Seriously Phil, you step on a cable and that's it, too bad, it's done?

Bullshit, something's going on and he needs to go, now.
I thought so too at first, but with Phil it’s usually better to apply Occam’s razor.

Chances are that he does have a faulty cable, but instead of buying a new one or even replacing it with a spare he doesn’t use (assuming it’s not proprietary), he chooses to just say it’s not his fault he did nothing wrong, he did everything correct.
 
End of stream update:

Total tip: $151

Top tip: Zaid K with $50, also a pre-tip from Jaxx Cuxor in advance for being late to SF stream

Derich got banned due to a chatter with an interesting name accusing him being the fake Derich, see for yourself here, don't know why he hasn't been banned yet

Phil is 1 hit away from beating the rock centipede boss and decided to stand there and tank the rolling attack while healing and died.

"Fuck this, this is all bullshit, the game is cheating, all stupid patterns and ridiculous hit box, the game can suck my dick, I'll play it tomorrow"

Then he rage quited stream

Alright we've got a lot of morons in the chat talking about me winning the lottery yesterday. Guess what genius, that was yesterday, just because I made money then doens't mean I can afford not to hit the tips goal today!
You joke, but this is what Phil does every day, just with a much smaller amount of money. He's always honing in on that perfect sweet spot where he's not really going to lose everything, but no one should feel like he's okay either.

What I find amusing is that he's terrified to come right out and say that there's no such thing as him ever being too far in the red or too far in the black for tips to not be important. Even though that's exactly the game he has been running for years, and is going to remain the case until the day he dies.
Now you start to see why he also didn't want to play Monster Hunter.

These type of fights and Horizon are great examples of how bad he can be at games like this.
It gets better/worse when you realize that that means he KNOWS he's going to make such a stupid mistake and it doesn't occur to him to stop making the stupid mistake. He just avoids the game that will draw more attention to this refusal to adapt, on even a child's level.

It's no wonder he ran away from MvC2, found comfort in Super Turbo and stayed there forever.
I thought he was going to; the screen went black and he went all "We may not have time to come back and do anything." But he's back.

His initial response was questionable, but he's back and acting like nothing happened.
If it was a faulty cable, he would be bitching about it at least a little bit. But I'll admit I have no idea what else it could've been. Kat suddenly needing him for something would be very odd, especially if it's not enough to force him to just stop. Unless it's the real reason he ragequit the stream...

He stealth begged for a new PC as soon as he "fixed" the issue. The donated pre-built robust mature adult overpriced office workstation PC is gonna be the next positive change to his stream right after he buys another vest and hat.

The fact that none of the "whales" have stepped up to buy him a new PC after months of begging for one is further evidence that they're only involved to watch him flail and continue making a fool of himself as much as we are. They'll buy him all the fucking goofy hats and $30 broke-ass "gamer chairs" all day long but nothing that actually improves his product for mass consumption.
 
So Phil has been yammering on about "engagement" and how well Elden Ring is doing both as a stream and "ahn demand", saying that ER is ,I think, 28% of his total VOD views.

But just a quick look at his channel makes that seem like a strange statement as ER is doing sort of well compared to Phil other uploads but nothing spectacular.
So I decided to follow 2 ER VOD's for a few day to see how quickly the views would grow.

It took these 2 VOD's 5 days to hit 1K views, but as a control of sorts I decided to look at 2 newer uploads and they hit more than 1K in a day. The performance of his ER playthrough is just very strange.

But if it really is over 20% of all his views the rest of his uploads and older VOD's must be doing badly.

Another fun view tism was caught by @SomeBoyo Phil uploaded his first Ghost Wire: Tokyo as 2 VOD's instead of the usual 3, this will cost him 1/3 of his usual views. Very strange for somebody that has been yammering on and on about engagement.

he ran head first like a real leroy jenkins into the face of a dragon that was VERY CLEARLY about to breathe fire...

I don't even.




This one is my favourite. Clearly in air as the bosses attack starts and lands just in time for it to hit, but this game is bullshit and those damn FromSoft devs are morahns because he tried to roll!

This boss has been the best so far. Phil keeps swinging at it from way outside melee range and whining that he misses. The boss does a little jump back before it attacks, and phil just stands there so he's out of range. "Bullshit hit boxes". X fucking D
 
Just watched some tihydp, phill really fucking plays every game like it's his very first time playing a video game ever he has been playing games for how more than 20 years and he hasn't learned a fucking thing.

Playing elden ring and he was bitching about everything being quicker and tougher than you, it's dark souls in open world you fucking dolt. He said this near the start of his guide through.

Wow what is this thing .......He’s just like that stupid soundbox of his it's just 6 phrases thrown out there with no fucking passion
 
One of the most infuriating things about Phil is how little effort he puts in to everything regarding his "job".

Imagine being fortunate enough to make a living on the internet, having people support you despite being an awful person, and then not upgrading your camera, not purchasing editing software (or using many of the free alternatives), not UPGRADING to windows 10 so that you can use your STREAM DECK that a FAN purchased FOR YOU, and constantly asking for more contributions. Nah, just keep buying more hats/vests/shitty Halloween costume so you can extract more money from the disabled you fucking dildo.
 
Did phil fight THE LOATHSOME DUNG EATER yet? Why isn't he wearing his set? You'd think phil would wear the poopoo armor for the memes. Plus they both enjoy eating things that look like shit.
You kiddin? From last I saw Phil barely got a map slice for the western chunk of the plateau. Expect him to maybe make his way to the Volcano Manor in a week before he turns around and takes another weak to reach the capital. There's no way he'll find the poopy-man, much less his 5 curses before the middle of April.

With the pace he's going at right now, I'm kind of expecting him to be playing this game for potentially half a year (maybe slightly less) at this point, he will do more pointless wandering around the map trying to find every nook and cranny he can find, pigsplaining everything he can see and read for hours on end, stumbling on bosses for ages (despite reading guides in how to beat them) and continuously dying so much that it will make the death counter exceed 1000 deaths easily (btw follow the snort burnell counter as I believe that's the most accurate).

It's very funny and ironic how he's been going on about he can't possibly keep playing all these numerous games coming out, even if you put his "podcast" time aside, he just takes far too long compared to the average player to complete most games, which (unless your going for a completionist run, which Phil if ever rarely does) makes it a more poorer experience for the average viewer, but it won't really matter how much of a fuss his chat puts up, he's only fixated on the monetary side of things, if that goal is fulfilled he'll care little about anything else that his audience says to him and simply sees it as mild annoyance, like always.

According to the average game time submitted on howlongtobeat, seeing all and every aspect that the game has to offer will take grand total of 113 hours on average, Phil I believe is just slightly over halfway through the game at this point if you add up all the khantent he can do, so I'm expecting his total game time to be somewhere in the ball park of like 150-180 hours, potentially more if he does actually want to drag it out for longer for whatever reason.
 
so he loves MvC2 and says there's characters that can, basically, ToD you like Cable and magneto but it was ok cause people learned to counter it. He liked BB hood cause she could do one combo and take 80% of your health but hates modern fighting games because they have ToDs and one hit can take a huge lead to a combo that takes a chunk of health...

also the SF collection once again got roll-back for one move and this time you can see it, well he can see it. even asked if chat could see that "Roll back code"

phil...
bubby..
shhhh
that'll do pig, that'll do.
