It really is such a weird-ass flex. Like he's trying to discredit other people for...what? Not playing the game properly? Isn't that what he always whines about with the From Software fanboys? Does he think "streamer who takes a long-ass time to beat games" is a desirable quality that people are looking for? And if you are a new viewer tuning in to see someone who's not "rushing" it...and you quickly realize why Phil takes such a long fucking time to do anything, with his unintuitive shoutout system, incredibly long breaks, and Blue's Clues style commentary, and you fucking drop out.
Not to mention that his slow "playstyle" gets him in trouble with...himself. He throws a tantrum when a game takes longer to beat than he expects (Origami King), he hates it when he can't clock out exactly on time (Nemesis boss fight), he doesn't want to play games that don't have constant saving/checkpoints to accommodate him being a slug (Returnal). Of course, he always blames other people when something doesn't line up with his schedule, but fuck man. He really has to grasp at straws for something that makes him stand out, even if it's an outright flaw.
