The only thing that caught my attention and bothered me was Phil saying that RE4 doesn't need a remake, because the controls and graphics are "modern enough" which is just wrong. Alottapeepul including myself want the RE4 remake because the PC port is god awful, the controls were never the greatest, and the game is nearly as old as GTA:SA so it's not like the graphics aren't antiquated. Fuck off, Phil.
Exhibit 99,999 of why no one has any incentive to take Phil seriously. Motherfucker can't even be bothered to research the PC version to see if it sucks, and sure as hell isn't going to know off-hand from experience because everything he has ever said about being computer-handy was a lie so he could sound like he's cool.
And then when he gets reamed for spouting off ignorant bullshit, he gets pissed instead of endeavoring to do better. He's going to do the exact same thing one day when his six figure income is finally gone forever. He does not learn from consequences, he gets mad that there are any. You can see it when his racist past gets brought up, or The Incident, or the Hate Army, or his FGC rep.
Speaking of this phenomenon...
I've always seen the fact that Phil has no friends as the single saddest thing about Phil's life. The man is almost 40 and the only person he can talk to is his morbidly obese wife who probably hates him.
Phil doesn't lament a lack of friends, he's just trying to fend off the inevitable comments about how sad it is for him to be so alone because he knows that normal people look at him that way. There is no sadness in his voice there, and he's lying his ass off the whole time because we know exactly what he spends his off-camera time doing: wasting all the tips he just received on wrestling jpegs.
Any time Phil claims to be incredibly busy, ESPECIALLY when he asserts that it involves any amount of work, he's full of shit, and with as little emotion as there is in him when making that up, you know it's for the same reason he always claims to be busy: for appearances. Phil knows exactly how he looks, and it bothers him that he gets judged, not what he gets judged for.
I know he doesn't care about a lack of friends because, thanks to his documented history here, I know WHY he doesn't interact with people anymore. He never liked anybody to begin with, Rambo and Howard were money to him, Leanna was a stroke of his ego and a cleaner of his messes, and he never had anybody else in his life prior to becoming infamous anyway. The only difference between early-2000s Phil and early 2020s Phil is that the former was willing to entertain being around people despite not caring about any of them, and the latter is just simply done with the charade. Probably because of the consequences of his behavior.
Phil prefers the solitude, he just doesn't want to admit that in front of everyone because he knows even his pigs will disagree with him and make negative comments.
