Honestly, he shouldn't sell his CT place. He would barely break even. He should sell his WA place and move back. Sure, it'd be more inconvenient and humbling but would leave him with a profit.

It would be more inconvenient and humbling, so it won't happen.

"I can't drive cross country" except driving cross country would be a great reason to do some genuinely interesting vlogs! Look up some interesting hotspots for a DSP Tries It (like The Heartattack Grill) and plot a course to hit those spots. Throw in The Mall of America and other iconic places that your European viewers will never get a chance to see. Hell, instead of doing Patreon's Choice for games, do it for sightseeing attractions!
 
Pretty interesting, so this is the full extent of that previous conversation that was posted.
I find it hilarious he says his folks are old + have bad backs, but he had no qualms about bringing them in last year to paint the house, do chores, etc.
It's the full extent of that part.
Phil also finally opened up regarding his thoughts on Angry Joe:

Damn @SirJamesDTech you're the DSP whisperer around here. I've never seen him so readily engage with a pseudo philosopher.
FTFY
 
I see he's bringing up "muh bad back" as to why he can't move or drive. Any Kiwis in wheelchairs wanna tell him to suck it up?

I was born with spina bifida. I always kind of get annoyed when people complain about back problems because often times, they expect a doctor to just prescribe very power narcotics to just block the pain. The human body does does work very well just on narcotics. For one thing, long term opiate use has very short term diminished returns. The addictive characteristics of narcotics make the pain symptoms much worse overtime.

The most important thing if you have back problems is to do a total approach. 1) keep your weight down. Based on your height, you want to be at low healthy weight. 2) maintain flexibility and strength. I used to weight lift when I was much younger. I can't do that anymore because my back has effectively declined at a very rapid rate. If I kept lifting weights, I could cripple myself. But at the same time, I need to continue work out with low impact exercise. So instead of running, I walk and swim exclusively. Instead of lifting weights, I do yoga. If I completely stopped working out, I would decline at a frightening rate.

The long term goal is to not make all the pain go away...its to make it manageable for your day to day life. The less medication you need to function on, the better for your long term health. But very often, and this is certainly not unique to Phil, people don't want to hear this.

I would be in a situation where I couldn't drive, couldn't work, and I would be on disability. I don't want to live like that. I want to remain active and I am not ready to just shutdown my life completely.

Like pretty much almost every aspect of Phil's life, he thinks he knows everything and everyone else is an idiot. I wouldn't be surprised he has back pain and problems. But if you took a professional athlete and put them on Phil's diet and lifestyle, in very sort order, they would have back problems as well. You can't sit on a couch for hours every day, facing a computer screen without having health problems.

But you will never get Phil to ever recognize that he needs to do something to make his health better, especially if it requires him to do any sort of work.

Yeah, for stuff like that I highly recommend Justin Scarred's Route 66 roadtrip blogs. Dude has some legit interesting stuff.
 
I am weirded out that my reply to James shows up before the post I was replying to, but I apologise for double posting regardless.

If that's the case DSP, then why is James still earning good views on videos that aren't AVGN? (just as an example, he did a review on Mummy 2017 and it got 281K views) Hell, he now uploads an AVGN review every 2 months and he's doing pretty good. DSP evidently watches other youtubers but sometimes seems to fail to comprehend their actual situation (barring AJ and NC)
I find his AVGN example in particular interesting as we know DSP likes him or liked him at some point (the Shit Pickle joke he made/stole from AVGN in P3)
 
Rapidly expanding chin(s) -- Check
Noticeably graying facial hair -- Check
Man tits noticeable and fat enough to be bulging out of his shirt -- Check
JUST hairline -- Check
Manchild shirt -- Check
Retarded expression -- Check

Yep, it's a Phil selfie alright.
 
He wants to improve his credit score, refinance the WA condo (calls it a house again for some reason), and consolidate his credit card debt. So he wants to improve his credit score, get out the consequences of his own poor behavior, then ruin his credit score again.

Also the third option is exactly the one you were suggesting and is the reasonable one. I find it interesting that, although as a last resort, he does see it as an option.
 
Those chat logs...don't sound like DSP at all. Not blurb blurb on mic dsp. Not haughty forum dsp. It's really weird. Like he pulled the curtain back for a sec.

Maybe just me.

The stuff about Joe is surprisingly spot on, especially if he doesn't actually watch any of his videos. The rest was worded a little more eloquently than Phil usually speaks, but it was filled with the usual Phil logic, like the complaints about muh back and dismissing the ideas of moving/getting a real job, while subtly hinting he'll need help to last through the next year or two to recover his credit etc.

The AVGN stuff seems a little off. I admit I haven't watched AVGN in a solid year or two, but last I heard he was still going strong and didn't hate the job. I also thought he had splintered off into other stuff, and unlike Joe it works because he still puts effort into it/does stuff that he cares about.

Phil is also seriously in denial about enjoying playing games. He's either raging about broken mechanics, or he's just being spoon fed instructions from the chat, which maybe he actually enjoys, but it seems like it's done more out of frustration because he doesn't want to actually attempt gameplay.

My favorite part of this is he is not doing these options now, but maybe he will in an unspecified number of years. Just a few more years Phil fans of monthly emergencies and guilt tripping. Think of how much his relationship with his viewing audience would improve if he was not putting the burden of his finances on them everyday. Fuck it though, he is just going to hold them upside down and shake the change out of their pockets until he feels like fixing his problems sometime, somehow.
