Phil, in his “infinite” wisdom, has decided to put his webcam in the top left, facing away from the screen. How long has he been streaming again? *sigh*
I love that he still has the same streaming setup and that it still makes zero sense. TV in one direction, laptop in the other, keyboard somewhere in the middle, PC on other side of the room.

What makes a 40-something year old man feel the need to identify with a video game character? I think that's normal for teenagers, but I don't think I've ever seen another adult do the whole "omfg he's literally meee" thing.
I don't think age is entirely relevant here; identifying with characters is part of what keeps us reading and interested in stories all our lives. In our 40's, though, we generally don't carry on how this character is "literally me." Maybe chat about it a bit with friends...damn, sorry about that, DSP.

What's fascinating is that this is only the second time relating to a character other than himself has happened to Phil. The first was the story of Job, which he completely misses the point of, naturally.

And that's why he's so emotionally invested; he's lost all sense of proportion -- I've never seen him so unhinged and truly angry in the past decade. His mind's been forced a step up on Bloom's Taxonomy for a moment, and he has no one to talk about it with other than his godfuckingawful stream chat. I'd feel sorry for him on that last account if it wasn't the situation he'd created himself.
 
Job didn't bitch when his wife, children and cattle were all taken from him in a blink of an eye. Dave bitches when his door dash is 10 minutes late.

Btw, after today I think we should officially add the homeless man costume to the DSP Hall of Fame. Hang it up in the rafters, right next to the black begging shirt. Iconic.

Stroke face going wild this whole rant aside, he really nailed the look of the homeless bum lounging in the alcohol section of the grocery store look. The whole style really fits DSP and I look forward to this future career path.
 
He had already started his rant, but to think that this comment set him off completely into a 5 minute angry manbaby rage is phenomenal.

I love how angry he was over the hes just like me fr thing because it was a meme, like he seemed genuinely annoyed someone would try and use a meme to describe something he does, peak boomer moment

He is legitimately one unappealing motherfucker. He fell right out of the top of the ugly gout tree and hit every branch on the way down to rock bottom.
 
I wish we got more Himmler rants like today. It's my favorite DSP "character"
View attachment 5672779
Seeing this clip just reminded me of his rant earlier today, “I was kicked out of the partnership program on Twitch for stuff I said and did years ago, stuff that I apologized for a long time ago.” Except when he did his BlipTV “last remaining Nazi” Himmler character, he said he listened to Howard Stern do it and, therefore, he thought it was okay. He says he knows better now, because Howard Stern was Jewish, and Stern could joke about that kind of stuff.

So, I ask my fellow “KeeweeFarm”-ers has Phil legitimately “apologized” for anything? I can’t think of a single time DSP has ever taken full accountability for anything. His apologies always amount to “other people did it, so I did it” or “it was these circumstances or situations that made me do X; or say X” He always says he apologized, he’s a different person, he says he’s matured, yet what we see now is the same Phil from 2011, 2012, 2015, from 2017, from 2020, from 2022.
 
I might have a recency bias, but I think this is the angriest and most triggered I've seen him since I started following DSP like 7 or 8 years ago. Holy shit. His rage and threats being so impotent made it so much funnier too. :story:
The only rant I can think of that rivals this one in the amount of "I'm angy!!" faces, babyman arm flailing and empty threats is the "HATEFUL... SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURS" rant. The big difference is that this one was triggered by such a minor thing. Don't think that this vidya game character is based on my life? GTAB
 
Yes Ichibana is lireally Phil. Just listen to this nugget


No self awareness. None. Or does he not count because it's his *cough* JOB?

Also, a very robust and meaningful day kahntribuitionswise. Just 65 $ in tips overall and already putting the wage quit out. How long until he runs back to SF 6 or BG 3?
 
Give me rainbows if you want, but I think we're rapidly approaching a confession stream. Dave's obviously under an enormous amount of stress (financially and probably otherwise), and I don't think it's possible for anyone (even the guy) to live in such naked denial for much longer. Everyone knows you're an addict, Phil; just admit it.
I dunno man.

The occasion for a teary confession was during the Sidescrollers interview.

If Phil had bared his soul, and with a breaking voice admitted to having spent 5-6 figures on JPEGs, complete with a “I don’t know why I’m doing it, there’s something broken in me!”, I think even detractors would have backed off and given him props for at least once being actually honest instead of hahnest.

But now? After countless more denials and blatant lies? I doubt it’d work. He’s in too deep in his own web of lies and I think he knows it.

Phil would rather take a severe financial hit, than a fatal blow to his ego.

The "Eyes of Hate" is a famous photograph of Philip Burnell on the White House lawn glaring at the camera with pure malice and disgust in his eyes seconds after being informed his photographer was Argentinian. Prior to this photograph, he was reportedly extremely friendly to the photographer, smiling and laughing in all previous photos.
Holy shit, I was just thinking of that when I saw the bottom right photo on Poems' tweet.
 
I felt like this deserved an extended cut, especially because of the banger line at the end about being positive and wanting to help people, and goddamn, the faces he makes.

"I lost the ability to branch out on the internet!"

No one told him to do a complete 180 on The Side Scrollers Podcast and drop out of the documentary. You had opportunities Phil, but you're too much of a pussy to see them through.

And this whole rant was just :story: I was at work when this went down and it sounded like a five year old ranting at his parents because they told him Santa Claus wasn't real. He doesn't understand that the reason people are laughing at him is because he's a 42 year old man who's so disconnected from reality that he has to compare himself to video game characters just to garner sympathy. These are nothing but empty threats and scat fetishes, Phil. Next time, don't stream your rants during your time of the month.

That fan was right. That was insanely cringe.

Yep, technically he has apologized many times. Not nearly enough but a lot. But its always in a blatantly transactional manner. As a shield.
