Phil’s delusional prattle about how he needs to “protect” the chat from Drama is the weirdest Opposite Day nonsense in the snortex.

As if his chat isn’t 200 ironic fans who only come because they want to see drama/spergouts plus Derich.
Some of the whales that fund Phil's addictions do hate the drams, though. Those are the only people that matter.

Anyone got to link to DSP's latest suggestion box thread? Don't want to dig through his bottomless pit that is his community posts.
 
Linger longer.

Jk welcome to the vortex. If you want a good loredump, watch Turkey Tom's DSP videos. They're good for a surface level overview of DSP autism.

I also HIGHLY recommend watching the Sidescroller's podcast with DSP on it afterwards. Literal goldmine of failed pignosis.



Does he really think that anyone buys this cope of his about "his family" when he just has a cat-son and a loveless marriage with a fat, autistic horse that he's too afraid to even touch?

So I got through the Turkey Tom stuff and...let me compose myself...what the fuck did I just walk into ?

Maybe I'm giving humanity too much credit, but how the fuck does someone like DSP even have paypigs to begin with ?

He's not a hot chick or a titty streamer. He's not entertaining as a content creator in terms of being witty or funny like Metokur. He's not skilled at gaming (I'm thinking of Dark Souls streamers who do no damage speedruns).

So what gives ? What exactly do the paypigs get out of watching this shit ?

Also, what's the lore on his marriage ? It seems as though his wife is sticking with him and I gather that she works, so that's more income to supplement DSP's "work". Is this woman a literal retard like Mama JF ?

Welp the short answer is the man with one eye is the king of the blind what does that mean? He's slightly less retarded than his unironic fans who are affectionately known as dents or wheelchairs simply put the bulls share are a combination of retards, gimps, feebs, incels, sexpests, furfags and NEETS and Daves chat is sort of like a big special needs daycare where it's probably their only outlet to the world where they get the slightest modicum of attention regardless of the abuse they receive for letting poor dear leader go a whole two hours without ANY........ANY "support".

To keep it short, retards see a fellow retard in DSP. A fellow tard that was once big on youtube. They live vicariously through him and try their best to keep the sinking ship afloat because if DSP fails then what hope is there?

Is this woman a literal retard like Mama JF ?

Basically yeah. Would be insanely cool if Phil pulled a JF but he's too much of a pussy.

You fail to recognize how lonely people in this world are, and how much they are willing to spend to try and alleviate that pain. His supporters generally like seeing him rage at a game; recently, Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, Baldur's Gate 3; where he was boohoo whining and crying most of the time. The marriage is one of convenience because he has literally nothing else besides a toyota camry and a tekken 3 trophy from decades ago... and a decade of failure?

I think there's a few different types of paypigs, but it essentially boils down to them being different types of pathetic. I think some of them like to LARP as heroes, pretending they're supporting Phil the underdog and owning the detractors by donating to Phil. There's less of these around than the earlier Phil days.

Then there's the people who don't really care that much about Phil, but are desperate for any sort of community interaction. They donate because it lets them exist for longer without being banned and gives them the faintest bit of power in his chat. Again, this is kind of a dying breed, ironically because I think a lot of them ultimately ended up getting banned because their money only buys so much ban evasion.

There's the ironic/drama fans. They're similar to the first group but instead of living their fantasies of owning their bullies through Phil, they're mostly there to see Phil say stupid stuff. They tend to tip the bare minimum, but it still adds up.

I think these days, the bulk of support comes from the dents. Some of them are literally retarded, like...actual diagnosed mental conditions and unable to function without adult supervision. Others are figuratively retarded, possibly with undiagnosed mental conditions and, while legally are able to function without adult supervision, would benefit from having it. This group is more or less what you'd expect from sad, parasocial viewers. They mostly tune in because DSP has a fairly reliable schedule. It's sorta like the equivalent of someone in a nursing home zoned out in front of the TV watching CSI marathons or whatever happens to be on. Some of them are active in chat, others just quietly watch Phil dangle keys in front of them.

His wife is pretty boring. She comes from a broken home, and basically settled with Phil for free room and board. She was working at one point, but it was just 20 hour part time work at a store, usually two or three days a week. We're not sure if she's still working these days, but if she is, it's probably the same part time shifts. I'd say she's borderline literal retard. Which side of the border may vary depending on who you ask. At the very least, we all tend to agree she's very simple. No real ambition, is as much of a hermit as Phil, and seems to spend all her time playing video games. Probably the biggest difference between her and Phil is it sounds like she actually enjoys video games. Every now and then there's some wild speculation or theories about her, but I think it's just attempts to spice up how boring she actually is.
 
I like how he went from "FFVII Rebirth is the hot new game that everyone will want to see so I'm done with shitty BG3" to "stop asking for FFVII Rebirth or you're fucking banned, we're playing more BG3" within what felt like the span of a few days. Will he ever learn that just buying a new game doesn't guarantee views outside of the very first video, and that it's a charismatic streamer that brings in the crowds?
 
Phil played Yakuza before he was streaming, though. Back when he filled every second with his annoying babble and goat laughs in his videos.
He never really gave a shit about the series though, always remained a tourist. Back then they were just another game series that he quickly beat for his low quality conveyor belt-style khantent and now he just uses them as sleeping aid and to flex his veteran (tourist) of the series cred.

which is why he got mad and went off on that one guy who suggested he go back and play the older yakuza games he skipped so he'd have context for kiryu's flashbacks in yakuza 8.
 
Phil will now spend the next couple of days coping away the $14 DD2 stream. It will suddenly become a "chill" play session.
don't worry, alone in the dark will save the business. he IS known for his horror game playthroughs! though only $51 of his $115 came in during game play. which is abnormally high for a non bg3 stream.

This is off topic, but I recall Null being rather antagonistic against the posters on the DSP board. I also recall that he had locked the board down in the past.

Why is he so sympathetic towards DSP ? Genuinely curious.

There's a DSP meta thread pinned at the top of this subforum. If you're curious, read through that and if you're still confused, respond in that thread and ask him directly.

Please don't ask here; I don't want this thread getting locked again.

It was less about being sympathetic towards DSP and more about issues with the community. I don't think he cares much about DSP one way or the other. He'll sometimes comment on DSP antics, but he otherwise avoids the gout vortex. I'd kinda compare it to people who know about Chris-chan as "the Sonichu guy" but don't know about him trooning out or the stuff with Barb. I think for a lot of people, DSP is a pretty boring cow to follow. He's pretty repetitive and doesn't have the same presence as some of the other more notorious cows because of his hermit status. For many, he's a combination of "the dude who jerked off on camera that one time" and "that guy who plays video games poorly." It doesn't help that there's a lot of detractors who are arguably just as bad as Phil out there, and we tend to all get lumped together even if we actively have threads on some of those people and actively mock them. Again, I think it's a case of people having limited knowledge on Phil and assuming everyone is still a SoK or Bryan Dunn level of detractor because that's what they knew when Phil wasn't such a niche cow.

There's usually some confusion where people think the hatred towards Phil is because he plays our favorite games badly and negatively reviews them and gets a bunch of his fans to shit talk said game series, not realizing that the gameplay has arguably been one of the most boring parts of Phil's persona for at least the last five or so years, that Phil doesn't really review anything in the first place, and Phil's audience is miniscule compared to his glory YouTube days. Or that people are jealous of Phil's money, not realizing it turned out Phil wasn't sitting on some massive savings as many believed back in the day and it turns out he was massively in debt, had to declare bankruptcy and, while he still does make more money than he deserves, he's not just printing money by exploiting early YouTube loopholes and barely clears 1k views on his videos. They basically know original YouTube Phil and not the Twitch/YouTube 2.0 version of Phil, which are very different people.

Not that all of that applies to Null specifically, but it seems like it's the general impression whenever people from outside of the vortex stumble in whenever there's a fresh wave of infighting or similar drama around here.
