He's recently been using the phrase "schools of thought" when referring to if viewers are either disliking or liking his game. I really don't get why he uses stuff like that, it's not like his viewers are impressed, since they make fun of him when he uses phrasing like that.

Omg he really did say that, imagining him talking like this to Kat IRL is not enough to make me chuckle but it did made me exhale through my nose and smile for a second.

And all I can picture is a thought bubble over him with school buildings swimming around

Yet another example of Phil attempting to sound smarter than he is, but without actually going through the process of becoming smarter.

This is why I say that Phil wants to HAVE a certain rep, but not to earn it. If you suggest to him that he research what stuff means, he just tells you to fuck off. That's not someone who wants to be better, that's someone who wants to only ever be looked at as better, given an image they don't deserve.

To be fair, I’ve heard an honors student from *insert prodigious US high school here* pronounce it like that.

But they probably weren't valedictorians and made everyone in the audience cry and give a standing ovation and mob the stage afterwards in a moment of europhoria they got from hearing the speech to heap praise on them.

If you recall, he said his speech was something like, "High school isn't about learning anything. It's about making friends and partying. The friendships and fun is what high school is all about."

Friendships and fun? Phil?

Now I KNOW that story is bullshit. He doesn't understand a damn thing about either one, and doesn't care to either.

Also, picturing him even giving a speech in front of so many people is about as difficult for me as it is for him to make it through Dark Souls without looking at the chat literally thousands of times even when it's supposed to be a "redemption run".

Disagree with the latter point. Not that I 100% believe he gave a speech mind you, but he's definitely egotistical enough to manage public speaking. Didn't he host a panel at some event years ago? I'm sure there were at least 6 people in the seats.

I suppose you may be right. It depends on how much his need to, as some here have put it, "pontificate", over-rides his fear of and contempt for being around people. In fact, it may be one of the few motivations that would get him through such a thing, and would certainly explain why he hid in his room while Leanna had friends over. Because what are the odds he could have commanded all the attention there?
 
Public speaking creates a dynamic that is very different to being in a room among equals. People basically have to listen to you, you have the microphone, the podium or platform, DSP actually loves this kind of dynamic. Talking on mic to trolls is different too, they don't have to listen to you, they can speak over you with their mics.

DSP Historian uploaded the full panel, look at that confidence. He's not so much afraid of crowds, like most dictators he relishes speaking down to people but is terrified of being on an equal footing with them.

Excellent observation. I guess it didn't come to me because I'm so used to him cowering that I didn't anticipate ANY situation wherein he wouldn't be a pussy, but apparently there is one.

Not that he looks much braver, of course, because like you say, it's as close to a real life version of the way he runs his streams as he can get. Take his superior position away and he shows his true colors.

Pronounces mochi as MOE-KEY

I thought he was obsessive about pronouncing words as they are spelled. This is a case where it's pronounced exactly like it's spelled. Maybe because it's Asian, he needs to mangle the pronounciation.

Probably has "mocha" in his head. He definitely doesn't have "macho" in his head as a reference point.

In the recent rant he had about trading card collection, I thought it was interesting that he used the term "pulled" to refer to getting a certain random card you want from the pack you purchase. Is that how people talk about trading cards or is it his gacha-addiction spilling over into his everyday speech via Freudian slip?

Yeah, the gacha term was borrowed from TCGs as far as I know.

Just recently, he repeatedly pronounces the "s" in Illinois when talking about one of the Midwest fgc tournaments from the mid 2000s.

Jesus christ, of course he's one of those.

Go to the Land of Lincoln & do that, though. Pronounce the "s". Do it. Those nice salt-of-the-earth Midwesterners will go from zero to kick your teeth in.
