Phil played Yakuza before he was streaming, though. Back when he filled every second with his annoying babble and goat laughs in his videos.It's an easy, turn based JRPG with lots of long cutscenes. Despite his constant whining about RPG Overloadthis is his favorite kind of game because it's the most low effort for him to stream, next to walking simulators. The reason he dropped Final Fantasy 7 and not Yakuza is because FF7 is an action game with an RPG wrapper.
Well, he wrote on TopHaters he wants to fuck a dog so of course the dogman returns now. Duh
If they had a wedding reception, i would expect "get lucky" by daft punk for the first song...
You can really push that as far as you want to. I disagree with the idea that self-delusion has some kind of shelf life, and that one day he just suddenly won't be able to do it anymore. There are consequences to it, and they will just get more and more severe, but you and I see people all the time that have spent their entire lives deluding themselves without ever facing it.
I'm inclined to agree. Eventually the coming generations of internet kids won't even know DSP as "The Guy" and he'll be buried deeper and deeper into obscurity as the generation of viewers and content creators that grew up in Phil's era of youtube start to have lesser and lesser influence over the zeitgeist (if we aren't already). Phil may be scared of the reality setting in, I don't doubt he has enough self-delusion and cope reserves to tell himself that he's happy and fulfilled. Remember this is the guy who can doublethink as easy as breathing given that he's both a founding pillar of gaming content creation but also just a small time humble guy who's been a constant target by da trawlz.
That's why I'm always on the side of the whales propping him up do him more damage long-term. Even big streamers tend to not clown out for some whale that comes through, because once you show somebody you'll give them power if they shower you with $$, you've lost. Until you stand up and say no, they control you, your streams, etc. It's ironic because he likes to pretend he's above selling out, but he's sold out to the whales.
In his twisted head, he thinks the enlightened centrist is the voice nobody hears anymore, forgetting that MSM is essentially that. He puts his finger up and sees which way the wind is blowing just like them. And like how MSM will not go against their $$ interests, Phil's politics are all about his $$ interests, except in Phil's case he might actually be worse with his contradictions (Seattle is not safe, need more cops, but also my taxes are way too high wtf). It might give us a few moments of him getting clipped by smaller "debate" streamers and dunked on but probably not much more, and like all DSP ventures, it'll die slowly.
I always thought Phil marrying Khet was meant as a "take that" against Leanna, precisely because she did want to get married for so long. We know how Phil is with holding grudges, even if the people he holds grudges against aren't actively part of his life. I think it was also him doubling down because of his hurt pride, he wasn't someone with a failed relationship, now he's someone in the perfect marriage with his loving soulmaid. I do think his family put some pressure on him for it to happen.
"I'm not a drama streamer, so I'm not going to address it, but"
Phil’s delusional prattle about how he needs to “protect” the chat from Drama is the weirdest Opposite Day nonsense in the snortex.
