I think Dave is genuinely delusional when it comes to the BG3 premiere, I forget how many viewers he had exactly but you could tell that getting over 1k people watching made his chest puff up, and that why I think we have these moments when he's addressing new people.

He had 1.4k viewers, thats like double than normal but the usual restreamers i watch also had double than normal viewers that day, meerkat had like 1.2k if i remember correctly, so those new viewers were obviously trolls who wanted him to fail at a hard game.

Not a single new guy will just stumble into Phils BG3 live streams, NOT A SINGLE ONE, the bg3 craze happened 4 months ago, all the popular streamers with good KHANTENT and carisma already beat the game and got their million views, if a random andy wants to watch a playthrought they can just watch that one on youtube, youtube will recomend a 2 million views video before Phils 1k stream anyday of the week.

Just now, BG3 has 4k viewers on twitch, league of legends has 100k, yes phil you are way to fucking late, thats just how singleplayer games have always worked on the streamer business (15 years of experience and he doesnt know that BTW).

And if some guy somehow gets to his BG3 stream, he will have to suffer through Phils streams, they are worse than all the competitors, but that has been talked about for thousands of times here, we all know about it.

Who the fuck is excited for Tekken? I didn't even know the series was still alive. I'd be willing to bet that the only people who buy and play it will be extremely skilled at the series, so I expect this to be a faster quit than MK1.
Anything out of street fighter IP has a shelf life of two weeks on average in fighting genre games. He stalls offline for one week, then rages for another then quits because he's always stuck at scrub. Tekken also doesn't have a massively large autistic fanbase to milk by comparison to its genre IP peers, but if you play Tekken, you're already moving toward the serious end of the genre of games spectrum, one of the reasons fans of the genre who are detractors froth at the mouth at the idea of a pigroach hoove smashing his fight controller during Samurai Showdown or any of it's series entries.
Dave lasted 3 online streams with T7, I bet he'll do less with 8.
Every other day of online streams, so, literally, six days? Maybe he took a day off in between two of them to push it to a full week before he ragequit?

I completely agree, and even if you disregard the fact that BG3 has 4k viewers, Dave's way of running his "business" fundamentally doesn't work.

First of all, any new potential dent is introduced to a 24h cooldown after they've actually pressed subscribe, most people want to comment on something fun happening as they're there, so having this cooldown is just retarded if he actually wants new people to show up.

Second, after the 24h cooldown have weeded out the non-dents, they are then told by a angry Dave that they should only talk about him and the game he's currently playing, unless you're donating to say some stupid shit about another game he has in his rotation. Yeah, that's super fun, I would totally wanna stick around where the main topic is a smelly retard and a game he's playing badly.

I guess if a dent somehow made it through the first two steps without getting yelled at and banned, the third step is an almost sure-fire way to get sent to ban-world, Dave just has a fuckton of banned phrases that any person not familiar with the lore of the piggy is going to look at and probably be dumb-founded. To top it off with something that is a somewhat recent way of getting banned, you also can't ask why someone in the chat got banned, because then you too, will get banned.

Over all, I'd say Dave needs to work some miracles in order to get new retards to show up and actually participate in his god-awful content.
 
I like when he plays Tekken because he dusts off the "this character doesn't play anything like a Tekken character!!" every time he gets bodied by one of the cute girl characters and it's great.
My personal favorite is when he gets hit by a juggle that takes off 40% of his health then starts crying about how Tekken was never about juggles or big khambos. I've played the shit out of Tekken 3 and the only difference between its combos and the ones in the newer games (especially 6 onwards) is the number of hits you have to do, in Tekken 3 that'd be 3-5 hits depending on the character or the khambo while in 6 onwards you'd need 6+ hits for a big damage Khambo. I mained Lei since Tekken 3 and in that game he can get a 50+ damage combo off of his busted ass b+1 punch. It is a frame perfect combo but shaving off over 1/3 of the opponent's healthbar with ONE JAB is insane. But remember, the series was never about big khambos.

The only thing he got correct was when he bitched about 7 having a shit neutral game but that's a case of the broken clock being right only twice a day more than anything else given that he bitched about everything he possibly could while he was getting his ass clapped in 7. He probably can't even explain why 7's neutral is shit even though you'd only need 2 words to make the case.
 
Weren't a lot of his viewers for the BG3 prestream botted anyway? Someone posted a video of the viewer count going down by 400-500 in a very short span. And the way Phail talked about it the next day, it seemed like he knew and was trying to explain why so many people were there.

Guess it really doesnt matter. Could have thousands of legit new views and no one would stick around to become a sea mammal.
 
Since SF VI is being kept on the menu what will Phil do next? Trying Master with his small band? Or trying to get a another character to Master? Someone should convince him to play A.K.I and try to bring her to Master.

He said going back to Blanka and Lily, which will require casual sessions (i.e. easy wins against scrubs) to learn the characters again.

No, those numbers don't really line up. I'm leaning more and more towards Dave being botted during the stream. He didn't just pull double the viewers, he's usually around 400-500, so he pulled more than 3 times his usual numbers, and if we look at Meerkat's social blade...

... we can see within 24 hours a stream with around ~61.5%, not even close to ~33% or less. We should see something north of 20k views here if we want to say "oh restreamers got the same push"

So that leaves us with a couple of option
(1) DSP has a lot more lurker fans than we like to admit, and the lurker fans outweigh the lurker detractors
(2) Dentractors are real and too stupid to figure out re-streams and are part of his 'fanbase', even if ironically (certainly true to some extent)
(3) he got botted.

just my 2 cents. I'm unconvinced that these days Dave can pull 1k viewers or more naturally.
 
-I do believe that Phil has been watching Detractor content lately, especially Doody. If you notice, he's been attempting to squash the theories they've been putting out. A lot of people were pointing out that he was going to get his ass stomped in Fightcade by no-lifers in those games. They've also been pointing out all the SF6 rage and snoozefest yakuza and robocop streams. I also think this is part of the whole BG3 fiasco. He's trying to get a gauge on how many total people were watching his restream and the narratives to nip them in the bud. He's probably drinking gin, pretending to watch Kat play games, pulling hogans in wwe champions, and listening to detractors in his free time lately.
He absolutely does keep an eye on detractor khantent and has to have lurked here. It's the only explaination for why he dropped the word thus after such a long period of using it, and is at least partially why he stopped wearing those shitty gamer shirts (Although LTG helped this one too.
I think Dave is genuinely delusional when it comes to the BG3 premiere, I forget how many viewers he had exactly but you could tell that getting over 1k people watching made his chest puff up, and that why I think we have these moments when he's addressing new people.
Don't forget he is delusional enough to think he has specific viewers for specific games, meaning A) He is fine with having an audience that leaves after one game is done or B) He is coping hard with barely breaking 500 viewers a stream and pignotized himself badly.
Just now, BG3 has 4k viewers on twitch, league of legends has 100k, yes phil you are way to fucking late, thats just how singleplayer games have always worked on the streamer business (15 years of experience and he doesnt know that BTW).
Still waiting for that Mario Movie review after how many months of that movie coming out.
 
This prestream was insane and I can't stress this enough. This massive write up by clothes in the closet didn't even cover everything, I'm not shitting you.

Who is this for?

DSP, Jayde ("me no like <game>, say hi tho"), Derich, Khet
He lists off a few of the games that he's currently playing and mentions that they aren't very well supported, but it all evens out in the end. And then he circles back to the trolls and says "I love how there as these people who come in here and say these stupid things that aren't true because they're just circle-jerking losers who want to shit on me, etc." But.. they aren't doing that. No one is saying that in his chat.
"they" come in here once a day to call him a beggar, "they" "come" in here when memeology makes a video that he had a slow night and begged. Something similar happens later during the suggestion box segment.
Phil seems to know everything about Fightcade, despite never playing it. Also.. didn't Phil say a few days ago that someone sent him a guide on how to set it up, and that he already has the application downloaded on his computer? It seems like he's regressed from that point - like he was almost completely geared up and ready to play it just a few days ago,
DSP downloaded fightcade and ran setup.exe. That's pretty much it. He booted it legit months ago and saw that he has to get ROMs (he knows where that is, he's half Italian) but why do unpaid work if we can stretch downloading roms and putting them into a folder over 3 hours?

Real meat of my post:
The comment is "Don't bring up trolls, detractors, haters, or other creators every stream, and then say that you're above the drama." In repsonse, Phil asks the question "Outside of the troll tip, did I bring up trolls today?"
Outside of troll stuff, when do I bring up trolls? He also calls the guy a hypocrite for saying that he talks about trolls too much by saying he "barely" brought up trolls TODAY. The suggestion was made almost three months ago. But now that the guy mentioned trolls DSP can now talk about trolls for half an hour
Guy then continues "you don't have to try so hard to be holier-than-thou" (you don't need to own trolls 24/7 to show that you are better than them, basically). And now the reason for this post: "'you don't have to act 'holier-than-thou'' you are right, I don't have to, because I don't have to act [ holier-than-thou] when it's true"

MENTAL ASYLUM, NOW.

Guy: "Stop bring up stuff about trolls"
DSP: "YOU WANT ME TO LIE? YOU WANT ME TO OUTRIGHT LIE THEN? NO, I AM NOT GOING TO LIE"
If DSP doesn't correct the record with FACTS, then he lying (somehow). Some time later allutapeepul are saying "why don't you milk them back?"
THE ORIGINAL GUY LITERALLY SAID THE OPPOSITE!

People say he's toxic, he's not (debunked) because what he says isn't serious. You know what's really harmful (besides HATEFUL SLURS)? Making a documentary.
DSP IS just better than everyone. Detractors, milkers, disappear off the planet, NOW!

Bonus stuff:

Take a guess, what could cause such a reaction?
He has to spend christmas with his wife

Remember the fucking sandwich shop analogy and how he can't do Baldur's Gate 3 every day because then his fans would leave and go somewhere else?

I'm kidding obviously, he said "maybe".

WRONG! DSP already explained this away. It was actually certain evil trolls sending people to his stream, as part of our new evil detractor plot.

Step 1: Send a bunch of people to quietly watch Phils's stream and boost his metrics.
Step 2: ?????
Step 3: Phil is Le Trolled.

Its a plan so retarded only Phil could think it up.
 
Pig ups to the lads that come here with massive reports on stuff, I have to admit I'm starting to run out patience to listen to Phil, even in detractor clips.

The prestream, the troll tangents, the "they hate me because I'm still here" charades are all by Phil for Phil himself. The narc needs constant self reassurance, lest the house of cards that is his fragile psyche collapse and he experience ego death.
 
He really has gotten more deranged recently I'm starting to wonder if the Turkey Tom video has done more damage to his fragile state of mind than even the Side Scrollers did, because he is really hammering how he is still here and still active more than ever.
People say he's toxic, he's not (debunked)
Same rant where he literally said detractors and people who post disinformative slander lead worthless lives and the world would be a better place without us in it. Literally the second time this year (to my memory) he has told us all to kill ourselves without flat out saying it. The other time? In the middle of a rant about how he had depression and remembers feeling like he had nothing of value to give the world.
 
Ludwig pulling out another great video covering Phil's massive coping in regards to Street Fighter 6, along with his attempts at trying to grift off of FGC guys like Justin Wong. Oh wait, that's right, Phil doesn't care about the FGC.

Also, why the fuck is this idiot pulling the "I was only pretending to be retarded" card this morning in regards to his hatred of Kojima? It's like he forgets that his lie about playing a character was exposed earlier this year with Craig and company.
 
I think clothes in my closet is totally right, listening to DSP lately really reminds me of how my schizophrenic family members talk when they're off their meds. It's this indescribable wrongess of their mannerisms, speech and topics of conversation.
Can we talk about his weird facial micro ticks for a moment? His ear wiggling aside which I think has happended for a while they've just become quite noticable, his right eye has begun twitching and blinking out of sync with his other eye. His lips behave likes hes had a minor stroke, one side twitches, his right side dropes, it won't pull back in sync with the other side when he smiles. These weird twitches are increasing in amount and duration. It would not surprise me if he has had one or a few mini strokes.

But this combination of weird micro facial movements combined with how he talks is beginning to sound like unmedicated schizopherenia I really think he has given himself a serious mental illness due to his hermet lifestyle. Like think about it like this, he has the ultimate hugbox 6 days a week on stream and one the 7th when he dares venture out into the world he only talks to customer service people and thats it, his wife is a vacuous doormat and thats the only people he speaks to face to face. He doesn't read books, he isn't curious about the world or have any intellectual stimulation of anykind, and I think these things combined have led to him developing a genunine mental illness. And because hes a crazy person hes developing these crazy person facial ticks.

Edit: Also im so fucking disgusted how everytime this retard leans forward the camera light reflects off his forehead and its always super shiney. This guy is so greasy and oily and its disgusting

Looks like Dhalsim is now on the chopping block. Starts with 1350 MR and ends the stream at the same point. Oh and again whining "I need a PC!" This idiot is looking for any excuse he can find.
You're underselling how funny the SF6 stream was. He started at 1357MR. Actually went on a bit of a tear in the first half of the stream and broke 1.4k MR, then it all went downhill and he ended at 1357MR, piggy made zero progress.
 
Best part of Phil going insane is that its a constant descent into madness because of his self inflicted isolation and narcisism, and it had almost nothing to do with what he loves the most, MONEY.
People have always hated when Phil gets whaled because it slows the collapse of his lifestyle, and thats something i think we all want to see someday, but now i honestly dont care if he keeps getting money, his mental deterioration is on full swing and it doesnt matter how much he gets whaled.

Today we are at the point that if the usual suspects keep donating tens of thousands of dollars to ¨own the detractors¨, i wont even be mad, because it wont save Phil, hes too far gone and at this point they are just lighting money on fire.
He still gets paid A LOT for what he does and look at him, one foot on the asylum, money makes no difference (unless he literally cant eat and pay for the khando but we are very far away from that point).
We will get the mental breakdown and we will get it regardless of his income, keep whaling away retards.
 
Fair point. I was just laughing at him getting stomped by a 1732 Mr Modern Guile and him complaining "stupid button mashers" Guess nobody told him that a Modern player got Top 6 at Evo thios year

And so far, BG3 is the same as DOS 2: lots of support. I bet right now there are two conflicting sides in Phil: the greedy pig and the narc duking each other. I mean him playing the game makes himself look even more strupid then usual but he gets paid for it. Really good pay I might add. when was the last game where he constantly got over 100$ per stream?
