How abnormal is it it go from blank expression, to tearing up and shaking voice to laughing, In like the span of 30 seconds. Thats not normal right
This is the kind of shit that that you see happening to people who are lumping around a ton of emotional baggage or have like a delayed emotional response to a bereavment or some other trauma. When something like stubbing their toe or dropping and breaking a cup in their kitchen will trigger the waterworks.

Except in the case of phil you'd sooner believe the damage he's felt being inflicted upon him stems from the fact that his half-assed attenpts to rebrand and find a new pool of generous idliers has yet again ran into a ditch. If you had someone you knew at work breaking down like this the amount of times he has people would rightly become disturbed and concerned by the behavior.

The way he switches it off is even more bizarre. I see it less as him just faking and more supressed emotional distress bubbling to the surface that he has to squash to maintain the facade that he's happier than ever dood - to himself more than anyone else. It often seems to be things in the past or the future that get him worked up. Perhaps because he's mostly incapable of thinking of/planning for the future and when the subject comes up it terrifies him. He doesn't want to think beyond next bag of fast food or pull. I don't know about other people but if I get emotional it's usually a result of something in the here and now not triggered by the prospect of my own death or some shit.

The past was the golden age arc for DSP except that he was denied the primrose path in his youth, was on a cocktail of medications and wanted to kill himself while nursing a teenage alcoholic streak then fell into a "job" that put him on easy street that he ruined just by being himself. The future looks brighter than ever because despite chaining himself to his townhouse and having precisely no contact with the world outside his front door he has a cat and.. a kat to sustain him until the wheels fall off this gacha lahlcowmotive. He loves his job but he can't see himself playing games forever and no matter how hard he tries to become white hot popular again his efforts are forever undone by mentally ill nudniks who are jealous of his happiness.

His past present and future are the best of times and worst of times experienced all at once. He sucks at vidya but he's a level 10 expert at avoiding reality. The tears are like a real person trying to claw their way to the surface before Darksydephil stomps on their fingers with his gouty foot.
 
Like all addicts, it's not about the game itself. When Champions closes it's doors, he'll just move on to the next gambling simulator and dump the next 100k into some other property.
That something I asked myself: How do you end a game like champions. It's not like a normal game where you would just make a new game which hopefully improves on the previews and then people will switch over to it. Most of your players won't make you money, and a few very addicted pay the bills. You don't want them to leave, so you must find a way to give them something so that they switch over to the new game you want them to play, and not just be pissed they lost it all and maybe suddenly stop with mobile games or spend their money on the competition.

I mean if he sank that much money for what he thinks is a good purchase for sweaty men PNGs and they all got deleted and he can't press button and win anymore would he really go to a new game and start all over
 
Also lines up with the emotions of an addict. High highs from getting tips, wwec, drinking, spending money, etc. Leaves him depleted of dopamine.

This is how alcoholic gamblers come down.
yeah and your hormones and sleep and all of the chemistry in your body. alcoholism has a lot of little subtleties that aren't just being blackout drunk or being a ragepig. it's probably where 90% of phil's paranoia comes from, if he's not drinking/drunk at the moment. being dry for the day after a lot of years of drinking will make you suspicious of nothing. i think because it works on GABA receptors which can trigger anxiety and they're not being doused in gin to shut them up. same thing that xanax does; you have can have a bunch of mini bounceback "episodes" throughout your day that just seem like an extra cranky old queen faggot just as phil acts.
 
While many still think these are performative, I'm still of the opinion that these emotional outbursts he has out of nowhere are largely him finding an outlet for his depressive feelings regarding his life situation by projecting them onto other subjects. Even in the case where he had reason to cry crocodile tears, like when talking about T, he seems to cry on command unusually well for someone who is as bad at acting as he otherwise seems to be. More likely, I think, that he knows deep down that he's in a bad place (regardless of whether he consiously admits it to himself or not) and has these emotions churning just beneath the surface at any given time.
This.

Phil may be dumb, but he’s not THAT dumb.

Deep down inside, he knows that a mahture ahdult isn’t meant to sit in his house 24-7 and stream to a few hundred people. He knows that Jasper isn’t an actual child and that his fat wife and him doesn’t have a robust relationship.

That’s why we get all the “I’m happily married!”-cope. “My life is SO meaningful and happy!”

And every now and then, the autismo armor cracks a little bit, and he can transfer his feelings of sadness and failure as you said.

Keep in mind that Champions isn't the first game he's whaled on. He's done it before and he'll do it again - it's more about the rush of gambling than any actual attachment to the game he's spending on
 
Only to admit that he had bought delux versions of games and not used the extra bonus content that he got!

What the hell is going on with his hands? This guy has always been a rube when it comes to buying the most expensive thing possible, but what the fuck are these motions?

Are his authentic Itahlian jeans coming in?
believing those videos are meant to be taken seriously,
TBF I do take DickStrokingPhil's content as serious. Guy gets straight to the point and translates Pigroachese to English.
Really nice of him to shit on something that, according to Phil, someone "bought" for him with their own money.
ALT mentioned this in a recent stream but every tip reward he mocks as stupid and silly and a waste of time, but does it anyways. Deep down he knows shit like blowing bubbles is fucking retarded.
I don't think the bubbles have returned since.
There have been a few times since chat has demanded them and gotten Phil to spergout over them, always with the same retcon that he hasn't blown bubbles in years.

Agreed. I think Phil’s narcissism is a good shield but he still has an understanding of how bad things are. He isn’t a complete unfeeling psycho, he’s just a fat self absorbed faggot, but his ego isn’t a total shield to all the bad things in his life no matter how big it is.
 
I don't know about other people but if I get emotional it's usually a result of something in the here and now not triggered by the prospect of my own death or some shit.
I know that if I suddenly burst into tears, it is because, in that moment, I had a revelation that either made me happy or sad enough to bring me to tears.
 
what a fucking dickhead. first of all he's swearing non stop at a kids park then he walks up to some dude and his kid and sticks the camera in their faces and just leaves it there.
He did this in all his vlogs too. Loudly bitching and moaning and forgetting he is in a public place and keeping the camera on kids and random adults way too long.

I get it is a public place and there will be people in shot, but I think most people don't like their kids being filmed by a random fat pollak.
What the fuck is he going to do when Jasper goes to that great catnip patch in the sky? Angrily yell at the vet that a parent aren’t meant to outlive their children?
Jasper's corpse gets tossed in one of the trash cans and he bitches and moans about his whole house smelling like a badly decomped body and the neighbors calling the cops.

Phil probably has some sort of emotional disorder as well. I'm talking the kind of shit where you have massive highs one hour and the next you think about killing yourself. He is totally manic some streams and will be telling people to kill themselves and dooming and glooming the next. This is obvious narc ego and baiting for money partly, but I think part of his mind says if he doesn't get that 150 a stream he will be dead in a day.

While it may motion towards being something like BPD, I think it’s more likely (technically speaking) to be the result of his total isolation and lack of personal relationships over time, as well as the general stress of being so widely hated, and the circumstances / reality of his life being incongruent to the delusions and projections of his outward ego. I really can’t fathom what it would be like to lose the best, and perhaps only real friend you ever have because you’re a cheap manipulative piece of shit. It really is a lot to shoulder being both so reviled and so isolated from the world, not that it isn’t totally deserved.

This is all to say, if he had any truly “genetic” personality disorders, it would be his narcissism. The symptoms related to BPD or other associated disorders—while perhaps clinically diagnosable at this point—are simply side effects of his way of life imo, as he seems much less volatile in his early life from what I can tell. He certainly wasn’t breaking down in tears over some gay ass normie video lmao.

Not sure if this is even exactly what you were getting at in that comment, but I find it interesting either way. The only real negative traits I seem to share with Phil are getting disproportionately mad at video games, so his situation isn’t exactly something I can “learn from”. But for people who may not have the desire to make friends or get out of their comfort zone, looking at what it has done to Phil’s mental health should be encouragement enough to get out and talk to people. And to also not just treat them like your personal manservants 24/7.
