Strongly disagree. I think Phil was one of those gamers who spent the 90's and 2000's reading strategy guides to get through games.

Yeah I know but I guess my increased sense of disbelief stems from the fact that he just poured what.. 30 odd hours into this game about a week ago? I don't often see any his garbage content in any capacity anymore (well I have a peek when people suggest he's losing his mind) so I was quite amazed to figure out not only was it not down to control scheme retention but that he played the entire game and not once did he hit anyone with a headshot intentionally or otherwise. I'm guessing that means he also never bothered to venture out and try and score a single 3 star pelt for any animal in the entire fucking game either because auto-aim wouldn't work there at all. I love how fast he blows through stuff giving zero fucks about a single thing that transpires then informs his audience of how invested he was in the experience and how Red Dead 2 is quite simply the best vidya story of all time. Also the game is "too easy" in the sense he gave himself no avenues to explore in any kind creative way.
I'd almost be willing to cut him some kind of break and acknowledge that yoyo'ing between games like the oddity he is probably can in fact jumble up the button layouts in your head a little bit. But we know it has nothing to do with that in Phil's case.
His attitude was if a game was difficult, obtuse or required any kind time investment in order to figure something out the developers did it on purpose so people would be forced to buy the strategy guides. He used to say this all the time. Then there was the "beginner's traps" which were essentially anytime you can possibly fail at an early stage where the setup of a given scenario was to teach you how to do something in-game. So basically according to DSP tutorials in videogames are purposefully designed to fuck you over not teach you the rules or create consequences for not trying to follow them.
DSP's entire life and every failure within it is down to the The Beginner's Trap not his own ineptitude or failure to take any responsibility. Quite literally nothing he could do.

I think he still does. He makes sure to point out he doesn't read guides a little to vehemently for my tastes. But in his MGS3 playthrough, when talking about suppressors (yes, that entire shit show) he says something like "I was reading online and SP is supposed to mean supressor, but how do I use it".
Strange thing to just randomly stumble on online. I've never seen people randomly talk about that and I was quite active in MGS forums during the peak of it's popularity. My money is on him either reading a FAQ or some other such bullshit.
well considering his last patreon fueled events were complete shit,its normal for it to go down that much
why give him 5 bucks just to vote on games....that he will only play 1 hour each?
an insane amount. almost half a million. do you think phil would be so prideful of his earned mansion that he wouldnt sell it for that amount.
if he were to sell it to that amount,he would be set for years.hell he could buy a smaller house

It's so damn unproductive for him. He's juggling almost 6 games. Why should a viewer get invested in his playthroughs if he puts them on hold every 1-2 days.
He likes to say he's a variety streamer now, but that's not really how you do it.
edit: Because if you are putting games on hold because another new release happens, it just snowballs into what he's got himself into now with his 6 game juggling scheme. By the time he has finished a new release, others have done it weeks before. Why should anyone subject themselves wanting to see a new release all the way through with his method of practically waiting around

Theory: Phil will only sell the Renton place if he can get 500k for it. He'll want to double his investment, in his head at least.

At this point those glasses probably won’t even help much, he got them before the move right? I’m sure she’s due for a new prescription. I was baffled when I heard he has glasses, I’ve only ever seen him wear them when going out of my way to find an old video of them, why would someone refuse to see....

That just made me wonder: How much unmitigated rage would Dave have if he had to play Duck Hunt today? That dog would be labeled a detractor for sure.

I hate glasses too.
I find them ugly and a pain in the ass to wear.
My answer? I wear contacts.
Phil's answer? Do nothing and don't see shit.
Anyway it's unbelievable how wasted Red Dead 2 is on his hands. I'm still only on Chapter 3, just because i have fun hunting perfect pelts, doing challenges and unlocking all the camp upgrades.
I bet he never even tried to hunt big game. He probably rushed through the story mission, which, admitedly, is really well written.

Honestly, to get that price, he would have to have the house in pristine condition, almost brand new.
Given his affinity for slovenly laziness, I bet he would get about $350k. Which is nothing to sneeze at. He could payoff the taxes and the underwater portion of his Khando.
He still wouldn't be in great shape. But, certain better than the desperate position he is in now.
We all know what's going to happen though. He's going to hang on to that house until he's foreclosed on and ruined financially for the rest of his life. And let's be honest with ourselves, that's what we're here for. To see this greedy, abusive, arrogant, backstabbing, self-centered, manchild get what's coming to him. And that is a prison of living alone in a shitty 1 bedroom apartment in a terrible neighborhood playing videogames he hates begging children for money.

Phil just started today's Spyro stream
Sub only mode is probably on i don't see anyone without a crown in the chat (after the game started， after prestream)
Claiming:"Chat looks good, my chat has the MOST MATURE, FUN, AND POLITE guys and gals that just love to hang out with me and watching me play some games"
I promptly captured the chat at THAT MOMENT
Phil then started the game after ranting more on him need more money and Patreon is not doing well
Look at how excited he is to play this children's game, his mission objective sounds like exactly his streaming service

Welcome to the club. I'd like to say it's an exclusive group of elite trolls that earned their ban but lets be honest. You can get banned for saying hello wrong in that chat.

Strong view numbers for Dark today. Barely cracking 300 at the time of writing. That coupled with the ever declining Patreon and he's bound to be a bundle of joy, come december.
Looks like he's really enjoying himself with this Spyro playthrough btw.

I'll admit for some reason I've always been a bit of a DSP fantasist (not like that you dirty peepul) and weirdly like to entertain the idea that he might have a hidden speck of intermittent brain activity that allows him to plan ahead or make clever choices that aren't immediately apparent. I don't know why I do this.. I should be working lul but I can't help imagining the end of The Usual Suspects only instead of Kevin Spacey it's DSP whining "fuckin' detractors" as he waddles out of the wakhando during a "disappointing, we only reached 11,000 guise" begathon and when he hits the streets he suddenly stops walking like a penguin, exhibits control over all bodily secretions and noises. He even limbers up enough to sit in the driving seat of his new 2018 Beemer without his spinal column shattering into a million pieces. "The greatest trick the darksfadil ever pulled was convincing the world he actually existed uhuhuh. And just like that.. I'm gawn!"
As such I wonder about things like.. could there be any reason beyond good old fashioned fear and lack of control motivating Phil to shutdown any possibility of trolling when he plays online? Is there any kind of precedent with Twitch's history that could land him in trouble even if he's the one on the receiving end? Any kind of infractions known to be handed out to any streamer who keeps drawing in lots of audible (rather than say the endless toxicity of his chat which we know they don't give a fuck about) abusive language? I'm guessing not but I really don't know how they operate or at which point they usually intervene unless it's something like racism/hate speech or whatever.
I know it's probably fear but fantasies and theories doods.

Phil literally said, “Patreon is not getting the response that I had hoped it would have...”

His patreon is seriously trash tier, even extra during these holiday months
“Pay me money to nominate a game you like that I’ll only play for 30 minutes to an hour, and won’t care enough to learn the game, respect the game, or enjoy it”
Wow man where can I sign up?!?

What are you talking about? Tevin isn't restreaming him. That's 1,200 viewers that are rightfully Phil's, that would come back to his stream for his transformative content.
I checked just to be sure, and this is all I've got for 4 full minutes of his chat. Only one comment related to the actual boss or the game. As for Phil, in those 4 minutes he said "Got him" once, and read out the name of a PS4 trophy.
