Phil’s costume:
Kat’s costume (I think, there are multiple samey looking steampunk costumes):
AT MOST, assuming these weren’t cheaper in stores or discounted, the total is $100. I think I remember someone else posting a picture of the costume Kat wore and it was under $40 so I may not be 100% correct with my ~$100 assumption.
Even still, those costumes, a waffle maker, and a weekend staycation in Seattle shouldn’t cost more than $500 unless they got a really extravagant hotel room. But Dark PP does one thing very well, and that’s blow money on useless luxuries.

I think he has money, he's just trying to get the fankids to pay his bills again. Which they will like good kids and will not question him.

Phils knows more about taxes than a CPA. Also claims that the tax paid from the sale of a 60k condo would outweigh the benefits of having money to pay for the mortgage.
I think what's going on is that his parents told him that the condo is an investment and will go up in price, so selling it at 60k is a bad idea. In other words, he's looking at an obvious liability as an investment and is willing to deal with the costs since he knows that people will pay for his livelihood until the price goes up.
If the money stopped rolling in and his parents died, he would definitely sell the condo. The thing is that he isn't as desperate as he claims.

It's not surprising, he was asked once if he was saving up for a rainy day and the moron literally thought a rainy day fund was for a rainy day. He went on about how it's for a day when nothing is going on and you wanna go to the park or something. I'll see if I can find the vid it's actually really funny, because at the end he says something like "That's what a rainy day fund is" and he actually believes his ignorance.
He either doesn't understand the point of saving up for emergencies or just peace of mind or, he's trying to convince people he's actually that stupid and somehow it's working.
Edit - Can't find the video, it's either a Soma or Davidson video but I can't be fucked going through all that 'tism to find it. Might stumble on it and post 1 day but it doesn't matter either way.

This shit is honeslty so absurd, he claims the pre stream is for his shameless plugs or whatever.....but dark, how many new viewers do you think subject themselves to your pre streams?
The pre streams are viewed by detractors and his die hard cucks, both of which could probably recite every plug word for word
worst part is today he said that his best advice for younger people is to enjoy themselves. sure phil. not save your money or be careful but enjoy yourselves and spend the money

I’m telling you, the day he reaches a sub goal that doesn’t involve gift subs or sub bots is the day the earth will be hit by a giant asteroid destroying humanity.

First thing Phil wants to spend money on is frivolous shit. Eating out, fast food, Blu Rays, a million streaming services. If he doesn't have those things he'll get stressed and literally, die, okay? After that he dumps all his money into credit card balances and has nothing left. I feel like he's trying to make hay while the sun is shining. He knows he's rotting away, but he hopes that his decade's worth of shitposted videos will be enough to retire on by the time Twitch begging dries up and he's just trying to wring every last penny he can out of the paypigs. Of course, if Article 13 actually comes into force, he'll be completely fucked, but that might not happen.

I am still of the mind that he's not sold the Conn Khando because his parents co-signed for it and/or paid a fair few months/Years of the mortgage payments whilst he was 'giving YT a try.' He was living in his parent's house when he 1st started making YT vids back in 2008. I cannot see a bank giving a 26 yr old newly hired CSR at the helicopter parts company with a history of being fired from his previous jobs and sizable credit card debt from traveling to Street Fighter Competitions a $160k mortage on a condo they know is Over valued since it had been selling for $60 a few years prior to it sky rocketing in price. Now, maybe a bank did as banks were handing out home loans like candy around that time. D$P should know all about this seeing as he claims to have been working at Well's Fargo as a loan officer handing out home loans to folks he knew would default on them.
When D$P made his ' I lost my job, so I'm giving YT a try' vid he seemed pretty calm and confident for a guy with a monthly mortgage payment. We must remember that YT had just started allowing folks to monetize their videos, so the income one might generate would be a complete unknown back then. He went on to lose that ability by asking folks 'to click on the ads'. Does he go looking for a 'regular job'? No, moves to BlipTV, a relatively unknown site until he get's kicked off that site. Does he seek alternate employment now? No, he manages to get Hutch to land him a lucrative Pay-per-view contract with Machinima. ( @9:14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So7wLuuDiHA ) During his heyday, does he pay off his mortgage? No, he takes numerous expensive trips to Conventions as far away as Texas and Wrestle Mania in NYC and stays in suites. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfpqWY5QsQk&list=PLiBb-tnL-VU-iqmn94maMWSncCpwDn6ci ) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY6tg_AqECA&list=PLeyGCRcG5vrH_90ubYpg3MhVVqoTnEewD )
Based on all of this and knowing how he blows through money, I strongly believe D$P cannot sell his Conn khando because his parents 'own' a large portion of it either through co-signing the loan and/or paying a large number of the monthly payments.
said he has at least 40k in mortgage to pay and that if he were to sell the condo,taxes would consider it income and he would be taxed on it. he doesnt like that idea. he wants the whole amount for himself

Good thing Dave the business expert made his executive decision to ignore the poll results. There are about 80K-100K people watching Fallout 76 on Twitch today. Some are playing with friends, some solo, most laughing and having fun, joking about all the glitches and other problems the game has, it's making for great "interaction" and "participation" for most of the streamers playing it.

Someone has to tell the donkey that bad games can still be enjoyable for their badness. Actually many people are highly interested in complete trash, something to laugh at. The same reason people watch Dave.

He definitely made a mistake not playing it. From a personal perspective I get it, it doesn't sound appealing and everything I've heard about it makes me think it'll be shit from gameplay to story. But like people told him on Twitter, people would've shown up to see if it was any good. Probably wouldn't have seen a crazy increase in viewership but I think he would've seen a bump in it. He makes the shittest business decisions I've seen from a streamer. He'll probably complain about the situation pretty soon.
Edit - Did he drop any hints about someone buying the game for him? I haven't watched his stream in a while, but I know he was pretty blatant with RDR2 and he got it. I wonder if it's just nobody bought the game for him so he decided to skip it.
he said he wouldnt play fallout 76 even if it was gifted to him

He said he's not playing it and that's final. He said if you want to buy the game for him, you should instead just tip him the $60 because taxes are more important than Fallout 76.

Well there are worse things than skipping games, at least it makes his desperate pleas for money a teeny tiny little bit more believable.
If you ignore every other unnecessary expense he has.

I keep saying it but I think his plea last night was easily his most blatant. He stated that he was so nervous because Twitch should have paid him by now, and he might get it in the next day or two. Despite the fact that there is literally nothing he has to pay for or he will lose it in two days time, he was literally just bragging about how much more money he made than Tevin with a smaller fanbase. And on top of that he had a few INCREDIBLY lucrative months thanks to tut, and there was a point where he may have made well over $5k extra from tut’s efforts. And yet he’s still in the hole after making all that extra money.
Save for an addiction to drugs or gambling (and he doesn’t leave the house enough for a problem gambler), I genuinely don’t know what else one could spend that much extra money on.

So Phil have apparently come across a key glitch in the new Hitman game... or have he?
When in India he needs to pick up a trainyard key to get in to where the last target is.
When he walks away from the table...
In the following mission, Whittleton Creek, he needs to get the keys to a container containing pesticide, he subdues a construction worker and steals the keys... but did he get the right keys?
In both occasion he rage and bitch about how the game is glitched since he picked up the keys!

Like myself you sound a little skeptical when it comes to the particulars here. Do you think there's a chance Phil simply quit his job back in the day, giving up gainful employment in search of internet fame and fortune? Because to me this sounds exactly like something DSP would do and I've thought so for years. It's equally stupid and egotistical.. a little brave too maybe but there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. I'd say it errs more on the side of pure ego in his particular case, believing he was all set to become Mr Gaming Number 1 on youtube and up to a point he claimed if things weren't working out he'd look to bail out and get a real job - 10 years later he's "living hand to mouth" and yet the very idea of ever doing anything else is a million miles away from the kind of reality he'd ever consider.
