I don't get DSP's hangup with the same enemies popping up in Elden Ring. What, you gonna get angry because Mario has goombas? It's a stupid complaint that he probably dredged up from whatever guides he's watching.
That annoys me more than anything. He is basically saying that he needs a unique enemy in every location. so Fromsoft better develop over 2000 unique enemy types for him.

Phil has never complained about reused assets in Skyrim, Horizon or any other game. DSP has a irrational hatred of this game series because it shows how much of a casual he is at games.
 
So I do really hope that Phil and Wings will do a podcast type colab, even though I really doubt it will happen, this would probably end up being entertaining in all the ways Phil does not want it to be.

Lolcows teaming up though is not particularly unusual, Wings and LTG had a two hour "podcast stream" type thing going on a few months back, but they're a bit separated from Phil in how they handle their infamy because Phil really tries not to give mention to certain trolling parties or directly engage with them unless he can do it in his safe space...

This is why the collab theory has me skeptical. Phil is usually adamant that he is NOT a lolcow. Doing a collab stream with another of his kind seems like it would be a hit to his ego, and proving the detractors right.

I think he just gets upset that the traveling (horse-riding/exploring) and otherwise low energy moments are broken up with actual gameplay. He only really seems to get into walking sims these days. It is hilarious seeing him die and rage to some low level mob with a torch though.
 
Phils membership announcement will be a shitty aprils fools joke.

I can't see him collabing with wings. Phil does this for money, Wings does this for money. Wings won't trust a bankrupt man with the finances of their little venture and phil won't trust wings either.

Wings also won't keep to any kind of schedule, he's someone who delayed surgery that he was crying on the internet about wanting more than anything because his sleep schedule was fucked up and he wasn't awake when his mother was around to help him. He was also constantly late for PKA when wings did this.

Collab ain't going to happen. It will be a very shit april fools prank or something absolutely retarded that no one cares about (discord for members?)
 
I dont mind him exploring and fuckin about but like everything in life, he's so inefficient at doing so. 60 hours in and he should have a good idea how things are going to be laid out for any sort of exploring aspect. Some items are blue pickups, NPCs that are not like the rest that stand out, obvious signs of a cave shown by geography, knowing you're overleveled for an area if you're 1 basic mooks etc. And he chooses to do it on foot.

You sit here and say catacombs are a waste of time because its all reused, well yeah dude you did everything so far so why are you surprised, fucking skip it then. Those evergaols? Yeah you guessed it, reused, because you did all the optional shit that someone could easily miss and totally not feel they are fighting the same boss again. It's like gettin all the moons and korok seeds and complaining about all the autism ruined it for you, but blaming the game for it.
 
he turned elden ring into walking simulator....just wandering around crying like a little child when ever the game expects him to do something and just doesn't lay there letting him push button to win or give him a direct straight path he can auto run from point a to b...

how is he not at the capital yet? I just finished the capitol and I'm meandering about farming weapons, shields and talismans and ashes to try new builds then farming runestones to upgrade and somehow I am further than him...jesus.

He also doesn't call out games poorly reusing assets from previous entries, the Yakuza games are particularly bad at this, especially when they introduced the Dragon engine. I'm a sperg when it comes to movesets in Yakuza games and have been involved in moveset modding ever since the games came to PC and a big problem with the Dragon engine movesets for some enemies is that they added certain combat mechanics, like getting stunned if certain attacks get blocked, this happens both to the player and the enemies. The problem arose when they recycled movesets from pre-Dragon engine games and haven't accounted for that, which led to a situation where some minibosses who used recycled movesets were leaps and bounds more difficult than the final boss of the game since they played by the rules of the pre-Dragon engine games where movesets had less weight but were much quicker and snappier. My niggas who played Kiwami 2 and remember having to face Man in Black know what I'm talking about.
 
Most that I would say about the shoe store story has already been said but I do think most of it is exaggerated. He must've been jealous for some reason of the old man, and probably kids too. Maybe they were loud or something and annoyed him ala that VR chat girl, who knows.

What strikes me most is him not offering help or suggestions, like when he thought of the perfectly reasonable vacation thing. This almost certainly happened. Why? He is a massive coward and for one reason or another didn't want to draw attention to himself. I have a feeling this is due to his jealousy of the old man for whatever reason and decided to just leave him in the dust, hence why he gave that exaggerated ending.

On the bright side we got more stroke face and a fake snort from that rant. Big ups Hate Army for these

 
I doubt that the special thing he is promoting is going to be a collab with another content creator. He said it will only happen if he reaches the membership goal. I just don't think the other creator would want to do the collab only if the goal was meant. It would just waste the time of the other creator. That is why I believe the special thing is a peripheral like a green screen or some type of multiplayer session with fans. It could also be a Kat collab because she wouldn't mind not doing a stream with Phil if the membership goal doesn't get reached.

Either way it is going to be lame as hell. And if he puts a collab stream behind a membership goal then that would be dumb. But I can see him doing that since his dumbass fans would want to see that happen, so they would make sock accounts to reach that goal. Now it would be funny if he announces this special thing and never reaches the goal. The amount of complaining and scolding he would do towards his audience would be funny.

"Guys you wanted me to do a collab with someone and I give you that but if we meet the membership goal. Yet, we didnt reach the goal, like what the hell guys. I give what you want [behind a paywall] but you guys dont try to want that goal. For now on I dont want anyone to demand something of me on my streams if you guys dont do your part [give me money]. And PotatoLady is banned in chat for saying I am out of touch with my fans....Man you guys are fucking idiots."
 
The story didnt really have a point. He kinda made it seem like the grandpa was an ass bragging about having 80k in the bank. Then he ended the story by talking about how sad the family looked leaving the story empty handed and how it was "completely avoidable" so the grandpa was stupid? I dont know if he thought he was flexing on poors or making himself look smart.?

In reality I think phil saw children getting a a few hundred bucks worth of free stuff and got jealous, so he made up some story about grandpa getting his card declined.
story is definitely partially fake if it happened at all, but I'm surprised he didn't come to the conclusion to make himself out to be the hero by pigsplaining the bank thing to him rather than just the wheelchairs when he could still have had them walk away with nothing.

Or he's simply become ever more prone to social situations not factored into his autistic schedule (in other words reality itself outside the gated walls of goutopia) leaving him exasperated. He probably has a doordash driver assigned to him personally at this point so the idea he's out every week to shop and eat no longer tracks with me since he's developed such an avoidant personality. It's easy to imagine him being disturbed on his dozen or so outings a year by an everyday occurence like children being loud or someone's credit card payment hiccup at the register. When you have nothing at all going on in your life is when Burger King getting your order wrong becomes a fiasco that you need to wring your hands over and cry about for weeks. Now he'll be having distorted kiddy voice flashbacks everytime he looks at the new shoes in the hallway.
 
phil is over 100 hours in this game right?

get he still just wants to face tank everything.. holy shit

its not wonder he complains about dragons. they all share 90% of the same move set yet he doesnt want to learn them
Because he refuses to learn or adapt. It's why all he does is that stupid jump attack. He expects that thing to win every encounter for him and is the main reason he fails so horribly whenever he encounters any enemy that is slightly a challenge.
