DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Piece of Peace]

This should hopefully drive home what his remaining support base looks like in current year:

Still $125. It's irrelevant where it comes from to Phil, as evidenced by the 'homeless guy' donating and the ongoing acceptance of funds from wheelchairs.

It's all about the bottom line.

Friendly reminder that "Anonymous" is not actually anonymous. It's just a name the whale decided to use. Phil can see the e-mail from said whale, so he knows exactly who this person is, especially because Phil does not accept tips from unknown people.

DSP accepts tips from unknown people anytime he can get them

"On a daily basis I have probably about a thousand unique viewers on my stream no exaggeration."
Does anyone know where Phil is pulling this number from? Every time I check he is between 200-500 viewers I've only seen him get 1,000 when he was milking Wings for views and fighting Malenia.

He is using the 'impressions' number like he does with twitter.

Here's numbers from a video of mine the last 7 days:

Maybe I am retarded but he says he doesn't have advertisements..................

What the FUCK is sitting behind him?

I wonder what happened to SilentBahb, he used to swing by and support for $37 on the regular.

There is a "semi effective" way to look manually through all comments instead of clicking on videos randomly, but there's a couple of issues with that.

Which superthanks are you referring to? Would help to determine if that method is effective or not. Do you have a link / screenshot to the comment?

If it's good enough, it can be a way to do things until YT adds superthanks to the API.

Moira, did you get banned from TKOH, what are you doing here all the time?

 

[Johnny Doxville]

Did anyone get the automation down to find super thanks on his videos? Just scrolling though the videos since he got super thanks, he only got $2 over a full week. No clue if there are others floating around on older videos.

This is a moderate undertaking, primarily due to the sheer volume of videos available which will cause a shitfit because of the volume of requests made. No promises but I've got a spare Google account with API access to have a look.

If I get bored over the weekend I'll try and get the ball rolling

It's him showing he's a relatable human being and a true gaymer girl, a STOOPIT person wouldn't know the difference between that and shilling a product, ack, ack, ack

 

[Iron Father]

Everything about how he incentivizes support is so ass backwards.

Attention. Moria loves an audience.

Before the farms Moria would pop in to TXT. and other Twitter detractor profiles to wax poetic about burden of proof whilst ignoring Phil being a blatant asshole.

In DSP's retarded little circle, Moria is the most desperate for validation.

 

[BPD Gunt Rider]

It makes perfect sense on Phil's channel where you always pay and get nothing except shorter streams.

I'm curious about the way you'd automate superthanks searching with the current API.

Are you planning to use (once the comments are retrieved) an automation tool to go to the actual comment URL and check if it has the superthanks div? Or something else?
I guess I'll see.

 

[Guess i'm toxic now!]

This is why he harps on about "it's not about the reward it's about supporting me."

Except he forgets the part where people only give money without expecting a reward when it's a "friend" or "family" member. He's failed the part of the "friend" when it comes to new viewers, whether that be from abandoning Rambo, or refusing to play with his "members-friends."

So why exactly would people fund his comfy lifestyle if they are getting jack shit from it? Well because apparently Phil's goat laughing, bitching at the game, and describing what is in front of his snout is somehow worth $45 an hour.

The only reason he is able to continue spending shit tons of money is because he successfully convinced a bunch of desperate men, that he was their friend, and that he in any way gave a shit about them as a person.

Again, a sucker is born every day, and Phil exists to take advantage of all the suckers.

I don't upload videos, but is it difficult to get them in the right order? No way he's plastered already.

 

[The One And Only SALTE]

It depended on the game but yes on average $30-40.

Spoiler: I'm old and remember...

shelling out like $50 to $60 for Zelda 2 because the only place around me that had it was a videostore I had a too young for working papers after school job at. They marked it up but also at that time nintendo got caught doing some price fixing shenanigans. Well my dad helped buy it, but still.

I mean they still pull that short supply to create demand crap but back then they were using that as a threat to make retailers sell the NES at a price set by nintendo.

SNES games were around $40-45 iirc except games like FF6 and Chrono Trigger, I paid I think it was $70 for Chrono Trigger from funcoland. Like I said, I'm old

I wasn't old enough to buy games back in those times but I thought around the N64 and SNES era, they were standardized at 50/each with some games being ridiculous like Earthbound being 80 or some shit. The only time games varied wildly in price was during the Atari days or early PC gaming days where people set their own prices rather than having an MSRP to follow.

What the FUCK is sitting behind him?

Phil's limited knowledge and infinite laziness has taught him that he shouldn't have a boring background and needs some decoration to have something visually interesting. For most streamers this involves posters, some neon lights, maybe shelves full of figures and the like. For instance:


Now, I might be doing a disservice to Max here since I think he's a really good content creator by comparing him to good old Philly boy, but look at that background. He's got a ton of posters, display cases and shelves to show off all his stuff. It makes for an interesting backdrop and chances are Max himself likes decorating his office with all of the merchandise he owns; more power to him. I do the same thing, even though nobody but me sees my home office full of shit. What does Phil have? A couple broken statues he claims to not own in his bankruptcy filing and some old console boxes he refuses to get rid of for some reason. So he just threw that shit behind him because that's all he got. So in order to appear more relatable and like a big boy content creator, he poorly imitates things that the actual career streamers do.

That upload shit...well, that's just how he works. He babysits the renders of his videos like a fucking hawk and has them go live as soon as they're ready. It really isn't that difficult to scatter the uploads with timed live dates and add them to a playlist later, but he just does the playlist thing and leaves them in his recent upload page in whatever order they hit it.

I'm a bit triggered by Phil talking about Furi today. Here's his mini recap of the game, slightly paraphrased for brevity: "Furi has an interesting concept. You're a warrior and you're going through these different stages. And it's very challenging, you have to figure out how to make progress in each stage. The game has unique gameplay mechanics that you need to learn and adapt to use on each stage to get through challanges. And in the end there's a big epic boss fight at the end of each stage and each one is pretty unique and different."

Literally everything Phil said is completely wrong. He clearly thought he could just bullshit a bunch of common game tropes because he doesn't remember the game at all. Furi doesn't have "stages with unique gameplay mechanics." There are boss fights, and in between are sections where you walk to the next boss fight while you get some story. That's it. There are no "unique gameplay mechanics you need to learn." Furi doesn't have a leveling, ability, or unlock system of any kind, you start the game with all the moves and they stay the same right up to the final boss. The only thing Phil accurately remembered about the game is that he rage quit it.

Good chance he still does that stupid ass shit of opening a new tab for each video to be uploaded instead of making a single queue. So if the tab with Part 3 finishes before 2, it shows up first.

Phil tends to describe every game like this and his favorite buzzwords tend to be "unique" and "interesting" when he can't actually describe what the fuck he's talking about.
Fuck, even a cursory glance at Fury will tell you it's a boss rush game and each boss has multiple phases that are either melee duels or bullet hell sections. It's not that difficult to discuss, but he more than likely forgot all about that shit and confused it with the thousand and one other top-down games.
