The PennePoints™ system came into effect midway through the (Oct 18th) SNES
APP stream. Oddly, Phil seemed to avoid addressing it for a significant time, despite most of the chat experimenting and asking Phil for help in how it works. Much later, Phil
finally provides a
toned-down explanation and repeats it occasionally throughout the day. It appears Phil was downplaying the Channel Points feature on purpose until he had a chance to give it a grand welcome the following morning during the "Official" launch, in order to promote greater excitement and have more control over how people react to it. Essentially, the Twitch Channel Points feature is fairly rudimentary with not much going for it. You can accumulate points quickly by following, and watching
the shit the content for a few hours. Which allow you to unlock a random sub-only emote, a selected emote, to post a highlighted message, or to modify an existing sub-only emote. It should also be pointed out that Dark Dave implemented the PennePoints™ system long before Phil got around to it, so lawsuit - when?
The DSP phrase of the week is: "People seem to like", alongside
"If you guys really want that." The new scum trick in the book is to put the blame on the viewers for wanting to engage in a bidding war to name some item in Phil's room, or a virtual in-game item. Phil highlights the perhaps one single message with this suggestion, and blows it up to make it appear the viewerbase at large requested this. "I think it's stupid, but I have to give people what they want." The same term was used to justify the vanity cam this week also. "You guys keep asking for it!"
Personally, I don't believe the reason for Phil's absence from the late stream on the
16th for
"personal reasons" was anything very
dramatic, nor was it a
dinner party. Meeting with family or friends seems plausible, but Phil hinted that it was something that came up that he had to deal with, and not an enjoyable personal night off with people they like.
"We did take care of it".
People have been hammering the point that Plants vs. Zombies is a game intended for kids to play.
But it was actually Phil who flat out refused this after a
cheer observing the game looks to be for
children aged 5-9. In the following session, he had his
ass handed to him during
puzzle and
combat sections, and suddenly began screaming about how the game is intended for
kids. Funny how he flipped his view on that,
huh?
It dawned on me this second session of
PUBG why he's so desperate to return to the game (besides the aforementioned statistical liklihood of new faces showing up to drop "ridiculous amounts of money" with little effort required), is because a
void has to be filled with the regularly scheduled Blackout psychotheraphy and ego-flexing sessions. Those were essential to keep his psyche and ego in check, and it's been a while since
Blockout ended. Exactly like Blackout, once Phil gets into the groove with the initial load-out and auto-run enabled, it's a comfortable position to rant at length about things that have been bothering him, to align things in his favor, with the constant excuse that it's only to supplement the thing at the forefront (gameplay) with commentary. In actuality, it's a glorified talk stream, with some gameplay attached. This further confirmed it in my eyes when I saw he inserted
"Chill Stream" into the YouTube video titles. I am still unsure as to why Phil gravitates towards and purposely subjects himself to games he hates in spite of these reasons however. Is he a masochist?
Two regular viewers (dragonquestfan and NOTtheguyyoujustbanned) were lean-in banned for
pointing out that Phil sucked at playing Mario Kart (even after using save states, and on the easiest race circuit). In a rage, Phil says for them to
not bother appealing the ban and to never come back. Much later on, he
angrily reiterates this indirectly.
HOWEVER, the following day, one of the two was unbanned live without drama. And the second returned to chat sometime later also. Phil sounded very sincere when he announced he was done with them, but allowed them to return very soon and
without issue. This is just another good example at how Phil breaks his own
rules, and you shouldn't believe what he has to
say even if he sounds sincere about it.
WILD CARD won the voting for the Halloween costume choice. The
Joker is a strong contender for the costume, but Phil made it clear that by choosing the exciting all-caps
WILD CARD option, it means he is
off the hook and doesn't have to provide any level of quality as with the other options. Phil had been shilling the poll several times daily for over a week, but only ~25 additional votes were cast in that time. There is some talk about the poll being rigged as 103 members have voted, but 142 votes were
cast. This is because it was a multiple-choice poll. Although Phil could still have tampered with the outcome. I wonder what the relationship Phil has with the webmaster and to what lengths they would be willing to provide member information (IP, email, DMs) and
modify polls.
