When was the last time Phil had fun with a video game? I can't remember a time when he's ever been happy to play a video game, even when super chats are rolling in he's miserable. Would it be street fighter when he's winning? I'm kind of a layman when it comes to DSP's actual streams because they seem boring as fuck.

He'd be better off finding games that are generally accepted as shit to bitch about them.
Phil is a salty cunt even when he wins in Street Fighter. He's happy about .001% of the time when he gets the odd win over a good player, but he purposely avoids playing them. He smurfs and he hates the grind of doing it.

Other than WWE Champions which you can't really count as a game, Phil only seems to enjoy some old RPGs from his youth like Final Fantasy, but even with those he has to act like the all-knowing master of these games which he absolutely isn't. WWE 2K games as well, but he refuses to play them for stupid reasons.

Reminder: DSP isn't depressed though according to some dumb niggers in this thread and in the detractorsphere.

Holy shit I would unironically fucking off myself if I had to play games for a living at his age, especially 5-6 days a week. I already got bored of them a while ago and only play very particular games anymore, I cannot imagine being his age and having to play shit you actively hate every day. He must be extremely happy personally though, definitely not depressed.

not only was he enjoying himself, he was also fairly knowledgeable about the game
So here is where you realize how much Phil fucking sucks as a content curator. WWEC is a game he enjoys and is happy about, but he couldn't make it stick. Why? I want to point to a couple things:

He doesn't actually come across as knowledgeable about the game. I know it was confusing for all of us that for once DSP was able to talk about something other than "smooth 60fps" or "the graphics look HD" but if you really look at it, everything he says about WWEC's """"""gameplay""""""" boils down to "oh this character sucks", "oh we have to do this bullshit level but it's fine because we overbuffed our sweatyman", "oh this skin used to be good but now it sucks".

As someone who watches other gachaslop, other streamers for other gacha games talk about "here's a build that you can use with this character that can last you for a long time", "here's the most optimal way you can get the most pulls for this event with your F2P stuff", etc. In reality, other content creators for predatory gachaslop thrive on making content for the F2P crowd. I don't know if that's possible or not for WWEC but Phil I imagine never actually plays the F2P side of that game, he only dumps as much money in it so he can overlevel and get the sweatyman with the best moves and top the event. That's all well and good if his content was about continuously doing pulls until he gets shiny new sweatyman of the week, but he's unable to do that because he didn't use DFTR AND he monetized the pulls so that he'll only do a megapull for a big tip.

Because Phil is a fucking idiot and has no sense for entertainment or content at all.
 
DSP marathon for hitting a support goal:

3 hour prestream, at best 2 hours of gameplay total and the rest is begging and guilt tripping for only $500 and loses paypigs

Normal streamer marathon for hitting a support goal:

15 minute stream intro, easily 10+ hours of gameplay of whatever the fans want even the worst shit with zero begging or guilt tripping and drinks just because it's a festive mood, makes multiple thousands easily and probably gains viewers and fans

Wonder which one of these styles is better?
Or alternatively: a good streamer vets the games that are nominated, strikes the ones that don't fit but says "Some suggestions don't fit this type of marathon but they look interesting and seem to have you interested as well so I will try to fit them in my schedule in month x" But what do I know I am just a braindead mouthdrooling moron right? I am not the talent here (yes that is something he said when he refused Machinima the first time "I am the talent so I won't put your damn intro into my own video"

This is true considering I was big into Marvel Strike Force(free2play user) and I used to watch Mobilegamer365 & Khasino all the time to get the best builds. they would always speak on why the characters are good, why these characters have synergy and the best abilities and strategy to use every turn in a battle.

Motherfucker is drunk as fuck. Had to replay it several times to understand what he was saying.
First thought he said "pee in my lay" which I thought he fucked up and meant "pee on my leg".
But he actually meant "Pee in my lake".
How about you stop being a mush mouth retard Phil.

Poorly constructed, viscerally off-putting, often scat-based, images are typical for DSP but his gross speeches are getting to me more. Watching that awful face stroke talk about someone pissing in a lake and nothing being affected the phrase that leapt to mind was “body horror.” It’s all needles in eyeballs and fireworks exploding in hands these days.

A lazy slob gets to make more than the average worker by playing vidya all day? And he gets paid to devour fast-food semi-regularly?

That confirms it, DSP is depressed. Fuck we really are a bunch of dumb mouth-drooling niggers!

I take it you and some others in this thread have never met ridiculously wealthy yet ridiculously unhappy people? I have. Money isn't all its cracked up to be. Especially not when you're saddled under debt and a debilitating gambling addiction.

Would you sacrifice 8 hours a day to play games you hate and be made fun of by everyone? Not for one day but to do the same thing for 10 years? If you were doing that would you be drowning your sorrows in a bottle of gin and trying to find the answers to life at the bottom of a bottle?
 
DSP's "I was depressed" stories pre-date his current hamster-wheel lifestyle of hating vidya and having debt anyways. Every single time he's told an "I was depressed" story it was directly related to being rejected by women or being mocked in the FGC etc. It's always linked to a moment of self-pity, which is why I have never believed him.

He talks about depression like he talks about weed or partying; repeating what he sees in dumb movies.

His stories about "I was depressed" are just attempts at excusing shitty behavior usually.
That still doesn't mean he's not depressed and since he is such a prolific liar about everything I wouldn't listen to a single thing that comes out of his mouth about his feelings. But in any case he spends a lot more time saying how happy and fulfilling his life is - almost as if he is coping hard because he knows he's not happy.
 
Meltdown over Minecraft mods being difficult. 30 minutes late because he didn't move all the files needed into the correct folder.

Maybe just do what millions of other people do and use a fucking launcher that does all the work for you retard.
He really is incapable of researching anything or reading anything.

What really makes me MATI at his Minecraft java streams is how he calls them "modded" while having no gameplay mods or anything that would make it feel modded.

Shaders don't count especially since he can't even go a step further and install a ressource pack.

It's all performative art for the Jaydes.
 
I actually felt a twinge of sympathy that his fans weren't more receptive to those. From what others have said, not only was he enjoying himself, he was also fairly knowledgeable about the game. If those had taken off, Phil would have been happier, his fans would have been happy to watch their master and the detractors would have laughed at the fact that he'd be spending even more on WWEC than he normally does. Everyone would have won.

TJ Gamebox said even with WWEChampions Piggies knowledge is basic bitch bare minimum and he was apparently wrong more often than not there too.:stress:

Interesting analogy. Y'know I heard LTG's girlfriend just left him because he asked her for a golden shower. I wonder if the scatology style humour annoys Kat enough that she'll leave.

A good streamer wouldn't have to vet shit. They have this uncanny ability to work with any game and any topic on the fly and still be entertaining. And Phil fails to grasp that. I just really don't understand how he justifies doing the bare minimum (turning on the television and playing a game) as being a content creator.
