He did. Whatever time last year he said he spent $10K on credit cards to pay the state taxes and his tax guy, and that's one reason his credit is fucked up right now.
we're fooling ourselves if we thought there was a second we thought he'd actually tell the truth
This is my favorite part of this whole shitshow. This motherfucker was bitching about Howard and his friends (who apparently were okay with accepting "exposure" for their work instead of real currency) wanting to get their money back for the Project 7 shirts; he said that they both took a loss of roughly $400. It would have been "ludicrous" for him to give Howard that $400 back -- during a time when he was hot shit on YouTube and making a in his own words, a disgusting amount of money (and wasting it on stupid shit like collectors edition statues and $500 portal guns).
i'd love for phil to see a shrink and livestream it because i want to know what goes on in his head that allows him to make these statements without the hint of irony or "maybe thats not correct i should really pull up some evidence"
That's what I'm trying to figure out. Was tired half-zoned out on top of his incoherent ramblings of a lunatic, I couldn't really keep up.
So was this whole stream just an open video letter to Ian Miles Cheong?
He says it was around the State of Decay 2 early access shill tweet, but the only time Phil took off around then was the week Kat moved in, around Valentine's day.
That moment when he leaned back to remember what the date was, was so phony. I feel like he intentionally loosens up his bullshit at times to enrage people more. I don't know what game he is playing.
He did the same thing with the 11yo kid he threatened. She simply called him an idiot, yet his retcon was to paint her as a heinous little witch, and also justifying his response to her by blaming her parents for allowing her to use VRchat.
A large reason Phil can continue rolling the ball of bullshit and controlling the narrative is censorship. The censorship is loosened the more you pay him. He's in control of who gets hold of the mic. Not that it matters here anyway, because there's no one left in chat to ask the real questions, they have been permabanned, or Phil selectively chooses which ones to address. He makes examples of the most ridiculous accusations that have no basis, or were legitimately disproven, to make "detractors" look nuts.
The mods were going wild banning anyone mentioning anything negative, even innocent unprovocative questions. It would be interesting to know exactly how many people were banned during that stream. Phil glanced down at the stream chat a few times and portrayed a false atmosphere that the chat was mostly cordial, when people were flipping out calling him out for his bullshit. Those who didn't tune into the stream, but watch the video will not know. Phil is all about deception.
