[10-July-2021] Pay Muh Bills Begathon - Yeah, less than one month after he would never have to talk about money ever again.

[Sparkletor 2.0]

just this last hurdle and Phil won't need money anymore

 

[hundredthousand]

Why doesn't he just do a private stream for those 5 same people who almost entirely support every stream.

We all know it's going to be the same few names as usual who will give him whatever amount he demands. The other 99% of people watching don't give him a dime because they aren't stupid or lonely enough to fall for this scam.

He never gets a few dollars from many different people, it's always just a couple people each dropping several hundred.

He could privately stream for his few friendless whales and end up with almost the same amount of money as usual.

The DSP Show Season 22? 23? Give the writers credit, when's the last time any of us tuned in this much for a marathon stream?

We always give him shit for comparing himself to Stern, but there is one thing they have in common (I think we all have at least one thing troublingly in common with DSP): when people were asked why they still listened to Stern despite these same people also claiming to hate his crudeness, the answer was almost always: "I want to hear what happens next." And here we are.

Because if he did that, there might have been people who would have tossed a few more bucks that wouldn't because the stream was now private. Phil won't leave pennies on the table most of the time.

That's basically stealing from him and how dare you threaten him and his family.

The autists who fund his stream arent the same autists who watch his stream.

Its dumb but true, its why the whale call system exists. Because either his whales arent around usually or are watching under alts then logging their real accounts to tip.

But it usually seems like there's little correlation to watching/being active vs tipping him.

From Monday's pre-stream:

"...in a close vote but a definitive difference... just play more Fallout: New Vegas in a marathon got a WHOPPING THIRTY-FIVE PERCENT..."

"...that's basically what the poll's saying you want. So, it seems like that's the mentality of most of the viewing audience..."
Gotta love the pigmath. 35% = Majority. Phil, 35% want you to play Fallout, but 65% DON'T WANT YOU TO PLAY FALLOUT. 65>35. Idiot.

"...there's no other way that I'm going to do an event that's going to get a consensus..."
Again, 35% is not a consensus.

"...over 200 or more people said 'we will come to a Fallout: New Vegas stream and support it to help you out this month'..."
Where did that come from? People just voted on the game. No one promised to pledge in your begathon. Holy shit, does he love putting words in people's mouths.

Uuh, wrahng! Complete and utterly wrahng! The poll said, vote for the game you'd attend and support. Now there's no going back, you can't just agree to the terms of service and then run away. That's hypACKrisy, okay?



Anyway, can't wait to neither attend to or support this trashfire. Unless donations get skipped from start to finish, there is no entertainment value to be found.

Haha, I didn't see that. That's so slimy.

Pretty sure most of the people who support him do it to "own da trollz" so a private stream wouldn't get their rocks off.

His credit card payments aren't gone. He probably has at least a half dozen cards by now.

DSP is the perfect credit card customer. He will make minimum payments forever AND he can't discharge any of it for at least six more years, all the time probably paying like 25%.

Credit card companies started throwing cards at DSP the moment the bankruptcy became official.

I have no doubt Dave learned nothing from his bankruptcy, but even with high interest credit cards I don't think he woulda been able to rack up enough debt to make the minimum payments anywhere near comparable to what they must have been before the bankruptcy.

 

[PutridElephant]

Unless a whale/a few whales step up, hell most likely not make whatever goal he sets. And this might be the best thing for him.

The money has enabled his bad behavior and not having enough for the first time in his life might make him finally right-size his expenses.

For a while its all about the whales.

Could you imagine dropping a hundred on him and then come back a few days later doing it again? Fuckin retards.

You think lack of money is going to stop him spending money? What do you think his walking bank, uh I mean parents, are there for? He'll just go running to mommy and asking for a few grand because he can't afford cat food or hay.

His ego couldn't handle it: He has to put out this image of being a super popular, super successful streamer and not just a creepy weirdo who would be gone if not for a half dozen or so people who are even more exceptional than he is. It's why he had his whales buy so many gifted subs on Twitch, it's why he got upset there was no equivalent function on youtube, and now it's why he's making them set up multiple sock accounts. None of this holds up to scrutiny but it lets him pretend things aren't that bad so long as he doesn't think too hard about it.

I'm gonna do a bit of a refresher on New Vegas for those that haven't played it, or don't remember. Regarding Phil's playthrough I've got just one really big question:

Is he doing Dead Money for the Begathon? It could be a veritable spring of salt. It's basically a Resident Evil game slapped onto Fallout. The writing is amazing, and the game design is admittedly very clever, but resulting in an experience that isn't for everyone. You can barely see at points. I played it on a laptop and had to chug Ghost Sights because the damn thing was just impossible to tell apart otherwise.

All the companions in that are super underpowered except for Dog, and even he can die if you let him sort everything out Boone style. Christine doesn't even come with a weapon, and Dean comes with a peashooter he's pretty bad at using. Both are pretty frail and unarmored. The fun part is, you're collared throughout, and if they die, your collar goes off, game overing your ass for relying on NPC support. Maybe this doesn't apply on NoHC. Honestly, I wouldn't know. Never played New Vegas without Hardcore on. Someone should bait him into turning Hardcore on for Dead Money, it was designed to be played on VH/HC. Life constantly ticking down, super tanky enemies who can halfshot your ass with no heads up, and underpowered companions are sure to make Phil's life a salty hell. Not to mention all the weapons are bottom tier, the holorifle is gimmicky as hell, albeit pretty good if used correctly, and melee/unarmed is where it's at... But unless you're built for it, you'll just struggle all day. It's a very true survival horror experience, and I'm in the camp that loves it.

Honestly if the begathon is just the usual "Walk around, let Boone take care of everything" like he's been doing, it's just absolute garbage once again. His vanilla NV playthrough has basically been a chill Minecraft stream, ridiculously little gameplay for such a cool game. The main draw of New Vegas is how the story is very well written and you can waffle for days on who you'd support or not. Of course Phil's just gonna go NCR and claim it's because democracy good, I guess, even though we know it's just to not piss Boone off and keep him on his side so he can sort out the battle of Hoover Dam.

As for the other DLCs, Honest Hearts is unlikely to stir the pigroach much, since it's very easy to just rely on Chalk for most of it, there will be some struggle when he gets the Sorrow companion, and then much rejoicing when Joshua Graham one-ups Boone in badassery. Plus Zion's full of clean water, so it's really hard to die even if you came with no healing items. Craftable heals are plentiful, powerful, and enemies aren't all that tough compared to even the base game. No particularly good energy weapons, but you can bring your own. Another slow lull as DSP takes his companions on a murdering tour while he twiddles his thumbs and begs for tips.

Lonesome Road is pretty hard. Lots of super tough enemies with super good weapons, that one pretty much requires you to have a viable build to stand a chance on Very Hard. Phil could, theoretically, use his high Luck to grab money at the casinos, and if he does the rest of DLCs, he'd have quite a bit. Caps are incredibly important for an explosives build, since ammo doesn't come cheap at all. He could very easily decimate the DLC with an Annabelle/Esther combo, but I doubt he'll want to get Annabelle and grind for Esther, and he definitely doesn't know how to use explosives without blowing himself up. Mercy, the unique grenade machinegun is probably out of the picture too since it requires you to clear a cave full of Deathclaws. Of course, his decision to pussy out on Hardcore makes explosives that much more viable: Ammo for explosives is very heavy. Chances are he won't do it, wagequit it, or just drop difficulty like a true coward.

Anyway, looking forward to The Guy trying to justify a chill "Let's watch Boone kill these lads while you pay me" begathon. Hopefully he'll have some balls and go into Dead Money for our amusement. That might legit be good entertainment. I'll see some of you intermittently at DDM's if he does. If it's base game, godspeed to those who can put up with it, because it will be a true endurance test.

Is he doing Dead Money for the Begathon?

It's presumably up in the air, but I get the feeling that he really wants to progress the story after Old World Blues. He'll spend all stream walking back in forth in Freeside doing sidequests and doing weird complaints about "Wow, there's so much content!" until his Indian food shows up. Boone is going to have a kill count of only 5 at that point.

 

[Agent Proper]

I will be hosting this awful event.

 

[gh0stzero]

So is Phil gonna order beef curry from the indian place and then talk about how its just like a geniune authentic curry you'd get in India?

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

Has he ever had a failure of an event like this where he gets pretty low support? I'd love to see that if it hasn't happened.

The use of the super positive, fun, and interactive exclamation point after New Vegas is definitely insinuating which game Phil wants to play. Fallout was enough for him to skip going on a trip with his daughter before.
