[DiabeticSP]

I love that Phil whines and bitches about how he can't afford to buy games.

But of he got games people actually wanted he'd make enough in cheers/bits to cover the cost probably before pre-stream even ended.

Phil lacks money sense. He doesn't understand investments or spending money up front to make more later.

Theres no way hes so strapped for cash he can't spend 40 bucks on Eternal Darkness.

 

[LyteSydeByll]

I really like the concept of
"Two random minutes with Phil".

Just doesn't matter where you put in the stopper, it never ends in Phil's favor.

Out of khantext d00d!

Listen, okay? He can't buy the ingredients for his product when he has to pay the factory and also the old unused factory. The money goes straight to his special credit card and there is no Green left to manufacture the raw product. So please, consumer, donate to DSP Inc. (Incompetence) the ingredients.

Yeah, your career and life choice was definitely amazing when you can't even pay for the ONE* object you need to pay for. Hasn't he also said a million times he is an honest and real motherfucker aka reviewer cuz he has to pay for his games? Yes he has.

*) Electricity and other ongoing payments do not really count cuz he has to pay them regardless of his job. Also microphone and other equipment was an one time investment to set up his business. I would count new consoles, replacement controller, and so on, but they rarely need to be bought.

:late: as balls, but. Phil really doesn't understand how equity works. If he has x debt and combines it with y debt, he still has x+y debt, but to his little, overheated mind, it's like, meh, the mortgage goes up a bit every month, but only a little, so all those credit card debts go Poof! Which means Phil now has room to run up more debt. Then he risks having TWO mortgages over the selling price of a house. Eating equity that way is just stealing from yourself. He spends money like a college girl with Borderline Personality Disorder.

If he has to file for bankruptcy one day would it be a matter of public record?

I can't think of a single game (at least this year, but probably going back to when he started back on Twitch) that hasn't at least been paid for by Phil's dumbass fans. He generally pulls in a minimum of $100 per day in just cheers and subs for 1-2 streams. So if he plays a game for more than one stream (or if it's less than $50), the game is covered.

Phil never sees it that way, all the money he gets are for "Muh Bills". What a putz.

Even people who send donations like "Hey here's $300 put it towards the PS4 Pro!!"
"Thanks for the donation but I gotta pay my bills first ackackack"

I for one find it shocking that Dave completely lacks the ability to tell whether a game is good or not, whether most of his audience will be interested in a game or not, or what kind of viewership a game has on Twitch or YouTube. If only he had a large amount of experience playing and reviewing a wide variety of games, some type of way to directly interact with his audience so he could get to know them and their interests, or if these booksmart assholes would make viewership data available and easily searchable. Sadly there's nothing he can do. If only these dumbfucks knew how to run a website he wouldn't need you to send him your dead father's life insurance payoff, your student loan money, your trust fund, or your childhood birthday money.

Motherfucker does nothing but bitch about his dusty ass PS4, ancient laptop, lemon computer, etc.

But god forbid he invest in any of these things that he NEEDS for his business. He's too lazy to move his furnitute around to not fuck his neck and back, hes definitely too lazy to ponder how quality of life improvements would help him.

I love that Phil whines and bitches about how he can't afford to buy games.

His playthrough of Vampyr got about 100K views which probably works out to around $100. His YouTube channel pays for every game he buys within a few weeks, then old playthroughs give him spending money.

New :late: as balls, but. Phil really doesn't understand how equity works.

He doesn't want equity. He wants a home equity loan. He wants to convert his 20% interest credit card debt to 5% interest home equity loan debt. I think that's why he freaks out about "bills." Even more so now that he's mentioned home equity I think every penny he makes is going toward extra payments to reduce his overall debt and qualify for a home equity loan.

If he has to file for bankruptcy one day would it be a matter of public record?

Yep. It'll be a public record in the Washington court system for whatever district he's in.

makes me grateful that phil will never inherent a business and run it into the ground

alot of ppl tell me thats why they like phil cause "he tells it like it is" for game reviews. i just smirk cause youd have to be mentally retarded to take anything phil says seriously

I don't know who the fuck designed this (Janney is supposedly fluent in Japanese and didn't point this out?)
But my rudimentary (4 years) of Japanese says this is "JIDOZE KICHIMONIMI" which doesn't translate to fucking anything. It's written in katakana which is used for onomatopoeia or foreign words, in which case it's spelled to try to match the phonetics. (for example, they don't have a word for "Television" they say "TEREBII")

You could probably get by with submitting a shirt design to him with 腐った or 豚ローチ　（pigroach spelled two different ways)

Plus I didn't think DSP to be a fan of Japanese games (has ragequit tons of JRPGs) or the Japanese language (as I was banned for speaking Japanese in stream chat during Yakuza 6, a fucking Japanese game) or Japanese anime (Hasn't seen Naruto, JJBA, or OPM). Unless the only anime he's seen was shit from the 80s 90s.

He's never been to Japan either. So what the fuck?
EDIT: Also racist to Asians. "In China they say chicky chang wang charly chang chicka chow ga cha."

The shirt designer got a Japanese font and just typed DSP GAMING on his keyboard.

I have a friend fluent in Japanese I’ll ask him but the last 2 characters are 2 and 3 in Simplified Mandarin hanzi. I know Japanese is based on Chinese hanzi symbols.

Lazy, but never too lazy for excuses! Somewhere there is a hidden creative mind which makes up lies and excuses on the fly without even turning red. Sadly it's driven by childish habits: Muuuum, I did nathing wrong! It was the other kid. I did everything right. You know I would never do that, I never lied to you. Muuuuuuum.
Yes Phil, this is how you sound. In written text.

He can automatically focus on random pieces of half-knowledge from all sources and make up any shit he wants (and he even believes it himself) . Even when he just needs to push a couch 5 metres to the left to get rid of an annoying setup.
I refuse to believe he is 100% fine with this setup. But lazyness is stronger.

He will do it when it's too late, like with everything else. So when he's a hobo and has no couch anymore.

But my rudimentary (4 years) of Japanese says this is "JIDOZE KICHIMONIMI" which doesn't translate to fucking anything

Yeah, Phil said it means nothing. It just needs to look Japanese, I guess. Too lazy to even demand text with meaning, it was simply impossible, I guess. Phil doesn't care, so this shirt. Phil doesn't care, I don't wear.

He actually admitted it means nothing? How do you market a shirt with writing that means absolutely nothing? You’re essentially selling a shirt with jibberish on it.

I asked my buddy to confirm that it is jibberish none the less.

Yes, 二 三 are the Kanji (which is Japanese Chinese) for 2 and 3, but in katakana they are ニ NI and ミ MI, and since the rest of the shirt is Katakana I translated it as katakana

Right on. I thought they were the same symbols. My understanding of hanzi is insanely limited. I really should pick it up again. It’s such a useful language to know.

Last night Anony said he'll send Phil $60 in PSN store credit, "just like last year". This was for Phil to get the latest WWE game.

Phil plans on streaming the game for a couple sessions and doing simulations or whatever it was called. There's not much more you could ask him to do.

It could be that since it's in store credit, it can't "go straight to the bills" :/

I remember this because he explained it recently: the Japanese on the shirt purposely doesn't mean anything. It's a reference to a Street Fighter character that has a shirt with Japanese on it that doesn't mean anything.
