Very true. I lost a great friend to alcoholism a couple years ago. Guy just couldn't stop, he would get up first thing in the morning and pour a drink and just keep going all day long, every day. His eyes were yellow from jaundice because his liver had started to fail the last time I saw him before he passed. Really sad. I'm sure Phil has never been even close to that bad, he probably drinks more than he should but not full blown alcoholic.
So many people he just has this hate-on for that I really want to know why. Bobby Kodachek. Phil Spencer. Troy Baker. The Cannon brothers. Pewdiepie. John Stamos. Geoff Keighley. Kojima. Guys who wouldn't know him but he's somehow been personally offended by. Ironic coming from me. But whats funny is Phil's lack of self awareness when he talks shit about these people especially Phil Spencer.
It's the classic "narcissist malds about more successful people" shtick mixed with most of the aforementioned individuals slightly mildly inconveniencing him once or twice like a decade ago. The guy holds grudges worse than any woman ever could, and I'd wager a guess and say that he's still likely mad over not getting the Wolverine toy immediately when he was like 10 and getting coal in his stocking as a joke when he was like 15.
Not Phil. He’s a fucking champion (of faggotry) at life in his own head and no where else. You could show him studies, articles any sort of info on addicts and alcoholics and he would read it while simultaneously trying to insert his the Phil logic into it.
On a similar note, he goes through life acting as if he's never been told "no" before. That's why he's still so upset about the Cologne Idea getting rejected. Go back and look at that stream. Nobody really insults him in his chat. Like 7 dents just say it was something they wouldn't pay for. That's it. But Phil has extrapolated that over time, into being thousands of people calling him an idiot. (Which it was but only on restreams). He's so thin skinned and ready to flip out over nothing. A real glass cannon.
There was a part of me that hoped his oppositional-defiant disorder would've kicked in during that pitch and doubled down on the cologne reviews just because I'm curious about how in the world he imagined in his delusional grandoor brain this idea would be the next big revolutionary idea of content creation. I honestly think the larpers should've glazed the fuck out of this idea purely for scientific curiosity, even if it crashes and burns after one stream.
Personally, I only think he has some sort of spending addiction and it manifests in a myriad of ways, the major one currently being his compulsion on spending money on sweaty boiz in WWE Champs.
I think he's just addicted to spending money. he admitted to spending a shit ton of money on amazon monthly. however, he's too dumb to spend this money on REAL things that could help him (i.e. fixing the bathroom). instead he spends money on toys and jpegs. I bet downstairs is full of empty amazon prime boxes.
I've heard if you choke yourself and pull a 6 star Hogan right before you pass out it feels the same as a heroin high.
he definitely drinks every single day. its highly likely that he's developed some kind of chemical dependency to it by this point
Gotta correct one thing here. He definitely doesn’t "hate" John Stamos. He just always uses him as his example of a hot guy. I interpret this to mean:
Can you imagine DSP sharing in an AA meeting about how alcohol has affected his life? Everyone that had to listen to him would be off the wagon that same day... thinking about the DSP / AA tangent, imagine trying to be DSP's sponsor, you don't even have to worry about steps #2-12, getting him to clear #1 is nigh impossible...
It depends on the person, everyone's body reacts differently to alcohol withdrawals, some people have seizures, some get Delerium Termin's (hands shaking), some folks have no medical issues and just replace drinking alcohol with coffee/etc. It has to do with the habit of having a drink in your hand or near you, doesn't really matter after a while what is in the cup. Think of people that smoke cigarettes, everyone tells them it's an oral fixation, so they switch to Nicorette gum, for some people the gum works, others just aren't going to stop smoking.
