Due to various circumstances I've had to work from home for an extended period recently. I have a regular 9-to-5 office-type beep-boop job. One thing I noticed after a few days was that I really started to feel disconnected from the outside world - it was a little hard to remember what day of the week it was. Going to the store on the weekend felt strange, like I'd forgotten where everything was. The checkout person tried to make smalltalk with me and I struggled a little to come up with a friendly response that didn't sound awkward. It was very disorienting.

Maybe it's just :autism: on my part but I think the greater point, which has been brought up by others recently, still stands. If a few days is enough to have an effect imagine how stunted Phil is, with his Salinger-esque legacy of seclusion. Maybe he always has to set aside time to do errands with Kat because he needs her to do all the necessary human interaction.

Same thing happens to me too and I actually leave the house to go to work. But yeah for a couple weeks there I was kind of burnt out from work so it was literally go to work, get home order doordash and then chill for the night. A few days ago I went to do some gift shopping, pay muh bills (which only took 20 minutes, not a whole day like Phil but I don't have a bizness to run like Phil) and yeah it was kind of weird lol. Felt like getting stoned for the first time just everything was weird and novel for a bit. Driving in traffic, running errands, seeing people shopping, making small talk with cashiers/customers..felt like a real adult human being again. So yeah couldn't even imagine how it would feel living in "da castle" for years and years in self isolation.

Probably explains why Phil acts like he's so obsessed with his "business" and never has any time for anything "fun" cause he's always "working". He knows he doesn't have any friends or family anymore. After that long being isolated probably feels weird or embarrassed reaching out to anyone. Everyone else he talks to (online that is) either shit's all over him or sucks his dick so he has no reference for what a normal "give and take" relationship looks like. So he convinces himself everything he does is "work" and throws himself into it to ignore all of the real life shit surrounding him.

Fuck all of this. I had to cross reference a kf post (which gave a vAGUE STREAM DATE REEE) with chat logs on overrustle (where DSP's own bot had the wrong schedule date, saying Fri October 19th instead of 20th for the schedule fml) and then interpret his chat, who barely talk about the game or him, to see what point in the stream the cheer was.

Around 40:00 for “my friend got killed on the mean streets of Bridgeport” and 44:38 for “gun or body armour in the ghetto?”

Unless I skipped over it I didnt hear anything about Papa Burnell being held up whilst getting m.i.l.k.

(I want to use this clip for a video so that's why I'm being autistic)

No :autism: detected, even some free days can diminish even easy communication processes. Suddenly you feel so stupid when you can't even say "Have a nice evening". This is actually one of the main reasons why I prefer to work, with people, your cognitive abilities stay fresh.

However, there is also another side which lead to active communication despite your whole life is dedicated to talking to an invisible audience. After years you turn into an actor, as your abilities to talk and be creative grows. You can see that on every Let's Play creator there is, at the start they are shy and uncoordinated, then they start to understand how it works, they get more brave and find the right approach to jokes and entertainment. It's all about discovering yourself.

However, I fail to see that development in Dave. He talks less, no motivation,the exact same garbage jokes, he never discovered what works for him as he fails to see his own flaws and completely ignores his audience. He has like 3 topics he can repeat out of his hat and this is not entertainment: Money, Legacy, Ego.
Therefore I'm quite certain he is still amazingly socially awkward.

Yep. I know people shitted on the old DSP too (2009-2011 I think, whenever he first started) but he sounded like an average bro back then. Like I could see myself having a beer with him and freaking out over video games. Sure he was still "edgy" with his "Faggot" and "retard" and acting like the King of Hate but he had more personality and was funny. Then the money and everything got to his head. Then he refused to change with the times. And then he started fighting with his audience and making an ass out of himself. And now he just sort of exists or says mundane shit the entire time.

Pisses me off too because if he had just GOTTEN OUT OF HIS OWN WAY he'd be fine. If he didn't have such an ego about everything he'd be fine. If he just chilled the fuck out he'd be fine. Everything he did was to show off or shut down the haters. If he'd have just stayed in Connecticut, sure buy some stuff but saved the rest of his money, make small upgrades to his production and listened to some of his detractors or at the very least do a typical PR move of ignoring or "smile, acknowledge, move on" he'd be good. No one's demanding he do highly edited videos or have a huge production team or anything. I mean he's kinda proved he can make a decent profit off the half ass shit he's doing now. It'd just be way more sustainable if he was living like he was in 09 then trying to cover the costs of all the hella extra shit he's trying to do now. No way he can sit there and say it'd be more expensive to live modestly back in Conn than to have everything he has going on now. No fucking way.

And he'd still have his friends and family, he'd still have Panda, and even if he had some crises along the way, all those hundreds of thousands he was making every year he'd be totally fine. No lie that's a chill bachelor pad he had, I'd move in there if Phil took all his shit out and rented it to me.

But nah he has to show out, prove he's The King (whatever that is), silence the haters and gotta have everyone else suck his dick. Couldn't just lay low, take some Ls along the way and bank the rest. Hell if he'd have just stayed in Conn (and saved his money) he could probably have whatever schedule he likes now too. He could "work" like 3 days a week and then "chill" the other days. Or do actual special streams like 24hr streams or how Lethalfrag did his 2 year stream but on a smaller scale (say a month) and then take a couple weeks off while uploading the shit to youtube. Guarantee people would tune in and "participate". People love being a part of those gimmick streams. But yeah he'd have total control over his schedule, he'd even have the freedom to experiment or just be a lazy ass. But he pissed all of that trying to prove himself to people who honestly don't give a fuck. They post some shit, have a laugh and move on. Meanwhile Phil's out buying houses he can't afford and moving across the country to try and shut down his critics. Who does that?

I actually didn't see the ticks to confirm he'd eaten the hot dogs... Wow. I'm speechless

I'd expect a family with kids to have a whiteboard to keep track of school things, sports, family events etc... Not a ~30yr old stay at home 'former pro fighting game player'; but with autism might help him stay calm

What a coward he is trying to get as much tard cum as possible but it will not work because most people are seeing through it, his last stream pissed a lot of people off even fucking Swagginz of all people. Now he will play muh depression.

Just pathetic like worse than wingz.

Yup. I can see it now. He might not say it tomorrow, or even this week, but at some point we'll have a pre-stream where he goes "Okay guise I'm gonna be honest with you. You know how you guise are always complaining "(flails around) Aw Phil's sick again. Phil's throat is messed up. He's always calling out when he should be on here playing games and having fun with us. Real talk, okay? I've..actually been...really depressed lately. Ya know it's holidays and everyone's with their families having fun and I'm here streaming okay? And people just aren't "participating" ya know. I'm working my ASS off and no one's really showing up, no one's participating like they used to, the billz are piling up. This is suppose to be the hardcome gayming season and the best time of the year for me but it's not. So...I've been..taking some time off cause...it's just kind of bummer, ya know. And peepul are gonna be like "Oh that's bullshit Phil! We saw you posting pics on instagram of you buying new PS4s and staying in fancy hotels and eating fancy restaurants. And you know what I say to that? Fuck you! Seriously! Fuck! You! Do you think all of that stuff buys happiness? No it doesn't. That's not how depression works. You don't just magically feel better because you buy stuff...but...sometimes I do that ya know, in a moment of weakness cause I feel like it might help. Because muh depression makes me do dumb shit and I need a break from all da negativity. I NEED that time off to get out of the house and rest ya know? And I know it's dumb. Muh bills are piling up and I'm out "having a blast" right? No. It's fucking st00pid d00d, but muh depression makes me do dumb things. And I'm now I'm kinda fucked from it, AGAIN. So I hope you guys see where I'm coming from. But what I really, REEEEEALLLY need now from people is to step up and participate okay. This year was really bad, but if we just pull through, push forward positively blah blah talking in circles for the next two hours.."

I just want to remind everyone that even fucking WingsOfRedemption, a person who actually once stated, “ban any variation of laughter,” was able to admit that the only reason he’s staying afloat and isn’t in dire straits is because of his detractors. He admitted that they were drawing an audience and actually drawing an audience that would stay and watch, and now he’s looking into finding ways to convert them.

Wings is an OG CoD commentator who hit pretty big success for a while, and has fought his detractors tooth and fucking nail for years now. He has never really had a favorable opinion about trolls and it’s like a light went on in his head. Even WingsOfFuckingRedemption realizes he could cash in if he just worked with the trolls instead of against them.

Will Phil ever reach these levels of understanding? I wanna say I doubt it. At the very least Wings is a pretty social person and can actually be a likeable person sometimes. Phil is a miserable fucking sourpuss who has zero sense of humor. Jordie can at least admit he’s fat and lazy. Phil attributes it to illnesses and shit, and I don’t know about you guys, but if I have a mild cold I can’t afford to take work off for it. It just cannot happen. Unless I’m sick with something contagious, I HAVE to be there. Phil has obviously found a supreme enabler in Kat, someone who is only interested in money and gives him helpful hints on how to make more (make your birthday stream last a week).

I genuinely don’t see Phil ever snapping out of it. Even when this whole thing falls apart we will still see him posting videos to his YouTube ghost town, yelling into the void blaming detractors that aren’t even watching anymore. He’s the type of person who will sell semen and plasma 7 days a week just to avoid doing any real work.

I think even Phil knows he could make so much more money if he just embraced the fact that he’s a lolcow. But somehow, he still has pride. Idk where he gets it from, or where he stuffs it when he drops to his knees and opens his mouth wide to suck all that money from kids and exceptional individuals, but he has it, and that pride won’t allow him to sit there while people laugh at him. He still bitches about people laughing at him instead of with him. Also Wings has given up, I believe he’s truly depressed, hates his life, and knows that this his only way forward. Phil will cling to his delusions until he dies. His last words will be “I did nothing wrong.”

TL;DR: He’s a soy boi with paper thin skin, and can’t risk his precious ego getting hurt.

Yeah it's the same as how he won't play Soul Caliber because he can't learn it well enough "to be competitive"; even though he's not a competitive player and he's only going to play it for a month so there's no reason to try and get to a high level of skill in the game. A normal streamer would play it, laugh about how bad they are, joke about "DOOD MY SF2 COMBOS AREN'T WORKING WHAT DO I DO" and then move on.

Instead, he's still got this delusion about being a FGC player, where if he plays a fighting game he expects himself to be a top tier competitor.

He even said he put on Bob Ross during SFV because he wouldn't be able to "do anything impressive" like he's done anything impressive in a fighting game ever on his streams.

There are a couple of things going on here that I would like to talk about: first his DrunksydeDave stream was a disaster both his ego and his wallet which he thought was going to get filled by his Paypigs for it to only turn into a normal day. Second this whole cold/voice going out thing seems to have happened right when people might have received a bit more money to pass his way I expect him to have a miracle recovery for tonight's stream and please note he doesn't save the pre stream for the night streams so I expect him to whine about money and try to drum up pity for a "cold". Lastly this illness will most likely come out as depression a serious mental illness which happens to not show symptoms. Sorry for the long post but I have been enjoying family time this weekend. Which I hope you are doing too.
