Phil get featured for the most mundane shit
I understand it feels/looks that way, and it's honestly something I consider when even thinking of posting something DSP-related into the Community Happenings thread. But with DSP, it's almost never something that's self-contained. It's usually a thing that reaches some kind of climax after building up over time, sometimes years, due to DSP's hihgly unlikable personality traits, such as (but not limited to):
- massively narcissistic
- contrarian
- irresponsible (shifting the blame)
- easily angered
- huge lack of self-awareness
- anti-social
- know-it-all
- shameless (begging for money)
So yeah, you always have to see a DSP-happening as the puzzle piece of a big puzzle (pun intended), and when you understand the bigger picture, it's funny/entertaining as hell. And yes, there's so much lore and details contained within the DSPverse, some smaller than others, that it's hard to keep up without relatively closely following his shenanigans. Each DSP subject has its own history and lore, and most of them are intertwined with each other; the "podcast" (pre-stream), his Street Fighter history, gaming as a whole, his streams as a whole, the way he handles and/or intereacts with his audience/supporters, other internet personalities etc. etc. The list could goes on and on.
But that's the whole point of the Happenings thread, is it not? To bring this stuff to the attention of a wider audience and to include more people in the pointing and laughing. It's basically an invitation.
I mean, it's kind of the same with Chris-Chan: sometimes him being spotted with some random nobody is "big" news, and if you don't know the history and deeper lore, you might think "Ok, why the fuck is this so interesting?". But when you dig a little deeper, you kind of get the idea, which in turn makes it more interesting/entertaining.
But yeah, I do get that to some (most?) people DSP happpenings come off as mundane, I'm not contesting that.
