Apparently, the only 2 ways of improving your laptop's performance is having a windows restore disc or buying a new one. He literally admits to being too fucking lazy to do it manually.

For what it's worth, with Phil's track record, anything related to computing (and eletronics and tech in general) might as well be some advanced wizardry. He's the kinda guy who'd call help desk to ask if clippy can steal cookie recipes from his email.
 
Honestly, if your computer is 5+ years old, you could easily restore it with a USB drive, but the hardware advances so quickly that I don't fault someone for just buying a new computer every 3-5 years.

Same with TVs. I typically throw out my TVs instead of replacing them as @Asperchewy hates, but by then they are usually 5-7 years old or more at that point. Actually, my main living room TV is 10+ years and counting (I bought it right before UFC 100).

Phillip.. did you not just finish streaming Minecraft about an hour ago?

Kind of sad because I remember Brian invited Phil to play with him sometime when they were doing Apex together. He was cool with offering to handhold him through the whole thing but you know Phil never wants to touch a game where an experienced community each gets their turn at paddling him.

No way dude! Got to stick to the game where I'm guaranteed minimum wage from someone that wants to pay me to copy and paste guides in my chat.

Like so many things, it depends on the need. Phil is normie scum (but wouldn't have to be with one afternoon's research and a bit of elbow grease...haha, I know, the very idea, right?) and so what he'd be looking at is a GPU upgrade once every 3-4 years IF he wanted to be playing new releases on Very High, which, let's face it, would likely make his eyes bleed, a potential one-time power supply upgrade and possibly more RAM, which would be likely a one-time thing as well. For what he spends on a new console (that's one new console per generation, when the fool buys more than one) he could play every new release and have access to the largest library of cheap-as-free games in existence. Most new games have controller support, so no reason to whine about his precious hands and wrists hurting, and he wouldn't need to invest in a new controller as X360 controllers work fine provided his haven't been battered into nonfunctionality. An entirely new system is warranted if you're running a Pentium II with a whopping 512 megs RAM and a CRT. Phil's lemon could be easily rehabilitated with the take from one or two First-Time Marathons.

You do realize he used to play PC games back when he recorded on camcorder. But then he tried to play one game on max settings while streaming and probably had other programs running in the background and it was too choppy.

People gave him advice on how to fix the issues, but no. Streaming on PC is physically impossible.

Phil has only streamed a handful of simple indie games on PC ever since.
 
Okay this time I'll post this with extra receipts.
A negotiation between Phil. https://youtu.be/BIdyBWd-4mc will be at 19:14 This is from before the prestream. https://archive.li/20190610133232/h...phil-theycallmedsp-phil-burnell.975/page-4441

Wait a fucking second. Phil intents to play or has he played Ace Attorney? I doubt he has enough brainpower to push himself through the second trial
I think he's on the fifth case right now. I can hardly stand to watch him play those nights thought because he insists on "voice acting" and poorly to boot, if you can believe it.
 
"voice acting"
I understand your suffering, brother. I doubt not many people would have the patience to wade through Pokemon Sun and Moon too. But it really surprises me he got so far because AA series is about puzzles and deduction, something Phil lacks. Either he's terribly lucky with his hunches, uses a guide on the side or the chat is handholding him through the game.

Worse. He's save-scumming, or at least he was, iirc, so his audience gets to watch him not only bruteforce his way through a game but restart whenever his boneheaded decisions trip a result he doesn't like.
