Tevin did a back in time stream last night and watched a video of Phil in 2011 going through his strategy guides. He discussed the FFVI guide and mentioned how rare it was.
This guy was pulling in how much at his peak?
But why would you want to save Phil instead of people who can actually budget? Phil could probably receive $1,000,000 at once and still be in debt the next month.Most of his "fans" don't tip him that much, they just watch him and tip occasionally. The people who donate often and big have issues, namely:
"The Savior Complex
The savior complex can be best defined as “A psychological construct which makes a person feel the need to save other people. This person has a strong tendency to seek people who desperately "need help" and to assist them, often sacrificing their own needs for these people.”
The underlying belief of these individuals is: “It is the noble thing to do." They believe they are somehow better than others because they help people all the time without getting anything back. While motives may or may not be pure, their actions are not helpful to all involved. The problem is that trying to "save" someone does not allow the other individual to take responsibility for his or her own actions and to develop internal motivation. Therefore, the positive (or negative) changes may only be temporary."
This is why these kinds of people usually tend to donate near the end of the goal times, to be the savior that rushes in and save the day.
Pokémon X/Y and Let’s Go playthroughs when? These would also be perfect games for Phil. IIRC, he never had a Pokémon faint in Omega Ruby after receiving the Mega Latios. You also have to wonder why he seems so averse to playing Kirby nowadays.
That’s a good question and honestly hard to tell what was truly going through his mind around the big move. It’s like once he got out there he just lost all desire to ever leave his house, it’s really quite sad to see a guy go from having a bunch of friends over to play fighting games before he moves to....this. I can’t imagine not having a single friend in the damn state I live in, the dude just has nobody besides a girl he guilt tripped into marrying and his parents.
I'm really, really hoping it'll be this one:
It's the proof that he has always been his worst enemy.
In the vlogs when he Phil & Leanna were searching apartments, Phil went on about how he could now go to conventions and such in Seattle that he never could before.
Because he never learned that it's okay to fail due to how hideously spoiled he was.
He once blamed a bottling company for overfilling his bottle of water when he accidentally spilled it. He will lose it and child tantrum all while trying to put the blame on everything else.
