I'm shocked your source isn't SBM dot com

This was gold-tier.

Also, he says that the morning of the Worst Day Out Ever he quickly drove to the shop to get some things, but didn't need to buy much because they had everything they needed for their meals from the week prior.

I specifically remember him explaining to his viewers why tips help the most in that week prior, he definitely mentioned "grocery shopping" in that. I wonder how often he has enough supplies for meals but uses "grocery shopping" to beg for tips regardless. It's insane how dishonest he is.

 

[King of Hateful Slurs]

Little off topic but it absolutely blows my mind that he doesn't use Fightcade. I play Third Strike on there from time to time and the Super Turbo section has around 300-500 players every time I check. Infinitely more than the shit console version he plays where it's the same 5-10 people all night and nobody actually knows how to play. It's not like he can even get trolled because you have to accept requests from other people so if they have a "detractor" name just decline and find someone else to play.

 

[King of Not Playing Games]

The "hardcore gaming season" is something Phil treats as this big thing every year, but if you take a step back and look at what it is you realise there is nothing there.

Phil's usual strategy is just to rely on day one views. It used to work when he was one of the first to get videos out for a game, before the YouTube sphere got big. Once other YouTubers started getting games early he fell behind in the game of getting the eyes of those unsure on whether to buy a game or not. Nowadays streamers and YouTube creators regularly get early access to games, making Phil's day one views strategy useless. He knows this, it's why he throws a tantrum whenever he sees people get games early.

Which is why I say there's nothing there with the "hgs". It's just him using the same, useless plan with literally no changes. What, objectively, is different between the"hgs" and his modus operandi? Fuck all. He just gets day one views while everyone else has gotten day 0 views, meaning anyone who would watch videos on any of the games already have watched what they need and have no reason to go to him.

The only exception are his wheelchair brigade and they'd watch his shite anyway, meaning he gets nothing new out of it. It only ever had any meaning to him, meaning that died years ago and he still hasn't realised it.

I'm going to be totally ahnest, I never seriously thought the HGS was "real" in any significant sense. There may be more games released here or there throughout the year, but it never seemed to correlate with when Phil said it was or how it might affect his popularity/success, especially because of his weird autism about barreling through games, ignoring anything of value, just to say he finished it—to say nothing of how he designs his schedule to jump from game to game randomly in various states of completion. Nowadays he cares even less about video games, and I haven't seen him demonstrate any authentic excitement about any of the games that show up in the HGS.

I always just figured it was part of his grift, like "I just need extra support until the HGS and then everything will be fine again".

You answered your own confusion. He wants to play the scrubby people to satiate his ego. If he got on Fightcade, he would have fewer excuses (not that he wouldn't use the same ones), and he would face actual good competition. He would get rolled constantly.

He knows he'd get wiped the floor with if he did. He needs to keep his pro gamer ego so he sticks to the less played version so he can pretend to be good against nobodies.

Cause there are acutally good players on there and his ego can't take the hit of getting his ass beat in his supposed pro "Nr1 American" Street Fighter game.

The timing of it has remained largely the same (autumn) as it does see more big name releases than any other time. However it never really had an effect on Phil's viewership as he just never took advantage of what he saw as a big event.

Nowadays it is just part of the grift, but it meant something over a decade ago. Back when he gave one iota of a shit about gaming.

He just keeps it up now to look like he cares and play to some twisted sense of nostalgia in his fans, like "oh yeah, I 'member". But in reality there's no reason to have anything like that, as I said there wasn't anything special there to remember.

He really should drop it. He's the only person who pushes it and does nothing for his perceived event. Then again what could he even do, anything that would require him to work with anyone else will fail given his Chernobyl like reputation, too dangerous to go near. And his ability to set something up himself would fail harder that his birthday decorations.

 

[Freshtodeath]

I've never heard of anyone going out twice in one day for sit down food twice. He said they go out to bfast and sit down then go out to dinner to sit down.

 

[ProvenWrong]

Hopefully more hunky action tonight and Phil fantasizing over him.

 

[N0thingICanDo]

With 25k follower, his important schedule update got 2 retweet and 16 likes in 3 hours

With the SILENT MAJORITY continue to MIA

Phil has no choice but to leave the twitter comment back on just now

 

[GiveMeTheMoney]

Phil isn't the worst SF player, but his knowledge on the meta gameplay has eroded like a stone under niagra falls. He thinks the only meta or tournament style gameplay is footsy and only safe moves. That's completely false. He's just not an aggressive player anymore (if he ever was) so he gets curbstomped in pub lobbies by aggressive players. That's where most of the salt on fridays comes from.

POV: Somebody typed "Tevin blacked Kat" in your stream chat.

 

[Paladin Derich]

I look forward to the 2022 beg-a-thons for bills, and then afterward phil unveils a steamdeck sent in by a "viewer".

Uh.... NO!
WRONG! It's pattern bullshit, ahnline lag tactics that wouldn't work offline in the arcades. DEBUNKED

 

[LieLieFyre]

I look forward to Americas top stream. Who will become DSPs new whale 2022.

What else is there for a couple as boring as those two to do? They have no culture, no refinement, nothing. It's either "stay at home and play video games" or "go out to eat".

No other activity available for an obese uncultured couple like Piggy and Horsey. Money should be a barrier for them, but of course Phil wouldn't let a measly bankruptcy force him to stop being a spendthrift.

The first movie came out when he was like 18...

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

What a lying bitch. If that fucking moron had the sense to profit off the trolls he'd be Peter Fucking Thiel.

And that concludes the 15 minutes of DSP livestream I'll bother tuning into this week.
