I'm surprised the amount of salt CR is managing to produce out of Phil, Dark Souls had lower sodium levels.

Driving games are salt mines for him, with the only exception being Forza with its rewind mechanic. The last NFS game he played was a goddamn thing of beauty.

Obligatory 0utsyder whoring because I'm a Firthy SRUT:

 

[actually]

This stream is just the greatest.

I would not have a problem with DSP having at least one racing game in his schedule at any given time.

-edit- Okay, now he's literally shouting at the game.

i clicked the video and turned to a random time (about 1:25:00
"i wasn't paying attention - ITS MY FAULT"
holy shit, i forgot there was a time when DSP admitted fault.

I wonder if that's because he's aware that many people, myself included, got over 100% in CTR as wee nippers back in the day, and it's crushing him. He feels no joy from playing games, and never is that more evident than when he plays something like this. It's a silly, colourful, speedy kart racer and he's been sat there for hours with a face like a slapped arse, whining because the AI won't roll over and have it's tummy tickled.

He plays games for a living and is comparing this to Dark Souls to justify being shit at it. Embarrassing.

 

[Maldron the Assassin]

The chat is in 2 minute slow mode. He's getting completely tilted from this game.

 

[MarineTrainedTard]

lmao he can't even beat a kid's racing game, he's an actual, literal sped, he may seriously belong in a group home

Looks like Eternal Napalm is (shocker) yet another garbage mod. The following apparently warranted a perma-ban:

"This game emphasizes driving skill over lucky op items that's the distinction lol"

Weird question, but why is he playing this character? Is he trying to get used to his soon-to-be hairstyle?

 

[ANDS!]

His chat is in HEAVY mod mode at this point. And can you imagine having this many viewers and managing to only gin up 80 bucks in tips? Amazing.

 

[whereicantfollow]

Imagine being a 37 year old man sitting on a crusty couch raging at a casual kart racing game because you are bad.

The hell happened to all his subs, last time I looked he was at well over 550.

Now hes at less than 500.

 

[Royalty Free Fish Food]

Reading the discription of how much salt this game is generating makes me actually want to watch an unedited archive.

Phil's legitimate subs are between 450 and 500. In order to hit the sub goal, someone almost always drops a bunch of gifted subs. These gifted subs are distributed at random to anyone who follows Phil. Since you must be a follower to talk in chat, there are thousands of followers who got banned for trolling and never unfollowed. These dead accounts get gifted subs and after a month they obviously don't resub and the sub count drops back to more accurate numbers.

Watching Phil get miffed at CTR was priceless. I can't help but wonder why he doesn't put the same effort he puts into complaining about shit into his slowly failing job.

bitching is easy, putting an ounce of effort into making your life less shit is impossible

Understandable, have a nice day.

Man it is nice to have classic salty Phil back. Can't even remember the last game that brought this out of him. With handholding and guide reading many games that would have delivered were a bust. It's nice to just laugh at him for being bad at a game. Reminds you why he caught your attention before he sank to the greasy conman level he is at currently.

It's fascinating to me given the places Phil came from. The more competitive a game is (racing, fighting, sports, etc.), the more he obviously hates it. It's the more narrative- or gameplay-driven games he's able to better tolerate. The more rigid a game is with its ruleset the more he hates it, or, to put it more simply, the easier it is to cheese a game, the better it appears to be in his eyes.

It's just bizarre because Phil came out of the FGC, an environment that's competitive by its nature. I know the validity of his most famous accomplishments in it have always been under fire, and from an outsider's perspective most of the gripes seem legitimate, but it still seems like at some point he had a passion for games with a pure focus on honing skill and now those are the games that upset him the most. Was it just his level of dominance, short-lived as it was, in a handful of titles that kept him interested? Was it the temporary allure of prestige? What kept him around, and what made him leave?
