DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Surly Muppet]

Phil is begging for buy in for Vice City because he will be making "ZERO... <fingers in form of O presented to the camera>"

He must have forgot that he told us he is making ad revenue. He said his income held steady while playing GTA:SA, Fortttzaaa, and Guardians, it just didn't go up as it usually does. This means that, regardless of the truth, by Phil's own admission, he is making something off ad revenue, just a reduced amount.

So when he says "ZEERROOOO", what he actually means is "zero extra income" and is just lying. By his own explanation of his revenue. If he was making nothing, his income would not have remained steady.
Curiously, he mentioned the fact that his income 'held steady' 2 minutes after saying he makes nothing.

He is now screaming that the sky is falling with every single playthrough. There is a reason to need 'buy in' for every one of them. Lost ad revenue? Gotta buy in! Metroidvania is allegedly 'always' slow? Gotta buy in! Halo is back and Phil isn't sure if the franchise is still loved? Gotta buy in! Fortttzaaa is a chill playthrough and Phil isn't sure if people want to chill anymore? Gotta buy in! These are fast, easy emergencies to manufacture, they're paying off, and in typical Phil fashion, that means you just spam it on repeat until it starts to yield diminishing returns.

This bothers me too much. Maybe he will get it fixed in a few years if he is still kicking.

This. Phil isn't capable of having a mid-life crisis, because that requires more honesty and thoughts of the distant future than he has ever displayed. Not to mention that despite his bluster about being a mature adult who doesn't make juvenile remarks when there's T & A on screen, Phil does not at all recognize that he's not a young man anymore, he very much acts like retirement age is way too far away for his lazy ass to have to worry about yet.

Yeah, this is spot on. Midlife crises are usually thought of as a response to realizing one is getting older, maybe even thinking in more serious terms regarding their mortality. Dave does not think in these terms at all. One of the biggest examples of this is the fact that he often refers to him streaming 10 and 12 years down the road from now without any qualifiers like, '....that is, if video game streaming is still something that people have enough of an interest in that you can continue doing it for a living'.

The guy can't even thing in honest and realistic terms about how crazy it is for him to have zero other plans for 10 years from now (like he promised someone he would) other than just hoping there are still gonna be enough people who are willing enough to give him enough money for playing video games badly to be able to live off of. He does absolutely none of the kind of long-term thinking about any aspect of his life that leads someone to start exhibiting midlife crisis behavior.

Unrelated, but I hear him talking about this in the background as I'm writing. He's doing his usual begging and whining about 'buy in' as a 'reward' for the monumental gift he has bestowed upon us by... playing the game as it's intended to be played and not making his playthrough crappy. At least in terms of the music that is, it'll suck for a bunch of other reasons. What it made me wonder though was if there's any way to see how honest he's being about videos getting claimed. I know certain music absolutely does get claimed, sometimes even blocked, but it had me wondering if there was any way to know if he's really making the literal zero dollars of ad revenue on these videos that he's repeatedly claiming. If there's no way to verify it, he has no reason to be truthful about it, and I absolutely do not put it past him to lie about it to be able to get those sweet, sweet 'buy ins'.

this fucking overlay...

Anywho I wondered what the piggy was going on about now, and oh look something he has no idea what he's talking about cause he read it on twitter in a tweet about something that happened to the OP's friend, even printed it out.

Calls the people who say that that's how business works dumb and lazy...on his stream cause he doesn't have the balls to say this on twitter, his safe space and all.

A 40 year old with a business degree doesn't understand companies can lay you off if they want ESPECIALLY in California an employment at will state.

Just cause they say they're going to do something doesn't mean they're legally obligated to do so.

you dumb fuck phil.

Now he's memory holing the existence of tips.

 

[PieceofShet]

DSP stopped the game cause a mod is banning members. At least thats what people in DDM chat said.

(from a distance ) "haha, not a mod anymore"

 

[Dona Morte]

I swear these people are ALL special.
Legacy mod doodz!'


So it is confirmed it is DMC? That COULD be Darren - Darren, some middle name, Cox?
Mid stream whale call.

113.78 tip. An odd amount to tip.

 

[MAWBD]

His mods are a special kind of retards.

 

[NursezillaX]

Goddamn, Derich, you fucking weirdo....

Edited so that the pics are not obnoxious, sorry about that haha

This rant about Activision Blizzard turned into yet another masturbation fest for Phil. Really? You think you're special because you got an award certificate that you still cling to and will probably lug out to go along with the trophy from over 20 years ago because your ego is constantly assbruised, Phil? What the fuck does that have to do with what's gone on at Activision? And of course, you go out of your way to insult people who disagree with you because you're the only one who's right. It would be hilarious if someone did a rebuttal of Phil's "podcast", taking him behind the woodshed to show how stupid and hypocritical he is.

 

[Dona Morte]

We know dude. We know



Giving of sad boi vibes in DSP chat. I am getting more depressed reading his messages.
He should tip more so DSP can be a better friend.
Never thought I would say it but I AGREE with Dave, that suggestion was stupid.

Yeah that whole thing was painful to listen to. But leave it to Phil to turn anything into a woe is me.

My two greatest takeaways from the early stream is that Phil admitted that he talks more to his wheelchairs than any people IRL, we already knew this but him admitting it and failing to see any problem is fucking sad.

The second is that I just watched Almighty Frogga turn his reeestream into a strip club with Samus Aran performing lap dances.

Big ups to Blooper World Order and @Forbidden Math for getting those lap dances.

Jesus fucking god damn Christ. Someone please kill that thing with fire before it lays eggs.

 

[Wasabi Panda]

Next retrospective someone should ask if he still has the ACE certificate. Maybe he can dig it out from the closet and make it a $200 tip goal """reward""".

Might just mount it with his YouTube plaque or that gaming Trophy next time he's feeling deficient.

Samus is a hard working woman.

It really shows how boring DSP's GTA streams are that for the entire start of GTA:VC we just didn't pay any attention to him. Also we had more fun in Almighty Frogga's chat than anyone's had in DSP's chat ever.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

He feels nothing from it because he never liked people enough to miss the joys of companionship now. Don't be fooled by his talk of John Rambo, his longing is for being apologized to, not the memories he made with the guy. There's a reason he refuses to call him and instead puts the onus on John to reach out. If he wanted friends, that desire would not match his need to be an asshole forever, anyway.

What I enjoy is that Phil WOULD like to increase his fanbase, but can't do it though ANY means because he knows he'll inevitably piss them off unless they're utterly exceptional. Which doesn't help him find anybody since they're naturally shy outside of the safe space he lets them visit.

apparently only derich is allowed to legit spam the chat with random facts about tony lewis and get away with it.

and i don't see a crown next to his name.

The only explanation I can think of is that Phil is afraid of berating Derich the way he does with the others because out of the whole pack of tards, even Phil considers Derich to be the biggest tard, and therefore by default being the one to get held with kid gloves. I think this because we know that he instructed his mods behind the scenes about Sidella (or Swaggins? I don't know, somebody) based on them being exceedingly exceptional.

We know it's fear, not empathy, because Phil doesn't have the latter. Especially not with people he would rather die than admit he fits in with.
