DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[The One And Only SALTE]

Of course.
He wasted roughly seven hours, and died about one hundred times. The only thing he achieved was waste his and his viewers time.
The game gave him a dented Malenia so he could finally stomp her and fuck off. I swear the game felt sorry for him.

This is nothing new. Most people honestly expected him to pull out the "break-magically know what yo do" shit earlier.

The problem is not him cheesing the boss. It's a Fromsoft game, coming up with cheese strats is baked into it. The problem is that he pretends that everything is legit when it clearly and obviously is not. If he admits to looking up guides I'd have more respect for him.

Edit: Going by Steam Achievents, 41.12% of players have beat Malenia. So it's really not that rare, special or hard.

Or they just summon Let Me Solo Her since he's a PC player.

 

[ZehnBoat]

because he believes his need to use a guide is the failure of the game not being clear/good enough, not a failure of him to understand the game.

nah, i don't mean help with bosses
i mean finding stuff
when he just randomly goes off in a random direction and just happens to stumble on something OP and he gloats about it

he needs to know everything about a game so he can look good and flex on camera

 

[actually]

he needs to know everything about a game so he can look good and flex on camera

Except he doesn't actually know everything, so as soon as he hits any minor thing the guide didn't cover, it's immediately apparent as he flails and fails repeatedly.

 

[Q_Anon1001]

To be honest, it's so obvious he's viewbotting it's kinda like the WWEC thing. We may only have some 20 odd smoking guns in that regard, but logic should have done the trick in the first place. His chat is dead and has been since his last few days on Twitch. Twitch was just a detractor fest, in fact. YT chat is glacial. He wants to have 500 members and 200 likes per stream, and he needs to give the illusion that his community is somehow big enough to support that, even though it's just 40 guys tops. He's also been puffing his chest an awful lot about how he's "One of YT's top streamers" and "Usually in the first page". He couldn't reel new whales if he just admitted how irrelevant he's become. On the other hand, he can not get an audience unless he's playing fighting games and losing, and he stalls the fuck out of everything nowadays. People just wouldn't watch him.

He always bitches at youtube because they constantly cuck his revenue stream and make things transparent. He could have possibly kept up the illusion that he had 400 members, but the moment it dropped youtube took away the emoji slot. I'm sure that he's going to re-apply "behind the scenes" wait to see how it goes, then over react to something on youtube and switch back to twitch claiming his hands were forced.

Fucking @Piece of Peace out here doing Big Bang Theory stream science.

Theorizing about Phil's use of bots with graphs and shit.

Edit: And while I don't have it recorded; I watch the numbers go back up. It dropped to 86, went to 82, then went back to 86 before dropping again. And random thought, it may only record anyone who might type in chat when disconnected/buffering. Chance that YouTube won't count viewers if there's no chats coming in from them. May only count chat for a certain number of seconds too; so even if people talk, it'll drop if you don't keep going.

that's not his fault dood
if only past phil read a little more, if only the gin didn't lag his inputs

it is funny when he suddenly has to improvise and it's so apparent

 

[Jasper2K]

This Dsp bot shit will definitely be a mystery for the ages. But remember its piss easy to "buy" bots. No idea how it would work on youtube my experience is only with twitch. Dsp having the intelligence to bot himself would be a nice twist.

 

[Michael Janke]

I wonder if Phil will sperg about the abortion thing.
"Kat was pleading and crying on my shoulder."
or maybe he'll say something retarded like my save got corrupted, this is just as bad as abortion being banned.

DSP from 2009-~2016 showcases his actual gaming ability, before he decided he was going to either read a million guides or take everything at a wheelchair pace.

What I'd be interested in knowing is, exactly how frequently does he read guides? Is it some autistic ritual he performs every day before streaming?

 

[Misao Hyper]

I learned of the abortion stuff from a DSP thread. What is my life. Anyways I am so happy for Elden Ring to be from what I can tell close to done with. I have never cared about the game at all, did not even know about it until it was everywhere. Phil has seemingly dragged the game out longer then everyone else. I want to never hear about it again.

 

[MoonRocker]

Three days. Three days to beat a boss that the game’s overall structure was designed to prepare you for by having you invest close to 100 hours in your character and all the various gameplay mechanics by the time you got to her. However, I don’t believe the developers imagined that some people would simply play this game by abusing what I personally believe is a completely busted and overtuned attack. I personally didn’t use jump + R2 that frequently in either of my playthroughs. I think that R1 attacks with a mix of R2 attacks are completely fine. Jump + R2 is just the scrubby way of getting though this game.

This ape’s brain cannot comprehend anything beyond abusing game mechanics to get by through its challenges as quickly as he can. Phil’s Elden Ring playthrough is arguably one of the worst on YT right now. Complete dogshit gameplay abusing the game’s most busted mechanic while underutilizing or simply not utilizing WAs, spells, weapon statuses, or the myriad other game mechanics that the game throws at you to create a varied experience. Leave it to Phil to facetank everything and spam an overtuned attack that breaks enemies stances way too fucking easily.

I didn’t watch the actual kill but apparently it’s a repeat of the Guardian Ape fight where the pig magically figured out over his break that the Blasphemous Blade’s L2 attack staggers Melania and he also decided to use the Estus shard that gives you infinite mana? Are you fucking kidding me? The dude who barely, ever used his extra Psykik Flask? Never fired a fucking spell besides the Lightning Bolt early in his play through? Who didn’t put one fucking point in MND? And all of a sudden had the genius idea to use an infinite WA via the Wondrous Psykik mana cheat shard? Shameless as usual. Never change piggy.

We got three streams filled with bitching and complaining where we saw a salty piggy getting frustrated by the game’s boss mechanics, being incredibly toxic towards his chat, and also frustrated by watching a relatively high viewer count (relative to Phil’s streams) not having the Tips Goal amounts reflect that viewership increase. So, a perfect and rare showing of seeing the pig sweating, annoyed, angry, and his ego being hurt which happens too infrequently as of late.

 

[Fartsyde Dill]

re botting: is it even possible to buy just a couple hundred of fake viewers? I would have thought they would be sold in larger batches than that.

 

[We Are The Witches]

He is too lazy to set up bots religiously every day and too cheap to pay for them. If he's the one doing it, it must be a couple of clicks away, and by a script made by someone he trusts.
He can't even set up something to differentiate the fake Derichs from the real one, he barely knows how to do anything in his own website.

But at this point I'd bet on someone else doing this (now with an added incentive since it'll get attention), or due to Youtube's unpredictable and wonky behaviour.

Anyway, this will be with no doubt reported to him, to which his response will be "lol what the hell is Python".

I'm all for breaking games and what not, but what he did was very anticlimactic.

Your build consist of frost and bleed with pokes but you still know how to dodge and use much more of the games mechanics? Fine, knock yourself out. You just naturally had this build.

What he did was just get spoonfed Unga Bunga from day 1. Hey DSP get this Golden Halberd. Hey DSP Jump attack is the best move just use that. DSP this weapons good get this get that powerstance em. Boom 100 hours later here we are.

Malenia fight? Its a boss right? Unga Bunga Jump R2. That didn't work switch to other build that has magic stats but continue jump R2. One day later nothing changes time to take a break. Nigga comes back and does a 180 on his playstyle and use a physick you never used so you can cheese it with a weapon art when she's stuck in a corner and never used any of her good attacks.

It lacked grace. It was a cop-out for him. He didn't learn anything after 100 hours. That fight proved to me that his way of playing the game doesn't work 100% of the time and he hasn't mastered shit and lacks understanding. He essentially cheated himself through the whole game(lol I know being dramatic here).

He'll most likely see it on his twitter frontpage but won't even register or talk about it on stream because it's something that will never affect him.

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

$24 for the late stream? That doesn't sound like a recipe for a productive day off.

Well well well.... What is this and how'd you get it? Did wings leak it? I kinda respect wings talking like a human versus Phil attempting to cast pignosis on him. In any case, interesting to see Phil talked to him way ahead of time and acting like a needy gf who wants his approval. What a little bitch.

He wouldn't spend the money on bots

Regarding the viewbot thing, all the evidence against Phil using viewbots stems from people attempting to predict his behaviour. Not a hard thing to do, but consider how Phil is a lot more shrewd than most people give him credit. As stupid as he is, I do believe that he is willing to invest whatever the price of viewbots is in order to keep his corpse of a Youtube channel afloat.
As for evidence in favor of Phil using bots, things get a bit more solid: big number of views but there's only 20 people talking in chat, Phil has a few internet issues lately, and when he does his views numbers drop like crazy. When it comes to his numbers on Youtube, there is OBVIOUS foul play involved. The man doesn't have nearly 200K active subs. Hell, he probably barely has 20K. 400 members? More like 400-ish socks. I could keep going. Inflated likes, nonsensical comments, etcetera. Wether or not it is Phil using the viewbots and being the one behind it all is a bit of a 50/50 but I lean more into believing he did do it.

Part of Wings' conversations with Phil. Some guy asked Wings to show it during his stream and so he did.
