There's nothing wrong with paper plates, living humbly, having a small audience, or being alone. The problem is presentation. Be proud of what you like. Be discreet with what you don't. Be judged on your evil. Be praised for your good.
And this is why it's good for everyone distance themselves from the whole "detractor" thing. I get the sense of community, and it's great to use DSP's own bizarre phrasing against him but people just end up trying to make it into some autistic army. I like to think of myself as an observer. I watch, I laugh, I crack jokes. The few times I've directly interacted with DSP have been miserable and I'm not looking to try again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Also as has been stated a million times not only is DSP his own worst enemy but it's also way funnier when he fucks himself.
Everyone contributes to the Vortex, but the worst kind of person is the one who pretends to be above it all and somehow better because of x, y and z.
I just want to play video games and have fun.
That has been the success story for me! Not doing some silly stunts snort
To clarify I stated "I like to think of myself as an observer". This is a statement on my mindset not on some group I represent or what I'm called.
Here, here; I like doing DSP's accounting and coming pretty close on my estimates of federal tax owed, I may just be a lame math fag, but, it works for me.
All you have to do is not be DSP. Despite how difficult the game is (and there's been plenty of discussion of it in this thread during Monday) it's not difficult if you actually enjoy RPGs. If you like playing games, it has wonderful role-playing, fleshed out characters, a lot of fun tongue-in-cheek stuff, and allows you to solve problems in a ton of ways. What makes it hard is that the "classic" difficulty requires a lot of careful forethought and planning, having scarce resources while managing the inventory of four characters that all need a ton of gear, and actually having to understand the battlefield instead of having YOUR TEAM | THEIR TEAM on the screen during combat. If you're too busy thinking about your party, the AI will take advantage of terrain hazards in a way you won't anticipate. And so on.
Well good news he didn't put it on classic difficulty unless it was the default. He went out of his way to rant and insult someone who suggested he play on classic in fact.
I could have sworn he did. I'd check the VOD but effort. Even if he chose the next easiest difficulty, Explorer, he'll probably get his shit pushed in. The next easiest mode is Game Journalist, where you get a permanent resurrection scroll and turns all the NPCs into toothpicks.
Classic is the default difficulty, it's what the game puts you on default when you click on New Game. So yeah, he did start out on classic.
That's the "condo facility" video, isn't it? The way he words things makes him seem like a fucking alien. He barely knows any idioms, which is impressive when you consider the fact that he only speaks one language, and he has the vocabulary of a 12 year old. This stuff wouldn't be too bad if he was a labourer on a construction site or something, but he talks for a living.
My all time FAVORITE utterance of Phil's in regard to lag was "There's lag even when you can't see it" hahaha I play alot of battlegrounds in WoW so I know lag when I see it and a good 75% of the time the lag is coming from Phil's gin brain and not the game.
Ah, good! I must have missed when he actually picked difficulty and only saw his little rant. Honestly that makes his rant even better given it was him complaining about not wanting to play at "classic" difficulty before even realizing that's the default.
