You have to manually check via the dipstick, not that Phil actually would change it anyway.
What game do you wish Phil would play? - AKA best future TIHYDP material?

i'd like the tihydp to at least last longer than my shit time, we all know phil would start CE on legendary, get killed by a grunt and then close the game
"i knew it, anyone who suggested i do this in chat is a fucking troll and im banning them now, gotta pull up the lahgs"

Not one I wish he would play but surprised he didn't and that's Splatoon 1-2, he said before he played the first but not on camera but being a kinda-sorta big first party Nintendo game that's a surprise who knows maybe he'll hail mary the 2nd game seeing as the last of their live events will be going down at the end of the month.
He did play Splatoon and it was a hugely embarrassing mess. It's what finally 'forced' him to start using ethernet cables instead of playing on wi-fi, after professing it totally couldn't be his wi-fi's fault. You'd think it would've been SF or some other fighter that he was a former 'professional' player of that got him to finally stop playing on wi-fi but nope it was some dumb child's game.

Well damn that's a surprise I searched his channel and pigpiggo and it must have been memory holed, that aside I've played Splatoon 2 on the wi-fi and not a problem to be had so must be that double connection business class he has that's causing interference or he's so close to the Nintendo of America headquarters they're jamming his signal so he, being the realest G in streaming and can pick up any game and be good at it if he wants to, can't roll over all the what he calls basement dwelling scrubs who play all day in their parents house and don't make money playing games like he does *ack ack snort*.

Code Vein or The Surge 1&2, eventually he will cave in and one of these will show up at viewers choice years later.

And without an acknowledgement that he ducked them for years. "Totally came up with this on my own you guys..."

He played CodeVein (AKA weeb souls) demo a long time ago and i think the Outsyder did a TIHYDP on it. He was really bad at it, even with the AI companion which are really damn powerful in game and will always save you from certain death. If he played he would either let the AI do all the hevy lifting of get miserably curbstomped because it may be weeb souls, but that game doesn't fuck around when it comes to difficulty and when he reaches the Cathedral of the Holy Blood things would turn sour for him. Plus, making a build in this game is something that requires a lot of testing and experimentation, which is something Phil wouldn't do because the game is not your conventional action RPG.
As for The Surge 1 and 2... Those are a hit or miss. They are certianly enjoyable if you are a sucker for adventure RPGs, but they are subpar even if they have interesting mechanics. He would no doubt drop it because it's boring, doesn't garner much viewers or both, even if the game is quite easy per se (until your reach a boss, which are absolute beasts). Btw, these were made by the same guys that made Lord of the Fallen. There is a TIHYDP on that game too which is fairly good and ends up with Phil quitting the game after finding a series of hilarious bugs.
Lately i would really like him to play something like Rimworld or Kenshi and see how he deals with it. Specially Rimworld where threats scale to your progress.
Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age
There's only so much handholding his chat could help him out with during this it would produce some of the saltiest tears Phil has ever cried on stream, think like that persona game he rage quitted but like 2 - 4 hours into the game. Especially if he did the rank vii hunts and ever got to do Yiazmat.

Nah, i picture it will be like his Morrowind Chillstreams where he sits with the game on pause for 5-10 minutes waiting for the chat to tell him the best course of action whenever a problem arises. In Morrowing the handholding is legendary and it would be more apt to call those streams "Watch my fans play Morrowind".

i think i've said it before but i genuinely want to see phil try and play "baba is you"
it will reinforce he has zero knowledge of computers and (or sentence structure)
and i think you'd actually be able to see the gears grinding in his head

Most games people suggest will end up in eyeballing his chat because he has no intend of using his big mature intelligent brain or read any helpful pop-up (he can't read them because he looks at his chat).
Uuuuuh, I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.
*chuckle*
*silence*
EHEM.
I don't know dood.
Then he proceeds to press random buttons, searches for a crafting tool in his audio-settings, walks in circles or clicks on random objects until someone spells out exactly what he has to do and attaches money to it.
And at the end of the day, achieving nothing, he points out people hate this type of game, even so he totally loves them.
This is modern era Phil.
Put him in a corridor with a red line and give him a shooti-gun and he starts to play (not necessarily thinking in the process), or give him an auto-scroller so he has to rely on his "reactionary inputs".
The saga of Phil Burnell started with gameplay, he was the worst gamer of his era by playing so idiotic and mindless like the world has never seen.
Now he sucked out all the fun by being deliberately lazy and boring and mostly gets idiotic again in non-gameplay related situations.
You know how boring that is to reee? You know, back in my days Phil was all about NOT what he's doing today. Is it fine to feel like a boomer in this regard? Phil's modernized toxic behavior isn't why I'm here and it's not an entertaining upgrade to the lolcow I used to laugh at.
Srsly he turned so bad at his job he isn't even ironically funny anymore. How does this guy hold up any fanbase? How does he do it? How does he still persevere?

That is the main problem with Phil: he has the chat to save him from his own ignorance, lack of awareness and accidental button mashes. And if you call him out on it, he will tell you "All streamers do it, moron! I should do it too!" Yes, streamers get tips from time to time but they don't get full guides on how to properly do something or detailed builds like when he played Nioh 2 and a viewer gave him a word for word guide to properly use his guardian spirits.
And even with that, it wasn't good and he fucked it up.
I'm of the opinion that, unless there's some bigger conspiracy like Phil tipping himself, the only thing that keeps Phil's "career" afloat is the "us versus them" mentality he has instilled in his viewers' brains for years.
Not only is Phil boring to watch, as you've said, but he's also extremely disrespectful towards his fans. He wants people who give him money to either not say anything, or to shower him with flattery.
I've already said this before: Phil's business model is unsustainable. I know people like to joke about how he will never go away, he's the pigroach and yada yada, but seriously. It's impossible to keep going the way he is. The whole idea of crowdfunding is that there should be a constant influx of new people to give you money. If you don't try to have new fans and also mistreat the few fans you have, things just can't work out in the long run.
People change their lives. Maybe a whale will get their girlfriend pregnant and boom, he now can't contribute to Phil as much. Maybe a whale dies. Maybe a whale finds a better way to spend his money.
If I had to guess, in 10 years Phil will not be capable to stream full time. Not of his own volition, obviously, but because he can't get much money being toxic towards his viewers.

His current financial situation is unsustainable, yes, but I don't doubt that if he's alive in ten years, he'll still be streaming. It just won't be for as much money. Why do I think this? Because his average fan is actually quite old, which is probably the only reason that his "I've matured so much since I was younger" act doesn't drive them away. They know that he was too old to be acting the way he used to for that excuse to be valid in the slightest, it doesn't bother them because they're the same way. If he makes it to 50, they'll be that age or close enough, and his even more haggard appearance is unlikely to irk them. Not unless something seriously changes in their lives, which I'm not counting on because it should've happened already with a lot of them.

It's hard to predict what makes good TIHYDP material, since ~CURRENT YEAR~ Phil seems determined to be as boring as possible. But based on how he currently approaches vidya games, here are a few of my recommendations:
- Carrion: I mostly want this game to show up (even for a few minutes) during a Halloween marathon so I can play bingo. I expect him to complain that it's a Metroidvania with no map. Being that you play as a gore pile and snap the spines of your prey, there'd be endless mature and intelligent commentary like "Ewww!" "Gross!" "Eeeeugh!" "Nasty!" Possibly would whine that the graphics are "underwhelming" for a $20 game and thank an unnamed viewer for donating it.
- Risk of Rain 2: For those who don't know, ROR is a roguelike with time-based difficulty. There are three general difficulty settings, but in all of them enemies will gradually become stronger and spawn more often every few minutes. The point here is that Phil would be actively punished for farting around too much. Even though "Drizzle" mode makes things manageable for newer players, the game can still find ways to troll.
- King's Field: For the supposed "King of Retro" and avid hater of non-From Software Soulsbournes, he really ought to take a crack at From's roots.... and then proceed to cry because it has tank controls, crawling framerates, and classic 90's-era game design that barely tells you shit.
- Super Metroid: I remember being mildly amused when he tried to play this through SNES on Switch, and sometimes that's all you need for a good time. This game would be prime bait for his paypigs to walk him through every pixel needed to find powerups and hidden areas. Even then, I remember him not always understanding the plain text cheered at him. The raw game play would be shit, but it could be another interesting case (next to Minecraft & Oblivion) of the depths his whales will go to to "salvage" Phil's enjoyment of a game.

He'd be so fucking hosed in KF1 and KF2. He'd be baffled by how the excellector levels up.
