DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Stephen Hawking]

Fun Fact, DSP went to Heroes Grave outside the Capital City. He said "I'm not doing that" and left.
Now why is it that this is the FIRST optional area he avoided after entering.

BECAUSE THE BOSS IS TWO CRUCIBLE KNIGHTS.

The guy is such a pussy and he saw that this boss is slightly tougher and ran like a bitch. He is level 111 and avoiding conflict of any kind. It's just the worst.

He is Level 111 and he just reached Leyndell Capital? Holy fuck, he’s insanely overleveled.

If he didn’t present himself as this top tier FromSoft veteran, nobody would give a fuck about all the cheese, obvious requested handholding, and BTS guides reading plaguing this awful play through.

In typical Phil fashion, he still has a third of the game left when most would have either beat the game, are on their second play through or have simply moved on to playing something else.

I have some feedback for the CIA and their torture methodology: instead of blasting metal music 24/7 in a cold, well-lit room, just force detainees to watch DSP’s Elden Ring playthrough completely raw on a 24/7 basis. That’ll break prople real quick.

You're the best, thanks dude. So knowing that he started the "no break after prestream" thing on 11/20/21, here's a very very basic analysis of how this has gone:

For the month prior to 11/20/21 (10/20 to 11/19, not including any special events), gameplay started on AVERAGE at 12:32 pm.
- Note: Start of gameplay is defined as when he first boots up the game from the Xbox/PS5 main menu (unless for whatever reason he immediately gets interrupted and leaves his chair, in which case the start time would be whenever he gets back).

For the month AFTER (11/20 to 12/19), gameplay started on AVERAGE at 12:26 pm (6 minutes earlier gameplay start compared to prior).

Now, for the most recent month (03/03 to 04/02) gameplay started on AVERAGE at 12:37 pm, an INCREASE of 5 minutes from PRIOR to the initial start date of this "change".

This can all be audited on the spreadsheet by the way. This dude sucks at everything lmao

Remember too when he demanded his streams start an hour later so he could get more time to butter his bagel and the like with the promise of shorter prestream?

Back in the day it was rare that gameplay would start after noon let alone 11:30am.

Even overleveled he still has issues fighting bosses because of his terrible reaction times and button mashing that stupid jump attack. Phil is so paranoid at this becoming his original Dark Souls run all over again he will do anything to avoid it.

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

Tree sentinels and crucible knights got him so shooked up, even 100 levels later he doesn't want to take any risks.

He's 111 in the capital? That's barely halfway through the game. I'm 140 in NG+ what the fuck

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

I don't rememeber why he disliked B3

So. Regarding his tax rant.

In true fashion he makes shit seem much more complicated than it is.

Youtube pays our monthly from all sources lumped together: this includes AdSense, Superchats, and Memberships. It's itemized in one form. On the 1099C, it also shows this. The only amount to be concerned with is the gross total. Amazon does the same thing with Twitch payouts, but even simpler. Paypal...same thing. All these forms are ordered by request.

Now as far as expenses: anything Phil purchases for the business can be considered a write off, including his utilities. If he was fuckin' smart, he would have one single business account for all the possible expenses of games, equipment, shitty decorations, website fees, whatever. It doesn't take that long to consolidate a list when you've been doing so anyway.

The only thing I would find difficult is if all his business purchases were made with his personal account, at which point he'd either have to justify the mobile games purchases or pick them out.

The first thing you get when you search darksydephil or Phil Burnell on youtube is the DTRH video. Him deciding to do it is all a scam so he can try and get his "debunking" to come up underneath it, or in the recommendations, he's just putting it behind a pay(pig)wall because the grift never ends. As we're all aware, the guy has become obsessed with the algorithm in the last few months and this is just the next logical step.

In addition to getting his dentheads to boost his channel through interactions and likes, he's now getting them to pay him to make videos so he can play the alogrithm. I guarantee this is his first attempt of making "drama" khantent to see if he can start controlling the narrative himself.

Also, and sorry people if you really have disability but dsp DOES LOOK LIKE A RETARD!

Don’t be, actual are the ones who are sorry for Phil.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Now as far as expenses: anything Phil purchases for the business can be considered a write off, including his utilities.

He can only write off a percentage of utilities/condo as they are not all for the business. But again, this would be easily calculated based on past years and by the tax person he is paying

 

[King of Hateful Slurs]

Remember Phil never uses guides

 

[Grimlock]

DSP took off tonight to watch Wrestlemania

 

[YokuNamaTwo]

DSP took off tonight to watch Wrestlemania

If that's true then that's pretty sad. Take a night off for Wrestlemania but will never take a night off for Kat.

he is easy to miss, you have to kill a zombie to spawn him but guide or not once he gets to mt of giants and beyond he's going to HATE this game, it kinda hits a wall in both pacing, environments and enemy variety also yay bullet spounges. I got bored and took a break he's going to hate it so much.

He just gonna skip the enemies on horseback when he gets to the snowy part. Watch.

So, do you guys think that Phil will go the the Haligtree to face Malenia? I can't see him beating her with less than 50 tries, even with summons. It'd be fun to watch it, but he's probably afraid of not being able to cheese her.

you're sort of correct, if he makes a "reacting to down the rabbit hole" vid it'll show up in recommended after people watch the original vid, and from there, correct me if i'm wrong but the algorithm will see "oh, people watch this dpsgaming guy after they watch fredrick knudsen, so let's recommend it more often"

just realized i did the oh thing, i swear i meant it normal and not "OH!"

I struggled with her on playthrough 1 (greatsword strength build).

On playthrough 2 I did bleed katanas and she was trivial at best. Bleed OP.

I wouldn't be surprised if he swaps builds to something Cheesier like rivers of blood or moonveil.

 

[Jasper2K]

Been over a month since launch he's only just getting to the capital? He can probably drag the capital area out another few streams before fighting morgott. Also Nice to see him spamming jump attacks on easy enemies. Lets see how well it works out for you post morgott you swine.
