I watched a runthrough of Sister Location and it does seem much more like he's made an adventure game instead of Let's Player Spook-a-thon 5000.
Unless you go for the secret ending where it's just FNAF all over again.

Maybe down the road he'll finally make a FNAF that's got good gameplay.

The lady with the original accusations never presented any further proof of Tobuscus being an abuser and the exes etc that spoke out all said he's a lovely boyfriend/person but not an abuser, nothing conclusive came from either side.

Absolutely jack and poo poo. Most of Toby's exes came out and said "He can be a bit of a prick on occasion, but he wound't abuse anyone," and combined with the lack of any real evidence, the whole thing's fallen off the grid.

Since this is more or less the de facto Retsupurae thread I would like to say That I'm honestly surprised that Slowbeef hasn't watched Supergreatfriends old LP of the game from way back when.

Also Slowbeef, if you are reading this do you plan on doing D2 and Enemy Zero? Those game are both even more bonkers than the first D.

I was being facetious. Apparently DSP has had a serious decline in income for his channel because his viewership has dropped off. He also got SWATted by some weirdos and DSP put a lot of the blame/onus on Slowbeef/Retsupurae for his YouTube channel dying a slow painful death.

Slowbeef put out a video a few weeks ago addressing it etc. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKFD9oRs-_Q


Oh and amongst all of that stuff apparently he got caught jerking off on his stream or something somehow back in like May and there's video archives of it etc. It's really weird and really just the epitome of DSP at this point.

He's spent at least 3 hours over the past couple weeks, including an over ONE HOUR LONG vlog titled "Serious Update: I Need Help To Keep Going, So Let's Talk", describing how poorly his business is doing and essentially begging for Patreon donations, while insulting every other streamer or youtuber who accepts donations. He absolutely refuses to acknowledge that he is to blame for the massive drop in his viewership this year, and would rather poo poo talk and alienate his fans than do anything to better himself. And he seems to spend $4k+ on bills every month.

Earlier today, he did a Halloween "marathon", which was hyped as his $1025 goal for Patreon for the month, and it was 5 hours of actual gameplay and he wore a "costume" worth $30 because he couldn't afford anything better.

He's lost his mind.

He is that oblivious. I just finished watching that hour long vlog he made, and not only does he have no intention to change his methods(he wants his fanbase to come up with a way for him to be successful again that doesn't him having to actually work or put effort into anything), he shits on people who are actually successful at Let's Play/streaming because they edit their content, or interact with their stream audience.

All the while, giving pity stories to try and make himself look like some tragic hero who is down on his luck after spending years being a pioneer of Let's Play. He's spent the last week begging for more Patreon money, all the while making GBS threads on the fanbase who are annoyed with having to hear his begging non-stop.

At present, there are at least 4 threads on his forums with a hundred posts of valid criticism of his output and possible ways to turn things around. These are two of his most recent responses.

"Sooo....Still waiting for these great ideas for the $1 perk then. Already explained why I can't do the common things others do, and why I can't go back to Twitch. So if you want to actually suggest something feasible instead of the same things people have said about 300 times now, I'm all ears. But just stating the same things in a circle isn't going to miraculously get you what you want."

"Yeah, it'd be nice to actually see some constructive talk for a change. Because there sure hasn't been anything very useful posted up on the subject in a long while. "

DSP at his peak was very much a "guy you love to hate" type character. I don't find it surprising that he never actually understood what made him popular and can't figure out what he's doing differently now. Factor in his general immaturity along with his mounting financial troubles, and his reaction makes perfect sense to me.

I kinda want to see his budget. Not to make fun of it, but because I'm living in a city with surging rent prices (Portland, so we're not at NYC or Bay Area levels but it's climbing), have food costs that one would expect for a fatty like myself, and still spend about half that a month. I'm genuinely curious where the difference comes in.

Well he did take a mortgage out for a house in a gated community and bought a BMW (iirc). Considering he expected ad money to cover all of that I don't think he is making great financial choices outside of the basics.

E: Oh drat, I guess he didn't take a loan for the BMW but actually used money he withheld from the Mode 7 people to buy it. Watching this video of JohnRambo and Howard discussing Phil is pretty drat depressing :smith:

He no longer buys collector editions, because he only leaves his home once a week and doesn't want to drive to gamestop.

Instead, he insists for weeks that he won't play AAA shooters because he hates everything they stand for, but then on the week of release he accepts PSN card donations from his fans and plays them anyway, while maintaining the bias and making the videos unbearable.

John and Howard go into detail in the 90 Minute video they made talking about it, but basically the extra help they got to make Project 7 were getting tired of doing so much work for no pay, and Phil kept telling John and Howard that they didn't want any money (which was obviously a huge lie). All the while, Phil is buying 600 dollar statues and a brand new BMW.
