I went with RE 7 because it's a relatively easy game to pick up and play. So long as you play it on Normal difficulty. But Phil could still fuck up massively and wasted so much precious ammo. When you get about half way through the game you start to encounter mutant insects and they cover doors and cages. Doors you need to get through and cages that have items. Anyone with a brain could see that you could just melee the insects or use the flamethrower you get in that level. Not Phil. He wastes an unbelievable amount of pistol and shotgun rounds.

And the insane thing is that he still beat the game. Survival horror my ass if this moron can waste so much ammo and still somehow beat it.

I voted for Ultra Street Fighter 2 because I loved the atmosphere surrounding it. He spent so long hyping it up as HIS game and he acted like it was a homecoming of sorts, which fit perfectly with how he had been talking about how he'd return to "better times" now that Leanna had left him. He went the extra step to frame it as though we'd see some incredible godlike gameplay that'd usher in a new era. And you know what happened when he got his grubby little hands on the game?

He did exactly as well as he does in every other game he plays. He messed up in all the usual ways, he made all the excuses he usually makes, and he brought absolutely nothing new to the table. If there was ever a game that showed that Phil is all talk and no talent, it was Ultra Street Fighter 2.

I voted ARMS because it shows DSP's hateboner for Nintendo at its worst: He blames Nintendo for making a "broken" and "bugged" control scheme, and repeatedly says "Fuck you, Nintendo." Also, slight powerlevel here, but I sucked ass at ARMS when I first got it, but the control scheme is easy to get used to. I don't see why DSP just fails at learning new things. Valedictorian my ass.

Probably Nier, because spectacle fighters with Phil trigger the shit out of me and the story is shooting way too high for his inferior mind to understand, or ARMS due to his constant tard rage.

I had to go with NieR because it shows off just how little effort he was willing to put into his own job. He abandoned the game after the first ending, which is basically like dropping a playthrough after only about the first third of the actual game. He's now backed himself into a corner where he is too focused on trying to keep up with new releases that he will never realistically go back and finish the other four real endings to the game. His solution to this, of course, is to blame low views for not going back to it. He fucked himself over pretty badly with this game, considering how the subsequent playthroughs get better and better. However, I imagine that he would still be his obnoxious, oblivious self throughout the rest of the game if he did put forth the effort to actually finish it; so maybe it's a good thing.

Histrionic personality disorder
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder

Individuals with HPD often fail to see their own personal situation realistically, instead dramatizing and exaggerating their difficulties. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and may prefer withdrawing from frustration (instead of facing it). Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing clinical depression.[5]

Additional characteristics may include:

  • Exhibitionist behavior
  • Constant seeking of reassurance or approval
  • Excessive sensitivity to criticism or disapproval
  • Pride of own personality and unwillingness to change, viewing any change as a threat
  • Inappropriately seductive appearance or behavior of a sexual nature
  • Using somatic symptoms (of physical illness) to garner attention
  • A need to be the center of attention
  • Low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification
  • Rapidly shifting emotional states that may appear superficial or exaggerated to others
  • Tendency to believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are
  • Making rash decisions[4]
  • Blaming personal failures or disappointments on others
  • Being easily influenced by others, especially those who treat them approvingly
  • Being overly dramatic and emotional[6]
Some people with histrionic traits or personality disorder change their seduction technique into a more maternal or paternal style as they age.[7]

Mnemonic[edit]
A mnemonic that can be used to remember the characteristics of histrionic personality disorder is shortened as "PRAISE ME":[8][9]

  • Provocative (or seductive) behavior
  • Relationships are considered more intimate than they actually are
  • Attention-seeking
  • Influenced easily by others or circumstances
  • Speech (style) wants to impress; lacks detail
  • Emotional lability; shallowness
  • Make-up; physical appearance is used to draw attention to self
  • Exaggerated emotions; theatrical

(I did search but couldn't find any mention of this along with darksydephil. The condition can be co-morbid with NPD.)

What it feels like to live with someone with HPD
Living with a person who suffers from HPD can be an exhausting, humiliating, frustrating and isolating experience. It may feel like living with a toddler or child.

When they create chaos, it is often you who are the one who has to clean it up, be the "reasonable" one, make excuses and pay the consequences.

People who act out with HPD traits typically do not seek solutions to the problems they manufacture, because solutions tend to reduce the amount of attention they are likely to receive. Those closest to them often become frustrated as their attempts to help out or improve the situation often go ignored and may even be sabotaged.

It's also common for people closest to an HPD suffer to temporarily "abandon" caring for the person in an attempt to "teach them a lesson" after their attempts to help have been ignored or rejected. However, this is likely to trigger an equally hysterical "why don't you care" reaction. This often leaves the non-personality-disordered individual feeling trapped, used, and manipulated.

Trying to make someone with HPD happy may feel like trying to fill a black hole or empty the ocean. Your loved one’s personality disorder often prevents them from seeing the destructiveness of their own behaviors and keeps them from noticing or empathizing with your own needs .

When your loved one acts out in front of other people, you may feel embarrassed or humiliated to be associated with them. You may feel as though others assume that you are guilty by association. You may begin to avoid public groups, settings and situations for fear that it will not go well.

When your loved one acts out destructively, you may fear their next move. You may feel afraid for your own safety or feel angry that you are not being treated with respect.

Other symptoms of living with a person who suffers from HPD:

  • Important problems or concerns take a back seat to trivial, fabricated or exaggerated problems of a loved one
  • You find yourself making excuses or covering up abnormal public behavior.
  • You find them rapidly cycling between extreme emotional highs and lows without pausing at normal.
  • Other healthy relationships and activities you enjoy outside the relationship are seen as competitive and discouraged or forbidden.

Here's the video, I can't find any mentally ill sociopath detractor videos of it so just from DSP himself. It's honestly pretty funny to me, him conversing with Pandalee is so awkward. And using a sink plunger (round with nothing protruding out, unlike a toilet plunger which has a suction cup built for the small toilet hole) despite all his preparation is hilarious.

When you are in a relationship with someone you will put up with their faults because you love them. That is what most likely put a strain on their relationship. Leanna put up with all of Phil's bullshit while Phil put up with none. You could argue the soap but that had potential to make money so that fed into Phil's greed. Leanna however put up with his "job," ate that sauce you know she hated (go look at her face when she takes a bite in his tutorial video,) and the fact he wanted to live like a hermit. I bet Phil never did anything he didn't want to that Leanna did.

Not saying she was not an idiot for staying but love is blind...and sometimes retarded.

Mentioning Leanna's soap business reminded me to check her Etsy page and it's still down as the owner is 'taking a short break to move around.' Since it's been on that status for around two months now is it fair to say she's probably had to give up her dream of running a successful soap business?

Moving to Washington clearly was the end of a lot of Leanna's childhood hopes and dreams. I hope she's happier away from Phil now
