I don't think it all goes to mobile gaming, but I think a solid chunk of it does. Other than that, I think he still makes stupid impulse buys, ordering in for the majority of dinners, and probably getting the occasional gift to throw into Kat's stable. There's also games, whatever premium services he has like his business class internet line and then the actual bills that he does have to pay. Easy to forget about those with how often he lies about them. But basically, I think a lot of smaller purchases that end up adding up pretty quickly, placed on top of the black hole that is his mobile gaming.

As for there being multiple games...eh, possibly. There's not exactly a shortage of mobile addictions to choose from. I personally don't think he does because Phil isn't exactly good at hiding things, both with how much he tends to mention things and his inability to use different usernames. Not to mention his general laziness. I think Champions is enough for him as well, since wrestling is one of the few things he enjoys. But I wouldn't exactly be shocked if someone stumbles on another TheyCallMeDSP account on some other game, and I'd wager he probably spends just as much on that as he does on Champions. In regards to the other games Phil used to play, I was always under the impression he jumped ship and didn't play them all at the same time, but it could be because I just naturally assume Phil is too lazy to invest in two games.

Hi thanks for your reply. You're right, I forgot that he probably orders takeout at least once a day and that shit can get really expensive. From that video, he said that he was pretty much always playing multiple dacha games at the same time. This could totally have changed but I just had no idea that he played so many mobile games. He even uses language like "quit cold turkey" which are obviously associated with addicts. Seems pretty likely that he's playing more than one mobile game given his history of doing so for a long time. I was just wondering if anyone has looked into this?

I've asked this question before but people didn't seem to have an answer. Does anyone know how Superhound can strike down Phil's channel and accounts over and over again while nobody else can and not having anyone or Twitter/Google retaliate against him? Or how he can get a checkmark when all he literally does is this stuff?

All I can figure is people talk big but there are much fewer detractors than we think who actually do ops. Hence there was no detractors constantly trying to take phil down. There were no hundreds or even dozens of people emailing Nancy etc. whereas Superhound is a rare person who actually does this enough to have learned a few ins and outs. Or maybe he has blackmail photos of Dorsey et al?

have you seen what most detractors act like online? i'm willing to bet that most of the people who actually would try and pull ops are too stupid to figure out how to even report a DMCA to attempt it.
 
Are you guys ready for some chill streams?

I don't understand what he means by the combat statement. If it's RPG style, wouldn't that make it grindy and repetitive? Any Yakuza players here know what he's tryin to say?

Normally when a boomer streamer says that they read a review, I would think it's to look trendy and with the times. I'm a gamer, this interests me as much as you guys!

In pig's case, odd enough, it's very clearly his own opinion on the matter. His pathological need to lie about the most inconsequential shit is in full display here. Anyone who knows him already knows what's up. Phil loves grindy, braindead jrpgs. Yakuza 7 is a good game, sure. But the combat has been absolutely lobotomized, and now it's made for the Phils of the world. Spam best move, chug magic pots, win. Phil is happy about this, and probably wants to pignotize the wheelchairs into Yakuza 7 = best ever, since it's guaranteed to be extremely low effort. Now, if it can also be highly pahsitive, it's a home run. Yakuza in general is a hard game to stream and a specially poor choice for a guy like him. 7 is quite literally impossible to fuck up, so his usual shameful display in Kamurocho will merely be a mediocre one.

Mind you, yakuza was never challenging if you just defaulted to chugging heals. That was very much Darksy's playstyle, a robust combo when used with "I always play on normal", but now the game kinda expects you to do that. So the shame in not being able to tiger drop, rush dodge and make the game look flashy and cool as hell is out the window and Piggsy can beg and sneer with nary a jeer.

To expect in the Yakuza 7 playthrough: Goat laughs every ten seconds, lots and lots of text reading, mancrush on Nanba until he's unable to keep him alive during battles, incredible awkwardness around Saeko, (She used to be a hooker AND is a possible love interest for Ichiban) skipping romance, singing along with the songs to kill dead air, inability to use Adachi and lack of interest in him as a result, full DPS party bolstered by healing item spam with frequent downs, plot rundowns with a pause and stare at the camera, shitty and inefficient battle strats none the less succesful due to massive overlevelling, and overall another boring affair to add to the slew of boring affairs that we've been graced with lately.

The game is still very well written and Ichiban is a really charming dude with a lot of heart. I just hope Phil doesn't have the balls to draw parallels with himself due to Ichi's underdog status.

Tl;dr: Pigman is invested in jrpg yakuza because less chances to embarass himself, and so should you, wheelchairs! Predictable as fuck failure of a playthrough with sub zero entertainment value coming ríght up. No romance (MARRIED TO A POTATO-HORSE, STUPID!) and very little fun to be had.

Edit: typos

Only when he wants to blame everyone else for his playthroughs being 30 hours longer than everyone else's. Fucking idiots made him go overtime so he could see Origami King's ending! (Stalls for an additional half-hour waiting for Vest kahntributions)

Um no you nudnik it wasn't stalling during the ending he was stalling to try the one button fishing game in the new village kahman.

Not really. Using only the tricks he's already demonstrated he could get Phil banned for life from Scopely, which would probably result in Phil literally crying onstream, and yet he hasn't. Conclusion: Superhound is either an idiot or actually working for Dave. The former being much more likely.

Tinfoil hat time, but Phil might be taunting him as a way to make up for the slow streams lately. Phil is dumb about pretty much everything, but I think he realizes how much money drama brings in. If I remember correctly, Phil grifted a few hundred bucks the last few times he was banned. I don't think Phil wants to outright get banned again because that's annoying for him, but just getting Superhound to tweet at him is a good way to rile up the paypigs and get some spite tips.

I admit I haven't really looked into it, but I assumed he was just taking advantage of the many flaws with automated systems. It seems like Phil gets unbanned the moment he actually speaks with a life person, which makes me think the claims are just serious enough to flag the auotmated system, but ultimately minor enough where someone can look at the claim and realize it was a mistake.

Most "serious" detractors think that the best way to take down Phil is to give him small amounts of money with a lame joke/insult attached, so I'm not surprised it hasn't happened before. It's probably not that hard to do, but it's ultimately pretty pointless because of how quickly it gets reversed. I think the only reason Phil gets so salty about it is he lives by his autistic schedule, and it means he has to go through the giant effort of sending an email to someone at Twitch.

Is this another way of doing another drama begging segment? This is so fuckin' ridiculous that he's announcing things like this. Just another way to rally in people to listen to him talk about something no one cares about.

Also what a fuckin' spoiled idiot wanting ps5 headphones. You fell for the 3D audio marketing scheme. Babies got to have a new toy.

Gets banned from Twitch, immediately contacts Twitch for a resolution.
Gets "scammed" by Microsoft, start calling them out on Twitter.
'Tractors getting banned? Don't contact anyone to help refute the DMCAs.
Okay

He is powerless to do anything about the DMCAs, YouTube and Twitter aren't going to do shit for Phil.
 
If anyone gets lost on the fighting game minutiae like I do I feel like you will understand almost everything after you watch this video. It explains a lot of basic fundamentals with easy to understand examples. Like, I now understand how "having just 4 frames of lag can screw up your frame trap", for instance.
