So Phil says he might do a modded Skyrim run but doesn't know how. Isn't Kat is a huge (lol) fan of the game? That sounds like the perfect game for a "chill" co-op playthrough, or at the very least something to talk with her about.
I think she only plays the vanilla version, so like most things she'll be useless to help with mods. But that'd be a funny co-op to see her inner Rainman come out, spitting facts about Skyrim and snapping at Phil for interrupting the cut scenes. We'll see how long Phil can last being the side character on stream just reading chat while holding out a sweet roll with a flat hand for Khet.
 
PPP kind of made fun of him about this a few days ago, it went over his head and this was the only part of PPP's critique that sunk in. It's hard to explain sometimes just how stupid and delusional and fat DSP is.
I'd like to say at least for me how fucking tiresome it is that guys like Porkchop (that's what I call him Porkchop) keep going over the same territory and don't talk about the one simple truth that'll ensure Piggy will keep doing what he does so long as there is one dent out there who pays forty bucks a day to play Pokemon and it's thus: the foundation of his income comes from the tens of thousands of slop videos he shits out and has been for a decade and change, yes they get less than a thousand views each but when you got like what forty thousand videos at a penny a pop guess what that's enough someone to live off of and get a part time job making fuck money as Virgil would call it.
 
Totally not a punchable face.

PPP took huge shots at him last smark guys to the point where almost anyone else would've left the show but DSP just keeps on trucking and copes with how PPP is just playing detractor and it's totally cool for him to shit on him for over an hour, call his wife fat and say his content is shit and his channel is dead.

DSP's legacy is done as far as his channel views go so it's not really even worth bringing up he killed whatever he had for sure with how bad his content has been for the last few years. All his on demand viewers left.

I think that was the crux of his argument. Not that he plays video games, but that he keeps making the same stupid mistakes that hinder his progress. He said the words "I don't want to see you playing video games in 20 years" which meant "You shouldn't have to be working in 20 years". But dsp heard "You should be talking politics, and doing drama content instead of video games".

PPP thinks that if DSP was smarter about the things he said, and didn't squander his opportunities he could make a lot of money. And DSP is way too dumb to understand this correct advice.
 
Its a new week, why are you talking about something that happened last week?

Holy shit that kinda mental gymnastics.

It happened last week dood, its old news now, like that excuses you from the fact it happened.
Tell you not to worry about stuff that happened a week+ ago.

Can list off every steamer/company/boss/friend/classmate/etc that has barely slighted him in the last three decades.

What did phil mean by this?

So Phil says he might do a modded Skyrim run but doesn't know how. Isn't Kat is a huge (lol) fan of the game? That sounds like the perfect game for a "chill" co-op playthrough, or at the very least something to talk with her about.

This is why I think these two retards are made for eachother and somewhat enjoy their cohabitation in the slime pit. What are the odds that two mongoloids meet each other who are both so retarded they cant understand mods, yet so autistic they play vanilla skyrim/bethesda games over and over and never get board? (Also both so fat they devoured the 28+ turkish candybars in a single weekend?)
 
You know, I really enjoyed Suikoden games; to the point where I can say they're good and I enjoyed them and remember enjoying them. On top of that, I can also say I remember basic shit that Phil is apparently unable to remember. Maybe it's because I didn't sour my brain matter with dangerous levels of alcohol; but I can remember a good deal about most of the games I played and the ones I truly did enjoy. But Phil, if it's not Super Turbo, nothing's retained.

Phil not getting how to utilize the orb, orb pieces, and weapon upgrading is like, battle system 101 for the game. He doesn't have a grasp on basic shit like characters and their weapon ranges. There's three ranges for every battle capable character;

S = Short \\ Can only attack from the front row and can only attack the enemy front row.
M = Medium \\ Can attack from the front or back row and can only attack the enemy front row.
L = Long \\ Can attack from the front or back row and can attack the enemy front or back row.

This would make you engage your brain a bit, and organize your party so the character and their weapon types are in the proper place. There are exceptions to this, like Luc, who has a S weapon type, but is a mage archetype, meaning he's low HP and low Physical Defense. He may not be able to attack with his weapon in the backrow, but that's because he can demolish shit with his True Wind Rune. Then there's Flik, he's also a S weapon type, but is more of an Arcane Knight type, so he can hang in the front row, bash heads with his sword, as well as use his Thunder Rune. It's not that deep of a system, but just something you have to consider when making a party. But Phil can't remember anything basic like that; he's clueless about where you go to attach orbs (despite Jeane being in every fucking game), he's clueless about certain blacksmiths only capable of upgrading weapons to certain levels, and a whole host of other things. There is no fucking memory here Phil, you fucking read a guide, probably misinterpreted most of it, and are pretending you know what's going on; when someone had to fucking remind you to remove anything of use from Odessa before she died, which is like, the second big plot point in the early game, right after Ted being killed, you fucking reprobate.

Not that I'd expect him to, especially not without save scumming, but if he even makes it that far; Teo McDohl is gonna claim Pahn's head, and probably get Tir's head a few times. His storyline duels aren't something to bumblefuck your way through.

PPP thinks that if DSP was smarter about the things he said, and didn't squander his opportunities he could make a lot of money. And DSP is way too dumb to understand this correct advice.
Despite having a degree in business/finance, he missed every fucking single opportunity presented to him; because he always had to "be true to myself." Which is basically doing the bare fucking minimum. In the old days, just barrage YouTube with endless fucking videos, and now he just fucking begs. Then he talks out of both sides of his mouth about how he's obstinate and doesn't want to change, and also doesn't want to change because he doesn't want to pretend to be a shill and play the game. The problem is, he holds himself in such a high regard when there's no reason to, he's not some fucking exemplar of morality and behavior, but he thinks his legacy will be what it is in his head, and not what the wider community sees him as.

Also, even his tech is a detractor now, freezing and giving us StrokeFacePhil;

It's funny how I can take a break, comeback to the vortex and still hear him talking about:

-Buying alcohol to drink on stream
-The next DSP Tries It will be special... when the goals are hit
-RPG Overload
-I can't play video games forever...
-Get the support rolling on the podcast so I can relax during the gameplay

It's like I never left :) Looking forward to the new season of taxes though, hopefully the writers go all out this time around
It all honestly feels really strange at the moment. He's doing shit like banning his top paypig and trying his hardest to have a redemption run and there's few real dents left. PPP is basically openly telling him that he sucks dick as a livestreamer currently and he can't even comprehend that.

Plus there's all this recent "behind the scenes" talk which has happened before but I'm very curious what is going to happen in the next season. I don't think he has the raw dent power to do "emergency pay my taxes" streams anymore and I'm genuinely curious that if he had a real emergency how many people would even tune it.

The duck guy (AugustusTheDuck, who has 2m subscribers) made his video about DSP just yesterday and it got 200k views in 24h and it doesn't look like it even mattered because DSP's prestream had the same abysmal numbers it always does - he has way less viewers than he had back in the day when you were watching him.

Something weird or big is afoot but I can't quite put my finger on it.
 
Lmao, not only is his main camera is constantly freezing and refusing to work, but now his capture device and the other camera turned off as well. I guess not doing research about PC parts and getting a pre-built PC with a shit-tier motherboard and power supply is not the best way to go. Who would've thought? Literally every stream there as been at least one tech issue since he got the new PC.

But luckily it's not his fault. He did nothing wrong.

EDIT: Gameplay has been paused, impromptu tech issue segment has started! (read: having dents find solutions for him)

EDIT2: Every time he tries to start one camera, the other one stops working. :story:

Don't forget he uses elaborate USB hubs and extension cables that are like 20 years old. Most likely he has a bunch of USB 3 shit plugged into one of the hubs and it can't support the bandwidth necessary for it.

So it's not really his computer crapping out, it is most likely his shitty USB hubs getting gangbanged by 200 devices.

Also: he could change the settings in OBS to reduce the resolution and other shit to make it work better.

Does anyone know what webcams he is using?

I like when he bitches about his tech and calls it shit.

You bought it Phil, the shit tech is your tech, and being your tech is your duty to fucking work on and figure out. Not that he'd ever fucking do that, because he has to pay Kat's bills to hang out with her or whatever, but this is BusinessSydePhil, failing at every fucking metric.

Shitty USB Hub and probably an underpowered PSU.

Oh, we got someone in the stream chat saying I need to lower my camera resolution. HOW WILL YOU FUCKING SEE WHAT I'M DOING IF I DO THAT?! DUMMY!

Phillip x Tech is one of my favorite segments because computers can break and stop working for multiple reasons. The nuance of his problems will go over his head and if the problem is dumb enough we might even get multiple sessions of old man fixing tech problems on stream. It's so obvious how much he believes on the idea of I PAYED BIG MONEY SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT WITHOUT ANY FRICTION.

"See what I mean? There is no consistency. No one can even agree. We got one person saying it's my motherboard, one person saying it could be power, one saying it's NOT power, so how do I know anything? Modern tech sucks."

Welcome to the world of asking random people online to fix your PC when they can't even look through your shit. Good luck with that.
 
"See what I mean? There is no consistency. No one can even agree. We got one person saying it's my motherboard, one person saying it could be power, one saying it's NOT power, so how do I know anything? Modern tech sucks."
He's not entirely wrong, but like I said to one of my cousins yesterday (because they were giving me the, "You do amazing things with computers" and thinking I like them or something); "I prefer mechanical engineering to electrical engineering, my proximity to computers makes me hate them on a level basic people cannot comprehend." Yes, modern tech sucks, and most of it has to do with companies sticking computers/microchips in everything (give me a purely mechanical car, for fuck's sake, PLEASE). The problem is, Phil's such a caveman, it sucks because it doesn't do what he wants it to do, and when presented with a myriad of possible answers, instead of understanding that one problem can be because of a number of different issues, he gets pissy that there's no consensus about what it is. Welcome to fucking diagnosis Phil, go on WebMD and type in a few common problems, and you'll have everything from the Common Cold to Stage 4 Leukemia; it's the same thing with computers, you have a problem, you have to narrow down the cause. And then he fucking yells at people who are throwing ideas at him.

Useless fucking nigger cattle with your retarded ass schedule and scared of interacting with anyone in person at a local repair shop and unwilling to do anything major himself. DO YOU WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED OR NOT FUCKHEAD?!

Depends on the hub and port. Thunderbolt 4 uses USB-C and supports bandwidths of ~40Gbps, which is way above anything Phil can rape his motherboard with. Most powered hubs are rated for something similar, so if I had to guess he's either using an unpowered dock or a non-Thunderbolt port.
 
DSP is using multiple Insta360 Link 2 webcam, which costs about $200 (found it on pigpiggo). DSP claims these are cheap but $200 for a webcam is very expensive.

specs:

The specs imply it is USB 2.0 but it would not surprise me at all if DSP has all the settings cranked to the highest possible levels as well as the AI tracking and bokeh tools possible.

Some people say there are lots of issues with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Insta360/comments/1ib0isa/insta_360_link_2_i_do_not_recommend/

TLDR: moronsydephil went and bought the most expensive webcams possible and they have issues

Not that I'm a streamer or anything; but if there's one thing I learned about tech, is that unless you're going for some unique setup, it's best to take shit from office spaces, as they're generally seen as reliable. That being said, LogiTech may have the rep of being low cost office shit; but office shit works, mice, keyboards, and yes, even their webcams, especially with more Remote Work and other shit happening. They can handle 1080, generally reliable, and under $50; but they're not marketed towards streamers/gaymers.
