Would the non-whales actually start tipping because for once the money might (Assuming it isn't a scam, a big assumption to be sure) be going to a good cause ? Would Phil still do his begging segments considering it doesn't benefit him ?

So many questions that will never be answered because Phil will never, ever give up money that is rightfully his by virtue of having played video games poorly for it.

He would NEVER do that. Never!

So Phil is just straight up acknowledging exactly what we've been talking about him doing, using Twitch checks for bills and tips for gacha (didn't say that last part, but he may as well have), and then segueing right into making it abundantly clear that he has absolutely no intention of trying to get superchats up to where Twitch once was.

This is important, because what Phil used to do was downplay how much Twitch gave him, so he could justify "needing" so much in tips, which did lower the amount, but it was still quite high thanks to how Twitch works. Now that he's on YT, Phil is not adjusting at all. He's doing the same thing, downplaying what he gets in the form of stable monthly income, which reduces the amount a bit, except here that's a lot more impactful. If he could be successful in converting all superchats into tips, maybe his plan would work, but it doesn't look like the paypigs want to go along with that at all.

Phil's addiction is really killing him financially, because now, on top of spending like crazy, his attitude is fucking him out of income. More than he ever, he NEEDS to start being accepting of the varierty of ways in which the retards prefer to give him money, he NEEDS to accept all of it, encourage ALL of it. But he's not going to, because he's a spoiled shit head with a powerful monkey on his back. There's no such thing as him going with the flow for the sake of maximizing his income.

I don't think the six figures he's used to is going to last until the end of the year. The more he discourages superchats, the less money he continues to make, and the more of it gets turned into tips, the faster he burns through it.

DSP dodging Guilty Gear Strive because the baby easy fighting game engine is too "complex" for him to learn, so he's going to stay nestled in the safety that is Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

Also, he doesn't have the time or patience to learn the game, but has enough time to play Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 3, and Nier Replicant. Maybe you could shave some time off your masturbation sessions and WWE mobile game addiction and hit up training mode.

I'm going to do my best @Surly Muppet impression.

A telling moment from last nights SF2 stream that I haven't seen posted yet:
Timestamp 1:52:08

"[explaining that he doesn't get superchat money until next month] it helps, long term it helps. This is how it also worked on Twitch and what I had was I had immediate income from tips and residual income coming in every month from superchats [he means bits] and subs and that allowed me to pay giant bills like my mortgage and stuff I always would use the Twitch money to pay for ... umm ... while day to day stuff would usually be tips."

So once again he calls the ~$5kish/month money from Twitch 'residual'. Does Dark not know what this word means?
View attachment 2257480
How was about half his monthly income 'residual'? So now he is back to minimizing the impact of Twitch (and now) YT payments to funnel money into tips. But just over a month ago when his partnership was terminated he was in full panic mode because the Twitch payment was worth "thousands" of dollars per month. He also confirms the prevailing theory that his stable monthly payments go towards his actual bills and his tips go to daily """bills."""

Part 2:
Timestamp 1:54:14

"[explaining how bits work for the 9 millionth time] if you're gonna ask me about YT, I don't even know. Like... since I've only been doing this a month on YT I don't even know how much YT takes out of stuff."

Uhhhh... Isn't it your fucking job to know that?

Part 3:
Timestamp 1:56:03

"[explaining AGAIN that you have to pay more for bits than they are worth] I don't know, I'm not really tracking all this stuff I'm just not. I'm not gonna track all this financially and see everyday what I'm making it's ridiculous. Huhuh."

A pretty stunning admission there. He is not even attempting to track his superchats despite it being incredibly easy to do so.
View attachment 2257502
So if he has no idea what his YT paycheck is, how is he determining what the stream tips goal should be? How does he know he's not gonna be able to pay his bills if the stream is slow? The YT check comes next week ffs! The answer: He just begs as hard as he thinks he can get away with. There's no rhyme or reason to it. He has no grasp of his finances beyond what is right in front of his face. Streams are slow because the completely arbitrary goal hasn't been hit. The vest streak and now the departnering have completely mind fucked this man. Outside of major whale sightings, streams in 2018-2019 routinely ended with <$100 in tips but now those numbers would be completely unacceptable despite all evidence suggesting that his expenses should be lower. When everything is expressed in fractions of the tips goal, what was once a respectable tips total is now "not even half way there."

Bonus meme from the chat during all this:

a while ago, I wanna say a few months, someone asked him about what he does to give back to his community, and he quoted the time he gave away a ps4 he bought, and i'm sure it was when it launched, in 2013

edit: April 2014

Didn't realize he gave away a console. I remember him signing business cards and sending game cases. Person of Walmart mentioned the game cases and I can't think of anything else Dave has done for his fans.

Even more classy, he did not keep the games. He traded them in.

Somehow this info and his behavior still manages to surprise me even after several years of knowing lots of phil lore and all that.

What an absolute cunt. It's not like him trading those games in did anything to save him financially. Not giving the fans the games so you can sell them.

If you're doing stuff like that to earn extra cash then you aren't living life right imo.

the point I was trying to make was how he thought a giveaway from 2014 debunks that he never does anything for his community

"I cleaned my nuts 6 yrs ago, what do you mean I never clean my nuts, stop derailing my life with your conspiracy theories"

tzgnilki we are cool and understood you. He pulls that crap a lot with everything. I'm not racist...I haven't said a slur in 2 years because I matured lol. I will say I love when he's confronted with something and denies until proof. The 11 yr old girl incident he still said never happened is a good example. This guy needs to feel good about himself so debunking and blaming others for his miserable life is all he can do.

Doesn't want to run a charity stream unless he has a personal stake in something. Never has a personal stake in anything because he's a hermit with no friends and only cares about himself. man_tapping_forehead.jpg

There are dozens of accessibility-related charities (though not necessarily game-focused but that shouldn’t matter because people with physical disabilities have difficulties outside of beep-boops) which he could raise money for if he actually gave a shit about such things outside of getting dopamine hits on Twitter.

Phil doesn’t have any spare money to put where his mouth is. It’s all already spoken for.

Wow, looks like this fighting game is just as complex as ever. Good thing I don't have the manhours needed to fully understand it.

>PICKS UP FUCKING VIRTUA FIGHTER
Click to expand...
Yeah but Virtua Beggar is free meaning that it's gonna be full of scrubs who can't handle one string so he can dunk on them and feel like a Shun Di master that makes Fuudo look like a scrub.

Speaking of, he's playing Virtua Beggar today. He said he's gonna continue playing Shun. As such, I don't need to update my streamsniping guide much. He only ever does one move, 1PK. It's a special low elbow into a low sweep, meaning you can block the first hit both low and high and the second only low. Just know to react when you block his elbow or just block low to begin with. It's also a high crushing move so make sure to use highs sparingly, use a quick mid like the generic elbow instead because Shun's 1PK's kinda slow so it'll get stuffed. When you guard the sweep it's launch punishable. When he goes into a stance just run up and do the generic crouching low kick (1K) or use footsies to bait him to whiff (important to note, forward dashes in VF can be guard cancelled while backdashes cannot). Finally the only throw he seems to do is the neutral throw, so do a Lazy Throw Escape against neutral throws.
