he just equates pop-ups telling him he did something good to real world credentials.. it's just another weird sporadic compulsion he doesn't seem able to control

It's sad, but PS4 trophies are probably the only thing he's accomplished lately now that he's a hermit that doesn't leave his house nor has any hobbies.

 

[actually]

Phil seems desperate for people to tell him where these cultists are so he can finish as soon as possible. Yet he felt he had to 100% this game for some reason.

Phil's eternal paradox.

It is really funny how he wants to claim gaming greatness but is not willing to either 1) be entertaining while trying to figure things out or 2) just admit that he doesn't actually want to 100% these games. It's very similar to when he tries to speedrun through a section of a Soulsborne game and get destroyed by junk enemies that he could beat in 2 hits if he stopped to do so.

Bobbi_Ling in full-on detractor mode, btw

Yeah, I'm not sure of the exact date he went "full-on detractor mode" (I remember it being around the time "actormichaelmerchant" went. Late October, I think?) You can see Bobbi Ling's Tweets start to criticize him for modding Swagginz, then cease messaging him in August.

This could be added to my "Timetable of Phil's Promises" idea from yesterday (not a "promise", but still notable). We've so far passed my guess of a week

He carried all those broken office chairs to the landfill all by himself!

@actually Could you give me a refresher on the estimate of Phil's take for December? Was it as high as 20k?

I'm just wondering here really because skimming any recent activity he doesn't appear to be particularly on edge considering we're now less than 4 months away from needing the additional $16,000. How much do we think he has left to make up on that? Despite the total the begathons all seemed like a a washout right?

While not terribly successful it doesn't seem like it'll matter much either. Nothing about him seems to give off the air of a guy who's about #losethahause. I'm speculating he's probably already had some form of adequate behind the scenes donations. We already know from his leaked email if this were to actually happen he wouldn't reveal it afterall. Well heh we didn't even need that to know he'll never call time on begging folks to save the wounded wallet.

He may not have the full amount but he's definitely not sweating enough (anymore than he normally does anyways) for my liking. I wish we could skip ahead to mid-April already to shock some life into this boring bastard and see him gyrate and try to force feed the chat more of those crocodile tears.

That's what I've been saying. We've seen Phil be in "panic mode" before when he was trying to drum up support. Flailing arms, freaking out, etc. "There's NO PLAN B! I'm gonna lose the house d00d and I'm trapped here with my soulmate! I can't get a job or move home! It doesn't work like that! I HAVE TO DO THIS IS MY LIFE D00D!!!111"

Last year around this time when he got that huge donation he was doing the whole prayer pose and saying "Thank you thank you thank you thank you this will help soooo much omg thank you thank you".

This year is apparently the worst of all and he's SERIOUSLY gonna lose the house d00d but he just seems chill. He got the 16k and was like "K cool but I still need 3-4 more caus da bills ya know?" Like he can't even put in the effort to act panicked or hopeless anymore. He's literally just like "Okay guys my parents are in bad health and I'm about to the lose house so I need 16k to pay my taxes. But if shit goes bad then I'll just have to work harder next year, and the year after." Wuuut? No sense of urgency or anything.

So either he's not sweating shit cause he's fine atm or he's gotten comfortable going into his "panic modes" and reaping the benefits every time so now he's dropped the facade and is expecting the cash to just flow in.

Why wouldn't he be relaxed when he's most of the way towards his "goal" already. After asking for a ridiculous amount of money and getting most of it easily, he's got to be feeling pretty cocky and relaxed. If there was any real financial pressure and the $16K needed for "taxes" was legit, Emeraldseven mostly took care of it already. If Phil didn't really need it, all the more reason to not worry.

On the subject of DSP smoking weed...

I wouldn’t say it is out of the realm of possibility. Let’s remember that Maddox, a guy who had a very, VERY negative opinion about drugs and people who use them, is obsessed with edibles now.

Edibles are awesome and everything, but I would recommend some THC vape cartridges... Things can get you absolutely BLASTED. So go for that, DSP.

I always saw him as more of cocaine kind of guy. It would explain why he’s such a spaz in his vlahgs, flailing, bug eyes, and such. It might also explain the snorting. I knew people who used to do coke a lot, and they always snorted like hell during and after.

 

[boxybum]

I have noticed that when Tevin doesn't restream DSP he makes little to no money. These past few days he has been making pretty much minimum wage and Tevin is absent. He really needed to come up with a new sob story for this year. the April taxes wasn't enough.

FWIW, I haven't noticed any correlation one way or another. When Tevin is streaming there tend to be a few more troll cheers and such, but not much. The success of Phil's streams pretty much boil down to "did 1-3 people drop a large amount of bits, gift a bunch of subs, or tip a lot"? That's it.

Just a theory -

as he is on the spectrum of a number of development / mental health related disorders (such as possibly autism, narcissistic personality disorder, Asperger syndrome etc), his behavior/actions seem to a 'normal' person that he would have to be taking illicit drugs

Yeah, I think that's basically it. Just like today nobody really "stepped up", besides the pretty much daily $10 donation by that Henk Douma guy. Next to that a couple of $1 tips, and I'm counting about 1250 bits cheered since the stream started. Looks like one of his "slowest" streams to date. I think he made about $40 (subs included) in roughly 6 hours.

And now he's rushing to complete that goddamn boring as fuck AC: Odyssey, literally counting down the minutes he has left on stream. No clue on why he thought it was a good idea to 100% this fucking borefest, out of all games.
Luckily, the game is trolling him by glitching him out twice in a row on two completely seperate occasions, forcing him to redo two missions he already finished.

Merry 4,000 pages, to all you fucked in the head individuals!!

Let's keep up the positivity. Sound good??

if only tkoh forums were so active

He just finished the last quest, which was very anti-climactic. Oh, and DSP received a small reward for completing this quest:

Probably around $55-60 between cheers, subs, and tips, but yeah, about $35 from just cheers and subs. Definitely a slow one today for some reason. Of course, somebody will probably show up tonight, so it doesn't mean a lot.

Edit: On a related note, this little bit from after the recording for Youtube was cut:

(Not exact quotation) "Well, it was a slow stream, but I figured it would be since this was the last stream of AC Odyssey. Thank goodness..."

Can someone remind me who it was that forced him to chase down the cultists again?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3818ZIdOR0o&lc= not to self advertise but I made this video as a joke a while back(before the E7 thing I believe) and I somehow predicated some shit Dave would do like needing even more money, complaining he has to pay more taxes lmao this guy is so predictable what a joke.

the only time that happened, iirc, was the """"""anonymous"""" donation that happened just when phil """""""accidentally""""""" turned off something so chat didn't see

 

[Gout of Redemption]

Yinno I was actually thinking about those big ass fucking "anonymous" big donations that he claims to get. Maybe since it's been proven hes willing to take money behind the scenes, is that his way of telling his stream that hes received them so he seems transparent? Or does he just say he gets the big donations to try and entice his piggies into trying to "one-up" the donation and actually give him some insane shit like $1K, it's also entirely possible that he has taken a few grand behind the scenes without telling anyone anything because that is something he would most certainly do as well.

DSP convinces himself sometimes that he has to play bad games or play things he doesn't want to because that's what his audience wants.

Edit: He's playing Call of Duty tonight even though he clearly hates the game.

 

[Sparkletor]

If Assassin's Creed was such a bad game, why does Kat play it instead of spending time with the love of her life?
