And there's the snippet of truth Phil's so fond of. It's not really the views that bother him, it's that these old 80s/90s classics tend to be owned by big publishers (usually Japanese - Nintendo, Konami, Sega) who'll claim all his Youtube pennies. For fucks sake Dave, retro stuff from the 80s and 90s has never been MORE popular than it is now. An old guy who grew up in that era with a lick of charisma could be rolling in it by playing these old retro games. It's just he won't make any money on Youtube from them.

>talking normally before recording starts
>leans over while talking
>sighs and shakes head for a dramatic open to the vlog
>all of this is on camera

This is a lizard man pretending to be a human.

Edit: Shit, sorry for the double post doods :stress:

He maxed out his credit cards to pay a tax attorney to unfuck his back taxes. He's got 10k of cc debt now.
 
"I dindu nuthin wrong ohkay?"

I like how he's revising history again with Curse.
 
What I'm most curious about is what key information he's intentionally leaving out or distorting or completely lying about. Like does he really not have enough money to pay these alleged bills, or does he actually have the money but doesn't want to use it because he's that fucking greedy? Or is this whole thing total bullshit and he's just being his usual greedy self and wanting more shekels. Remember, you can't take anything a manipulative narcissist like Phil says without a mountain of salt.

I think he doesn't have cash/savings, but has other assets that he just refuses to sell. Also, he could sell his current place no problem. He's just a moron, basically.

We've got a stress ball in hand, ladies and gentlemen. ZERO dollars saved towards the upcoming tax payment. Currently listing his options. #1, take out yet another loan. #2, refinance the gout mansion...

Option #3 is to sell the house and everything in it. It's ridiculous to ask him to get a job. Dave's WHOLE DAY is in the Let's Play business. And he can't be doing two jobs at his age. Dave speculates that he needs sixteen thousand extra dollars between now and Tax Day 2019. (That's $16K on top of his usual income...)

The lack of money has put his relationship with Kat "on hold." Dangling the engagement/marriage carrot. Mama and Papa Darksyde are aging and Dave suspects they nobly won't tell him the full extent of their health decline. Worries he may only get to see them one more time, but has curiously refused their offer to pay for plane tickets.

He really did deliver with a new low. Bravo.
 
Also, let's say he sells his house. Whatever costs it would take to cover that would be minimal. He takes that amount, uses it to pay back his debt. If he only has to pay 16k, that's easy to pay with a bunch of money from the sale.

I spoke too soon. This is unprecedented emo. Voice breaking. He's actually pretending to tear up. Not just flirting with it like before. Blaming Tevin and waves of trolls on the way down. Sowing fears of repo men. You're gonna tear Kat, his soulmate, his "beautiful woman" away from him. "Were your jollies really worth it?"

The Hardcore Crying Season has begun.
 
Fun fact about this stream:

He never stated exactly what was going to change.

@SoapQueen1 , what would $16k (presumably all for the taxes) approximate Phil's expected taxable income at? That, to my recollection, falls roughly in the $100k taxable income range, no?
