Leave it to Phil to actually believe in his own “unkillable” meme. Fucking idiot doesn’t realize that the joke is that you can’t kill someone whose career is already dead, not that we actually believe Phil is unkillable.

Someone said something very pertinent a few pages back (I forgot which user it was but that comment has really made its impact on me; credit goes to whoever said it) and I believe it warrants repeating: Phil can’t be cancelled because he already cancelled himself years ago.

Years of being deemed as the internet’s court jester; being the buttend of every content creator’s bottom of the barrel joke when they have nothing to talk about; being a persona non-grata within his own platform (DansGaming literally apologizing for donating subs to DSP... amazing); and essentially being known as the person you do not want to be if you do content creation, Phil has been a dead man walking for over half a decade now. His dwindling Twitch viewership proves that and as Phil just commented in this latest Twitter clout chasing feud, financials aren’t everything and it’s not a metric Phil should be judged on because he’s an anomaly in that aspect (I personally believe detractor circles like ours contribute to his financial success but that’s the topic for another post).

The “incident” is the pinnacle moment of the end of his career. When anyone who is aware of DSP has the following reaction: “Wait, aren’t you the dude who got caught jacking off on stream in front of children years ago...? And you’re still here?”, no further comment needs to be added.

This subforum’s summary of DSP is still relevant today in regards to Phil’s situation: “[...] notorious Lets’s Player who built an empire on failure and a permanently sinking ship.”

That’s why when DSP partakes in the occasional schadenfreude, you can literally taste the irony through your screen. And these are the moments when we get to witness and experience peak Phillsm, the most oblivious and least self-conscious person on the planet.

Never change Phil, never change.
 
Someone remind dipshit Phil that the unkillable meme is attributed to him being compared to a filthy roach. He seems to be under the impression it means he's a successful person, but successful people don't jerk off to pictures of sweaty wrestlers and gin tweet at all hours of the night while their loving horse-wife is getting dicked down by Tyrone in her separate bedroom.
 
We can call him "unkillable" but what it is, its just nobody has ANY expectation from him. People know he is a scumbag, toxic so whenever he has another scam, doxx someone or shouts at a fan we become ignorant cause he done it so many times. "Whatever, another negative thing he did".

I would not be proud of that.

But if he was known as a decent or liked person, he would have been cancelled years ago.

"I don't know the full story"
"He's getting cancelled while I am still here"

"It's not a comparison of financials"
*got mad they advertise merchandise on their Twitter*

"People can't stop fucking up"
*was literally trending on LivestreamFails for fucking up a few days ago*

Phil since you're reading this, you're here because no one who's in a position of power to cancel you, cares about you enough to actually do it. Literally every time this bozo makes the backpage news of the internet because of a fuck up the next thing asked is:

"Is this the guy that got caught masturbating on stream?"

Everyone laughs and pity's him. Then go about their day. You're here not because of how "great" you think your content is. You're here because you lie and get lucky. You're a shining example of what not to do. Nothing less, nothing more.

Phil calling himself a meme while not realizing what the meme is but assuming it's positive is hilarious.

He's so close to self aware.
 
Hi Phil, the reason you're "unkillable" is because you're already radioactive to all sponsors and partnerships, which has had a knock-on effect of making you completely irrelevant and below the radar. You lament your lack of online relevancy but that's the thing protecting you. You're trapped in a weird form of limbo between irrelevancy and living meme.

The only people who pay attention to you do so because they're mocking you. Yikes that must hurt.

You're so right here. Even raid shadow legends wouldn't touch him and they will literally partner with a potato.
 
So is Genshin Impact supposed to be a game about doing absolutely nothing? Because it seems like Phil has made absolutely no progress in the last 3 streams. He doesn't even have any goals nor any idea how to work towards them or how far away he is from the goal.

Don't follow Genshin Impact that much, but Phil 100% believes that the game is purely pay to win. So, if he's going on a quest and can't autowin with free to play, and this happens very often, I assume he just gives up and would rather do nothing; knowing the answer in his head is to "pay more" when it's very likely he just sucks at the game and that's also contributing to these streams being shit.

I missed the stream (tragic, I know), but with Genshin Impact the main thing to understand is that this was primarily designed as a Chinese mobile app game.

The gameplay loop centers around a resource called Original Resin, which ultimately is the resource that dictates how much you can accomplish in terms of resource gathering for getting stronger. Domains for weapon ascension materials and stat boosting artifacts, bosses for character ascension materials, ley lines for character exp books and mora (in-game money that at higher levels can require literally millions dumped into characters simply to level them up), it all requires Original Resin. The stock limit for this is 160 and this normally isn't a whole lot - Bosses cost 40 resin to get drops from (Except three 'weekly' superbosses you can only farm once a week each for 60 resin), domains and ley lines are 20 resin. It takes about 20 hours for Original Resin to fully recharge and while there are obviously ways to skip this wait period, even the most dedicated of whales can only refill five times a day.

It's a game designed to extend gameplay as much as possible - and there is a LOT of it, suffice to say - and the combat system demands that you divide resources between characters you focus on with your main teams to keep up with the climbing power levels. Phil might be having an easy time now and I'm assuming the 'new region' he's talking about is Liyue (the game's version of China, much how the starting area Monstadt is Germany) so he actually hasn't hit the power wall yet.

The magic number to look for is Adventure Rank 35 (AR35), because that's around the time when the game takes off the training wheels and you actually have to understand how to build teams, keep talents leveled, start making use of food and potion buffs, and more than anything exploit the crap out of elemental reaction combos to boost damage numbers. This is when you hit a Catch-22 situation where in order to get stronger, you have to defeat bosses, except the bosses are stronger too so to beat them you have to be stronger. This is the point where I think Phil is going to get fed up, either from sheer power creep or in the final Liyue fight against Childe which is a three phase boss fight that includes an instant-kill attack that's telegraphed out the wazoo but requires knowledge of the elemental reaction system to get around.
 
Catching up but i know he’s talked shit on Game Grumps before saying they’ve made fun of him and such, but I’ve always wondered. Have they ever? The two best friends guys for sure but I’ve never seen a clip or GG referencing him
The Game Grunps have committed the ultimate sin of being more popular/wealthy/successful than him.
