Actually he doesn't. He has already said that unless his Twitch becomes financially viable for him (which it hasn't and never will), he can't afford a wedding...which means he spent 240 dollars on an engagement ring just to hopefully appease Leanna for a while.

$1100 a month would give me barely anything to work with after the rent for my one-bedroom apartment, so I don't know how Phil is handling it.

Required by his programming!
his other sources of income + his fiancee's income would have to quintuple the displayed numbers on patreon to reach the average income for an american family. i'm sure irresponsible spending is a fair bit of it, and his habits publishing what work he has and interactions with the community he's got are hilariously bad and certainly not helping. again though, dude does not have it made.

That's exactly my point though. He's going to use it as another angle from which to panhandle from his audience.

His fan's pity money is drying up fast though, and that stunt of trying to tell his stream chat HOW to "cheer him properly" did not go over well. Nothing short of trading fanbase with Maximilian_d00d is gonna save him.

He has a job. The issue is his over-spending in combination with his inability to do his job properly or get an additional part-time job as supplementary income.

Coolguye posted:

please do not pretend like he's made it in the shade because his patreon has numbers on it. this isn't to defend him but let's at least make our complaints about his behavior coherent.

If he's really got his head so far up his rear end that he refuses to get a real job and a real source of income after he's failed at this little avenue for so long, then he deserves every loving bit of the poo poo situation he's put himself into. His little squeeze is no different. She knows his personality and the way he acts better than anybody considering she lives with him. If she's willing to tie herself to him after that knowledge, then they both deserve every bit of whatever impoverished life they etch out for themselves. Pity went out the window long ago, now all that's left is to point and laugh at the dumb gently caress who has a head hard enough he could crack boulders.

I think most people haven't pushed it because they don't want to risk it. They did push back the cutoff date to the end of November, which is about the beginning of the final act, and I would honestly expect the cutoff to be gone entirely by the end of the year.

Well they loosened their restriction to be you can't stream after sometime in November in-game, but I don't think they were actively going after people even when the limit was 7/7.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

That said, I've seen a lot of videos of events past the original cut-off date, so it's not like Atlus has been really enforcing their policy anyway. It seems to me they just put that out there to appease the brass over at Sega or Atlus Japan.

You can make your Ps4 stream to the computer via some kind of free remote capture software and send it to OBS. It's how I am able to see everything, and yes, even past Illegal Day. I'm the real Phantom Thiefs. My code name is "judge" and the treasure inside the computer is a magazine about Branding.

Yeah, I've been experimenting with this, the quality is not really what I'd like it to be, but I'll be damned if it isn't kind of neat to be able to do it in the first place. I'm sort of hoping I can cut down on the size of the game window and then crop video and then expand again and get less artifacting, but I doubt it'll work.

Edit: It kind of works OK. My first test video just processed through while I was writing the above and it's an improvement.

The only interesting looking level in the whole game was Pewd's house at the beginning, because everything else looks like a empty void with some generic enemies. Also if I were to make a game about a famous LPer that plays mostly horror, shooter, and dumb flash games, I wouldn't make it a platformer of all things.

80s and 90s shovelware is a good way to describe it. Even the controls looked floaty as hell and lacked precision which they just compensated for by giving you more health. However, since every check point is a full refill, you can generally just run through the levels without giving a drat and make it just fine. Also difficulty was just how much damage you took per hit. One, two, or three hearts.
