Haven't heard anything about the BadBunny camgirl lately, did she grow tired of Philly?

That part about half his face being of fire that he tried to retcon into that accident story more recently was the biggest load of shit he’s ever said without a doubt. Imagining thinking there wouldn’t be some sort of lasting mark of half your face caught fire

Phil allegedly did burn his face.

Listening to his tale, it would be fair to assume a reasonable person could infer that he meant his face caught fire.

If you dig deep enough, there is a video somewhere in which he says he got friction burns from the airbag.

Phil twisted the facts. "My face got a little scraped up from the airbag", became "I got burned over half my face and nearly died".

Unless his face were to look like this after all this time:

I'm not buying it.

A friction burn is a form of abrasion caused by the friction of skin rubbing against a surface. A friction burn may also be referred to as skinning, chafing, or a term named for the surface causing the burn such as rope burn, carpet burn or rug burn.

He rubbed his face too hard. His injury was on par with shaving without using shaving cream. There would be no scarring or other permanent damage.

He is manipulating the word "burn" to infer fire damage. He is intentionally omitting details to make it sound worse.

according to her Yelp, Panda is finally back sort of online with her boyfriend.

Original back injury lore: It just happened, nothing I could do.

First retcon: It happened when I played flag football.

Second retcon: It happened in my near fatal car accident where I also got half my faced burned.
Third retcon: It happened at work.

I have no idea why he keeps on changing the story. I tend to believe the original story because Phil hadn't lost his mind yet. It was probably one of those weird, inexplicable things where he bent over to tie his shoes and his back somehow fucked itself. Stuff like that does happen. Maybe he's too embarrassed by that so he changed it to the flag football explanation. Okay, whatever, plausible enough. It gets weird with the car accident because he's told the car accident story before and never mentioned his back injury (or his facial "burns"). At this point he's just conflating memories because he's become that lazy and his brain has turned to mush. Saying it happened at work is a subtle attempt at telling everyone that he can't get a job because of his back, that's really all I can think of.

I'm wondering when he's finally going to spill the beans on what exactly are these "behind the scenes" problems, since it's now really starting to affect his work in a direct way; not being able to buy games and not being able to sleep, which both lead to rearranging his strict schedule, attracting extra unwanted attention and to pretty much derailing his streams (more than usual). Next to that, I'm seeing more and more people looking for answers about this, both fans and ehm... other followers. Everyone knows it's about money, but he's being very secretive about it, which is quite the achievement for DSP.

If he's really as deep in the red as he's saying, you'd say that right about now would be a perfect time for DSP to do one of his emergency events/marathons where he tries to scrape together as much money as possible.

If his Twitch payment isn't enough to cover him being in the red, could that moment be just around the corner?

Nah, if history repeats itself he'll save it for thanksgiving/Christmas in order to maximize his charitable pay piggies. He did the same thing in 2017 when he revealed he had a girlfriend, and then last year he had his "$16,000" tax problem. He'll almost certainly reveal his current financial problem sometime at the end of the year, even though we all know what it is (trying to foreclose on the khando). He'll also probably have some kind of timeline/plan to beg extra hard, also the taxes begging will begin again since he discovered he doesn't actually have to make quarterly payments and can just wait to do it all at once.

It's all bullshit.

He's not having any more significant troubles than he's had in the past week/month/year. His life doesn't change at all. If he had his way it'd be a completely flat trajectory from where he is now until he dies. He's likely had to shift his spending habits more toward Kat or bills and that has him all ass-chapped about losing all that fun money so he's turned the dial up on the begging and now he's "stressed". I guarantee you it's because he's got his eye on something shiny and expensive and he can't afford it yet without dipping into the red and getting bitchy phone calls again. He's got just enough impulse control not to jeopardize anything but not nearly enough to keep himself from putting the pressure on his pigs so he can buy whatever it is he wants.

I don't think DSP has an actual back injury. Does a man with serious back problems dance like this? I mean I'll admit the dancing isn't very good but he seems to be moving around just fine.

I think DSP uses his "back problems" as an excuse to be lazy making other people drive him/lift things for him.

Maybe Khet finally wants a real honeymoon, so he is squeezing his paypigs dry.
(the whole "our CT trip was horrible" could be a line, his passive-aggressive soulmare feeds him on the daily)

I look like Iron Man because of my hair and goatee.

Sounds about right, Tony Stark is known for being fat, balding and having a shit tier patchy goatee.

Interesting theory. I myself believe that he has a delusion or perceived target of how much he thinks he's supposed to make. I think the money he was making during his golden age with project 7, and all his friends, before the adpocalypse, and compared to his current state, feels like he's about to fall off a cliff financially unless he can recover.

 

[Adamska]

I believe that Pig at one point did injure his back, given that it can happen and there's been at least some (shoddy) second-hand confirmation to that element. Plus while Pig likes to lie, he does usually base it on what is happening and twists it into massive whoppers; he tends to avoid making them up wholesale.

However, I imagine it was a minor fix by comparison to what he likes to pretend it is, given he can jerk and move just fine and he apparently didn't need painkillers. He probably did what all greasy slugs like him would do; milk the fuck out of it and essentially skirted the line just out of insurance or medical fraud range since there was an injury, he just is lying about how bad it was. Then after a while he just used it as a go-to for being a lazy fuck since Pig's ego both bloated and fragile; he can't just say because fuck you don't wanna, because that'd imply that he IS just a lazy manchild. So he just keeps using it as a crutch since it's more acceptable to say you can't for disability reasons than anything else.

Also note that Pig never tried applying for Disability because of that back.

He won't reveal any actual details until he is forced to by complete and total desperation. Even when he's been talking about being overdrawn, any questions about where his money is going is met with "FUCK YOU NOT YOUR BUSINESS". I would expect him to keep talking about vague "issues" for as long as possible...mostly because it works. He got ~$10k last month from that style of begging. Why wouldn't he try it again?

I swear he took it a step further and legit used the phrase “caught fire” within the last year, but I might be mid remembering, it’s hard to keep so much of his bullshit straight

Damn, beat me to it. Now, I'm not a big comic guy but I do remember reading about this arc. I wonder if Phil is aware of Stark's issues behind the scenes. Are his various personae his suits of armor he dons?

Yeah, actual serious burns scar your shit up right? and even with skin grafts they're still noticeable. I'm reading first degree burns are mostly superficial but anything past that will likely scar. I am of the mind that if he calls coughing choking then he'd likely call a scrape a burn as well.
