DSP: "I have to visit CT and see sick parents in 2019" - most dramatic event of all of 2019 so far

[cyberdog150]

So I guess Phil just erased all memory of Leanna because apparently he's meeting his parents' cat for the "first time", even though he saw that cat in like 2014 with Leanna.

She is in good company with any thing he might have learned in school/college, life and work.

Erase who? Who is this character you talking about?

 

[Meech]

Lol that head to body ratio

While that's a nice looking claw machine, he should know those things are rigged harder than Sekiro, multiplied by Bloodborne, to the power of Souls. Those fucking things can be set to not allow a win, until a certain number of plays have been made.

I'm well aware of this... but I will still play a claw machine a couple times if I have a couple bucks cash.

Good to know that he finally have had his "REAL AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PIZZA", but if he have such problems with 3 hours time difference he should avoid Europe as it is 8-10 hours difference!

I like how in this roughly 260 character Tweet barely 2 characters could maybe, possibly be interpreted as vaguely having something to do with Katherine if you squinted and completely ignored that he's a self-absorbed asshole who was speaking in the context of how sleepy he feels. You know, Katherine, the love of his life, his Soulmate who he brought to CT to meet his parents so he never has to visit again before they die, the girl he wants to marry and spend the rest of his life with after he finishes erasing and saving over the save-file of his first girlfriend by doing exactly the same things? It's almost like she's not even there. . .

His vacation simply HAD to be this week. It was important enough that it was THIS specific week that if he loses his house because he couldn't pay his taxes, so be it. Couldn't go later in the year during weeks that he knows are dead.

Has so little to do there that with his beloved zoo trip delayed, he took Kat to nicer towns than where he grew up and apparently just showed her stores. Looking only. Let's go in this somewhat clean Target and leave. Certainly they wouldn't have bought anything, right? That would be irresponsible. I wonder whose car they're driving.

This all sounds really fucking boring to me, but

Clearly still high on Gin (or Khet is missing) even in his parents' home


11PM my time (US Pacific) so 2AM Conneticut time

All you stupid nudniks don't understand. Phil is making memories that will last a lifetime!!*

*One lifetime of a "Phillip Burnell" to constitute no more than 5 more years due to having a constitution weaker than a level 1 rogue with osteoperosis, an autoimmune disease and gout. THANKS AUNT.

Phil has already made memories that will last a lifetime for many many peepol, okay?

you have that memory too, yes you, the one who is reading this, no? Well how about a reminder

 

[Sparkletor]

Is he talking about his lifetime or the average time he stays alive in a video game?

 

[chicken wings]

IMO there's nothing inherently wrong with taking her the same places he took Panda, unless it's some weird sentimental fantasy and he wants to relive the good memories with his ex, who, to her credit, at least looked like she could stand him.

More like it's the only place he knows. I can't imagine a shut in like him knowing that much of the outside worldTM. He's a high functioning NEET at this point.

 

[Slimy Time]

It has been said before, but outside of Kat, his parents and stream chat, he basically has no one else to talk to.

Not in
Employment
Education, or
Training

He broadcasts the vast majority of the aspects of his life in some regard or another. You'd really call anything about him "high-functioning"? He literally will not leave his house without an escort. (Insert kimberli reference here)

He's a half-step away from reclusiveness. When Fred Meyer starts offering grocery delivery he'll never need to step outside again.

Honestly I don't know how he does it. I went for a month stretch basically being a hermit studying for exams years ago when everyone I knew went home. It was maddening not having anyone to talk to or go out with after 2 weeks. Phil must be so socially stunted after so many years holed up in his house playing games, that's why he whines at the most minor inconvenience like getting carded at a restaurant or having to spend a day in hospital with his now ex gf.

1. Convince Kat to go visit his parents with the promise of a zoo day (is the zoo by him even any good? Aren't there zoos in Seattle? Does Kat even like zoos?)

2. Don't check the weather forcast.

3. Walk around (multiple apparently) shopping malls.


Imagine having to walk around MORE THAN ONE shopping mall on the same day with this fat fuck who needs to waddle along. LOOK KHET ANOTHER STARBUCKS. LOOK KET AN AMERICAN CANDLE.

Having worked from home for a long period myself (though I've at least had the kids around to break up some of the monotony) I can say almost for certain that the way he "experiences" life has hit Phil hard in the mental ghoulies. When you live in the same boxed in physical and mental space for the majority of your waking hours with little in the way of interaction with others - the kind of interaction that requires you to actually have a two-way conversation not a I'm talking at you and selectively choosing what to respond to conversation, anything that infringes on you from the outside and its effect on you is amplified far more than if you were making any kind of effort to step outside into reality and get some sunlight, fresh air and casual chat with people you know. He really has so little going on outside his own drama of mild discomfort bubble (strikes me as high level social media addiction at this point) that yes in the average day of DSP having to change a lightbulb is actually a huge deal and major inconvenience to him. He so highly prioritizes the maximum amount of lazy leisure time he can get in that any normal life happning that he hasn't planned for during the day is seen as an attack on his person, his schedule and his life.

He's probably going through physical withdrawl symptoms right now that he's been forced outside the bubble for a whole week. Just wanting to "play games and have fun" is a form of mental defence against reality itself and not being able to sit and act like his usual spedant self on stream will probably have those leg tremors jangling into overboost mode. Despite living in the hell of his own making he's still halfway comfortable there and "reactionary commentary" to life itself away from that is where his improv gets tested and how dull he truly is exposed. This is a guy who doesn't listen to music at all outside his own streams.. what in god's name is he going to talk to her about for an entire week? Katherine being Kat-atonic as usual flexes his freakish luck since he's picked up a girl who probably doesn't have anything to say either. Wait for the vacation review where it was simultaneously the most amazing time because of Katherine and the worst experience of his life because of absolutely everything else that happened throughout. Detractor rain has already sabotaged his Joel and Ellie moment at the zoo with Katherine.. when he finally goes will a Guardian Ape fire shit at him that he won't be able to parry because he doesn't like Say kear ho?

I'm going to take a sympathetic view for a minute:

1. Phil is paranoid. Khet is paranoid. In his mind, he can't show specific locations they're at because the trolls will stalk them, and she refuses to be in any pictures for fear of being called a horse.
2. He's hanging with his parents in a not-exactly-exciting area, so there's not much to do or show. Times are tough because of tax debt, so not much money to throw around shopping either.
3. All of his long days streaming and jet lag have drained him, so he doesn't have the energy to explore.

Or maybe he's a narrow-minded, boring, imagination-less blob who takes no joy from life and is only visiting his parents to get money from them before they die of a life-threatening illness 20 years from now, and Khet isn't even there, making it extra hard to be in a picture with Phil.

I could go either way...

I'm on the side of this is supposed to be break from work (lol I know), with parents who have nothing to do with this autism and a woman who wants nothing to do with this autism. I can't say I blame I him for him not showing too much, not everyone takes photos of every single thing every 5 seconds. If this is him protecting Khet and his parents from the autism he drowns in daily, I can't say I blame him. If anything, at least it shows some level of awareness. Don't wanna risk your family being harrassed? Don't show your family.

Hopefully he's having a good time out and about with his parents. Maybe he'll see someone he used to know and act like a decent person and just shoot the shit with them. I'm too optimistic for my own good I know. But him socializing won't do him any harm, only good. So I hope he tries.
