it. The only alternatives are his parents (again) or making whatever sacrifices to Baphomet he makes to draw in new people with far more money than sense.

I think the main test for how much the leaks hurt him will be the next begathon. We've seen his paypigs stop tipping to even the glasses goal and Voldemort isn't pulling his weight anymore.
 
You are getting it wrong. He was ready to put some money aside, but the trolls ruined everything, as always. Nothing he could do. It's not raining, he can't have rainy day funds.
It's so telling that Dave's interpretation of "Rainy day fund" is using money on a rainy day to have a good time. He can't conceive of money being used for anything other than a dopamine hit. His horrible habits have been so deeply ingrained since childhood that it literally distorts his understanding of language.
 
I really don’t think we’ll have a good idea how much the leaks hurt him until after a week into October. I remember that towards the end of last month his streams got really slow, too. And as some of you have stated before, SSI and other monthly payments come in next week. Things could pick right back up again, though I hope they don’t.
 
My hypothesis for why Phil instantly goes on maximum overbegging whenever he gets slow streams/days is that he is desperately afraid that there'll ever come a time when he'll have multiple slow days back to back.

So he immediately overcompensates with his begging because he knows the power of momentum in a streamer's life. Just like he had the vest streak, if he has multiple slow days in a row it may become the norm. And he's insanely afraid of it happening.
At this point, it would actually be less stressful to just get a job.
 
New stream idea. Spam chat every 30-60 mins asking about behind the scenes tips. Do it for a month. See when Phil wants to (begrudgingly) admit the tip came in. We all know he sits on it to bait tips around break time, but if people in chat are spamming asking for it, he is either going to fly off the handle or add the tip way earlier than he wants. Whats the worst that happens, you get banned? Who tf cares.

Cant believe people in the chat dont do it already
 

Apparently Jimquisition believes microtransactions are ableist because autistic people are particularly susceptible to the gacha. Finally someone is standing up for Phil and people like him. He should be the poster boy for this like they did with dumb gamers for God of War. Just a Ted Talk with Phil rocking back and forth on the big screen making pulls and chuckling to himself.

We've been saying this since forever. It's better for him to get even just a part time job, at least to have a steady income. But he thinks it's black and white: either have a job or stream, and he knows that he can't get get a reputable job.

He needs to build up something stable, but he's such a wheelchair that he thinks relying on whales is stale. He's beginning to feel it and he hates it.

This would require Phil to actually admit he has a gambling problem, which he'll never do since you know...he did nothing wrong.
 
I think phil should just face reality and be a "old school" streamer and play old games that are simple, ones that he's used to playing and can reminisce on about the good old days of when people weren't looking into his bank accounts. And then he can amass an audience that would appreciate his silly little antics as he plays the old 2d mario gayme or some sanic
But he's worse at those than modern games. As much as he hates modern games don't forget how handholding they are. Simpler games are more brutal often, make it out break it. Either you can do it or know the little trick or you can't. The older the game is, the more he raged, and honestly that's appealing until you remember he avoids any difficulty like the plague and that's why so much of his playthroughs are snorefests now. It's an walking simulator and children's games. This is why he stopped calling himself the king of retro and stopped playing those games even when there are no new releases.

Who is the fat dude dresses as a lady? Some British mid-70ies comedy skit maybe?

Oh wait, that’s right... We live in clown world.

What a shitty take. Some people are genetically predisposed to alcoholism and some to morphinism. So do we also need to outlaw alcohol and opiate painkillers?

Personal fucking responsibility Jim. That’s the keyword. Unless you’re so much of an autist that you’re completely unable to exert self control, in which case society should probably lock you up in a special camp that has a high eh... Concentration of other autists.

Phil would fucking hate to get a jawb because of the lack of control. TAKING ORDERS?!? Having NO CONTROL over who comes in and what they say and do?!

Phil would fucking explode in narc rage.

And that’s even without considering his (missing) job history and hermit ways.

One of Phil’s biggest problems at this point that he’s spent over a decade as an autistic hermit and has no idea how people and society functions outside his weekly trips to the mall.

A coworker would ask him an innocent question like “where are you from bud?”

(As in: I noticed you have a weird dialect)

and Phil would respond with a 15 minute sermon including all the highlights from his YouTube career, “Everything hitting the shitter because YouTube are idiots in 2016”, da move to streaming and DETRACTORS threatening his family.

All while rocking back and forth autistically, and just leaving coworkers with the facial expression of someone who just witnessed a mass shooting.
 
I’d be willing to bet that Phil’s only donation to charity over the last twelve months was dropping a few pennies into the Salvation Army bucket that Santa Claus wields in front of Fred Meyer last Christmas.
We know he doesn't. It's not in his bank statements AND in his bankruptcy docs where it asks about charitable donations he put "0"

His lack of qualifications and skill aside, Phil will never get a job due to the fact that evil trolls will find out where he works within a day. Fear drives every decision he makes. If the day comes where he decides begging isn't enough anymore, he'll take advantage of government programs and handouts like thousands of other useless trash American citizens do.

Edit: someone here made a great point( sorry I forgot who) they said Phil is essentially rich trailer trash. Once his whales dry up, he'll fall into the right shaped hole & become literal government mooching trailer trash I reckon.

Agreed. The retro games he regularly brings up as favorites from his childhood, such as the NES Mega Man titles, he hasn’t played in years. The only Old School games he plays are 16-bit RPGs, which when you compare them to later generation games are baby’s toys in terms of mechanics complexity. The entirety of FF6’s final dungeon can be facetanked with any configuration of parties if the player has done sufficient grinding. Final Form Lavos can be crushed with a Crono/Marle/Ayla party by spamming Final Kick. There’s a Mega Man collection for the Switch which I understand is pixel-perfect; I’d put a paycheck on Phil not being able to reach Air Man without at least one game over.

I’d love to watch him grind in a game like Romancing Saga 3 only to have regular enemies curbstomp him because they scale.
