Supporting charities is an easy exploit to get attention. You shouldn't care what type of movement or charity a celebrity or game dev supports. It's just and easy way to get positive PR, people always eat it up because they are stupid. It's why companies are so SJW now and exploit SJW controversies for marketing.

People like to abuse charities for scams and personal gains, it's just too easy. For example Awesome Games Done Quick raises money against cancer (Prevent Cancer Foundation). People found out they give the charity only a little amount of what they raised and pocket most of the money for themselves. They ban anyone who isn't 100% SJW friendly because they only care about money. Or there was a video about how PDP became famous. The video ended with how PDP is an awesome person because he once promoted a charity.

The bottom line is: don't give a fuck what movement/charity someone supports if his intention is to get your money or sympathy.

I agree for the most part, in my opinion, true charity doesn't care about attention or recognition. If you truly want to help someone, announcing that you did it should be unnecessary; that's why I like Phil's stance on this, when he explained how he does charity.

Nicely said.

 

@dsfan324

I read what you said, concerning charity events. Yeah. I agree with most of it too. As a word of caution, be careful who you give/donate, your money to.

Yeah. Medicine has a tendency, to psychologically affects animals. It makes them feel confused and rotten.

And don't worry, if she is stumbling and acting drunk. As you know, the medicine will wear off, in a couple of days. Or probably a week. Hopefully moreso, in a couple of days.

Couple of days? I'd be worried if it didn't wear off the next day. She's OK now but desperate seeking attention all day.

When I could manage, I played a good chunk of Spyro 1 and 2 today, just alternating between both games. They are practically the same game, so there wasn't much of a difference. Though I was really confused when I was trying to do the hover mechanic with Spyro and realized after 5 minutes that it wasn't introduced until Spyro 2.

Oh hey, apparently my new Tablet came in on friday but just found it.

I prefer smaller tablets, my old one was 8" so this one's a big bigger. The SD card slot is also a pain to remove.

I'll get used to it, basically going to turn everything off and uninstall everything. Get that maximum battery life.

Big spoils for Sekiro on the net, so beware if you're getting it next weekend. I'm sure I'll be marathoning it for a few nights.

Some of the bosses are pretty rad, definitely just Bloodborne/Soulslike.

There's a mechanic being introduced called Dragonrot that basically just sounds like they are bringing back World Tendency from Demon souls.

I don't see whats the big hype about this game. Its Dark Souls again. Outside of that shit VR game they haven't stopped making Dark Souls games in 6 years. Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodbourne, Dark Souls 3, now this. The market is starting to get saturated. 

This game doesn't look that great, and with Ghost of Tsushima around the corner, as for samurai games, this can easily be passed.

I looked at gameplay. Phil is planning on this to be the most important release of his career with his financial problems and with Dark Souls-esque games attracting his biggest audiences. Though im positive he isnt going to like this game. Ive heard people who played say the fights will always be unfair so you have to strategize and not gun-ho it, which is not Phil's playstyle. I've heard stealth is necessary, which Phil isn't really good at. And the game is less linear and more open world based, which means Phil can't simply just run past enemies. We'll see.

Same here. I prefer smaller tablets too. And the one I'm using right now, is a samsung, which is about 7 inches. But one thing I like about tablets, is that emulators, always seem to run better on them. And I like the screen size too. 

Yeah. That SD card slot thing.

So you're going to uninstall those included apps? I don't blame ya dude. Even though, they kinda come in handy, on my tablet.

How to Turn the Wii U GamePad Screen Off

• From the Wii U Menu, press the HOME Button.
• Tap "Controller Settings" on the left.
• Underneath the Wii U GamePad Settings tap "Display Off."
• Tap "Display Off" again to confirm.
• Press any button on the Wii U GamePad to turn the display back on.

So the guy telling him to press the power button was obviously trolling.

Maybe, the best income in the game is wine once you unlock it.

Phil wanted to turn off gamepad, guy tells him to hold down power button. Then says he meant "press".  0:50

It appears you were too hasty when you made that allegation.

Well it says it only works when using Wii menu or software but when playing WiiU games it will turn off the console.

It's a common joke. The comment said "hold down power button and choose to turn off gamepad screen". Maybe he just mixed up power and home button.

Here, have a shitty meme edit

 Just watched Phil's recent video. How come everytime he does these fundraisers, there is always something else counter intuitive to him getting out of debt is happening? Last year when he was on the verge of losing his house due to taxes he got the money and immediately moved his girlfriend in and brought her all this stuff to get settled. This year its a trip to Connecticut which each passing day seems like its less about visiting his parents and more about taking Kat to all the places he took his ex- girlfriend.

Then he say's if he moves into apartment, the internet will be shared so the quality of his streams will suffer. What? Never heard of paying for an internet service and it gets shared with all the other neighbors. Last time I checked, I can have Xfinity and my neighbor can have AT&T. Theres nothing shared about it unless you deliberately make your wifi unpassworded. Plenty of streamers bigger than Phil have no problems and live in an apartment.

He goes into saying he wont have an office to set up his stuff up like the soundproofing. First of all, that soundproofing configuration he has does nothing. I cant count how many times Ive heard ambient noises around the room or Phil's toilet being flushed. Plus its kind of pointless to have quality sound when you're burping and crushing water bottles into the mic. Second, Phil is in a spare bedroom and calling it an office. You could do the same thing in an apartment. 

Lastly, he say's if he sells the house and moves it will be time consuming and take away from his streams. He literally moved across the country and had no problems back then, though he wasn't streaming, there are plenty of ways to work out getting content to his fans. Just have to be creative. Now its too difficult to move across town?

All the reasons he brought up seem futile. I understand selling his house would be a huge blow to his ego, but he's not the first person to downsize his lifestyle because a change in finances. Plus, the main reason his taxes are much higher because he made more money. Whats going to happen this time next year? Not to mention there has been no hard evidence, paperwork, or even a solid number of any of his tax problems. Just using last years fundraiser's "success" as an example, the only thing I know is he got the money in January, moved Kat in Febuary, asked for more money in March and April, then sometime last fall he said he still used $10,000 in credit to pay his taxes. Real shaky.

I'll support by just watching but there's too many plot holes to invest my hard earned money to this.

Or course when they are already there he wants to make use of the time and show her places. It's understandable they want to make a little vacation out of it. No need to make a big deal out of it.

People say all the time how shitty American Internet is. And when he moves into a rented apartment he has to use their lines and provider.

The foam is against echo from the wall not about soundproofing.

Since he works from home he could be able to write off a bunch of living expenses from taxes.
