He's NOT EXPECTING to hit the 100$ goal, the one at the top of his screen at all times. BEING HONEST, we don't HAVE TO reach that goal. He's be SHOCKED.

Summoning the power of Burns.
 
I don't suppose any of this shakeup includes:

- learning how to be an engaging streamer
- upgrading your equipment with the TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS you scammed out of people in the last six months
- giving Jasper the presence on stream that you promised when you revealed him, and without any of the hilarious fucking excuses you give (oh he doesn't sit in one place? just fucking keep the camera off screen until he shows up! give him catnip! shake his favorite bag of treats!)
- having a more flexible schedule not clearly based on shitting out playthroughs as mechanically as possible
- making your Patreon worthwhile
- adding a green screen
- earnestly finishing classics like Morrowind and STALKER like the King of Retro you claim to be
- finding more interesting things to talk about than food
- learning what to keep private and what to share as a public entertainer on the internet
- putting your schedule in a useful format instead of a fucking screenshot of Microsoft Word on your twitter you absolute Boomer
- having tips and cheers update on screen automatically instead of punching them in like a caveman
- installing windows 10 so you can actually use your stream deck for transitions and a soundboard
- reducing the length of your stupid-ass pre-stream so you can get more gameplay in
- investing yourself in the stories of the games you play instead of skipping dialogue and screaming "LA LA LA" to every in-game track, or
- not fucking begging and pleading like a subway crust punk for cash for the entirety of your stream from beginning to end.

My bet's on replacing vests with jerseys.

OH MY GOD HE DIDN'T EVEN SWITCH TO JERSEYS

IT'S STILL VESTS BUT WITH GUNNAR GLASSES AT 50 DOLLARS
 
Staying on the green screen matter doesnt it help to have an HD quality camera feed to get the best results and not some 360p Russian potato setup like he has?
He'd need to get some actual studio lighting in office for it since for a green screen to work it needs to be evenly lit.

Overall his whole setup would be better if he got some lights cause I think part of the issue is that his camera is switching to a higher ISO since regular house lighting is pretty dim for a camera.
 
In the US, you typically get an inspector as well, but I don't know that their report means much aside from letting the buyer know about issues. It probably will affect your ability to purchase homeowners' insurance, which is what most banks require to buy a home (unless you put down more than like 20%), but that's about it.
That inspection is often used for the negotiation process between seller and buyer. "Hey, there's a big fucking hole in the wall. Fix it, or give extra money during closing so I don't have to fork over as much to fix it..." And, depending on the loan (like, FHA), those inspections and appraisals can make or break the loan itself. The inspection usually doesn't mean much to the buyer, it's more for the lender to check a box on their "is this place worth the risk" list.

If you walk into a place with cash to burn and just buy the place outright, inspections are useless as good ideas are to Phil.
 
So that's the reward to his community. I'll clean my room.
Let's see how long that lasts. How's his chat reacting to it? This is just. I don't know. I've never really encountered this before in real life. I've never actually seen a cult in real life, and this stuff almost completely matches what my text books say a cult is. A 'charismatic' leader. A group of people held in thrall. Progressively alarming abuses of position and power. The leader becomes more and more xenophobic, paranoid and reclusive. Starts to encourage the followers to spy on each other for elevated status vis a vis the leader. As a person that worked with the disabled and the handicapped, this hurts to watch sometimes, because one of the rules in therapy (and in life in general, really) is you cannot save a person that does not want to be saved.
 
Literally the first time in this house that he's every put any money back into the stream, only not really cause he just pulled another chair his hoarder ass had in storage.
