I love that Jayde has just openly become Phil's go-to example of when a game has truly lost its audience.

"Even JAYDE lost interest! And he's a monogoloid in a wheelchair who really has to WORK to get away from the stream his minder left on the computer!"
 
I wonder if Phil will retcon his dropped input cope to saying it was from playing on a tv instead of a 1ms monitor, as a form of showing hes positive and meaningful. Or if he'll always keep that cope in his back pocket
The dropped input cope will persist forever. He uses a variant of it in CoD called "bad hit detection." It just means "something happened onscreen against my wishes". It is the ideal cope because it is meaningless and impossible to disprove. What input was dropped, exactly? By what? Your stick? Your computer's USB driver? The game? The server connection? He doesn't know, he doesn't care, and it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that Phil did nothing wrong and that he did everything correct.

I remember seeing Jayde's pictures on here for the first time a while back and at first getting upset because I don't like seeing people incapable of taking care of themselves being taken advantage of. But I also took some strange solace in the fact that THIS is basically what an actual fan of Phil is. One of my weirder moments.
 
using every excuse under the sun to buy the game on three (more?) platforms, together with dlc and enough peripherals to stock an arcade
Aside from creating new accounts which I don't you think you can because the game links to your PSN/Xbox handles what version is left for him to seal club in? The Switch 2? Da king playing an inferior port the devil you say....well wait a minute he just might for that dopamine hit if he can turn off crossplay like last time.
 
It makes Phil sad that stray cats in shelters weren't dropped off with a bunch of medical paper work... He really is just retarded, huh?


Edit:
Sometimes Jasper slips when jumping onto something and is embarrassed...

I can't tell if he is just retarded and forever 8 years old, or if this is some anthropomorphizing his cat son. Both, its both.
 
To be fair, I think there is a niche market for "watch a literal retard play games", but as part of that deal you'd expect them to have some humility, to try and play the game themselves before asking for help, and to not try to swindle the audience out of donos like they're a 1800s snake oil salesman. Phil is awful to watch because he's an awful person, and that's what sabotages his content more than anything else.
There absolutely is a market for that, and it's what we had with old recording his TV screen Phil. People watched that because it was funny to see someone fail so badly. Nobody wants to watch someone play a game the way DSP plays games now.

The only thing that separates watching a playthrough of somebody playing a game without commentary, likely at a high level with a guide, and watching a playthrough either live/on-demand of somebody playing themselves is that the latter is usually done with curiosity both on the player's side like you said (not knowing what happens) and on the viewers side (not knowing if the player will be able to solve something, wondering how they will solve something, or how long it will take). Phil somehow combines the 2 into a mess of something nobody would want. Not to mention that Phil, even being handheld by his chat or a guide, still sucks at the game.

I have no clue how Phil has missed this. If I'm playing a game for myself to get 100%, sure the guide is telling me what to do, cool. I would never want to watch a friend play a game with a guide. There's no fun in that.

Not to get psych side on this but you can really see Phil literally never had friends growing up, because no friend would want to watch him play like he does, nor would they want to have him bark at them to tell him what to do next. Not to mention you can't laugh when he fails because he'll throw a fit. Phil makes it so obvious that he's been a loser for decades, long before Youtube & the FGC.
100%. Good example of this with me is the game Everhood. I've played it, beaten it, loved it. When I found out one of my favorite streamers Jerma985 had played it I actively sought out the VOD because I wanted to see his reaction to stuff in the game. Then I did the same with Critikal even though I typically find him boring. I was there to see what they did and how they reacted to things in the game, not to watch them play the game agonizingly slowly while being told every little bit about the game by their chat. I legit can't understand how anyone would find his current style unironically entertaining.

Ah ah ah. Have you forgotten the Cannon Bros' rollback Netcode? As long as that's in a fighting game Philvwill always have an excuse. Also the supposed "pattern players" who do flowchart combos that Phil can't break because he can't recognise patterns.
 
The eternal cycle (the Ouroboros: a creature, a snake).

>Hit all goals week after week with dent bucks.
>Get smug and say he has a great audience that will pay him to play indie games, AAA games, or just fuck around on his setup.
>Miss a few goals.
>Start bitching about “engagement” and “support,” then start blaming the game for it.
>Do an end of stream stall, trying to squeeze out money while saying he’s disappointed.
>Do a daily wrap and padhcast, asking for feedback and saying he runs a business and can’t just do what he wants if people don’t pay him.
>The whales come back, and he starts hitting goals again.

God help me, I’m about to defend Phil: Cats actually do try to pretend a missed jump didn’t happen. After biting, they start a substitution activity like paw licking and then after a moment passes will straighten their body out or fix mussed fur. It’s probably an effort to avoid looking vulnerable to predators, but it does really look like they’re embarrassed for eating shit. It’s funny. Fuck Phil for the record.

See, you understand that they aren't actually embarrassed, Phil doesn't.
 
I'm really starting to BUY IN to the speculation that something is going on with his PayPal. He's been mentioning tips a lot ever since the updated PayPal link, in a way he hasn't done for quite a while.
 
He is on a roll of wild assertions lately. "I never liked Super Mario Sunshine. It was always the least polished Mario game."

These fucking takes based on nothing, that no one can even attempt to sympathize with, that he asserts as if there's a camp who has a similar attitude out there in the ether, absolutely kill my sides with how flippant and stupid they are. It would be the funniest thing in the world to me if there was someone to give him the mildest amount of push-back. If only he had one fucking friend, it would be enough.

I wish he had to articulate exactly what he found unpolished about Super Mario Sunshine. When I say a game is unpolished I can point to several qualities the game has, or judgements on my end, that led to that conclusion. But Phil can't and his use of saying it's unpolished is using a rhetorical tool as cargo cult shit. He pretends its a gamer's opinion, he presents it as a take that people could have, but it's not an insight that has any relatability to anyone. There is no actual logic behind his conclusion. He thinks if he just uses gamer-speak, that's should be enough to ward off the bad spirits.

I have no problem with the idea that maybe someone does have reasons to not like the game, but I don't think that's the case here, and Phil is just saying words.
 
New wrist rest, new desk mat. Literally can't stop spending money.
Don't forget he ordered a USB-C hub the other day as well.

Ever since he got the new desk and monitors I'm curious to see the mess of cables and cords he has in that room of his now. Was watching an ALT restream/recap one day and he pointed out there is a cable going outside of the room and into the hallway, exactly like PPP and Warski had in The Dented Zone, very presient.
