The problem is that Phil has always been coddled by his parents and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I was watching a PUBG clip of him where somebody asked how is mums cats are...and he was saying 'i assume they are ok but honestly i dont know bec..... ' and that was it he stopped mid sentance and changed the subject..have is parents disowned him??? i will try to find the exact clip and post here. but it was very odd.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have, i bet they're ashamed of him.

Nothing odd about it in this instance: someone only paid 50 cents and wants to know how his mom's cats are? He lost interest halfway through the sentence because he doesn't care how the cats are (or Kat come to think of it) for less than $5

Don't be surprised if he makes the 700 sub stretch goal 'patrons get to pick which Cat I ask my mom about'

I'll throw in my version, too, although I know it's late!

Monday: Star Wars Battlefront II
Tuesday: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas / Secret of Mana
Wednesday: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds / Call of Duty: World War II
Thursday: [BREAK]
Friday: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas / PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Saturday: Indie Games Marathon

Tuesday's Secret of Mana stream may be cancelled if Phil cannot finish his taxes on Monday night.
Phil talks at length about his "bullshit taxes" and why he's playing games on Wednesday, which is "normally" his scheduled day off.
He says he own a lump sum of 2017 federal taxes, the first of his 2018 federal taxes, and the first payment of his state back taxes. He says he doesn't actually know how much he owes.
He admits that cheers and subs would count towards his financial payments.
He still thinks he can get up to 550 subscribers by Wednesday night.
Phil says that his next tax payment will be in June.
Phil says that he can't afford to put thousands of dollars of taxes on a credit card.
Phil will be playing that one climbing game during his Indies Marathon; people are voting on Axiom Verge, DDLC, and others.
Phil's next week is open; he may begin his Mass Effect 2 Renegade FemShep run if nothing new drops by surprise.

Oh god, I hope Axiom Verge wins. Just for the fact that game does not hand hold your ass.

The beggar tax loop, now he must beg forever in order to pay off the next taxes, which seem to come very closely together. I guess "my taxes" is the new scapegoat instead of "my bills" that he used to say.

 

[NursezillaX]

It is even stranger they don't see it when Phil flat out explained it to them, so Phil must give his fans as much credit as we do. Also, since Phil is self employed he is supposed to file his taxes quarterly so this scam can go the whole year. Unless he is exempt from the quarterly taxes for some reason, maybe @neger psykolog, @SoapQueen1, or someone else who dug deep into tax laws can fill in some info if they have it.

I will just give my experience as to estimated taxes.

I had a job where I was classified as an 'independent contractor' and had no taxes withheld. At the time, I had very little discipline with saving money, but I didn't have an issue paying something if it was a bill. For years, I never once made an estimated quarterly tax payment. Rather, I would do my taxes in April, find out how much I exactly owed for the previous year, and then I would just arrange a payment plan that would settle my obligation in a years time. It usually ended up being $150-250 per month. I would just make the monthly payment and pay off those taxes over the next year, then do the same for the most recent previous year.

So, it was basically like I was having taxes taken out of my paycheck like a 9 to 5. I fully cop to this not being the best way to do things, but I seriously was horrible with saving and just never had a lump amount around to pay like 7 or 800 quarterly. And even doing it this way, the interest was negligible over the course of the year, maybe totaled an additional payment / like $200 total. So, while this is an ass backwards way of doing things, I only mention it to illustrate that the idea of, if you do not pay estimated lump taxes,.you will lose your house etc., is simply not true, and he could pay his taxes in this same fashion. I never had anyone come after me for anything, they wanted the money and, at the time, this was the way I could manage to do it until I became better with saving when I got older.

EDIT: This may all be irrelevant as I was an independent contractor and did not own a business per se and the two may be different as far as expectations and penalties for not paying estimated taxes, but I believe that it was essentially the same as far as filing. I don't know what a business owner files, but I believe I used to file a form W-9 instead of a W-4. This was like 15 years ago tho, so not 100% sure.

Maybe his 'fundraisers' are just a tool to see who is holding out with their 'positivity'... After all, if they were 'participating' to their full potential they couldn't really 'interact' any more with him.

Thursday: [BREAK]

DSP always forgets this stuff. His current schedule tweet, posted AFTER the WiP, says he IS streaming on Thursday, GTASA & Secret of Mana as you'd expect as he's trying to do PUBG on alternate 2nd streams.

http://archive.is/Z4hY4

This isn't new for DSP mind, even last week he forgot he was taking Wednesday off & changed his mind from stating generic GTASA & PUBG on Saturday to deciding he needed a day off (despite 4 days off already for moving Kat in) on Sunday's tweet.

Friday: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas / PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Saturday: Indie Games Marathon

Tuesday's Secret of Mana stream may be cancelled if Phil cannot finish his taxes on Monday night.

He admits that cheers and subs would count towards his financial payments.
He still thinks he can get up to 550 subscribers by Wednesday night.

Twitch partners only have to wait 45 days to get a payment, DSP has vaguely said he gets paid by Twitch in the middle of the month, so he should get all February Twitch cheers/subs/ad revenue money by mid-April, perhaps in time for a mid-April payment.
550 subs is only happening if this 'fundraiser' (DSP originally called this a subs drive, I feel more for his ego - 'OF COURSE people want the cooking with Kat video, they just haven't heard about it! A subs drive will raise awareness!'). GTASA stream today had 7 shared subs, and so it only maintained 460 subs - gained 1 to 461 after dropping to 457 during the stream, already down to 460 again before midnight PST. https://overrustlelogs.net/Darksydephil chatlog/February 2018/userlogs/nightbot#272250-272356
There's a good reason DSP's patrons won't know about this: he hasn't even updated the Patreon goal. The way it's worded, he may never update it at all. Also public facing number is down to $835.

Phil says that his next tax payment will be in June.
Phil says that he can't afford to put thousands of dollars of taxes on a credit card.
Phil will be playing that one climbing game during his Indies Marathon; people are voting on Axiom Verge, DDLC, and others.

DSP claims he pays his IRS federal taxes quarterly in advance, estimating his income each time, so this could well become a regular thing where people 'tipped so much last time!' that his estimate was too low & now he has another 'bill'. Easy way to keep justifying fundraisers anyway, and we all know DSP wants as much money as possible.

Hotline Miami 2 never even made the poll if anyone's expecting that. DDLC will be pointless, just like Hatoful Boyfriend (the bird visual novel dating game) he only plays these indie marathons games for 1.5-2 hours at most, which will get you nowhere in a story game like this - not sure if you'd even reach a twist in DDLC in that time. "Getting Over It" is the climbing game, based on Flash game Sexy Hiking... which I only know about thanks to it being retsupuraed. Going full circle...

 

[SleepyNibba]

so is he gonna just claim he needs the money for his taxes every month?

At that point if people are still falling for that, then maybe we shouldnt have warned peoplenot to eat tide pods...

Mea culpa - I usually don't watch these videos and just post a recap I see on Discord. He does talk about GTA for Thursday. Post fixed accordingly.

I'm still perplexed at how bad he is at scheduling. Boring playthroughs is one thing, but every time he picks up a game its far after the hype has passed.

Just going through his schedule over the past month its mostly clogged with shit that has no real pattern. Besides "salty sunday" there's no definition in any of it.

So just a little curious, what ever happened to Kat's job?
You know that job she had to drive 45 min for but now would end up living right next to.

Into the memory hole that Phil thinks makes people forget or are automatically wrong and took what he said out of context...

 

[neger psykolog]

"I earned this house"
Nigga you took out a loan. You don't own it so you couldn't have earned it.

"I'm not gonna be buying this time because I don't have the credit"
Nigga that's not buying. That's taking out a fucking loan.

I've said it so many times, but this guy is the banks favorite kind of customer.

Not only that, if he's gonna bitch about people asking about his taxes, he should stop asking for help or prove his financial situation (at least to a neutral party)

 

[rizlajizzla]

Asking other people to pay your taxes is so scummy. Especially someone as well off as DSP. I can't even imagine what his parents would think if they found out he did that.

Phil's dad seems like an actual person with a career and a home and shit. If Phil was my son I would move to Argentina and speak of it no more. I would give at least £.82 to see how his mom has decorated the Burnell Estate. I am sure there is fake ivy, unsold Mary Kay in the closet and at least one Thomas Kinkade, Master of Motherfucking Light painting in each room. Oh, and those encephalitic, bug eyed Precious Moments monsters.

I wish Geoff The Hero was my son. And Reviewbrah, those kids are alright.



Edit, soz, I just saw that this has been done to death a few pages ago. My bad. Leaving because Fuck Thomas Kinkade.

[Plumbaby]

maybe if he was born a little bit later he would've been inured to the weird american notion that at a certain age you Have to Buy a House

not that many people even really 'own' theirs, it's just this thing that you spend your life investing in that can be pulled out from you if you miss a payment. the poorer you are the more your wealth is tied directly to your home, for a lot of people it constitutes over half their total 'worth' and it was these people who got primely fucked by the '09 recession.

 

[Phalanx]

Ok so a few things of note. I know this seems nit picky but this is my profession coming through; is it me or does he seem quite unhinged, he is speaking incredibly fast almost slurring and he seems super agitated and actually anxious.
Also wow what happened to his thursday off with Kat? He said last week he is taking thursday off. Has the pspro already caused a giant rift
