I guess it's mostly because as far as being an entertaining streamer goes his wires are completely crossed. When he ought to be giving commentary (i.e., during actual gameplay) he has nothing to say. When he oughta shut his fucking piehole (like during cutscenes) he can't stop spewing dick-and-fart jokes and telling women to take their tops off.

imo, he does this for egotistical reasons and that's what bugs me about it

OH NO! THE GAME IS MAKING NOISE! BETTER MAKE NOISE TOO SO PEOPLE DONT IGNORE ME

he plays games online and someone talks, phil shits himself in fear because chat might talk about that other guy instead of him

he plays with his "friends" he interjects worthless ahuhuhu sounds because he's such a shut in he has nothing to talk about, but he can't stay quiet and be a nobody.

He also does it so he doesn't have to immerse himself in anything remotely emotional. Any time there's an emotionally powerful scene, and in particular any scene that's sad, he immediately starts saying something. That way, there's no chance he might actually get emotionally invested.

Also common in his horror game playthroughs. Any sort of way to defuse tension so he can look like a big boy that doesn't get scared when it does pop up.
 
Whenever he talks over the game to defuse tension or avoid emotional investment, it usually bites him in the ass at a later date when it turns out he completely missed some important plot point or game mechanic introduced in the cut scene or dialogue he ignored.

Man, reminds me. I almost never cry. But I cry at the end of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core. Every time.

He just ragequit the game. Wait, nope. He ragerebooted it.

I guess that's a thing now.

To clarify: he's facing his first challenging mission of the game (as far as I've seen), which makes him go hunting deer while being attacked by a zombie horde. He's angry that the mission isn't really about hunting, but it "baits" him into a facing zombie horde. The game sucks, it's the dumbest mission ever, he doesn't want to do it anymore and just skip it, calls the devs dumb fucks etc. etc., you know the deal.

At this point I'm actually looking forward to play games that he shits on. Makes me feel that if DSP is hating on it it must require some thought and attention...
 
Phil would be happiest if more games had Alone in the Dark (360) skip option.

I'd love to watch Phil rage skip to the credits of a game and call it dumb.

But really, its so amusing to me how he reacts to similar games such as this and AC. For seemingly no reason he loves/hates the opposite things in games.

If he sticks around long enough you'll get your wish. Game journos keep crying about games being too hard and that they want a "skip boss" button, so we're going to inevitably get a game where that feature is included.

World's first RageSkip

Wow, d00d!

Any lore behind the tips total being back?

He was outright asked in a cheer during prestream, so he added it. BONUS EDIT: He complains that Streamlabs doesn't give him an easy running total like Muxy used to do per stream, he already fucks up by missing at least one $1 tip - that 'Yan Kay Ess?' one asking about playing Atelier Lulua due out on May 21st in the US.

I was honestly expecting a >$200 daily tips goal considering how badly it appears April went (casual viewing for April after his return from CT showed lower income for the chill/downtime games... and MK11/Days Gone did not fix this, MK11 did surprisingly poorly except for stream attendance and perhaps YouTube views). It feels like the regulars slowed way down on participation after 'taxes are over' and the wedding antics.

[2019-05-01 18:08:33 UTC] realtalkmodme: dspcheer50 you should start putting the tips total back if u are in need of money again

When Phil can't get invested in emotions* and has the need to clown up like a big boy to show them who's boss (not those silly stupid videogames, pay attention to meeee) , then good for him. If some soulless fucks feel entertained by him who's missing the intend of the situation and ruins the whole experience, good for them. I guess you get a unique shot at any game by getting it dismantled by a heartless bastard who has no idea what he's talking about.

This is just one of his many flaws which work against his choice of "career", if you wanna call it that. He's incapable of understanding that others DO care and how interest, curiosity and an open mind are NOT flaws. Of course Phil would agree, but you get banned if you do. Wouldn't you think it hurts your business when you call everything others might enjoy a piece of shit, while you play those exact games these people enjoy, and everyone who has fun is a gullible idiot? His ego is massive.

* Of course Phil can be sad. When he loses money, his housemaid forgets to cook for him or when he has to do to even the easiest labor. The rest is basically vengeful hate.

Tbh I bought several games just b/c he played them, including Days Gone. Even this WWE2019 game (which I absolutely can't stomach, the badly explained controls make it harder than Sekiro).

He seems not to realize it, but he also presents games just by playing it. He is a living ad sign, free ads for the developers dood. So it would be in everyone's interest if he does not shit on every game? No, he doesn't make immediate profit when he's the nice/normal guy. Everyone who dislikes his work can suck his balls, ack ack ack. Detractors ruin my opportunities dood.

I guess my point is: Don't ruin your product when you depent on its permanence. This goes for the games, interaction with the whole spectrum of audience and your communication with the creators of your "raw" product.
