DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Flavius Anthemius]

Your use of the word "probably" implies there's a reality where that ISN'T his daily routine. His spending habits and bank leak confirm that that is exactly how everyday of his life goes.

Well yeah I guess I should rephrase, he is a creature of habit, what we do know of his daily routine has been something that he's done for years on end now with little to no variation in his schedule in regards to anything (his days off, his streaming times, the timing of his tweets, his very sloppy sleep schedule etc.). Doing something for so long has meant that he has literally gone to a point of freaking out to his audience when something has broken his schedule in even the most minuscule way and inconsequential way.

The broken shower handle and the recent amazon delivery driver "thief" speak for itself.

 

[Jose Cuervo]

[…] If Phil could get all his groceries and cat food delivered to his front doorstep, he'd basically never have a reason to leave his house ever again. […]

Oh, he most definitely can. But ever since Mama Burnell took little Philip to the mall every week and drop him in the toy aisle so that he could look at toys Mama wouldn’t buy for hours on end, he’s had this genuinely autistic fixation with going shopping every single week.

 

[Wurstbrot]

that amazon delivery story would be the furthest this mall rat would ever need to traverse for the rest of his life.

His hair-stylist who engraves funny mannequins in his backhead seems to sit in another city.
MAYBE DEBUNKED.

 

[PyroAlert]

It has become disturbing that Phil has a dedicated fat whale for each game he plays. It is a major reason why Phil drags out the games as long as he can. Remember the guy who tipped $50+ a stream each time Phil played Hades? That guy is gone now and Phil misses him badly.

Ahh well yes I suppose Phil has to drag himself out of the snort fort in order to access one of his luxurious (that hair stylist does not appear to be very cheap, I would presume he continues to use that salon since she is used to cutting his hair) perhaps he should find a chink down the road who can do it for half the price, he's gotta pay those big bills after all.

Or better yet, he should consider cutting his own hair! It's not like Phil is going to be judged based on the quality of his hair cut, I mean look at how he presents himself on his streams which he considers his office.

You know what nah, Phil is far too incompetent to handle clippers, he'll end up looking like a muppet, I can already see it now," what size blades am I supposed to use, idk man", "where do I start cutting my fringe" and "why is my hair getting caught in the cutting in the blades? How was I supposed to know that was gonna happen".

 

[Paladin Derich]

Die phil

I understand where youre coming from, fam. However, its more entertaining to watch phil deteriorate earlier than most. He has already given up on any self-improvement and lives like a 65 year old at 39. His beard grows out gray while his hair remains jet black, and thinning no less. We're due for a rant about phil finding out he's pre-diabetic.

did dave talk about GOTY nominations, cause it's that time of the year again where he calls these award shows fake and then plugs his own awards show

Spoiler: 2021 SHILL OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS

Just gonna mention The Last of Us 2 to trigger anyone who remembers that very dark time in the DSP-verse

 

[King of Not Playing Games]

The more I learn about the GTA remasters, the more insane I think Phil is for thinking these are any good. They're a buggy mess and obviously made without any kind of attention to detail or reverence for the originals. The character models look fucking absurd. Claude and Tommy, the protagonists look atrocious and bland (Tommy looks like any other NPC and Claude looks like a stupefied idiot), the world is missing collisions in huge areas, all of the color grading and effects from the originals were tossed out, and all the games look like each other, demolishing the originality of each game's visual design. They look like any other Unity shovelware you find on Steam.

And Rockstar pulling all the old releases of the games, forcing people to buy the new release, should be everything DSP stands against. Why isn't he lambasting Rockstar for this obvious cash-grab and anti-gamer behavior?

Phil is quite obviously bending over backwards to defend them for his dentheads' money. Not to mention that they probably haven't even watched the majority of Phil's playthroughs from back in the day to see just how dogshit he really is. It's quite obviously a money scheme for him, and it plays into his "I'm a real gamer who tells it like it is, and not a shill reviewer" shtick. Don't worry, once he's done playing them, he'll give his usual fence-riding review that tells you absolutely nothing about the games.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

We're due for a rant about phil finding out he's pre-diabetic.

Only if he can use it as an excuse for something, like taking more breaks or whatever. Otherwise, Phil doesn't like telling people about his actual problems, I've noticed. Something is obviously up with his teeth, and we discuss it often, but not a peep from the pigroach. Why? Because it's real, he can't exploit it, and, much like being possibly diabetic, it says things about his lifestyle that he doesn't want to acknowledge.

Also, it would require going to a doctor, which I doubt Phil has done his entire adult life. He's scared of interacting with people, and most assuredly has plenty of traumatizing memories of doctor visits as a kid.

And Rockstar pulling all the old releases of the games, forcing people to buy the new release, should be everything DSP stands against. Why isn't he lambasting Rockstar for this obvious cash-grab and anti-gamer behavior?

The only thing he loves as much as wasting money is feeling superior, and he would rather it be fake than real, because then he gets the added satisfaction of being a lying piece of shit and getting away with it. Dishonesty isn't just a panicked knee-jerk reaction from him. It is that, quite often, but it's also a hobby. He frequently has to lie because of some other lie, and that original lie usually happens out of enjoyment. Phil doesn't stress himself out going on some unhinged rant about "It's not a release date, it's a release window!", he RELIEVES his stress with that horse shit, entirely BECAUSE it's bullshit.

There's a reason his pre-streams are more important to him than any other part of his streaming time, and there's a reason they're always chock full of lies. He likes being a liar.

He's loving this game cause in his delusional mind it saved his stream. he had 1000 viewers the first stream exclaimed some arrogant cringe line about welcome home, he knew GTA would bring everyone back. Add to that his massive dick riding he's doing with the Xbox and this is what you get.

NOW once the tips dry up, he'll be agreeing with the mindless idiots who are parroting what they read on twiiter cause they're sheep as he so eloquently called people who were pointing out how broken the game looks and is to play. Agreeing with those doctored screen shots people made just to shit on GTA.

It's already starting to happen, the money buff only blocks out so much of reality but I know there's a specific mission in SA that breaks the game. Like you accept it, it can't be finished and the last autosave was as you auto accept the mission. that might be the tipping point.

Same with Halo, just not as hardcore fanboying as his world salad breaks "EverythingIsAwesomeSydePhil" and he starts bitching about the gamepass and CTF mode. Once tips start to slow down on that it'll be "halo sucks"

 

[Meerkat Ink]

Why isn't he lambasting Rockstar for this obvious cash-grab and anti-gamer behavior?

Because he already put his eggs in the GTA basket way before it even released, he's been claiming that they'd fix November as a streaming month, it went from "nothing to play" to "dood I don't have enough time for everything".

Additionally, don't forget, he got SA for free on GamePass. DSP is a massive shill, even if he doesn't get directly sponsored, being able to generate revenue without spending money on games is the game plan for him.

He'll love the games, until he has to buy the 2 other ones for $60, sees what shit ports they are, and all their other issues.

GTA III is IMO the one we'll see the most salt in.

In the end, he'll be having the same opinions he's bashing now.

Because, well, they're not wrong.

This trilogy is a shitty cash grab, unpolished mobile port.

Timestamped it for you.

But in a nutshell- from what I can remember, he loved RE: Village and Psychonauts and agrees with those nominations but everything else is unworthy. Then he went into some whiney hot take about how it's dumb that they hold the awards in November and not January because now Halo Infinite won't get to be GOTY.

Probably got something wrong there because I struggle to pay attention to him when he's talking now.

 

[NursezillaX]

It feels like he's trying but failing at becoming the next snow karl. A lot of the things he does are clearly trolling attempts, similar to Karl, but in comparison, karl was much better at being subtle about it and pretending like he was asking an innocent question. They also both paypig to Phil to remain in the channel, but Karl used smaller amounts, while Kevin goes over the top. I think he knows Karl was popular and had just enough self awareness to recognize Karl was trying to troll, but the rest goes completely over his head.

Yep, this was absolutely the kind of feeling I was getting from him but couldn't put it into words. Well said!

It's the exact same cryfest from last year just with different game titles.

 

[Paladin Derich]

Poor phil. If he wants to keep his tongue in /leftypol/'s ass, he needs to streamline his kahntent. To be fair, the rule on showers would be an improvement in his case.

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

Which is funny after seeing that neckphone Karen debacle where you know he was never just a window shopper good non-entitled kid who put toys back at the end. Same with the wolverine story, and the n64 console story he told when he simply didn't want to wait until Christmas to receive it. He was always a brat that wanted shit now.

It has become disturbing that Phil has a dedicated fat whale for each game he plays. It is a major reason why Phil drags out the games as long as he can. Remember the guy who tipped $50+ a stream each time Phil played Hades? That guy is gone now and Phil misses him badly.

Same with Danganropa and also Oro Turtle during Nier Replicant. The handholding and whale tipping style seems all too familiar. Shit, I'd say even Papavera.

I don't like getting too conspiracy theorist, if you want to even call it that, but his whales are using all sorts of sock accounts now. Why? I don't know, probably Phil telling them enough that we will find who they are and laugh at them because we are so sick in the head.

 

[Sup3r]

Just like with shadow of war, when he defended the loot boxes until he was affected by it. He will play the contrarian until the thing he defends/criticises has the same effect on him that he'll claim it doesn't.

 

[KingjadVCMP]

I made another DSP video. This one is a bit frustrating as I have no clue whatsoever what could have caused Phil to do this. I just noticed it and thought it was really weird he started spending so much more on grocery shopping, especially at Fred Meyer.

I'd appreciate some knowledge on why if anyone else has a clue.

Didn't Redacted accidentally give away that he was Oroturtle?
