If I'm recalling it right (please correct me if I'm wrong), last time he said "Future is so bright I gotta wear shades" he lost his Machinima contract, so yeah... keep taunting the karma Phil *grabs popcorn*:story:

. . .this is completely bananas. Everyone "knows" what happened. No one was "confused." This wasn't a "teachable moment" that saved him from an unenforced error, this was Twitch basically saying "you can't do this anymore." I seriously doubt their suspending him was solely tied to the fundraiser that is now gone, but likely his overall style of soliciting support (we shall see how his behavior changes). However this idea of his that yesterday was anything but positive and anyone who suggests otherwise is a "troll" is just nonsense. This was a bad day for dude and just owning it and letting it go and moving forward is the best thing he could do for himself; sadly it's not the best for his ego, so he has ridiculous tweets like this trying to swing the momentum in his favor. Just crazy.

Also, that poor woman. Two weeks in and this is the mess she's dealing with.

Rate me :autism:, but why the fuck does he keep writing out the names of games that pretty much everyone refers to by acronym?

Lack of interaction with the wider society, or even his chosen subculture. He follows 68 people on Twitter, zero on Instagram, zero on Twitch, barely reads gaming articles, and admits to never watching YouTube videos.

Phil doesn't like Reddit, is scared of Discord, only reads GameFaqs for walkthroughs, and hasn't posted on SRK (or any forum) in 10-15 years? He'd be laughed off SRK if he tried to return, of course. Going by DSP threads on 4chan /v/ he has a small cult of ironic followers there, but do you think Phil even knows what 4chan is?

Anyways, yeah. It took him a month or more to find out people call it "PUBG."

DSP was making six figures in the glory days. He could easily have swindled the bank by showing them these statements and getting all the credit he wanted. Plus his parents would have certainly signed off on his first home.

Then there was the business loan in 2015. We don't know how much but at time DSP was making over 1k month with patreon in addition to his youtube stuff. So again, the bank would be fine handing over tons of credit.

We have to assume he's better off than we think, but that doesn't mean he's spending that income responsibly. An example would be leasing a bmw for 3 years and only driving it 6k miles (lol). DSP has Kat to fall back on so she can always get a job. IF Kat worked at starbucks in Seattle proper minimum wage there is 15 an hour plus tips. Who knows if DSP would allow her to do that though.

Phil is just talking out of his ass, but if this suspension gets him to stop talking about his bullshit money problems and constant badgering his viewers for bits/tips/subs this will actually be a positive for his stream. You are still left with a bitter shell of a man poorly playing video games he doesn't want to play, but he won't bitch about money...until he forgets the lesson he pretended to learn and things go back to normal.
 
Youtube is always there for emergency vlogs. If phil really needs to he will still upload begging videos. The problem is rallying people on twitch will be a bit harder for him. BTW last I checked his channel was still banned on twitch.
 
I know this is pretty :late: and maybe :offtopic: but someone mentioned when he first ‘left’ Twitch he blamed Leanna? I thought it was speculation she had something to do with it, if he did in fact blame her, what was the reasoning? I remember him just saying he left because the mod asked for him to lower his stream quality and such.

What "luxury items"?

His 500 dollar Keurig when he doesnt even seem like he drinks coffee all that much.

Yes, but the conversation started out of speculating how much DSP's income would have to dip before he'd really be hurting, and the counter point was that he's well off so it could dip quite a bit. All I'm saying is that a lot of the money he's making is already ear marked for existing debt that he couldn't just stop paying on, which means that it wouldn't take that much of a dip in income to start hurting him. If he was spending thousands of dollars every month on one off luxury items (like fancy dinners or something) then it would be easier to cut those out to live below his means if his income suddenly dropped.

That, plus psychologically speaking DSP would probably rather die than reduce his standard of living.

I mean I think the whole, "he's well off even though he's spending on debt he already has" argument is based on the fact that he;s incredibly reckless with what he spends money on because he's like a child who never learned to think about it and budget so he just buys fancy shit because he "needs it", whether or not that money would already be earmarked to pay off debt or pay bills, because he's been so long living from month to month he doesnt consider that an issue.

He could theoretically do both, easily cut his luxury living from his life, and still be neck deep in debt that he has to pay off, even if his income took a hit because he's claimed to have been paying his debt with more debt. His quality of life would take a hit and he would be in trouble if his twitch money dipped, but he could reorganize and just start actually putting it towards trying to pay down debt if it came to that.

As it is, Phil thinks "disposable income" is literally disposable and that people do, are supposed to, spend it all instead of it really just being a euphemism for like "rainy day money", small events, vacations and trips, maybe just savings in general, money for an emergency-- basically a cushion.

I guess the argument is that, yeah he probably does live month to month, but he's still not poor. He doesnt have to live that way.

And apparently a 4k tv? Why? Most things dont even use that resolution, I dont think cable services stream that, and it's not like he needs it, even for his business, because it's not gonna make him any better at video games. He's still gonna suck, get mad and throw something because it "dropped mah inputs"!

And yes, it has been like that for a while already.

Quite the opposite. When Phil first left Twitch, his channel was accessible but out-of-use while he streamed on YouTube. (When looking for a new chat solution, he at one point even tried to redirect viewers to Twitch chat and have that be his main chat, and was shot down by Twitch when found out.)

Allegedly, Leanna deactivated the channel in anger during an argument with some random chatters. Having moved on from Twitch, Phil obviously didn't care, and denied it furiously. Even though he was busy streaming at the exact moment the Twitch channel went down. There's no video or chatcaps of this. We only have the word of people who were there at the time. @EddyB43 might be able to add more, but even he wasn't there and remembers the testimony of Biohazard_Asian, an OG DSP fan.

So, no. She more than likely deactivated the channel (harmless), but he never blamed her and even defended her against the accusations.

Down to 428 subs on twitch Dammmnnnnn

"I add about 10 to 15 subs per day *snort*"
Another damage control lie by Phil. More like loses 10 to 15 subs per day. It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow during his "Totally Not a Fundraiser" stream; how many gift subs will his paypigs give out to random people in the chat?

he really loves to talk about himself, his life, and his thoughts in a really pathetic kind of self-indulgent way.

It's as if this is the only time he gets to talk to other humans, and has to get it all out and feel validated.

DepressionsydePhil and all his over reaction is gone atm, just cause Kat's there. Hard to hold on to stress too tightly when someone's there to suck it all out through your dick.

The pre-stream was an absolute joke. The issue evasion was impressive tbh. He made it sound like nothing happened yesterday except getting a new contact at Twitch. I'm actually a little embarrassed that he thinks people's memory is that bad.
