DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Derich 2nd of coomland]

Something where he admited he was wrong on the spot, not weeks, months later.

And even here he never really admit he was wrong about the facemask, he went straight for ''the CDC said'', so he pushed the blame onto them.

But I'm sure that if someone did dig long and hard enough they could find 1 example of him outright admitting he was wrong, and I'm quite sure that he would have retconned that admission oof fucking up later down the line.

I really want to see Phil play some Counter Strike, it's another game a pro gamer with a 10 year legacy should be at least slightly familiar with, like Halo. I thought everyone who's ever touched a controller understands Halo is about wearing down shields and headshots, the game even balances weapons that way.

I wonder if he's ever played Duke 3D or Quake II? They're the only popular shooters without headshot mechanics that I can think of.

And he'll suck at it like how he does with the other games he played.

Regarding Phil's alleged alcoholism:

Phil has admitted that he drank a lot back in the day. Take his "Friend Request Ridicule" videos for example. You can tell he's wasted. Now consider that this was the same time he was working for the helicopter plant and living in his parent's house.

He did eventually move into the Connecticut condo, but his drinking didn't slow down.

He admits that he would come home from work and get drunk and play video games all night. He admits that he called in to work so he could play the day one release of some Spider-Man game or some shit.

He also claims he was the hardest worker at his job and the vice president of Sikorsky personally told him how great he was. The vice president of a $9 billion company personally congratulating a customer service rep. Doubtful on that one, Phil.

Phil's dad had worked for the company for more than 20 years. He went from a low level machine worker to middle management, and there is no doubt in my mind that he got Phil the job. I really don't know anything about Dave, but I suspect he didn't get his promotions by getting drunk every night and calling out of work to play video games.

Phil has stated in past vlogs that he hates shaving. His job had a strict policy that their employees had to look professional and not like a hungover slob. Somehow, Phil claims, he was able to lie to the management and tell them he had a medical condition and he couldn't shave everyday. If you watch videos from this era, you will also notice Phil's buzz cut hair style. It's my personal hypothesis that Phil had his hair cut almost bald so he didn't need to shower everyday, since we know he hates to shower also.

So what was the real reason Phil was "let go" from his job? Was it corporate incompetence, like Phil says, or was it possibly that Phil was an alcoholic who refused to shave or take a shower and would call in to work to play video games all day?

You know, I've joked about Phil having Korsakoff Syndrome several times, but I'm wondering if there's some truth to that. Given Phil's lack of exercise, hermiting and general obnoxiousness, there's a real chance that his brain is pickled by his gin habit. Think about it: his memory troubles (exacerbated by his lying), the making up of stories, the paranoia. They're all symptoms. And again, it's all exacerbated by his echo chamber and inflexibility in his routines. It's all really sad, when you get down to it.

 

[TurdFondler]

The amount of salt a flashbang + awp combo would generate could be monumental.

 

[Tsoliassssssssssssss]

you can't be racist if you are a nigger and by his claims, Phil's a nigger
he's always ahead of us.

 

[Iron Hamster]

He's complaining, because someone had some skull unlock, that he's playing against 'tryhards'. This comes from the fact that Elipsion just told him it was an unlockable kill effect - Phil based his assumption off that piece of information alone.

So if you're good at a game and play it a lot, you're a 'tryhard' and that's deplorable. Unless you played SF for 25 years and run lobbies every week, then you're a respectable OG.
If you learn viable strategies to try to win, leaning on map or specific mechanical knowledge, you're a 'tryhard' and that's deplorable. Unless you're playing the game every week in an attempt do exactly that but everyone is ahead of you, then you're just a victim and a common gamer.
If you try to win, you're a 'tryhard', and that's deplorable. If you freak out when you lose and flee from everyone you know is capable of beating you, then you're just an honorable player.
If you play games competitively, you're a 'tryhard' and that's deplorable. If you complain that a game isn't 'competitively viable' and refuse to play games you don't see as 'competitive', then you're a serious gamer.

Phil is the One True Gamer. If he's losing, someone is in the wrong.

Tryhard Phail really tarnishing his mall trophy and 4th place there.

Phil took his wife to Burger King drive through for her birthday and wasn't pleased with how the sandwich looked so he took a picture of it and shows it often on his stream while whining about Burger King in general. Somehow all of that made him think he won his match against BK.

But it was only a joke remember? Kiwifarts does.

Ahh well he used to have a PC in his parents house with a LAN set up and everything, he'd play games like unreal tournament and quake on that shit with other people. It's not as if Phil is allergic to shooters, he's been surrounded by the genre for almost as long as he has with fighting games, but for a multitude of reasons he's just downright terrible at them and is only good at pwning noobs which have minimal experience with them. This is why you have Phil going ham in lobbies during early releases of shooters as he's going up against people on an even level playing field, as time goes on his flaws become more noticeable and limit how far he can push his skill ceiling.

You know, I've joked about Phil having Korsakoff Syndrome several times, but I'm wondering if there's some truth to that. Given Phil's lack of exercise, hermiting and general obnoxiousness, there's a real chance that his brain is pickled by his gin habit.

And again, it's all exacerbated by his echo chamber and inflexibility in his routines. It's all really sad, when you get down to it.

Reason I can't get down with this theory is that Phil very clearly loves to indulge in literally every quirk, tick, and vice he has, which means he drinks a lot because he also loves to lie a lot, over-share, project, shift the blame, get jealous, talk about poop, make racist remarks, waste his money on useless garbage, etc. etc. Everything you can think of in Phil's behavior, he goes over the top with, as much as he possibly can. And he doesn't need to be an alcoholic to be like that, either.

I have no doubt that Phil has fucked himself up permanently from drinking too much, but it isn't the reason he's a pigroach. That stems from him being the type of addict who wants to not get better, just be enabled forever. There's no way he was already brain damaged back in the early 2000s when his shitty personality started getting him a rep, and I stand confident that he was a dick in high school as well, we just don't have the stories because he more than likely held it in back then. Just as he has been holding back his racist humor for years, in direct contrast to how much he wants to let loose with it just like he does all his other habits.

Oh, and that's to say nothing of the fact that his drunkenness these days is causing the real Phil to come out and play, making him be honest. And then lie about what he said, with much indignation that anyone would dare notice that he is still Young Phil at heart. Again, cementing that he really wants to indulge in all his habits to the fullest extent, and is running problems doing so because he can't drink so much AND stave off those moments where his rep gets sent back by the n-word he clearly says off-camera with frequency. Phil is not mad that he's fucking himself, he's mad that the world isn't letting him do everything he wants, which involves way more than getting wasted.

Basically, Phil's addiction is to being an addict. It doesn't matter what his vices are, he'll always feel entitled to keeping every single one of them fat and happy until the day he dies of them. There's a reason that punishing him for his behavior never teaches him anything, and it isn't from his low IQ. Even dumbasses stop playing with fire after getting burned, unless, like Phil, they need the feeling of getting away with shit more than they hate the feeling of not getting with it.

Basically, Phil's addiction is to being an addict. It doesn't matter what his vices are.

I volunteer with a charity that provides resources to addicts and this is more common than you think. Addicts who have spiraled into the depths of their habits and then leave, or have to cut back, yearn for the ritual of engaging in their vices. In this case, Phil's ritual is getting paid... and digging his skin and picking and burping and sperging out. All that matters is the ritual.

ahh the lan parties he had while also traveling to locals playing street fighter all the time and going to chinatown arcade in nyc while also growing up with JRPGS while being a body builder all with a burnt face and hawt latina by his side.

 

[EmpGulcasa]

I fucking hate DSP.

 

[Pargon]

ahh the lan parties he had while also traveling to locals playing street fighter all the time and going to chinatown arcade in nyc while also growing up with JRPGS while being a body builder all with a burnt face and hawt latina by his side.

And living in the party dorm and denying sex to drunk girls and beating the whole high school chess team and showing up every boss he ever had (and then getting fired for it) and getting Judas’d by his only friends and and and fucking and

Maybe that’s why Phil is a Sam’s Choice JD Salinger. He’d already lived a full life by the time he was thirty.

Phil blames the stove for burning his hand.

He really does, because he just feels so entitled to getting away with the bad behavior he never stops engaging in. And it's definitely entitlement, because you'll notice that when Phil gets what he wants in that regard, he isn't grateful for it at all. It's what's supposed to happen, in his view, and there's not an era of his life that I'm aware of when he wasn't like that. So it can't be the effects of alcoholism.

Phil's ritual is numerous and he isn't remotely interested in fighting them, that's the difference between he and those addicts. For example...

You can point how how ridiculous this all sounds, especially when you combine it all, and Phil's reaction is always going to be, no matter how old he is, to get indignant. Why? Because it's a vice and you're denying him the other half of it: a lack of downsides.

Other addicts are able to recover, and it's because they have the capacity to feel bad about their addictions. Phil has never had that, not one day in his life. He knows he's supposed to be ashamed, that's why he tries to hide shit like his gacha spending, but he doesn't feel it himself. Ever.

I never really bothered to read a single schedule until now and holy shit, what an absolute mess of a format. As expected of PPB.

Nearly everything is in bold letters instead of using them to mark the important stuff, no usage of cursives, plenty of caps everywhere... Jesus fucking christ.

Even those vtubers that you hate so much -unless you can clout chase them like you did- make a better schedule announcement, Pig. And that's despite the 99% chance of them swapping it for something else lmao

Don't forget somehow having such a bad reaction from smoking the 420 that it made him shit and vomit at the same time... AND THE CRACKERS WERE MOLDY!

You know, I've joked about Phil having Korsakoff Syndrome several times, but I'm wondering if there's some truth to that. Given Phil's lack of exercise, hermiting and general obnoxiousness, there's a real chance that his brain is pickled by his gin habit. Think about it: his memory troubles (exacerbated by his lying), the making up of stories, the paranoia. They're all symptoms. And again, it's all exacerbated by his echo chamber and inflexibility in his routines. It's all really sad, when you get down to it.

Korsakoff is much worse than Phil acts. Phil is an amoral liar but he's not totally incoherent or unable to function. Lying is one thing, it's not the same as actual memory loss. Phil can also leave the house without getting lost. I mean, he's just not at that point. Phil acts like a paranoid alcoholic who lies to make money, not someone a year from needing assisted care to function.

Okay so in his schedule he says Metroid Dread is getting GREAT support. This makes me want to go through @N0thingICanDo 's status updates and see every time he complained about low support during a Metroid Dread stream.
