DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[gobsmackedmortician]

Phil cant work a human job because he is barely human he is a money creature .

 

[Lady Adjani]

It's not work when you enjoy it, actually have fun with your fans and make a living from it. It's like pro sports. Is wrestling a real job?

Shroud cited his aversion to work as being the reason he streams. When another viewer pushed back on this comment and said that streaming is work, Shroud replied:

"Streaming is work? No it's not fucking work, it's a god damned joke. Look, I'm sitting here doing nothing."

Calling streaming "work" or equating it to a regular 9-5 job is just a cope by eternal manchildren that want to be the next big streaming sensation and coast by in life with minimal effort. 8mil+ people wouldn't be streaming on twitch if this shit was in any way hard or demanding work, just look at Dave.

I know people that work 80 hours a week and still have time for friends. Phil you're ahnestly the worst at everything.
Also what gave you the idea that the xbox version would have better netcode. You really think people playing on consoles, when fightcade exists, have anything better than mcdonalds wifi? There's so many games by now getting rollback, even on console, play something better than Turbo or get on Fightcade

 

[Mastr Blstr]

I never thought I'd hear Phil bitch about a console not letting you bind three buttons to a single input. Hardcore SF2 Arcade player Phil, is mad about a console quality of life change that he can't handle... while playing on an arcade stick.

You're admitting you're not as good as you like to think you are Phil. You have three buttons and 5 fingers, figure it the fuck out.

Edit: Okay, he's not using his arcade stick since he's on the xbox, but point stands. Adapt and overcome, I'm pretty sure one of his OG SF friends from the East Coast sells a shirt that says something about that.

Broylegs plays with his fucking face! Why? Because he has to. Adapt and overcome. I fucking hate Phil

 

[ProvenWrong]

Even if it doesn't, in the next few years Scopely will deem it unprofitable and switch the servers off. All of Phil's hard work, his $100k+ investment, will be gone forever at the single click of an intern's mouse.

* In the future*
" @WWEChampions why'd you end my champions legacy of 10.5 years ? Apologize to me and I'll let your business thrive again. @Twitch I'm still waiting for my apology from you as well. "

Anyone actually check to see if Phil was one of the pioneers of Let's Plays? I searched from the start of YouTube's creation until Phil's first gameplay video and it looks like people were doing it a year to two years or so before he ever started. Seems he isn't even part of the first wave let alone pioneer of it.

Let's Plays Feb 14, 2005 - Apr 15, 2010

Autistic Screech

I just did a whole thing on this last week. Fucking newfags. In short. No. By no fucking metric is Phil first on anything in the LP world. He only got big because he stubbornly recorded big AAA games in the best way of the worst possible medium.

But the reason I started talking, is I want to talk about why he got big. And how his direct capture wasn't even ideal then.

Like, if you weren't around Youtube way back when, there is something you should know. It had a 10 minute limit. Which meant that doing an entire video game was really chunked up. Even an hour long video game like say Sonic, was gonna be in 6+ parts. Now that kind of worked, but get any longer and it got really annoying. I'm not even sure if playlists existed quite yet.

Now, add in that capture cards were "expensive". Kinda hard to come by too. This meant that you had two options. Film your TV, as webcams were actually hitting peak cheapness. Or play something that could be on your computer. Like emulating old games.

So, these two points synthesized adds up to what happened. It wasn't LPs that were everywhere on Youtube. It was AVGN clones, but then that kinda melted away to "reviewers". I don't have hard numbers, but when I think back to that time, thats what I remember most on Youtube gaming. And I can back it up in two ways. One, the complaints about "who would watch a guy play a whole video game, wouldn't that ruin the whole game for you?" started up later than Youtube's start. I remember it more with Game Grumps and PewDiePie. (Christ Chrome autocorrect fixed his name for me...)

Two, there are some old channels, Yahtzee comes to mind that have like clips of games. This is because LPers didn't play the whole game on video. Instead, they'd type it out, but then record the really interesting bits they felt should be in motion. Which in case if you ever wonder about Slowbeef's part in the vortex. For the famous sites that were doing LPs, Something Awful and later LP archive. He was the first to do a whole game, The Immortal, in video. As it was a fairly short game, and it was better to explain in motion.

Now, that finally brings us to DarksydePhil. (Look at that, Chrome doesn't autocorrect his name) What DSP did was fill a niche. A niche left open because anyone with pride in their work thought it was shit. As well as it did require some money and stubborness. But that was, he played new games. All the way through. In 10 minute chunks. Recorded off his TV. Also, just because I am being needlessly thorough, at this point, PC was kinda dead. Like no one was bringing big AAA games to PC. They existed sure, and I was a PC gamer at that time. The kinda stuff people wanted to see was either console exclusive, or ran like shit on PC. Or was so resource intensive that recording it too was gonna be hard. Which means, that yeah, DSP actually was the first to bring big new games completely to Youtube. It was for a good reason no one fucking did that. But, he did it. And there were people who were gonna watch it. Because also that "new gen" was actually relatively expensive.

So DSP was a sweaty pollock oasis in a content desert for people who wanted to see all of the hot new game. Even weirder, was that he wasn't even the laziest. Retsupurae showed that people were willing to watch that shit and make that shit, but no one was willing to make the camcorder look, uh lookable. DSP at least centered it.

Now as you should all know. He quickly stopped being the only one doing that. Things started to catch up. Capture cards got cheaper. Computers got better at recording AAA games that were more frequently coming to PC. And as you all know he got left behind. He had momentum. Having a fan base is a big deal in youtube. But then he gave himself his negative views by deleting shit. And that was it. He was behind, he stopped coasting on his momentum, and now he begs for money from the few dent heads that still support him.

Thats the actual legacy of DSP. I've always wanted to make that into a video, but that was always to autistic for me. So, if someone wants to use it go ahead. Dedicate it to Phil. It should really salt his pork.

There. Only because I'm autistic about internet history.

Hope so otherwise his SF streams will be hug boxes

Adapt, grow, and overcome. Phil's version is to bitch, decay, and beg. I watched a five year old child beat Bloodborne and some guy beat Sekiro with his fucking chin. A 90 year old guy beat Dark Souls. Someone beat Sekiro with the DK Bongos. Phil is a challenge averse pussy.

And the only way Phil will ever respond to that is with excuses. "I don't have time to get that good!"

What blows me away is how long he has been saying shit like that. How in the unholy fuck can you claim with a straight face for YEARS that anything you're not god at is only ever because you don't have time? When the thing you use to make money involves playing video games several hours a day? How hard it is to start the stream and start practicing various things, while shooting the shit with the paypigs? Even Phil should be able to do that.

The only thing he accomplishes by refusing to perform simple tasks, that everyone else does, is display that he's afraid to be seen failing at it. Which is just plain dumb, because it isn't the failure that has people laughing at Phil, it's that he never fucking learns, which is all his own damn fault. He could've killed TIHYDP years ago by applying himself, instead he chose to do it by being boring while still proving that he sucks and deserves for that series to haunt him forever.

I hope the opposite. I chimed in for a couple minutes and saw his 8 win streak, bragging about doing 360s for zangiefs grabs (miles easier on a pad by the way), and the lobbies emptying themselves. This guy is hunting for another lobby shortly after.

My wish is that no one wants to play with him and he spends the majority of the time trying to find people the whole stream that stick.

It all loops back to his narcissistic personality and how he refuses to own up to his mistakes. It's always the games fault, the hardware, the dumb as fuck developers, you name it.

Honestly one of the worst traits you can have as a person.

Not goji, but jose did and PP blocked him. I'm guessing this isn't something you can do on PS?

I guess blocking everyone better than you is one strategy to win.

 

[dankivy]

Glad I stuck around long enough for the start of the pahdcast to hear the usual uuuuhhh so I don't know what's wrong with you guys but NONE of you are talking in the stream chat.
