I'm just catching up on today. One thing from the prestream that I wanted to call attention to because it seems like one of those things that may be worth referencing later.
Phil, during this weird rant where (I think) he was trying to be humorous, he at one point, actually spoke the truth.
(3:16)
He played it as a joke, but he said that he has heard the complaints about his prestream break for years and just ignored them, flat out. Because he didn't want to change it.
This is exactly what Phil says he no longer does, that he isn't pigheaded anymore, that he listens to his audience and takes
valid criticism. He just admitted that all of that is a lie - Phil does what Phil wants to do, regardless of the validity of the complaint, and if he doesn't like something, he'll just ignore it completely.
The dents didn't catch that he just admits he deliberately treats them like shit.
He also says that he has 'trained' his bowels to respond to certain times and that he functions on a regular schedule, like clockwork.
He gives his sleep schedule as an example, saying he wakes up at the same time every day, without an alarm. On a day where he admits he slept through his alarm... but ok.
But this is also Phil admitting that when he started to add that prestream break in during late 2018,
he was deliberately training himself to take a break. Exactly as we speculated he was.
His strategy is now to go back to how he used to do things and sell these things as positive changes.
Also... this was a haven of his autism when it comes to feces. Doodies, Lincoln logs, bunker blasters... everything is in here. His fixation on shit is just so fucking juvenile and weird.
And I like the implication here that Kat does nothing to help him. Time-wise, it seems that she usually gets home after his last stream, meaning she is home in the morning when he gets up. And she just... lets him sleep in. Despite Phil supposedly following the same routine every day. What a supportive partner.
