Also the whole catching somebody either 1) on the rebound, 2) as they are trying to get out of a perceived toxic relationship or 3) who has issues deeper than the 1st 2 items. There's a reason the only 2 relationships (as in friends or more) that this clown has had while living in Seattle are people he could just chit chat with online. He has nothing to offer even his cat, who is declawed and probably has no toys to play with except Phil's wires and Kat's jelly rolls.

DSP touts his move to Seattle as his biggest achievement. Yet like other things he brags about, it's dumb. He spent thousands to move across the country to live in a middle condo unit in a bland suburb. It's not like he moved for a job or even because he likes the Pacific Northwest.

He could stream, marry Fat Kat, order door dash etc in pretty much any medium to large metro area. His move to WA was the dumbest thing he did.

He also did it in the dumbest and laziest way possible considering he

a) bought a new place after about 48 hours of house-hunting; not terrible, especially if he and Leanna really fell in love with the place, except he also

b) fucking abandoned his current dwelling without making any attempt to sell it or negotiate with the mortgage holder and, on account of this, moved with no fucking furniture and so had to

c) immediately run out and drop four, possibly five figures on new furniture via predatory monthly payment plans as soon as he and Leanna were in Washington. He also

d) moved into a place without so much as fucking blinds on the windows and instead of watching a few YouTube tutorials and humping it down to the local Lowe’s he paid to fly both his parents out so they could use the drill for him. He continues to be miserable because he

e) bought a place without central air, presumably because he did zero research on the climate of the area he was moving into so now his whole audience gets to hear about how hot he is when the outside air temperature breaks 63 degrees Fahrenheit.

Phil is a retard and if he is bragging about having schlepped fifteen boxes of his nerd jerk-off fantasy statues at the age of fourty-four then he should kill himself because he’s already in the downward slide of his life. I’ve seen deadbeat dads with more to be proud of than DSP.
 
Hold up, who was Fay again?
A girl from the FGC Phil had asked out for dinner. And get this she actually wanted to go but wanted to pay her own share which greatly offended Phil and led to severe pressure tactics from Phil until Fay told him to fuck off. Heck she repeated it on Alphaism radio and also literally said "I love it when you all cornered him and he clamped up"
 
Watching Phil's Acooma play is actually funny. A complete lack of knowledge about how frame data works will always haunt him. If he would venture over to training mode....just one time he could get a basic bitch visual of what works against what. Have a Akuma do low medium kick to jab, block the low and see what you can get away with. Punish. If you watch the pros you can see that it's always a very simple question. "If he does this can I do that?" Phil never asks any questions, everything is broken. He thinks that blocking an attack or an attack string means it's his turn. I'm not even going to get into his inability to recognize patterns over the long term. He's been blindsided by wake up supers and dragon punches way too often.

Also his resource management speaks for itself. He finds himself bankrupt but continues to try to spend meter.


Edit: I just realized that in the one genre where you are more respected for NOT going in blind and doing your research ahead of time, Phil opts not to do any research whatsoever. No guides, no youtube video tutorials. Nothing. If he played SF6 like he plays dark souls or elden ring and let people coach him through it, he would be a much better player. Did he ever watch the video Diaphone did on him? It was pretty constructive and had a lot of helpful hints.

DSPs brain seems to clear the cache memory every couple of minutes for some reason. It's not even an inability to recognize patterns at this point, it's like he only has ability to retain memories for a couple of minutes at most.
 
Phil could live in Wyoming and his life would be exactly the same. Except he'd have saved a lot on owning his place.

The part that's wild to me is Phil picked the most cookie cutter boring suburb imaginable. Renton has no personality especially not the gated community he spends 95% of his time in. It's proximity to Seattle also is meaningless because he refuses to go into the city. He could literally be anywhere in suburban America and have the EXACT same lifestyle.

Dood, he had to move out of state as quick as possible so he could stop paying income tax and not realize he had to pay business taxes.

The fact that he moved out there mostly for taxes purposes(and probably to isolate Leanna) and completely disregarded the cost of living and somehow didn't realize he had to pay business taxes is the funniest part of the WA move. His crowning acheivement in life, the real adult cahndo house was a complete fuck up due to his own lack of research and he is now stuck there until the day he dies since he wants to get a home equity loan as soon as possible.

Might have to do with his ego in pride.

You see back in the day, you would have to go to the arcade, okay? Allow me to explain. Philip would get dropped off at the Arcade while Linda would go shopping for some useless household appliance she saw on a Sears ad. So the only time to learn is that simple 2 hour timeframe.

Then you had to have a little date with her and get your haircut together. Then you ask her to go to Toys r' Us and beg for one of the new toy because you really need it since it can shoot a rocket launcher or something stupid.

That's how the real OGs learned street fighter.

He also traded 6.35% sales tax and a 5-6% income tax in CT for a 10.35% sales tax and about a 0.5-1.5% B&O tax in WA.

And considering that his income dropped and he's a super consumer who spends every penny of his income, not to mention the other cost of living adjustments of WA vs CT, at best his tax bill overall is the same and at worse he's paying more.

Oh and CT has been adjusting their income tax down and it's getting closer to 4% now.

Phil can't do that because unlike Soulslike games, his enemies in Street Fighter aren't hardcoded bosses with patterns that can be explained to him exactly as they'll happen on screen, or he can't use obscenely overpowered builds to cheese.

Nobody can tell him what to do beforehand, and even if there was a magical guide that told him how to prepare in a specific way against a specific other player, that other player could change up the strategy and that still screws Phil over.

The only way to be good at a fighting game is to actually understand how the game works, and Phil...well, Phil can't fucking beat LEGO Star Wars and struggles with Mario, games meant for children. I legit think his brain actually might have an issue where he's unable to process information fast enough - maybe he did, once, and that got him to EVO 4th, but that's clearly not Phil now who is barely functional enough to get out of the house once a week for groceries.

To be fair, boring with no personality sounds exactly like Phil.
 
I'm curious over what Phil's top 3 type of games that makes him rage the most are?
  1. Fighting games
  2. F/TPS games
  3. ?
I would say that fighting games are easily the number 1 on the list since he takes such pride in his history with them and when he starts to lose he falls so deep and hard right away, while F/TPS (shooter) games are in second place, they dont make him rage as hard as fast as fighters, but getting killed a few times in a row will get his blood starts to boil.
What i'm unsure of is what genre would come in third, perhaps retros, but he doesn't play them that as often and he only tends to get angry over JRPGs when they stop bringing in views and money.

In regards to yeserdays SF6 fun revival stream i would say that when ever he faces Cammy, he loses the match before it even have started!

Both the way he speaks and moves his body says "I can't beat her, i lost!" right away, if you assume that you have already lost you wont try to win and it's a main reason why he keeps on losing to Cammy's.


I am pretty desensitized and can listen to The Guy without getting angry or even annoyed, but there is one aspect of his speeches that pisses me off. The insinuations that his content "doesn't hurt anyone". The dumbass can't spend an hour without insulting
- twitch/YouTube
- gaming companies/developers
- CEOs and other people in power
- detractors
- people who watch his detractors
- the "fans" in his chat
- his opponents
- randoms who had the misfortune of interacting with him at some point (and didn't agree with him)
- delivery services
- the Cannon brothers (there's gotta be a special place for them)
- etc.

But of course, small things like "10 years of failure" in regards to his "content" are harmful and untrue. I wonder if he seriously thinks that insulting everyone around him (except Kat, who he belittles in a different way) is completely fine and not hurtful/toxic at all? Its a small miracle he never got beat up badly for real. His paranoia definitely helps.
He is stuck in "Back in the day", when he could say derogatory things to people in the arcades and believe that it came of as a joke to everyone, he both failed then and now to realize that even if he thinks what he says is a joke, actually hurt someone, only they didnt always show it outwards.

Phil has never left the arcades and the behaviour that existed there.

I still don't understand how those two got together
Phil was in a position of trust to Panda, he was a YT creator that seemingly lived a lazy and easy life while money keep flowing in and she was a fan of his.

She was like 17? People are rarely smart at that age.
He claim he did nothing until she was 18, but knowing Phil, he is not a quick or charming person, he most likely needed to work her over some time, which is why i believe he was already in contact with Kat before he and Panda broke up.

While I agree with your energy about how stupid that was. It was even stupider; his mom offered to buy him a bed set from a store in Connecticut, and there was another store in Seattle where the furniture could be delivered. The problem was that the store was pretty upscale (Basset). The 4 sets that he narrowed it down to on video were between 3k to 5k for just the dresser, dresser vanity and 2 night tables. Watch the videos, its actually hilarious to see what he focuses on when he's looking at the merchandise.


This guy is such a fucking mark, that he was selling himself on spending thousands of his parent's dollars on the furniture that he would buy himself. Instead of being reasonable and taking the bare minimum and buying as they went along, this was the option he chose.

He really is a generational mark and beggar.

Sports games. That Switch Mario Tennis game castrated him live in front of 200 people.
