Ngl my dude posting those screenshots up there in the video is pretty weird and kinda concerning. No matter how justified you might feel (even correctly so), it doesn't paint you in a good light, especially when you throw up DM's with absolutely no context and no real reason for them being there.
@@Vizzer96eh, sometimes after something that horrendous you’ve just gotta vent. Fair play and I hope he’s doing well now that he’s landed with a sane person.
@@Vizzer96 kinda right there dude, just comes across as a bit insensitive. Fair enough to wanna feel validated about how shes crazy etc, but she's a flawed human being and removing her dignity is stooping to her level. Love your videos but those screenshots were a rare L
@@Vizzer96 Yeah I agree. I think if he wants to open up publicly about his personal life, he can do so more carefully and seriously.

Outer Wilds is brilliant...! Hard to explain without spoiling. It does a lot of things that I haven't seen before in games, which made exploration wonderful. OW and Obra Dinn are games I wish I could play for the first time again.

@@2kliksphilip It is interesting to see the different avenues of manipulation she used even in that short excerpt. Makes it so much more obvious when you don't answer anything.
I love your vids like these because it shows the true humanity. Also those dating shots are HILARIOUS. Love it man keep it up and SLAY THE SPIRE is fantastic!
its crazy that I went through the same slay the spire journey as you this year. I tried it so many times before and bounced off it because i sucked so much but when I tried it again this year (because of balatro) it just clicked. While i haven't been as addicted as you, It was like I was hearing myself when you were talking about it being the perfect game. Even after 150+ hours I still find new combos and unique situations to the point where it pisses me off how someone can be so much more talented than me.
Balatro isn’t nearly as well balanced, and very different play feeling. Balatro is almost entirely about the joker RNG. Slay feels more like an adventure rogue-like.
Balatro has more satisfying animations but even though I managed to play slay the spire for over 800 hours I quickly got bored of Balatro after beating every difficulty. It just feels so random.
its crazy that they made slay the spire and literally made the best possible game. like everyone has tried to match it but nothing really gets to the spires level. i love balatro but it can get a bit samey. the idea of getting gold stake on 15+ decks when there arent THAT many builds to justify the time commitment... like each deck isnt THAT different end of the day- only slight modifications to the playstyle. Compare balatros decks to slay the spires characters which are COMPLETELY differnet, you can see the difference which just makes playing the game for long time feel more rewarding and unique with StS balatro is goated on the phone though to kill time, never got slay the spire on mobile but man it makes it so more convenient (and id rather have it on my phone then my steam deck to be honest). also balatro is better than StS in every element except the gameplay. the vibes are just too engrossing.
I am a very big fan of that "ending as you start". Makes the video feel very fluid, almost like a snack! In comparison other videos feel more sluggish, as if wading through water...
I was looking for this comment, yeah, they look very concerning. "Used me for sex" and then there are no more replies??? Wasn't Phillip in a relationship already? Even if those screenshots are a joke, it had a terrible delivery, not funny.
You made me play Thalos Principle 1 with your video about it, simply by saying "do it without any information in advance". Then i stopped the video, bought it and had a blast of a time, holy moly. After i finished the game, i watched your Video 😋 Thank God i simply trusted you in this regard. Than you so much for that. Lookinh forward to your Thalos Principle 2 Video.
What bit about ready or not do you find hard? (Post update) My friends and I kinda steamrolled through it and were disapointed it didn't prove to be more of a challange. We did wonder if there was a difficulty setting we missed somewhere but couldn't find one. I'd be interested to hear what you and your friends found particually hard about the game.
Ah yes my favorite game, indiana jones and the glory hole. Seriously, what were they thinking EDIT: Holy shit those text messages seem like somebody is in need of a psychiatric evaluation and support by a therapist
There seem to be 2 camps in the video comments. One wants Phillip cancelled for publishing even a single letter from a DM, the other ones are giving him the neede validation and support. I honestly don't know which one of these to be. i see no issue in these DMs because a lot of stuff could be blurred out, to talk about Phillips experience without directly mentioning others. I feel like it's a good compromise for such a topic.
what you described sounds kinda funny, but in reality is an admission of gaming addiction When a habit, including a game, disrupts your life to the point you dont make vids, are late to things, etc, thats addiction.
hey I really love videos that you talk more about the shit you love and not random cs2 updates. I hope you get over with the crap you currently dealing through and be happy!
Slay the Spire is just magical. I have zero patience for deck builders. Even Hearthstone was too much for me. But this game gets its hooks into you and makes you feel like a god when you find a good combo that synergizes well against a boss.
Of course you're using Southern Horizons as the BGM while talking about The Talos Principle 2. Always became the best philosopher when that track started playing.
i have never heard of slay the spire before. after finishing this video i swapped to the reddit tab i had open and there right smack bang in the middle was a post from r/slaythespire. mere seconds after finishing the video. the frequency illusion hard at work right here
@@KingLich451The writing is good enough for me to make me think about how I feel about the themes of the game. The voice acting is a bit lacking in places though
If you like Slay the Spire, you should like The Binding of Isaac. A new update just came out, too. There's a similar learning curve, and a surprising amount of strategy in a simple concept.
I gave my Dad slay the spire while he was on painkillers recovering from a knee surgery. He instantly became addicted and only managed to beat the first boss twice.
I loved first Talos Principle, the moment second part come out i bought it. unfortunately i never got to finish it because of INSANE LEVELS OF NAUSEA AND HEADACHE the game gave me, i have no idea what it is but something about Unreal Engines Denoisers and Upscalers makes me really disoriented and confused. I tried to turn any type of screen slop smearing off but it would make the game run awfully. I since you mentioned the game i may give it a second try and see if the nausea issue improved...
talos principle uses the same engine as serious sam, which is not unreal engine. it's more likely the graphics and camera that's causing you motion sickness, that's also why I hadn't been able to complete the game at all.
Okay Philip you got me to play Slay the Spire and yeah, yeah... it's brilliant. But you have to play Outer Wilds, even if you don't talk about it or make a video about it ever. It's just something that needs to be experienced.

I don't think you talk about Slay the Spire enough in this video
The list I've been waiting for
its crazy that I went through the same slay the spire journey as you this year.

While i haven't been as addicted as you, It was like I was hearing myself when you were talking about it being the perfect game. Even after 150+ hours I still find new combos and unique situations to the point where it pisses me off how someone can be so much more talented than me.
I can't wait for Talos Principle 2 video. The video for the first game was great and is one of my favorite videos of yours.
Don't tell Phil about Balatro
He should consider playing Elden Ring too...
Balatro isn’t nearly as well balanced, and very different play feeling. Balatro is almost entirely about the joker RNG. Slay feels more like an adventure rogue-like.
Balatro an an aesthetic masterpiece but Slay the Spire is a far better designed card game
Balatro has more satisfying animations but even though I managed to play slay the spire for over 800 hours I quickly got bored of Balatro after beating every difficulty. It just feels so random.
its crazy that they made slay the spire and literally made the best possible game. like everyone has tried to match it but nothing really gets to the spires level. i love balatro but it can get a bit samey. the idea of getting gold stake on 15+ decks when there arent THAT many builds to justify the time commitment... like each deck isnt THAT different end of the day- only slight modifications to the playstyle.

fuck yeaaaasss slay the spire has been officially recognised by philib 🎉🎉
Just got Slay the Spire after watching this, I think the next few months of my life have been changed a lot thanks to you
7:35 reminds me of my ex, hated those kinds of responses
Wanting attention like a child. As if I don't have enough issues in life without manufacturing more 🤣
The slay the spire steam deck combo is so dangerous lmao. Slay the spire all the time everywhere :)
Anyone who breaks up via text at 6am is a major red flag dodged.
Man, I do appreciate that you're never afraid to go against the zeitgeist and judge something on its own merits.
Happy New Year Mr Phil!
"Flawless" (Slay the Spire). I mean, the art is hideous, so they still have something to work on.
bro forgot to blur the first frame
Happy New Year Phil! ❤️ Sorry to hear about what happened, seems really stressful. Stay strong and move forward. It get easier with time 💪
I have like 700+ hours in slay the spire between the steam version, downfall, and the mobile version... it really is addictive!
This feels like one of those videos people will look back and think "how could we not see it coming?"
what slay the spire does to a mf
I am a very big fan of that "ending as you start". Makes the video feel very fluid, almost like a snack! In comparison other videos feel more sluggish, as if wading through water...

I thought I remember him talking about it before
Love slay the spire ! Getting every achievement was so much fun
Hope Slay the Spire can also top the 2025 video as well. Hoping the sequel is just as good.
Nah I think balatro and slay the spire are peaks of two different neighboring mountains they are similar in greatness but not comparable directly
I love how all of my favorite TH-camrs are getting into bouldering, I slowly feel more welcome as the resident boulder bro of my group

I've played and enjoyed so many Slay the Spire derivatives. I should probably try the original at this point
those DM's are giving me flashbacks of my one relationship in 2024 LOL
is this guy ok
yes
have you tried Echo Point Nova, it may be a little too fast for your old and brittle bones though
This was the year of revisiting StS for me too
I have never ever seen gameplay of Slay the Spire and now I really want to play it…dang it! I already bought Balatro.
Of course you're using Southern Horizons as the BGM while talking about The Talos Principle 2. Always became the best philosopher when that track started playing.
Not sure if Philip is freaking out about his relationships or his Slay the Spire addiction
Somehow having multiple relationships with very strange people is entirely on brand for kliksphilip.
Philip you need to stay single for the fans, like those Korean pop stars that aren't allowed to date in public.

don't post DMs thats weird man
