Do you think Phil winning 4th at EVO ruined his life?

Like, if they had played the version everyone else wanted at EVO and he got knocked out fast, is it possible Phil's whole life changes and he either never develops such crippling narcissism or never becomes a streamer at all?


I just can't help but feel like the singular moment that Phil uses to define himself is actually the absolute worst thing that derailed his life into this slow and toxic death spiral.

Doubtful. He already had an ego and a 4th place win is hardly something to brag out. If it were the Olympics, that's not even a Bronze medal and that's fucking pathetic. But not to Phil.

Yeah in the handful of videos & any forum archive you find of him from before Le Epic EVO Win you can tell from the audible background reactions to whatever he's saying, and responses to his posts that he managed to earn a well-established status among his peers as an insipid piece of shit WAY before 2004.

If he had not placed 4th there, he'd just be unironically using something even more embarrassing as his sigblock (i.e. "Ranked 12th out of 15, American Skee-Ball Player @ Showbiz Pizza's All-American Connecticut Lil Tykes Skee-Ball Competition, 2008")

I won't say that it wasn't already in his brain, but I think getting 4th place and earning a bit of notoriety out of it in his insulated community partially led to his modern mindset of "I can be a loser, but as long as the people doing it better than me are OTHER (be it Japanese fighting game players, youtube sellouts, drama whores, detractors) then I'm still the superior one."

He's the best, most successful little guy, a ten year content creator with a house and a girl and a career. And everyone more well-off or popular than he is, well, they're just shills or liars or don't deserve it, because they aren't him.

Because he's in fourth place. A loser. But at least he isn't one of THEM. So he's better.

 

[Coin Ops]

He would be scared stupid to go to Texas. Loose gun laws + possible detractors = "Muh detractors are gonna shoot me dood!"

Texas is too damn manly for DSP.

 

[That Hedonist Nerd]

The interesting thing is that his lack of humility is what does him in.

One of the biggest benefits of being humble, of showing humility, is that it strengthens social bonds. All of your favorite youtubers (Non-drama related) you probably think of them as an 'Average Joe'. Dave is the complete opposite.

 

[Pargon]

What the fuck is this guy talking about, genuinely? Is he like roleplaying as Kat? The first one about beef tits (ribs? or beef tips?) is kinda normal but then he just segues into this insane rambling. Then he's obsessed with trying to get Phil to say boo-cocky and then apparently elbowing the chat to see if they heard him say it after paying Phil like 5 more dollars. I cant tell hater, troll, stupidity and genuine fan apart anymore.

I think this is someone taking a crack at non sequitur but not having the ear for it and just tumbling headlong into the Lolrandum pitfall.

That or the guy was just drunk off his ass.

 

[actually]

Just as a general heads-up, the monthly roundup probably won't go up until tomorrow night or even Friday. Currently on a work trip, and to say this hotel's wifi is ass is an insult to asses everywhere.

The alternative is to put up everything else except for the tips information, but I feel like that'll just sow massive confusion, so I'm going to wait.

 

[Frazzle]

If Phil had some nuts he would do his monthly beg-a-thon as an IRL stream with TTS while walking around the mall or some shit and set it to a $10-20 minimum. He would potentially make $10,000+ in a damn day off the speds that try to troll him and all the bystanders that would be brought in by that spectacle.

Edit: On second thought nuts wouldn't be the main problem. I don't think he could manage walking longer than 30 minutes so a day long IRL stream would be a real problem for him.

He could do TTS, set it to $10 and just sit on his crusty couch. He'd get $500-$1000 easy from both trolls and his dumbass fans tipping. For fuck's sake, someone (cuz you know it's the same person) regularly tips with names like "Wet farts", "Warm farts", "Cake farts", and so on. If those names were being read out by a robot voice?

Edit: Can't resist a little monthly stuff--Phil got ~25% of his estimated monthly Twitch money during his begathon right before he went to CT for his secret marriage. ~50% of his tip money for the month was also given that day. Can't wait to see just how much some of the paypigs (lookin' at you planetjeff) gave him this month in tips.

Nah if not then he'd be creaming his panties all the live long day about winning those Evo regional's a few years later which is the minor leagues but knowing him he'd find a way to spin it.

Tonight on the 2nd stream of DK3, he knocked his rabbit off the couch and it fell behind. He climbed up over the couch on stream with his ass directly hanging out in front of the camera. I saw skin.

 

[N0thingICanDo]

Phil apparently skips Day Gone 2 to Day Gone 10 and will stream

Day Gone 11

tomorrow.....................

Comon man Pro-streamer? Zero effort to put into his own Wordpad schedule?

This guy is so lazy its unbelievable,

"Oh someone bought me Day Gone? Let me just scratch Mortal Kombat on my schedule and replace with Day Gone, and thanks for the money dummy"

He still hasn't fixed the PDT/PDT, either. I'm continually amazed by his lack of effort in everything.

Good of you to spare both Phil and the IRS from having to refresh their screens so often for no reason until then.

Not much to see here, but there's one thing that strikes me: the way he tries to pull himself up and move around on the couch makes him look like an elderly person.

Not surprised that with his ten year legacy he's got the physiology of a man 20 years older.

Phil, jobs suck, but most give even the laziest fuck a bit of exercise. No one is envious of that life that lead to that gif.

The matted hair at the back lends a bit of credence to the idea that Phil 100% rolls out of bed (or off the couch) and starts streaming without so much as running a a brush through that rat's nest that adorns The Scalp of Hate - let alone giving it a wash. Also by the looks of it he's gonna need to take another full 12 hour work day off soon for an appointment with the exterminator hairdresser before he develops an authentic italian mullet. What an unkempt fucker.

He absolutely does, and freely admits to doing so. I think it was just last week he talked about one of the things he had to do between streams was take a shower. So yes, he goes literally straight from bed into his office and fires up the stream, marinating still in his own filth and not even having the good grace to take a dump before starting things up (or not telling his fucking audience that he needs to do so).

But wait. How does he both wake up and immediately drag his ass to stream AND be busy all morning having breakfast with Khet, "getting ready for streaming" and shit like that? It almost makes it seem like he's lying about doing shit in the morning and just sleeps until 10 minutes before streaming because he was drinking gin and watching WWE all night.

Hmm.

You know, when you put it like that it looks like there are some holes in some of the stories he tells! Phil? Our Boi? A liar??? It cannae be!

Spoiler: Surely there's another explanation!

Palpatine's behind it all!
