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
If I had spent years in the proximity of Phil, I'd probably want to drop off the face of the earth and lead a low-key life until everything blew over too.

Somewhere in Washington a 35 year old man was seen laughing to himself in a store.
For whatever reason, I'm almost seeing this as either the seed for a failed mass shooting or for bugged suicide mechanics. Either way, the point of that thing is it's a party gimmick; Phil has no friends anymore because apparently money and hiding like a hermit is more important.
 
Been following this thread for ages, just wanted to chimp in and disagree with the NPD diagnosis.

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.)

"A distinguishing feature of histrionic patients lies in the emphasis they place in their personality, interactional manner, and dress for the transmission of sexual signals. This amounts to a type of self-dramatization through sexuality. Histrionic patients will often seem to exaggerate culture-bound gender symbols. In men and women this can take two disparate forms but with an underlying common theme: the dramatic highlighting of sexual stereotypes. In histrionic men one such form is the hypermasculine "cowboy." This contrasts with the effeminate "interior decorator" type. In histrionic woman one form is the hyperfeminine "charming hostess," which contrasts with the masculine "boardroom director" type"

"The male patient, on the other hand, is inclined to portray himself in the roles of hero, clown, or "macho," using some distortion of fact."

"Male histrionic patients may also complain of headaches, back pain, gastrointestinal disturbances, and other somatic symptoms. Frequently, histrionic patients possess the fantasy that they have a disorder that is beyond the ken of ordinary physicians. They will often resort to herbal remedies and alternative medical practices in the belief that their physical distress will only respond to an unconventional or exotic treatment."

I'd read through the whole thing for a good top kek.

Most interestingly is that Darksydephil has been commented as looking like Ricky Gervais from "The Office". Ricky's counterpart in the US version of the show (Michael Scott) is actually a frequently cited exampled of someone with HPD:

Another look at Michael Scott/HPD: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-abnormalpsych/chapter/histrionic-personality-disorder/

https://abnormalpsych.wikispaces.com/casestudies

considering the internet drastically effects any diagnosis, its easy to look at michael scott as what DSP would be like if he somehow landed a middle-management job and wasnt confined to using the internet on a day to day basis. Michael Scott is a good example of a male HPD as it usually presents more in females than males. especially since he doesn't display the 'seductive' trait.

The difference is that Michael Scott's funny, charming, knowledgeable, happy where he is and married with kids. He's everything Phil isn't.
 
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 picked usf2 as well because of how smug he was and i remember his first stream how he was gloating about his win/loss record. But then as soon as matchmaking started pairing him up with skilled players it was all "dropped inputs", "laggy bullshit", "fuck capcom", etc.

It comes full circle in the end. It shows you everything wrong with DSP as a person and the quick matches don't drag on. The salty rage every time evilaj beats him is priceless.

At the same time though his Injustice 2 rage quit is gold.

lol calm down

He tossed a new excuse in, which was nice: "They changed everything in this port, dood. This isn't the Ultra Street Fighter 2 I know and love."

As if that excused his poor mechanics.
 
Went back and watched some old stuff today. There's so much on Phil that just a couple months of content lost to time and larger events could be pulled and make up one separate cow.

You also don't fully understand how bad Phil is until you REALLY dive deep.
old phil videos are a cringe gold mine, phil panel is hard to watch. he scammed everyone there too lol
