I'm glad I sometimes take the time to lurk before I post a comment because then I'm not late to the party or repeating something some other farmer said...
It IS funny though that after moralizing at EvilAJ saying the word 'retard', PPG shows that Phil's said it about 1750 times. He's lucky the internet troon brigade hasn't caught wind of his hateful slurs.
I can't tell if that's a reference to his closet, or his pitiful and ineffective attempts at revitalizing his "career". Maybe both, without him realizing it.
Which draws all the focus towards Phil's refusal to learn the most basic shit to do what he claims to be his job. Like I said, there is what he wants his image to be, and what he wants to do.
And no one buys that he is transitioning away from games for any normal reason. He has already admitted that a lack of major releases like Elden Ring, FF7 remake, or the upcoming Starfield leads directly to a lack of support. It's true in his case, because he sucks, and it means that if he wants to feed his Champions addiction, to the degree it now expects to get fed, Phil has no choice but to branch out.
He keeps fucking that up, too, because everyone knows there is only so many ideas he is willing to try. He could actually have the last laugh if he stopped being that way, too. The dents would love him for anything unprecedented at this point, and his addiction is going to make him suffer for his failure to capitalize on that.
After all, there is only so much he can do while staying locked up in his condo forever, and we have over three months until Starfield, the biggest 2022 release I know of.
Can't believe I just spent time catching up to the thread thinking it would be something interesting because it jumped a dozen pages overnight. Instead it's just slapfights and asspat seeking dross that'll get banished to shitting street where it belongs. Fuck sake.
I can't tell if that's a reference to his closet, or his pitiful and ineffective attempts at revitalizing his "career". Maybe both, without him realizing it.
Just on the general topic of Phil and fucking with Phil: I've been around for a long time, on and off, and I can tell you we didn't use to be or get this mad at Phil. If you'll believe that, we used to have gameplay to actually fucking discuss. This is ironically Phil's fault. Ever since he went "cozy streamer" mode which is basically short for "I get restreamed a lot so fuck everyone, only dented royalty is gonna be able to stomach my shit now" he's literally un-fucking-watchable.
Feature length prestream pahdcast. Stalling before getting into the game. Stalling while in the game. Any troubleshooting emerges, he'll just fucking do it live. Reading chat. Refusing to play on his own until the dents cough up the answers. Feigning ignorance. No comment on WWEC. No Fhet Khet. No Co-op with dents. No multiplayer unless he really can not avoid it. Ducking plenty of popular and relevant to his content titles (Evil Dead Game, Strive, Tekken updates, SF updates, FighterZ updates, Skullgirls, Fightcade, even that Rumbleverse thing.) 2022 and still no PC gameplay. Limiting his multi sessions to once a week on the seal clubbing platform. Changing seal clubbing platforms when the Bacon Hunters assembled. You see how ridiculous this shit gets? Phil's content is absolutely devoid of any entertainment value whatsoever. Even editing his videos for a TIHYDP or clipshow is astoundingly shitty and boring. That Bacon Sweats guy (Sunspot?) had to quit because Phil is literally too draining to listen to for more than ten minutes at a time.
And most of all, hardcore begging under an emergency pretense literally every other week. Legit framing "Having to eat a deli sandwich" as some sort of fate worse than death, in the aftermath of a pandemic, in the middle of a global economic recession. Just completely divorced from reality. Entitlement off any readable scale.
So yes, the new spotlight detractors, specially Piece fucking hate the guy, but this is the only thing you could expect. I think Piece's content is pretty good, though I'd be lying if I said I saw a lot of it, and his spreadsheet is great work. Thing is: All that remains of Phil is his sleazy televangelist persona. Nothing but a scammer preying on the dumbest retards around. From oldschool drunk dudebro Phil to Pandalee Phil to Nu Soylent Phil we're only tumbling down a very slippery slope while at the same time Phil erases any even remotely redeeming quality he ever had.
Back when Retsupurae was making fun of Phil they described him as "A trainwreck you can't take your eyes away from." Phil's content was actually engaging. Dude still is that fucking bad and incompetent at everything, but his ego prevents him from just exploiting that so he crutches hard as he can to appear competent. He cherry picks easy, walksim and kid games. He diligently reads guides. He flat out puts the controller down and refuses to play the game until he's fed the answers. Not helping this, new age games just plain suck. It's all easy peasy open world Batman simulators and "Narrative experiences" with no challenge to them. Phil's insistence on playing "White Haht New Releases" only helps him stay Babied By Bugsnax forever. His gameplay streams are just dull. That's if you can get through the Prestream Copecast.
Think of Peter Griffin. He went from earnest, well meaning moron who frequently learned his lesson to kinda sorta sociopathic but charismatic in a weird way to really fucking disgusting abusive, self centered dad with no concern for anyone but himself. At the start it was easy enough to like him, which got progressively harder as time went on. The same signature laugh that was once endearing is now despised as the trademark of a verified fucknugget. Now most people hate Peter and there's little to like at all. 'Member when you liked Family Guy?
That's basically Phil's arc in a nutshell. Drunk dudebro who sucked at games, recently retconned as "Only pretending to be retarded" to trashy but succesful youtuber to disgusting, entitled hermit scammer who can't stop begging for money because he blows every last cent on gacha. Oh, and a weekly meal out with the Big Bitch. And Doordash. And Total Wine. And hairdye. He deserves it!
People are saying now that the appeal is "Bad thing happens to bad person." They are absolutely not wrong. Back in the day we used to have shit to actually talk about. The only entertainment some scamming videogame streamer who somehow refuses to play any fucking games can offer is getting his comeuppance. You can't criticize or comment how poorly he plays walksims because walksims can barely be played. Seriously, I'm pretty sure his Stray playthrough was an absolute shitshow but who the fuck cares, it's a generously checkpointed game with absolutely no challenge to it except for that one last part where it's Kitty Gear Solid. I saw he died a veritable shitload of times on Toy Story 3 but that's just what he does now. He plays easy as fuck games in brain off mode and always can claim "Yeah I'm just halfassing this." As a streamer that is just not fun. That is just not entertaining. There's no tension to it.
The bank leaks have basically killed any illusion that he's not a scamming gacha fiend, and that shit's just despicable. On some level we always knew: The money has to be going SOMEWHERE. Over my years in the farms, I personally went from "Most likely a nest egg" to "Probably wasted on Staycations and bullshit" to "Probably wasted on gamer shit and booze" to "Oh my god, he really is just fucking dumping nearly 10K a month in gold plated Hogans, I can not believe." But having things on paper has brought about this turn of events. People are right to hate Phil. People are right to want Phil to get some shit on his plate after all these years of skating by. Really, it's only natural. This dude has the balls to cry poor and beg daily, while making 10K a month AND wasting every last cent on worthless bullshit. Anyone who hears this is bound to be negatively disposed towards Phil.
Getting Fhet Khet didn't help. Instead of humanizing him, and as hard as he tries the "Family Man" approach, it's completely worthless. Dude, you just scammed your dents to fly an escort all the way over to your place from Bumfuck, Michigan. Weren't there at least any thots in your immediate area? Waste less dent money for your live in maidmom? He got caught lying as well. "She'll be a second income" so basically he won't have to beg as hard. Bullshit, soon as she moved in it was "She has her own debt and stuff." "She'll be a co-op partner and she'll frequently be on stream!" Bullshit again, she showed up twice, got called a demon-slaying raccoon and peaced out forever to become a fat horse instead.
Commited husband and catdad? To this fucking day one of the fastest ways to get your drunk ass to answer a text is to do a basic-ass catfish like Alex J. with a female profile picture and just tag you with a "Hiiii :3". Feel free to use that to worm your way out of vidya romance sidequests though. Like, Fhet Khet is so crazy possessive she can't stand you looking at pixel tits, in spite of you sleeping in separate rooms, not even beds, rooms, but female fans, like she once was, are fair game? No way. You're either turbocucked or her roommate and free to slay pussy as you please. Can't be this weird in between.
That said, don't broadcast your gay ops. A Liquid DSP Discord really is in order if Phil's to be fucked with. I always thought Jersh just wanted us to stfu about that sort of stuff because of liability reasons, but he does seem to have a nice halfchub for The Guy for whatever reason. So still, whatever. You can dump doxes here, or his accounting here. Exposing him as a scammer or his paypigs does hurt his business, but at least you're not plotting some nefarious stuff out in the open.
It's true that DSP is kiddy shit as far as lolcows go and we have zoosadists, zoophiles, actual rapists and all sorts of other fun people on the forum. Hell, even the IP2 community's far trashier and more likely to perform trash people acts and stunts. But I don't think "Oh well, you know, I might steal and cheat and lie and rape and hurt innocent animals, and ocasionally cannibalize and kill humans, in that order, but I got one word for ya: Hitler!" is an acceptable excuse to be a fucking piece of shit. This applies to everyone and also Phil. Sure, being a giant, Himalaya-sized turd mountain is worse than being a garden variety piece of shit, but you're still a piece of shit. And some people are bound to take issue with that.
In the end it's a gossip forum about documenting people who are online and talking shit about them, which attracts a very specific crowd who will almost invariably want interesting shit to happen at some point. It happened to Bob from Bob's game, it happened to CWC, it happened to Wings and it's going to happen to Phil. To be honest, The Guy has managed to skate by for many years and only now people are, well, not even fucking with him, but maybe starting to consider it as a possibility a little bit.
What would even be the consequences of it? Phil is deplatformed and unable to scam online, has to get a 9 to 5 and the Dents need to find an e-thot to blow their SSI checks on? And the fucking with would maybe consist of Phil getting paparazzi'd on his DAY AWF devouring fast food with his fat horse? Or getting copyright strikes on his youtube channel? What a cruel and dreary outcome, I say.
I feel it's fair to say The Guy is not mentally unstable enough to be encouraged into raping his senile mother. The stakes with Phil are much lower than any other actually insane lolcow.
I do understand the importance of forum staff standing against gay ops, at least in public. I don't know how much of it is posturing and how much of it is legitimate and honestly I don't mind. They have to do it and we should abide by their rules, if nothing else to make sure Jersh doesn't get Van'd by some glowniggers and we still have a forum to talk shit about Phil on.
Again, like, people are just striking his old videos where he gleefully throws faggot, nigger, retard and the like all over the place, for hateful slurs. Yes, they're doing it to fuck with him, not because they're actually offended, but it's the clownworld we live in. It's not kosher to say those things nowadays, a sentiment that goes straight against freeze peach principles, and Phil hasn't really ever been cancelled. So people are trying to get him cancelled. Cool for them. Who cares, really. Doesn't Phil deserve at least to be mildly inconvenienced, if nothing else just because he paints us as this stark raving mad cabal of Nigels (No offense) out to dox and harass everyone he crosses on the street during his powerwalks?
I sure as fuck wouldn't like having my retarded son or daughter fleeced by the pigroach. Him getting cancelled would not be a bad thing. If people want to act, it's their time and effort. Nothing wrong with that. There's no high horses to ride on this dusty lolcow trail. And Phil's insisted on becoming a dry cow. He's been milked as far as he can go without outside interference. In recent years he lost his girlfriend, married a gold digging fat horse, became so bad at videogames he can't even beat JRPGs any more, got his ass kicked by plenty of competent players on SF proving he was never anything other than a fraud, quit fighting games, quit multiplayer shooters, became a hermit, and had his finances and gacha addiction aired. I know he's happier than ever, but it's been a rough couple years at the snort fort, for sure. Ever since Panda fled the coop he's been stuck in a freefall.
We don't even discuss gameplay any more. We don't discuss his outrageous spending outside of gacha, because there's nothing more to talk about. The only thing keeping Phil relevant is the sheer amount of khantent he vomits onto the internet. If he did one stream a week, he'd fade into total obscurity real quick.
There may be other appeals than "Retarded piece of shit scammer forced to eat his just desserts" but I personally don't see them. Not any more. Hey, if he wants to play Tekken online and be open to snipers I'll be first up on that queue, and I'll legit have a good time makin' some bacon, but I think Phil's happy to just be a scamming hermit, never moving forward and never changing. Truly stuck at level one.
TL;DR: Maybe if the fatass could be fucked to still suck at games for our amusement people would be less joyless and we'd be able to talk shit about how his elbow-sweep in Virtua Fighter was so cheesy and he's literally only good to beat Derishes any more and the like, and he's super full of shit about his long time master of SF2 front, but since he's limited himself to his retard scammer persona, all that's left is the joylessness of watching a piece of shit be a piece of shit, preying on poor retards and getting away with it daily. This community is still good but advocating or hoping for Phil to be forcibly fed an allegorical dick is a natural, unavoidable development. The way things have been going, at least.
but that would mean Phil just listens to the popular opinion about games instead of being a real and hahnest streamer that doesn’t follow the crowd and doesn’t read reviews

As many others have previously pointed out: Phil is the exact person that modern games are made for. An oblivious idiot who needs pointers, tutorials and quest markers everywhere. He and his ilk ruined gaming and because of him and people like him most AAA games are unplayable nowadays.

So crazy they genuinely do have retards like phil 100% in mind when they make these games.
This should be posted more cause this is his legacy.
This is his only chantribution in gaming and it's not by choice or anything to be proud of.
When a prominent developer takes note of Phil it's only because he's so dumb and retarded that's it's become useful to sell more games to retards with no critical thinking skills.
