Kat's not fucking Phil. They sleep on separate rooms. She's not being his housemaid, which he desperately craves. She's just there, probably doesn't even contribute to bills at all, keeps her money and has almost nothing to do with Phil. Phil's either a supreme cuck or a gay man happy with his beard arrangement. Most average guys who can opt to have a girlfriend at all can aim much, much higher than a benzo'd out gold digger who won't even fuck you. Even if they're completely cynical and only interested in transactional relationships, you can buy four hours of a hooker's time at around 120 bucks a month, and you're gonna be getting alright sex for much less money than Phil's giving Kat.
Just riding out the denthead whales in the wakhando on a slow burn to complete obscurity, no children, no trips, and nothing special, since that would cut into the gacha fund. Without plans, love, amazing sex, a great lifestyle, or even shared hobbies to keep them together, they're just roommates. It'll last until Kat gets tired. God knows Phil's too much of a fucking pussy to kick the gold digger to the curb and admit his mistake, and he's already put a ring on it. It's amusing as hell that Phil lives in a house riddled with filth, a dusty office, cat shit stacked from floor to ceiling in the garage in jumbo garbage bags until they can find time to go to the dump, and part-time worker Kat, his loving wife, can't even find the time or the will to clean up a little bit when Phil's making all the money and paying all the bills. But of course, Phil can't admit this, and Kat's grift has already succeeded. She can do whatever she likes now and Phil can only suck it up.
@SauceRyuKen

Fantastic writeup. Yeah Phil has no sex drive and is fine with sleeping in a separate bed from his wife. He just wants a maid/mommy figure to clean and do chores for him. There are thousands of women in Slavic shitholes who would kill to be in a phony relationship with a man making 10k a month who won't require any sex and just wants their shit cleaned up. He could have his condo sparklingly clean and home cooked meals every day. You don't even have to be smart to find services that will help you with the mail order bride shit social re'tards do it all the time. I worked for a bumbling idiot of a man who had an Asian mail order bride it doesn't require a high IQ to figure it out.
 
autism ahead.

For further context here, I entered the sphere when the WWE shit just started happening. Made an account on champs, and to even get to the level (or league, I forget now), to be able to join a faction, I had to drop like $20. Rate me dumb/autistic, but I did it to try to get info for the farms, and it was funny to me.

At that time, DSP was a top member (I can't remember if he was a co-leader/enforcer/officer etc) of Uselessness, a real top tier faction. To say that DSP's current faction is a "guild of fellow whales" is a slap in the face to the likes of Uselessness.

After being outed, he got blacklisted from the real top tier whale factions and resorted to pretty good factions where he could be the head honcho. It was in one of these factions that I was able to join, get into the discord, and get video of his Discord ID matching the Id in mod leaks prior. This was a fun time. Our beloved, sometimes misunderstood, Nigel was outing his factions as soon as we could find them. Everyone was dropping DSP as fast as they could. He finally found his home in Sons of Smackdown because they don't care. For reasons that are his own, that I don't know and won't speculate on, Nige hasn't put their info out.
- DSP isn't a whale amongst whales where he is at. He is the king whale in an above average faction, and will never be back in the top 10-factions because he is known in the champs community for who he is.

Edit- Mods if this should be moved to the champs thread I apologize.
Definitely informative, thx. I just assumed he'd be among his own, but maybe it's even better for him to be a big fish in a little scumpond. I think they know who he is from screenshots I've seen, but yea they haven't been doxxed yet. They probably love having Mr Moneybags around and are ok with the risk.

Feel free to move as many of my posts to WWE thread as well, I sperged out a bit when I saw he had already gotten so many new ones from the event and maxed them. Some people take months to max their best superstars from what I've seen so that is fucking mind blowing.
 
The Pig was asked yesterday if he would quit streaming for $1.5 million.

He said no, taxes take a third and he needs that consistent income. Which is true, given his absolutely crippling addictions. If Philliam got $1 million tax free he would be back to begging 6 days a week within 24 months.
So some points I'd like to add too,

1) In the UK lottery wins are not taxable income since it is classified as a gift and not work earnings

2) 1 mil can easily be saved up, unless Phil actually pays off his bills and goes cold turkey from the Mobile Fast Food and Gacha then it will be a grind to even try and double..

3) 1 mil would be nice for a man where he is, he doesn't need to move house or anything, at least get a job, downplay his streams and make sure a side hustle is a permanent solution to a probable temporary problem

3) But then again spending 100k alone seems like a good idea, the rush, the extreme highs of spend to win would be in heaven for him, and 100k would last at least a month to a low ball offer of 2 weeks, unless his bank viciously slapped him with a warning to not spend so much..

4 and last point) Giving his lackluster knowledge of investment, he would find it hard pressed to gain any more than he has earned, since burning bridges with his past and especially sponsor experience has all but made himself into a hermit
 
There has been some regulation though, right? I am under the impression that after many suits, gatcha games have to publish the actual winning odds of pulls (I also 100% believe these can be/are fabricated). But at the same time, if some idiot is willing to spend $1000 hoping he gets the new character to flex, some douche bags running a mobile game software company have the same right to make that profit.

I agree with everything else you say though. I never thought about how much casinos have to pay in taxes, while these mobile game corps can write it as profit.
You're not wrong. Pretty much any gacha game is required to have the rates on full display either right in your face or with a big menu that lists literally every single item you can win. Honestly I'm sure the rates of characters aren't what's sucking Phils money away. No gacha game has character pulls that are that fucked up where it takes 1000 dollars and most of them have a "spend this much and just pick what you want if you keep losing" "pity" system. Whats probably fucking Phil over is that the really shitty predatory games like WWE just push out an assload of bundles you can buy. 99.99 to get all these items to recover stamina and give you an edge in point rankings! etc etc. Daily offers, 10 different kinds of currencies, other garbage you can spend a week farming or just buy instantly. That's how these games get retards like Phil.

The second it got out that he had that much money someone would find a way to scam it out of him. He'd come home with magic beans and brag to Khet about the super special, CUSTOM, deal the dude made just for him, not like those other suckers.

The funniest part about Phil being a scammer, is that he falls hard for so many scams and marketing schemes himself. Always a bigger pig.
 
At this rate the hat will be the $50 ''reward'' soon.
At this rate he'll start with a hat and the reward will be taking it off.
You WOULD think after going bankrupt and getting bank leaked, he would stop or slow down. He has serious problems.

I agree btw.👈
The problem is that he is essentially stuck in a negative feedback loop;
The more dire and miserable reality becomes for him,the harder he tries to escape it be isolating himself and indulging the in the few things that give him joy in life (WWE and booze).

Phil needs an outright intervention,but the problem is that he really has no friends and his relatives hardly care about him.
 
I still think it's comparable to gambling. In the end, true casino addicts never leave with more money than they came in with; the house always wins by design. Spending money for RNG rolls on anything - currency or sweatyman.jpgs - is exploitation all the same.

It's comparable to gambling and exploitation. But not all the same. Gambling addicts hang their (ultimately failed) hopes on the possibility of winning it all back and much more. Most hardcore gambling addicts won't get so far and so bad into it unless they had moment(s) they turned down where they were up much more than they were ever down before it goes back into the red again. That rinse and repeat cycle leading into bigger and bigger bets leads into worse and worse rock bottoms.

There is none of that level of mind fuckery real gambling addicts delude themselves with in WWE champions lol. They know there's no "recouping" and being up. It doesn't even have the pretexts that it's going to be "okay" for the addiction to keep going. As a former gambling addict, I can't wrap my head around this shit.

Not seeing anything like that in the videos of people pulling, also there's people trying to sort out pull rates and bitching about it in the reddits and discords. Not demanding you hunt it down for me, and we don't need to argue and clutter up the thread anymore than my retar'dation already has, but if you happen to find any examples of that kind of disclosure I'd really be interested in seeing it.

The problem is Phil is a scumbag who alienated anyone & everyone. Would you try & give an intervention for Hitler?

The only victim here will be Kat, after she finds out the Pig spent all the money he had on a mobile game, has nothing in the bank & paid off nothing. She'll be back to square one.

They both pull from the "sunken costs" fallacy. Instead of trying to recoup lost money, the gacha addict rolls a 2nd, 3rd, or nth time in hopes of getting whatever item they want. If the first 3 crates don't have the item, they've just wasted x amount of dollars, but if the 4th one has it, then it wasn't all for nothing (in their mind at least). It's the same underlying mindfuck mechanism, but you might be able to argue that the degree of severity in terms of financial cost is higher to a "casual" gambling addict when compared to a "casual" gacha addict. I think both are comparable at the extremes though, see: DownFromTheRafters.

I think she cared at the beginning, and I think he opened up to her in their online conversations about his "problem" because he said she made him promise to quit before she moved in. If that's true and not some pig-lie, that makes this all a lot more sad, and it shows he knows he has a problem and viewed Kat as someone he could talk to and who could help. But, of course, the pigroach prevails and he just went right back to it and completely memoryholed his come-to-jesus, heartfelt, agreement with her about his addiction and went back for the sweaty man jpeg dopamine. Like with most addictions, people try to help but keep getting burnt by broken promises, theft, etc. I'm sure Khet is at this point cause there is absolutely no way she doesn't notice a ~100k habit. They have certainly had to dip into her paycheck before cause he's had negative and very low balances for days at a time according to the leaks.
On top of that, let's flesh out what went down with his mom. I know we like to joke about him taking the $4k and making his '10 year promise' and then completely memory holing all that, but consider the timeline leading up to it when it comes to his mobile gaming addiction.

As you point out, he may have tried to quit the mobile gaming when Kat arrived. By the time they were getting married, he had to order wifi on the plane so that 'they' could play mobile games that he had previously indicated he had quit, suggesting he was already relapsed. He then got married (on his parents' dime) while he was there and made the $4k promise, taking the cash in lieu of his parents covering the cost of a honeymoon. He claimed this was for a tax payment. He then declared bankruptcy a few months later.

That $4k seemed to have done nothing to turn the tide on his financial fortunes. Thus, I would argue, it's likely a large chunk of it was blown on Champions. Based on his emergency financial crises that are currently coinciding with larger Champions events, and in the earlier days Phil would have had more opportunities to spend constantly while he built his roster, he is certainly indicating that he will ask for large sums with the clear intent of throwing it at the game.

It's one of those things that, at the time, we chalked up to Phil just being bad with money and fucked that hard with debt. But if the patterns we're seeing now were true then, it's quite possible that Phil's addiction was already so out of control that he scammed his own mother and threw away a honeymoon with his wife so that he could roll some gacha. That's... pretty fucking concerning if even partially true.
So you do check for those way before you anounce it? When? He's such a slimy fuck, Jesus Christ...
To me, the worst part of this constantly shifting narrative is the intent behind it all.
Looking at these tips over the last year, Phil changed when he read them (moved it to before break from after break), their origins (said the were behind the scenes, then said he didn't know why they didn't trigger popups, then admitted it again), the number of people doing them (said they were all different people, then insinuated it was two people), and explicit banned the use of the SilentBob name for sock tipping.

Phil has been actively experimenting with the most effective narratives and ways to use these tips to his advantage, and that 'advantage' means pulling more money. So he's not just being sleazy and hiding money until it's convenient, he's being sleazy to the point where he's trying to use the information to manipulate people, and it's clear that truth and transparency mean nothing to him in this process.

Never mind anything else, whatever is going on with these tips is proof alone that he is intentionally scamming.

Already a disaster stream lol

Really? That's your solution? More of the same game from tonight. A game you've already played through? REALLY?

Not a game that was nominated but a game that's practically a movie and barely ties into the Halloween theme. Not a game your wheelchairs have been suggesting?

Now all we need is a super low-effort costume like a hat & vest with monkey aesthetic and we'll really be getting into disaster territory.

There's a lot about this that I find suspicious.

This is curiously the only game that he hadn't downloaded prior to tonight's stream, so he didn't have to talk about this live ahead of the marathon and now doesn't have time to fix.
I can't seem to find anything online about the recent update causing problems (unless he had a modded PS3...).
As @8675ynneJeMllaCyehT309;) pointed out, this conveniently allows him to pull a fan-voted game and replace it with something that he personally wants to play (he's already doing a second run while refusing to play newer games).
This allows him to avoid what was conceivably the 'hardest', or at least clunkiest, of the games, and apparently rules out 'legacy' games forever in the future.
Also, what does it even mean that it 'bricked the online portion'? The store won't load? Dramatic, but pretty vague.

PS3 is relatively old hardware now, so this is totally possible, even without the update being the cause. But any time the stars align and seem to create an opening for Phil to do exactly what Phil wanted to do while avoiding obligations, I don't know why anyone would take what he says at face value.

EDIT: He also tweeted and provided some extra detail that really adds nothing. But note the 'ever again' claim...

You are 1000% correct, no more challenging retro games for The King of Retro, only a future wasteland of modern walking sims and gouty hooves failing quicktime events. Also the error code supposedly:
ooshit.png

Could easily google an error. Also he could of course solve the problem, as "nothing I could do fixes" means he tried rebooting it once, asked someone on Twitter or in his secret discord and then acted like it was their fault when it didn't work.

Edit: It's a fucking network error. Either he's too lazy to figure out his new wifi password, won't try restarting the router, and probably hasn't tried any fixes. This is usually the most basic, fixable error he could have gotten. Even if it is a more complex solve, it is the farthest thing from "bricked" but in pigraoch that just means "requires effort". I know getting angry at PP has fallen out of fashion here, but laziness and justifying it in such an arrogant mater-of-fact way has to be one of the more infuriating character traits I've ever encountered. I'm convinced Phil is a divine instrument sent here to instruct us how not to live.

He could just buy the HD collection which works on PS4 or XB1. Yes it's a crap port, but it's not as if he cares about that since he just wants to clown around and collect denthead dollars.
The HD collection contains Silent Hill 2 and 3, but it doesn't have the original Silent Hill on it.
I think the only ways to play the first Silent Hill are to have the physical PSX disc, get it on the PS3 store, or emulation.

It's ironic that he just recently shit on the idea of physical media and is now getting fucked by one of the pitfalls of things having gone digital - media can eventually disappear completely when services shut down or become inaccessible. That, or he's using that problem to his advantage.

Khat knows,she may not know the full extent of his absurd spendring-spree but surely she must have known that something is up when her 100k/year husband ended up declaring bankruptcy without being able to point to anything tangible he had bought,not to mention the likelyhood of her having googled his name given that he is an ahnline khantent creator.

Given that option 1,2,3,6 is unlikely (otherwise he would have problems with his other devices connected to the internet) he is either hopelessly stupid or faking it all by claiming that he got a generic error code that's too vague and generalized to pinpoint the issue so there is nothing he could do.
