Talking about how "the power is in your hands" with regards to viewers choice, but hasn't he on multiple occasions rejected the viewers actual choice in favour of another game on the list?

Talking about how he doesn't wanna hear people's excuses for not voting like "I don't have time to vote" because Phil is way busier behind the scenes dood. All he has to do is list the games nominated and keep a count of them, it's just basic arithmetic isn't it? or am I missing something?

Edit: I'm an idiot who fails at grammar
 
Reminder that Phil will not waddle outside to vote in a presidential election but is currently lecturing his audience in his stream to his viewers about nominations and voting for viewers choice event.
He didn't vote so his chat should spam "You can't complain because you ddin't vote" every time he bitches about politics.
 
I don't recall if it was Nioh or not, but I think the highlight of him fighting a boss and getting stuck had to be the boss literally telling him to not kick his armor before he figured out you're supposed to kick his armor.
I had forgotten it, but that was Sekiro too. The boss practically calls him out with "Your sword can't pierce my armor, how can you not understand?" Then gives another hint by saying "I cannot fall," before finally explicitly "Trying to topple me off the edge?!"
Then while the boss is already falling, Phil mashes R1 so hard that he interrupts the boss's final voice line, replacing it with his own "BYE BYE! ACKACKACKACKACKACKACK."
He defies the rules of the game! I beat him, I staggered him, I did deathblow, he didn't die. So how is that fair? Apparuhly he doesn't deathblow. (snake laugh)
People are like "The game's not a puzzle," yes it is, the whole game's a puzzle. So I did exactly what you're supposed to do, per the rules of the game, to win. The game says "Oh, we changed the rules, that doesn't work." Oh, great. That's fun.
 
Holy shit, I haven't tuned in to his pre-streams in a while. This is lunacy. He is insane. During the first 27 minutes, he was talking to himself unprompted about random shit like: Daft Punk, Zelda, his schedule, the next viewer's choice, the next ask the king and his early impressions of Divinity (and why I took him so long to start it). Now he's reading his "I'm an independent streamer" script. The man just can't have enough of his own voice.

The chat told him that they don't have enough free time to nominate games. He hit back at them saying that he has even less free time than them but still sets the whole thing up in his forums.

EDIT: It takes him 13 minutes to finish reading his script.

Hour into the stream. Hasn't started the game. In the DOS2 directory for some reason (the reason is he doesn't give a shit about TOS)

Phil mentioned getting two overnight tips from someone. In one of the tip comments, the dude suggested a difficulty level for Divinity, prompting Phil to rant about how nobody has a right to tell him what difficulty level to play on, and people lost that ability because they shit on him. Very appreciative. Phil read the rest of the dude's advice and thanked him.

Because the tips were overnight they obviously don't count towards today's goals. Phil was also very, very careful to not say the value of these tips.

Mr. Transparent, everyone.
 
Phil called Bowser in Super Mario 64 a puzzle boss. I don't even know what he means by it at this stage.
I looked it up in the Oxford's Advanced Learner's Pigroach-English Dictionary.
Regular bahs = Same as a regular enemy, only bigger, does more damage and has more health
Pahzzl bahs = Any boss which requires Dave to bang 2 braincells together to beat it, even if it's as simple as a boss basically being a test for a certain game mechanic. For example let's say that a game introduces a parry mechanic and right after it is a boss that is clearly easy to parry. Also, any boss that has an unorthodox attack pattern.

This really needs to be in the DSPisms thread cos I've never seen a better summary of what makes a boss a puzzle boss in Phil's pickled brain.
 
Fell into Phil's pre-sermon and he was talking about the 'jahb' he does has meaning to the peepul who have been following him for years and tell him what a great jahb he does in making very great content. Not your usual schtreemer but someone who makes a real difference to the world.

Also we got a warning, in a few weeks time Phil is going to be begging for a big load of money to pay his tax guy to do his taxes. And if he was earning more he wouldn't need to beg money. But there is nothing he can do. Funny how he's shitting on other streamers as being shills when he doesn't. No Phil, you don't shill only beg and beg and beg. Even after getting the bankruptcy and the vest streak windfall, he still needs that money to survive.
 
He is an absolute bitter little bitch on prestream today. Nothing really new, but we're getting everything from the charity is private rants to shill rants... he is just popping off on everything.

Someone asked why he was so rude to the guy who tipped overnight and Phil said he was just honest, and the person cheering must be a special little snowflake. He then gave a mock apology to the 'snowflake'.

He really resents having to play this game.
 
I thought Sammy Samosa was a made up person. A sock puppet created by the Sons of Kojima.

As Phil's biggest fan and the SOK's biggest hater, wouldn't he have celebrated the fall of the SOK? Instead he disappeared, never to be heard from again.
Yeah I think it was probably Che though he denied it.

BTW I wonder how long Phil would say uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh if a power outage similar to Texas ever happened to him, and how long it would take for him to be in full panic mode because you know he's never done any prepping 🤭

I've been thinking about this while watching some of his Mega Man Zero gameplay. His first approach seems to always be the classic bum rush, thinking he can engage bosses in a damage race and win (and sometimes it works: if he plays on easy mode, chat tells him about exploits or he grinds). I think he's stuck in a fighting game mindset, where the other "player" should have to adjust to him - if he plays aggressively, they should have to play defensively because they're on even footing. That's what he thinks of as fair, and even the slightest bit of asymmetry becomes a "puzzle".

Unrelated, but are the pre-streams always this fucking long? I haven't kept up with this thread since the Leanna days and this is fucking miserable.
