Phil loves Tyrant Slaughter because he can mash it out any time an opponent is doing an attack and generally run them down with it for heavy damage. Aegis reflector would require that he be able to competently do combos, and he can't.

The thing is that using Aegis is easy to do. You don't absolutely need to do the fancy shit with him in order to win. If you want to play 40 year old chain smoking Japanese dudes at Co-Op Cup and try to win then you need to know the fancy shit.


It's very easy to use Aegis, you can cancel from a shoulder charge to make yourself safe and get free corner pressure, you can even do wakeup EX Aegis and you're almost completely safe. They can still hit you on wakeup with a low or with certain supers like say Hugo's 720 Grab super. It's also a waste of meter to use it like that but you can do it and it is an option. Charge-partition combos are a whole other story but you don't NEED to use them to win with Urien. Not unless you plan on going to tournaments of course.

I'm telling you, Phil is just a contrarian faggot and doesn't want to use Aegis on Urien because he thinks he's special.

I also laughed at the "He counter picked me!" Bullshit because the guy used Remy, right? Remy is bottom tier in 3rd Strike. He is one of the worst characters in the game. So is Q. Q is very low tier and takes a lot of skill to make him look good.

Why might he beg so fervently now? That money is in an IRA he can't draw from without a sizable penalty. I have no doubt he is making less from YT and Pay-me-tons. His Twitch, however had made up for that with regular growth from $5k-$9k+/ month. I fear, however, that for the moment D$P has had his bluff called post Tut and E7 windfalls. In time these will be forgotten as old names are replaced by new ones and D$P rewrites his 10 Year legacy to best suit what he needs it to be atm.

While it's very easy to set up an IRA account and deposit the ~$5000-$6000 year over year, he has such a long track record of just setting money on fire. I would think a 'traditional' IRA would be the greatest thing he could discover, because then he could reduce his tax liability for the year. It'd blow his mind that SEP IRA's / solo 401ks exist which could've greatly reduced that liability further and put him in a very comfy position for retirement, given that the U.S. stock market has been on a 10 year bull run since the '08 recession.

I think the biggest thing he's recently mentioned is his credit card minimum payments. I still don't believe that the Federal Reserve increasing rates by 0.5% will have resulted in his minimum payments doubling. I think one of two things happened that shows just how much Phil's poor habits are catching up to him.

First, if he's been opening up credit lines and transferring balances he's been trying to take advantage of 'introductory' rates where you can get 0% for 12-18 months if you pay 3% upfront on the balance. With this scenario, depending on how much debt you have, you could effectively hold off for 5+ years by jockeying around your balances. The key thing here being that you do not go 1 day over the introductory period because the credit card company will back charge all the finance charges if you do.

The second thing, which I think is fucking him more, is that his debt / normal expenses is outgrowing his income. This would result in his credit utilization increasing, which could knock his credit score down to a low enough bracket. I imagine he does not have fixed rates on credit card debt, meaning that he has a variable rate that'll adjust based on his own financial 'health'.

So overall, I still think he's making bank from this 'business' even though some of his things like Patreon and YT ads are drying up. But, considering that he mentioned his CT condo payments are at least $1,000 month gives you an idea of just how much goes out of his pocket monthly for stupid expenses like that. At minimum, $12k a year already gone from your coffers.

Which leads me to ultimately believe that his retirement lies in his inheritance from his parents - and I do think they actually have a good enough savings set aside, along with their house too.

No one will be surprised if Phil is found beaten and bloody in a ditch in Renton somewhere. All he does is make enemies and piss people off for no reason. It is bad enough he has a smug face that only a brick would cure but everything that comes out of his mouth is pure vitriol.

Stay in your safe space Phil. It’s the only way.

Phil would have to actually leave his condo by himself, which never happens. Phil only goes anywhere with Kat and in public spaces with lots of people around (grocery store, mall, IKEA, restaurants, tourist attractions). He's absolutely terrified at the thought of doing anything by himself in the slim chance he ever bumps into someone that doesn't like him. This is a person who is too scared to go pick up a pizza that is 5 minutes away from his condo and has to have it delivered. Even a genuine fan saying "Phil?" to him at the mall is enough to have him running (well, more like waddling) away. It's why he won't go to any tournaments or cons in the area without bodyguards to protect him (naturally, he wouldn't pay for this, the event organizers would have to cover this expense), because Phil knows he's pissed off so many people in the past that someone might just confront him. There are plenty of stories of Phil being confronted and him immediately backing down. The man is a coward who doesn't want to be held accountable for the shit he does, so he stays in his safe spaces of his condo, Twitter, Twitch and the tumbleweed forum, where he can conveniently mock people from afar and ban them when they're not intimidated/they win the argument.

I just learned more about fighting games from you in that 1 comment than I ever have watching Dave play. Sad a professional can't be more educational about a genre he apparently used to love playing.

Right? Lately he said "I could show you so much stuff if the game would run with normal speed", which then raised my personal reaction of "Dood, Zangief won't be able to use magic all of a sudden. All I see is you using the same save three moves available to you". I'm not a fighter gamer, I'm horrible at this and I have no fun in most PvP games, so all I see is a coward repeating a boring cycle. Most noticeable with Guile.

Every time he died the person was just coming round a corner or behind him etc. I swear to christ it's like he forgets we can see the game and just throws shit out there hoping it sticks. I can't really speak to the lag excuses, like when he says his bullets just weren't connecting. But that sounds an awful lot like stuff I used to say when I was 14 getting my shit pushed in by much better players.
Click to expand...
Maybe he should call it "connection delay" instead of "lag" bc the latter would mean the game suddenly skipped frames or the enemy teleports around, which never happens in his ego shooters. The thing with connection delay is: It's as good as unavoidable because technology is limited, which is especially true the more players are involved.
Literally any online game I played had some "Got shot through the walls"-moments, BUT not all of them had anything to do with delay. Got shot in the foot, enemy moved with me without me noticing so the wall did nothing, there were more enemies in front of me as I could observe so I died "instantly from one person". (Edit: Or my player model was big enough to get shot. Just because my field of vision is behind a wall doesn't mean my entire model is hidden). Have I really moved as shown in the kill cam? Who knows, the difference is 1 to 5 frames, the normal human reaction time is way slower anyway.
However Phil calling "THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT HAPPENED ON MY SCREEN" as if the killcam rewrote history is a way different pair of shoes. Yes, this happened, with 1 to 5 frames of delay. Broken memory mechanics. So, as said, he just shouts something really quick to defend his fragile ego, without thinking.

The best is when Dave moans about switching spawns (yes, can happen but mostly not when he calls it out). As someone said, he's incapable of understanding flanking AND that developers are not at fault for people's play styles.
Siiigh the attacked me as a team,
Sigh they camped there,
Siiigh they flanked me,
FUCK YOU Treyarch.
What does Treyarch has to do with that? They only created the frame in which people are free to do what they want. And Phil wants to play by his own limited stupid rules.

I know I'm late to the party, but this guy's just Phil, right?


Only follows him, replies in almost the exact same format to all of Phil's post-stream tweets, using the same style and shitty 80s movie GIFs. Retweets almost every positive response to one of Phil's tweets, but I can't find anything of his in chat unless he uses a different name.

I'm just going to assume Phil uses this account to aggregate the few nice comments he gets so he can look back on them at 3 AM. Plus, if he tweets out what "Phil" wants to do with his time and one person agrees, that counts as "A ladda Peepul"!

At a certain point Phil has to realize that bitching about online play vs offline play is ignorant. Someone who never plays anybody offline just needs to learn the online system and loopholes. Bitching about it constantly after not having played a single game with a human player offline in over 5 years is ridiculous.

Just an observation, but has Phil ever taken any drugs that would explain his "MethMouth"?

Most of these images are taken from different streams, despite the consistent piss-poor color palette (bugged lighting mechanics)...

It’s not something I think Dave has he just knows his smile is scary and keeps it tucked away, he’s shown his smile before and it’s legit nightmare fuel with oversized goofy teeth. He’s just self conscious about, now the slack jawed thing he does is bother matter idk what the deal with that is with the left side of his mouth looking very odd when extended open.

Does anybody remember which video features DSP's tale about how he fell asleep on his couch, Kat woke him up and he jumped up so fast he destroyed his knee?

December 6th, 2018 Prestream
From @flatsoda a transcription
My knee is shot, I screwed it up last night. It's a funny story. So, last night, well, yesterday it was my day off, and Kat and I went out and had a nice day together. We went out and did all kinds of things: ran errands, and you know, some shopping we had to do, and all kinds of stuff. We do all this stuff and we got home, and Kat's really tired! She's just completely drained, she's like, 'I kind of want to go to sleep. I know it's a little early, but I'm shot!' I said, 'Okay! Go right ahead! I'm not tired yet! Go ahead! Get to sleep and I'll join you later.' So, she goes to sleep. I'm downstairs, I'm basically getting caught up on my wrestling and stuff for the week. Actually, we had just gotten Hulu, 'cuz Kat got a free trial of Hulu to see how it was. And so, we did this Hulu, I'm watching Smackdown on Hulu and enjoying it. I'm like 'Wow! This is pretty good! I'm probably going to get rid of PSVue, 'cuz it's too expensive.' Which I did, by the way, I got rid of it. Hulu was $45 a month, excuse me, PSVUE was $45 a month! Hulu was, like, $12! And I'm like, 'Hulu has all the shit I watch on, anyway.' So, I dumped PSVue to save money. Okay? So, anyway, I'm watching wrestling, and all of a sudden, I fall asleep! On the couch, okay? I pass out on the couch. And it's the middle of the night, Kat had woken up and realized that I had never come upstairs to bed. She comes down to get me, and so I jump up. 'Cuz, I realize now, oh my God, it's the middle of the night, I had fallen asleep on the couch! So, I jump up off my couch, and I say, 'Oh, man! I screwed up! I fell asleep! Let me get up, let's go quickly together and let's go to sleep!' But, I jumped off the couch too fast, 'cuz I had just woken up. And immediately I got hit with a wave of dizziness, and I fell backwards, back onto the couch, on top of my right knee. And EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN MUSCLE IN MY RIGHT KNEE PULLED SIMULTANEOUSLY AT THE SAME TIME! It just went 'R-I-I-P-P-P-P!' And, I was like, 'Orgasm moan This sucks! This pain out the ass!' and I was like, 'This really stinks!' So, yes it was a botch! Yes, Coverse, it was a botch. I watch wrestling all night then I have my own botch! So, then I limped upstairs! hyena laugh Got to sleep, woke up this morning, okay? And I'm like, 'orgasm moan My fucking knee! This sucks!' So, anyway, the reason I'm bringing this up, if I'm a little bit on the slower side today, moving around and getting stuff set up. For example, when I move from console to PC and back, with the webcam and the microphone and everything. I'm going to be a little bit on the slower side, I'm hobbling around the house today. My knee is killing me. But I'm hoping that within a couple of days here, my fucking knee will be better! Usually it does! Usually, when I hurt my knee, it hurts real bad for like one day and then it gradually gets better. It takes around 3-4 days. It sucks, 'cuz I have weak knees! I've had things happen to my knees, in my life before. And in this particular case, I literally said, 'R-I-I-I-P!' pulled every muscle in the knee at once! And it's pretty bad. But, it's alright, I'm here streaming everyday for the next four days anyway! Good thing this happened last night, and not like yesterday, when I needed to be out and about all day. This is actually a good timing for it to happen"

It's really odd - his default facial expression looks like a pissed off pensioner with their falsers out. His lips look like they don't have teeth to support them, giving them that classic methhead look. Another thing meth addicts are known for in my country is begging... If he wasn't such a fatass, he'd fit the bill.
