DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Sicilian1984]

I feel bad that detractors have to sit through DSP's boring ass playthroughs. Why does anyone donate? It isn't even slightly entertaining.

DSP makes far too much. I wish his trolls were more aggressive like Richard's. He deserves everything taken from him. Just a mean, nasty, scammer.

It's clear from his faked concern he is just virtue signaling and behind 99% of the take downs doing it through some autistic dents.

 

[Chernabog3000]

Don't let Phil fool you. He gives 0 shits about going on vacation. Or a honey moon.

A real good example of this is Disneyland. He makes it out to be some extravagant quest but him and khet could make the drive in a day. It's practically a straight shot from his front door to Disneyland. Two adults could make that trip in a day. If they wanted to.

It cost about 1000 dollars for 2 adults to spend a day at Disneyland. This includes food, drink, and parking. It'd cost them at most 2 grand to have a Disney day. Flying or driving the price dosent change much given their location. If it was something they truly wanted. They'd have done it by now. But they haven't. He's made close to 1000$ in tips this week. They don't give a shit to go anywhere.



None of that shit really matters though. Pre bankruptcy. If traveling was something he was interested in, he would have been going on vactions/trips via credit. Charging it like he did every other frivolous thing he didn't need.

Pandalee may wanted to go places.

But Phil and khet have no urge to leave the fort.

I took a break from Dave for a bit after the interview saga. I genuinely felt it as some sort of closure. Everyone saw this man for what he is... a liar. It was incredibly satisfying to see, especially witnessing all the simp faggots in chat slowly realize throughout that "damn this pigga is really lying about fucking everything".

I can't lie though, I definitely have been keeping tabs on him. It's hard to not look at a car crash I guess.

Tevin hasn't been the same since the false accusations at his LSU job back in 2018 (if it was before your time as a tractor, some woman accused him of putting bleach or some toxic cleaning agent into her drink). The day it happened, he did an evening stream to talk about it (privated, and I suspect it will always be), and was fairly calm as he fully detailed the day's bullshit.

I can't even speculate on what happened in the next 24 hours, but the next night he came on a changed man. He spoke as if he'd been betrayed by someone. "You can't trust anybody online, don't call yourself my friends, you're not my fucking friends." Ranted to that effect for several hours. And since then he's really seemed more detached and at times contemptuous of his audience, though never a meltdown like that first one.

Very interesting stuff. Tevin is what made me invested in Dave to begin with. No one has been able to encapsulate how weird this guy is other than tervin. I also think it helps that you can't find two more opposed humans.

On one hand you have Dave, a spoiled, white, only child from Connecticut.

On the other you have Tevin. And I'm definitely not like a simp for black people but I can say as a HUHWITE man that I do not envy the life Tevin had. Growing up in one of the murder capitals of the US, living in the actual hood, stealing electricity from your neighbors, living in absolute shitholes full of cockroaches and rats. Having to deal with the unfortunate fact that a lot of your friends you knew growing up would not make it into their 20's (usually from their own doings, because of their involvement in gangs, still unfortunate and something I couldn't even imagine).

All of this is what I think makes Tevin the perfect person to make fun of DSP. Because Dave does not know any struggle. At all. And this dynamic is why I think Tevin is and will always be the perfect detractor.

But it's interesting to hear this (I did not know this specific lore). You can kind of see it tho. I've always found it odd that every big detractor has been on That Being Said at this point. Hell even big YouTubers like ItsAGundam have been on. But Tevin has not. And they've definitely made references before about asking him to come (he's obviously the most requested person that hasn't been on, and ALT and others know this).

I wonder if these feelings have anything to do with this... You can definitely tell he felt some resentment about the detractor community when he was attempting to separate himself. Whenever he would be asked about Dave during those dark days when he was just being a twitch streamer, he would get genuinely mad about it. I guess I can understand a bit; you want to be your own person and don't want to appear like you rely on some weird faggot online to make your content. But there's a reason people are asking,,,, because you're fucking good at it man.

There's a reason why people got really annoyed about Michael Jordan leaving basketball to play baseball. Like, I get it, you want to make your dad proud or whatever, but bro, you're a fucking basketball player. Tevin, you're a detractor. Imo you're the goat detractor. Stick with that buddy.


Overall I think it's incredibly refreshing to see Tevin back into the mix, doing what he's best at which is making fun of Dave. But I can definitely tell that he wants to keep the detractors and it's community at a bit of an arms length. I don't care tbh as long as he keeps making fun of this guy, because imo he is and always will be the best at it.

 

[PenskeMaterial]

I think after the whole Sons of Kojima debacle he's staying away from detractor groups.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

(I don't know how true that actually is, dump some Yakuza lore on me, it's also a technically a different character, but not going to go to deep into this when it doesn't really matter. Perhaps the developers actually put in a slight effort to separate the characters in this spin off game)

If the immachoor side stories are canon then yeah, he was in a relationship with pretty much every hostess from the hostess club minigames since the first game. When it comes to story romances fake fan Phail doesn't know about either Yumi from 1 or Kaoru from 2 or that yakuza boss' daughter from 5.
And yeah, Ryoma and Kiryu are supposed to be distinct characters, for one Ryoma just goes around murdering people and Kiryu never killed anyone. When it comes to romance, Kiryu isn't an autist who doesn't get love, it's shown many times in the series that he's a gentleman who has no trouble with the ladies, it's just that after he lost Yumi he doesn't want to get romantically involved anymore (which then got retconned when he was hot for the lady cop Kaoru and then they promised that they would wait for each other until Kaoru returns from the US in the very beginning of 3, but then she just kinda sorta was forgotten and never returned in the series). Ryoma is an autist when it comes to romance because he's from a backwater shithole in Shikoku and when he comes to Edo it's his first time in the big city. The same goes for the earlier samurai game Kenzan, where Kiryu is Miyamoto Musashi. The only things Kiryu and Musashi have in common is their heroic personality and their likenesses. Does Phail even know that the vast majority of the characters in Ishin are loosely based on historical persons and that Ishin is historical fiction?

For what its worth, you are starting to see some detractor music from Meerkat that has Tevin in them. Whether they're approved collaborations I don't know.

 

[King of Hateful Slurs]

Seems like Mr. Views is caring a lot more about viewer numbers lately. He stalls out every night stream not starting gameplay until he has at least 200 viewers and if he dips under 200 he gets really mad until the number goes back up.

 

[Japs_eye]

Tbf, the difference in maturity between the sons of autism and tbs is HUGE.

You remember when @Shirō Ishii doxed that dent-tractor a few weeks back? The guy who sperged about muh politics and the alt right (which literally doesn't exist btw) because he was being laughed at?

Can you imagine if the spergs at SOK were the people to handle that? It'd be massive shit show. Instead the tbs guys just banned the guy and never talked about. Which is the appropriate way to handle it.

And it's not like TBS doesn't have libtards on the show (Steve and Kat are pretty fucked politically iirc), but they handled it like adults and not retards like sok would have

I hope Tevin reconsiders. For me, he's always been the dream guest for TBS. He's the ultimate lore master along with being very funny. I hope one day he will hop on .

Maybe people are realizing that DSP is a boring fuck, his stupid rants are annoying not funny, and his struggling to play games poorly has met the end of the road. It's notable that he is blaming the viewers not sticking around for his terrible streams.

He's done nothing wrong. He did everything correct.

 

[Mighty Pigmask]

Speaking of Tevin, keep in mind that 90% of detractor chats are full of faggots sitting there asking for their biases to be validated and calling you a DSP the moment you disagree with something, so I don't blame him for getting pissed off every once in a while.

 

[Meerkat Ink]

he never responded to the invite

they're not approved

Kat are pretty fucked politically iirc

don't know where you got that from

I hope Tevin reconsiders. For me, he's always been the dream guest for TBS. He's the ultimate lore master along with being very funny. I hope one day he will hop on .

I tried to ask him to come on, he never responded to the invite. I assumed that's a polite no, so I stopped trying. Same with GTG.

"The most action-packed part of the game and people are leaving" Phil. This should fucking tell you something. From my personal experience when I stream video games and I am in a boss fight viewers stick around. But then they often leave because truth be told I am boring as fuck to watch (except I am playing a horror game like Alien Isolation which is more suspense) If viewers leave during ACTIoN Sequences" that should tell you something

@We Are The Witches
Do you use Playboard to see what videos are privated or deleted?
Apparently he has deleted a lot of stuff of his DSP reacts channel.

I wonder if they have just been put on membership, and if that affects the view count.

 

[myone]

The trick here is that viewer "support and engagement" is pretty much random for DSP. None of his fans watch him for their gameplay, it's more a kind of obligation. He always tries to divine some kind of meaning out of days when support is low or high, but it's just the kind of scatter distribution you'd expect out of low population of whales and random avaiability & interest.

 

[PetiteDragon43]

Something that was touched upon recently is that Phil essentially lets the audience run his "buisiness". What is the appeal of going to him for gameplay when all he does is wall 10 feet and then glare at the chat for more instructions? And then he has the gall to say "if you don't like it go play the game yourself!"
uhhh what does he think is happening? The audience choosea everything from the clothes, to the schedule, to the content, to the fucking food he eats. And HE reaps all the reward$. How could he convince anyone, let alone himself that he runs a proper buisiness?

 

[Free Jasper]

Not sure why people would think a group making a Phil action figure is a retard-free zone.

 

[Surly Muppet]

Those tips came through StreamElements though, no? Not sure how much info Dave could see there, but certainly less than Paypal.

They were, but through however it was setup, he could see their Paypal info. He was specifically asking for people to make verified accounts since he could either see more detailed info if they did, and/or because it was harder to use a stolen credit card through a verified account.

He's trying to obfuscate how much he sees in the info of the PayPal tipps, because lots of his fans became unruly when "rumors" where floating around that you'd dox yourself by tipping directly through PP (true). Therefore now he announces every tip that doesn't contain a (user) name in the tip message as "anonymous". They aren't really, he's just appeasing the dents.

Also a good point, though all these people tipping anonymously are fully aware that he can see who they are. Phil has slipped a few times and said who it was before realizing it was supposed to be anonymous because they told him at the end of the message not to say their name. That said, it could be to try to swindle new tippers into feeling secure... but there aren't many of those at this point.

This "Hobos and Dogs" segment is autism in the extreme. He started singing, complete with little snaps, it and it sounded nothing like the actual song that he has played for years, verifying that Phil thinks he's good at singing, but is actually so bad he can't even replicate something he sung before and hears every day. The snaps are not even keeping time they seem to be just... random snaps.

He is complaining that the guy who made the original track just said he needed to be given credit and then you could use his song. Phil says his fan credited the guy, and so he can use the song.
But Phil didn't credit him. The song is not on Phil's channel, he's using it, and he didn't credit the original owner on every stream. He has no leg to stand on even in his own explanation. He has no concept of copyright and is just trying to flex legalities on everyone he can.

Incidentally, in Phil's supposed (wrong) explanation of the law, his streams are entirely up for grabs. He says his streams are free, and according to Phil, if you say it's free, the content can be used freely. So you can upload copies of his streams then. See how retarded your takes are, Phil?

But the best line of all. "I did some more research on this... listen to this... so a viewer did some research and emailed me..."
Okay, so you didn't do any research then. One of your sycophants did it for you and you just about took credit for it.

EDIT: Someone says "Crisis Core is collecting dust" because Phil is clearly avoiding playing it.
Phil mocks them saying it's sitting in the closet and he can see it collecting dust right now.
You were given that by a fan, asshole. But I'm sure they're jacking off that you're withholding the game they gave you for free to play, so you're probably right to mock them.

EDIT 2: Uh-oh. He realized what he did and is now walking it back, saying he can play Crisis Core when people ask for it.

Shit, taking advantage of the Costco travel discount thingie, they could get a 3 day ticket admission for a little over a thousand bucks. Including hotel. Just make the mare drive and they've got a nice little 3-4 day get away. Plus, a bunch of khantent for when they get back which would be sure to get views and tips. I priced the room at a decent resort, a room with two beds (ha). He could even do a quick daily recap video of each park day and kill it with tips and shit.



These two ass-clowns also could just take a cruise. They're close enough to Vancouver, they could find some discounts (found some decent ones through Costco again...) and spend a couple of nights in a boat. Phil can show off his awesome swimming skills. Then again... You can lead a horse to water....

Either way. He just wants to beg in his hermit cave into perpetuity.

Yes, answered you in the other thread in detail. Basically, some Hate Live episodes were privated, so it could be that.
