Has there been a recent Kat sighting that my autistic ass has somehow missed?

Maybe referring to the pictures of Kat at the wedding? After that I don't think anyone's seen her unless someone started stalking the Fred Meyer where she works.

 

[actually]

Holy shit he's definitely increasing the tips goal right? Wonder if it has anything to do with this?

Nah, must be a coincidence.

Can someone remind me when he dropped the tip goal to $100?

Nah I think he's referencing the wedding IG post, it does look like she has put weight, at least if you compare the photo to earlier sightings.

June 21st

Was dropped to $100 per stream on Monday, 06/21 (beginning of Jun W4)

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

Because of the heat, $100 will be the cowboy hat and $200 for the vest.

Is that why he was broke back steaming the other day?

Definitely $200 for the vest, because he thinks that people actually like that goal. Hat at $100 is possible, but he bitches too much about not being able to wear headphones with the hat. Probably going to be something somehow dumber than either the glasses or vest, but I can't imagine what.

He should turn his fucking camera off at $200, it's a win-win for everyone involved.

Or just end the fucking stream and pull a Communismkills. “For $8000 a month I will stop.”

 

[PieceofShet]

He complained soo much about the gay cowboy hat, he refused to wear it multiple times so... He will probably introduce it, for money.

 

[FamicomGorby]

$50 to turn the camera on.

Also just checked on Chris Chan and saw that he's coming to Seattle.

Possible DSP and Chris cross over?

I wonder if increasing the tips goal is an effort at pig psychology.

When the tips goal is $100 and he's at $30 he's still 30% of the way there.

When the tips goal is $200 and he's at $30, he's 15% of the way there and he can use this to be for more and push his faux-poverty state.

He won't hit the $200 goal very much, but he can use it to push the "I'm poor and struggling feed my kat" narrative.

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

So any updates on ol' Frank Hassle or did that peter out and die on the vine.

 

[Vic Viper T301]

Yep, vest goal going to get bumped up to $200, reason will be massive unprecedented heat wave, also trying to get a bit of those 1st of the month checks.

No update that I saw but Frank's still talkin about Dave on his Twitter so maybe something's bein cooked up.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

I'm personally more interested in how long it'll take him until he scams his audience by not delivering on his new tips goal tier rather than what he's gonna do or which article of clothing he's gonna put on for his new tips goal tier. Remember that during the chair spin and skittles sagas he somehow found a way to scam his audience by refusing to spin the chair/eat the skittles, or he did less spins/ate less skittles than what he was supposed to.

This would actually make sense from his perspective. Tips almost always die off when he hits $100, so set it to double that and get more money with a lower chance of wearing the vest. Given that it's Read The Farms Day for Phil, I hope he takes my advice on board.

It's worse than that. Most people who stream would have their headphones plugged into their streaming computer and they can hear the game audio being echoed back to them via OBS or whatever. So even if Sony were designing for streamers they wouldn't "implement dual ahdeo" because the number of people who would do that is basically one - Phil. Maybe if he literally ever invested money in his big boy business professional gamer setup he would know that, but instead he will keep using his AverMedia Shitbox 5000 until it dies and he goes offline for a month while he begs for the money to buy a new one (and then keeps blowing it on Champions). As with all other things, the "dual audio" thing is a microcosm of Phil's laziness, narcissism, and need to externalize blame.

Is this really how it works? For anything other than FPS I guess sure, but how are you going to perform well with audial information lagging behind at best 5 seconds? By then you’re likely dead when you need to be listening for footsteps of approaching enemies, etc.
I’d imagine you’d have to be playing on mute as well so as not to double-up on audio out to the viewers.
