If he ever reacted to the Rambo and Howard video, I'd be very interested to see how he'd spin / deflect the part where they talk about him monetizing the death of a friend while he is literally in the middle of the process of monetizing his reaction to a video that was effectively the end of their friendship.

The only part of his reaction to DTRH that will be even maybe worth checking out is the part that deals with Leanna and the Kingdom Hearts incident. He's pretty much talked around her for the past number of years with the most you ever get is him throwing in a quick 'when my ex' or 'my ex did' as part of some very short remark. That part directly deals with her, and there's not gonna be any way to just ignore her role as the catalyst in it.

Curious if he'd even comment. If he did, I'm almost sure he would have talk some degree of shit about her to take the focus off of how he responded in that situation, because that just how Phil is. That could be very interesting. If he doesn't comment, he'd probably just do an 'I won't talk about my ex' in an attempt to look like he's taking some noble high road.

These are a couple of examples that I think maybe bring into question if he may be playing with a bit of fire doing these reactions. Two videos that have events in them (actually pretty much the entire video in the case of Rambo and Howard) that are long over where he would, in my opinion, have to be pretty diplomatic to not possibly create new drama. Diplomacy being probably second to only financial responsibility as something he's completely incapable of.

Funny you say that, someone in chat mentioned she was in the DSP DTRH and he said he was fine talking about her, then proceeded to throw her under the bus, blaming her for losing relevance and viewership.

the line between troll and real fan is really blurring. His chat is mostly trolls but these "fun facts" they come up with that phil repeats and takes at face value is just really hard to tell if these dents are that dented or it's people trying to get him to say really stupid shit which he doubles down on.

This middle finger fun fact, that the english would remove the index finger from french archers so the french would give them the middle finger as an insult. I mean thats wrong but not only is that wrong but DSP is so god damn stupid he doesn't get what "give them the finger" means. He literally thinks the french were giving the english disembodied middle fingers as an insult becaue the english cut off their index finger.

how, how do you take "give them the finger" so fucking literally?? so not only is the fun fact wrong (see tism REEEEE) but he just quad downs on the stupid but not knowing what "give them the finger" means...an English speaking 40 year old college graduate high school valedictorian

Kids, drink responsibly, spay an neuter your burnells and don't smoke while preggers.

This only stuck out because each culture has a different equivalent of the middle finger, france is the for lack of wanting to explain in detail, spaceball salute. The middle finger origins date back to Ancient Rome

I seem to remember the blockbuster releases on the original NES were also $60 back in the mid-90's.

Yeah. Top tier games were real expensive but your average game was around $30-40. Cheesy games were bargain basement at around $10 and were the worst. I never spent on top tier as I was very casual.

It depended on the game but yes on average $30-40.

shelling out like $50 to $60 for Zelda 2 because the only place around me that had it was a videostore I had a too young for working papers after school job at. They marked it up but also at that time nintendo got caught doing some price fixing shenanigans. Well my dad helped buy it, but still.

I mean they still pull that short supply to create demand crap but back then they were using that as a threat to make retailers sell the NES at a price set by nintendo.

SNES games were around $40-45 iirc except games like FF6 and Chrono Trigger, I paid I think it was $70 for Chrono Trigger from funcoland. Like I said, I'm old

Yeah I don't remember original NES games being 60$ in 80's money back then even for first party releases, 30-40 was the norm. Nah it wasn't until the SNES especially rpgs that were around $70 and then you had the N64 and fugeddaboutit they were pushing $80 depending on the release. @Wasabi Panda beat me to it but yeah I remember paying 70 for Lufia II and like 50-ish for a used Earthbound in 99'.

Yeah but accounting for inflation $30 in 1985 equals $80 today. $60 then is $160 today! Technically speaking triple-a titles are cheaper today than they were then.

Wonder why this got deleted so fast hmmmmmm

And yet he still wonders why his chat doesn't move

It's crazy, how people were predicting a wage quit on this game and then magically when there's less than 30 minutes left, he gets 2 50 dollar donations. Is it certain to say that he plays these games for certain people who promise him money if he doesn't hit his goal so he can keep playing it
