Phil confirmed he isn't gonna watch any E3 conferences live if they're early in the morning. Classic.

He's still pulling that shit?
"Early morning" to that slob is 10:30am and I'm not joking about that. Remember 2015 when he refused to watch Microsoft's conference because it was around that time of the morning.
Maybe if he wasn't up until 5:00am sometimes watching movies and playing mobile games, he'd have a more adult sleep schedule.
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

The best part is that he tried to pull his usual 'It's illegal!' schtick about it

Curious to see what happens, I know paypal refused a donation chargeback of someone in the tune of 50,000 dollars, but 240$? I'm sure we'll hear about it either way

edit: phil also instantly went into party chat to avoid "trolls" today in f13, making the stream painful and boring to watch as usual.

And miserable. I can't blame Phil for not wanting to wake up early in the morning (if I could, I'd sleep all way through the most detestable part of the day, the dreaded morning!), but hey, if he was serious about his "business", there would be no problem in altering his sleep schedule for a couple of days and watching/reacting to E3. It happens to normal, productive all the time: I usually never wake up on Saturday and Sunday before noon, but whenever I need to so something earlier in these days, I man up, set the alarm clock, and grumble my way to the breakfast.

Even with Viewbots, DSP's "TRIPLE AY" gameplay pales compared to an old as fuck crafter with a guy with actual charisma and knows how to just have fun.

I apologize but this is eternally funny to me.

This is what happens when you sell out to the You Tube/Twitch/Social Media machine. People think they can get in and make money and not have everything they do not looked at and cataloged.

This could actually look okay on a resume if you weren't a complete and utter prick, though. Interviewers do look at gaps in resumes and ask questions about them. If you weren't DSP, you could simply explain you made a lot of money on this weird YouTube bubble and it was fun, so you made a living doing something you liked, but then it dried up.

If you're DSP, though, they're going to look at you, but what you were doing was being an absolute and utter dick and utterly incapable of getting along with even your supposed friends. And then there's the whole jerking off on camera thing. And that you were absolutely shitty at even playing games, if they even watch that long before deciding that your resume goes straight into the trash.

I still like my previous theory that a big part of the move or haste behind the move was to trap Leanna with him away from family and friends. He values Leanna in a way, when not neglecting her like everything else. Not as a person, but as a walking household appliance and probably realizes on some level that his creature comforts would decrease if she was gone.
Click to expand...

The other thing about Leanna is that Phil knows it'd be near-impossible for him to find a replacement for her in his current state. He's a complete shut-in, his internet reputation is shot, and he's much older now than he was when he robbed her from the cradle. I don't see any possibility of Phil meeting a new woman, much less starting a relationship from scratch with them. At least not until he gets a real job. Even then, he'd have to significantly lower his standards.

I think Phil is aware of this, and, as usual, remains in denial that his house of cards is most likely going to collapse.

Edit: Also, I find it pretty funny that despite Phil's total number of patrons dropping steadily, his pledge totals remain fairly consistent. As people pull out, Brightsydeviking is almost certainly picking up the slack. He's probably at least half of that pledge total, at this point.

A fair portion of the content creators that have stuck around for years have acquired and developed skills on their own in video editing, creative commentary, business management, networking, contract negotiation. Phil has done none of that, so even setting aside the jacking off...nobody would want to hire this guy who is completely unmotivated and has stated time and time again on camera at 35 while stressfully placing his hand on his forehead, "I just want to play games and have fun. That's all."
He's doomed.

Trying to peg down the exact day he first talked to her is really just splitting hairs. Maybe he broke the law by a few months, maybe not, but the problem isn't her legal status, but more her status in life. He started dating her before she had a chance to learn any better. So even if she knows in her heart something is wrong, she has nothing to compare it to. When he tells her that she can't get a dog, or she needs to get her sick ass out of bed and cook his dinner, or that she's forbidden from going to the hospital when she thinks her panic attacks are physically hurting her, she has no baseline for knowing that's not how a relationship is supposed to be.

I dont think that Phil is her first BF, im pretty sure she has dated before she came across him, however it never turned out in anything long term because of what ever reason.
I'm also pretty sure that she has some idea about how a relationship works, you don't really grow up in a family without getting some ideas about how it should look, it is possibly she has grown up in a family where the male is the head of the family and the woman does what shes told.

She knows how a family or relationship is supposed to look, to a degree but not completely, she hasn't been living in a closed room until the day she got in contact with Phil.

Taily Puff said:
If he treated her great, and they admitted they got together when she was 17, it'd just be this awkward footnote from their history, and everyone would laugh uncomfortably and move on. But from every glimpse we see, he treats her the exact way that law is there to prevent in the first place. He treats her like he's a gross old man taking advantage of a naive younger girl.

If they were living in my country, people wouldn't care that much more than thinking it is inappropriate for a young girl to see a so much older guy. In the states there are a lot more people with zero tolerance for people seeing or being in this form of contact before their legal age and he is scared the shit out off by them and it is why he claim she was 18 the first time.

You ever notice just recently Phil has been making a point to say he cleans up after dinner and makes it?

The stream last night was the first that i watched in a good while and i noticed how he often claimed he needed to make dinner, but then i had just seen the supposed picture about Leanne leaving and read some theories about it.

"Vidar is not autistic"

Yeah...no.

Also with all these questions around Leanna's whereabouts I'm wondering if she pulled the classic "I'm going to stay with my mother for a bit" routine and is never coming back. Might explain why Gout boy is so pissy these last few days, losing the person who does practically everything around the house and having to do it yourself.

I don't think he used Leanna's info, I think it's more likely that he got a new tax id when he came back to YouTube after blip, because his channel name changed. It would be easy enough to register it as a new business.

The thing about Leanna possibly leaving and Phil reacting weirdly about it is that sometimes he'll do that (react suspiciously to rumors) so that he can crow when it turns out to be wrong. I can't think of a good example, but its happened a couple of times. I'll believe it when I see it.
