i swear his sf6 commentary has devolved so far from his early rages. he just repeats the words safe, pattern, play, scrub, mash, jab, online, and dood in random order inbetween begs. gone are the days where we would get a kino 15 minute rant about how the cannon brothers personally ruined his life by stealing his ranked points or something.

Ya SF6 post KC has been pretty bad compared to the earlier stuff. The focus is just so much on the money now and he is scared to play ranked cause he doesn't play it enough or whatever so he gets way more free wins then before.

I click back 5 minutes on the stream and it's just talk about we need to hit 80 goals so we can plan the 100 goals shit it's just exhausting.

There was that funny point last year when he watched 1 Akuma video and literally whined about "frame advantage" for a few weeks before ditching him completely. That was a bit different.

The MVC2 whining was unique, as it was only blaming lag & online, since he couldn't use character-based whining because he too was using top tier teams. But seeing the same excuses across games is helpful.
The whole problem is that Phil has the ICS money buff since he's dumping so much lately. Once ICS empties his bank account or fucks off, then we're gonna be see major meltdowns a week after.
Post-streak, during this ICS whaling session, any time 2 streams (1 day) have been slow, we've gotten massive whining, begging & coping the next day. Anything more than 2 might get an emergency stream. Remember that he does not budget, so all of a sudden making 3x what he used to is pretty much the worst thing that can happen to a chronic spender like Phil. The second that's gone he's going to be fucked.
 
idk I'll be optimistic and say I hope DSP starts interacting with more people outside of his little hugbox and starts to not react the way he normally does to people poking a bit of fun at him.

I'm still open for a DSP redemption arc. No matter how "bad" of a person he is he could still redeem himself and improve himself.
Kudos to you, not that you need it from me or anyone else here, for remaining hopeful. I know you have been observing Phil for a long time and it is easy to hate the man even in a much shorter span of time. I just don't see it happening. The man is a hard hearted reprobate that has proven time and time again that he will choose the worst, most destructive choice possible.

From a secular perspective, the man has had wake up call after wake up call and still hasn't changed course. Bankruptcy is a common turning point for people where you look at yourself and start to get your act together. Has that changed Phil? No. Almost getting physically beat by members of the FGC should have been another. He skated out of those situations unscathed and did that humble him at all? No. I just don't see it with Phil. His natural posture is to be an obstinate child and don't think anything in this life can have a lasting enough impact on him to change him. Kind of like Ethan Ralph.

From a faith based perspective (because Phil went to the Catholic School with the hot nuns), it would take a Road To Damascus moment to change Phil. If it could take Saul of Tarsus who killed follower of Christ and change him into Paul who suffered death for Christ, then Phil who takes advantage of the mentally handicapped and is a chronic liar can be something more. My theology is Predeterministic enough to believe it is possible be it God's Will but I am too Free Will to believe that Phil won't always be presented with a choice. Just my take though.
 
From his humiliation ritual with Triple P (that's what I call him, Triple P) it caught my attention how he retconned the 25 pushups to "oh I was just messing around". This faggot just lies even without reason, especially to a person who (from what I remember) did watch the infamous 25 push ups video on stream. It's just so weird to me, like the video is out there and he throws a tantrum when he's not given the 25 dollars. I get that "Ash" already thinks Phil is a fat fucking liar, but this is just insulting the guy's intelligence (which may not be much but still).

Also, just how fucking weak you have to be that you can't even do one single push up properly? I'm not a gymbro or a particularly fit person by any means, but even at my fattest, most sedentary point I was capable of doing 5, 10 at most. I just can't imagine being so weak unless I was a in a coma for a year. Like damn, that's terrifying, being so physically weak is actually a scary thought, no wonder he never leaves his house, even Jayde would fold him in an instant.

Seriously, stay healthy bros. Don't even hit the gym, just take a walk.
 
I love the FGC forum era. He was just getting destroyed left and right with no power to censor any of it, but his ego was too big to stop talking shit.
The best thing about it was DSP writing up those supremely long-winded 5 paragraph replies only to be met by at least half a dozen people just calling him a retard, to which Phil would write another supremely long-winded 5 paragraph reply. Rinse and repeat.

Are conditions of equipment still a thing in this game? I'm ure DSP neglects the conditions of his armor all the time, or just flat out refuses to upgrade his stuff like he does so many other games.
Yes and he doesn't engage with any mechanics as you said. Also, his "every game is a ripoff of another" autism showed in the first stream when he tried repairing Makarovs by "combining" them like it's Fallout 3/NV. He also refuses to go artifact hunting which would buff his stats and which is the easiest way to make money in the games. He doesn't explore at all and just beelines towards quest markers as with every other game.

His lowest lows are what you mentioned, and I guess Leanna telling him to fuck off, and none of those changed him. He's been coddled so long by parents and even the whales who always eventually show up that he'll never hit rock bottom until much later in life. Bankruptcy is probably the biggest reset button you can get and did nothing with it, which says a lot.

I've done counseling for people coming out of Ch 7 and it's very easy to have a pretty solid score going into the 5th year after discharge. Just by not being a fuck up you can have a 750 score right after 7 years.

So just in the last 6 months, we've gotten the WWE Champions admission, "misspeaking" about tax money going to other things, and now this, and these are all multi year lies, not just 1 offs where it never was brought up again. And he still gets mad when people question his honesty, like there's any reason to believe a word he says about the most innocent of things.
 
Fucking son of a bitch goddamnit. A wrestling podcast???? No. I will not get sucked in. I have not followed Phil closely for like 3 years, checking in once every like 6 months. I will not get sucked in. I will not.

The writers are really outdoing themselves this season. I'll admit, the last few seasons have been kind of boring slogs with some moments of excitement here and there, but it's starting to look like this show is gonna get that groove back, get that vibe back. I never would have guessed he would turn into a foot fetish streamer who moonlights as the KC's gimp. I'm tuning back in every day.
 
phi will never change. he isnt a person in his mid 20s that had a bad childhood. he is a 42y old mature adult with a business degree that has created a life of apparent confort(to himself at least) full of avoidance so that he never have to face any self reflection.
the alchool, the mobile game addiction,the money/begging addiction,the fat authistic wife,the spending addiction,the constant negative attitude and complaints about everything. ALl of it is in place for him to avoid having to self reflect and fix his life.

keep in mind the guy has never travelled once. were talking someone making 120k++ a year making his own schedule and a wife working part time.

he could easily monetize his traveling but hes too big of an idiot to do it.

He is absolutely serious in that video. No hint he was just joking. It was also more than a 25. I think it was a 100 or 50 dollars no?
 
it would take a Road To Damascus moment to change Phil
At the end of a teenage argument that he’d decided had gone on too long, my dad dropped the following on me. I’ve never forgotten it: “[IVAN], Jesus Christ (pointing at crucifix above mantle) could get down off his cross, tell you you’re wrong, and then you’d argue with him.”

I don’t remember the argument but I took the lesson, or tried to. You have to be able to climb down, for any number of reasons that don’t include being wrong. Phil would argue with Jesus off the cross.

Different topic: What the fuck happened to his voice? It’s shockingly different from say 2018 and now.
