DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Whaler]

A bit late, but my favorite bit about Phil talking about his "viral, not viral, just hit the algorithm at the right time" segment was him talking about how he was going to fight the claim on the video so he could get his revenue because it's "his money and he fucking deserves it" then ten seconds later called other streamers fake because they're only doing it for the money.

Tonight while DSP is buying Hulk Hogan tokens, drinking gin and eating a nice doordashed dinner with Kat, I know that the Cannon brothers are living in his mind rent-free for ruining his chill, competitive Friday night fights stream.

Have you ever wondered what it must feel like for him finally when the day is done flopping down on the couch and cracking open his first Hogan of the night?

All day you've been miserable doing what you hate dancing around for fans, detractors, housemates, and cats you despise in equal measure. But at long last when all that is shuffled away till tomorrow. When the phone comes out, the account balance goes down and the burly men light up your screen. You've made it. You're at that moment however fleeting, that you live the rest of your life for and the only reason you haven't sucked down the barrel of a gun. Heck in another second things might come crashing down as you think about your rapidly emptying account. But for one moment one beautiful perfect moment. Pure Ecstasy.

It must be like plunging into a cool crystal clear mountain spring after a long hard trek through the desert.

Find someone who makes you feel the way Phil does doing his first pull of the night.

Has he ever mentioned shooting a firearm?
The idea of the pig-demon finally deciding to make it all go bye bye, getting a gun but fumbling with it not knowing how to even load it, figuring it out but then dropping it immediately causing it to misfire and shattering his foot makes me extatic.

I wonder how it feels every week when Phil dumps all of his Paypal tip shekels into Champions, his reward is a wrestler jpeg and is like 40th in some stupid event. Then he has to do it all again next week, and next week, etc... Play the same fucking games over and over again, be the butt of the internet, waste countless hours with retards in his chat he views as gutter trash... all for this.

Oh he's having the time of his life, these gacha games are made by the same companies that do slot machines. They hire behavioral scientists to figure out what animations to make, where to place the buttons, what seizure inducing animations to play, it's all figured out by smart people.
He's having fun. That and the gin enhances the experience.

Perhaps originally, but now I imagine he just sits there and taps away. It's like when you see footage of addicts in casinos, they sit there like zombies pumping coins in, even when they win they just keep going.

It's hard to say, and unfortunately, it's one of those things I don't know how we'd ever figure out. Based on some of the Discord leaks, it seemed like Phil was complaining about the game, and we've heard him previously rant about pay to win style games/mobile games in general. On the other hand, when he was discussing the mechanics, he actually seemed excited, and when was the last time Phil of all people not only took the time to learn and understand game mechanics, but be the one to offer gameplay advice and try to handhold other people.

We've also seen Phil playing gambling minigames or even little things like rolling the dice in BG3 and he really lit up. And the rare times Phil wins in a game, he'll smugly get happy about it. We know Phil is a massive addict and resistant to change, so I believe there's definitely a large part of him that plays Champions because he's an addict and genuinely can't help himself, so that aspect feels completely joyless for him.

I could see it being a comfort blanket for Phil. Phil truly believes he's a gaming god and deserves respect and admiration, and Champions is one of the few reliable sources to make him feel good about his "gameplay." It helps with his delusions at the very least, but I don't know how much comfort or enjoyment it actually brings him. I'd say it's maybe like...30/70 with how much he enjoys it. There's some dopamine hits here and there, but a lot of it is just probably done because it's part of his schedule/he's addicted/he has nothing else going on in his life.

 

[Yautja]

Yeah, absolutely, I would have used simillar wording if I knew I could be THAT overtly racial.
Fun fact, africans have genetic material from a presumed admixture with an as of yet undiscovered hominid about 50000 years ago in west africa where 45000 year later the bantu migrations took place all over the continent replacing the resident blacks with the new, presumably more aggressive and stupid neo-blacks that now coexist with some of us.

You have to be genuinely mentally handicapped to believe this. If you were being hyperbolic it's one thing but you're clearly serious.

Functioning societies, even at a village level, indicate this is not true. Not to mention there are african cities, doctors, etc.

Be racist but dont be fucking retards

I agree with this. Eventually addicts find more misery than satisfaction in their addictions, but they're in too deep to quit. I don't think he enjoys it nowhere nearly as much as he did Supercard, but it is now a core element of his daily life and routine.

Bites my finger

 

[A Piece of Coal]

His Net Neutrality rant was another peek into how worthless DSPolitics would be. Bitches and moans about how it overall did nothing, then says he has no idea and will read more if his audience wants him to, followed by him throwing his hands up and saying i don’t know who knows.

Everything he does is just worthless.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Does he think his video getting algorithm'd means it was somehow chosen for being good or something? Does he not realize YT will just randomly put videos on peoples feeds sometimes? It means nothing, as seen by every video after that he uploaded dropping to regular numbers.

He thinks he set a standard in quality game play. never mind that 99% only watched 30 seconds and only 130 watched more

How does he not have some A/C in his house then? He always whines about it being too hot and not putting the A/C unit in, but even if it's a Dollar Value central air (forced air in this case), that's still something.

It's been his preloaded excuse to not look like the jackass he is and wear a vest if he hits the goal.

A bit late, but my favorite bit about Phil talking about his "viral, not viral, just hit the algorithm at the right time" segment was him talking about how he was going to fight the claim on the video so he could get his revenue because it's "his money and he fucking deserves it" then ten seconds later called other streamers fake because they're only doing it for the money.

He's been grappling with this mental somersault for awhile. And again, the dents don't see that he's lying to them.

 

[Brother Wind]

Remember, Phil doesn't move goalposts.

Imagine thinking about games like this. Much less as a gamer. Like we could argue about games having shelf lives. But that of weeks? I hate this fucking mong

 

[San Dimas High School]

I’ll admit the bantu migration theory is just fanfic, but there is for sure some mystery admixture in african populations that is yet to be disovered.

The neanderthal stuff was 100% fanfic too. Can you go to the debate board now please though?

 

[Balr0g]

Man after going viral it sure gave him the money hedserv....oh wait only 53$. where is Phil's money ysou lamebrain idiots???

Also look at that viral decline of his views! (and also that dumb sorting order)

 

[Kier Starmer]

Hey, one of those WPIG deep dives? Beats most of the “documentaries” on TV these days.

They have been a godsend whilst I've had the flu, the AI songs of Phil's quotes have been great. The exercise ones have been hilarious.

Remember this retard built a middle condo with roof damage. I still cannot believe those units are valued at 380k-450k they kinda suck and no air con is a deal breaker. For future proof purposes.

 

[TheGreatWhiteNorth]

It’s an inevitability: death, taxes, and Phil shooting himself in the hoof trying to cope with reality.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

He actually doesn't know what delay tech means. Someone suggested that he should delay tech to break flowcharts and dave acted like the guy was speaking some eldritch language.

1:02:12 - 1:02:40

 

[Lazycunt]

In what fucking world is having music that is licensed for the games use that he currently playing transformative it's why heaps of new games have streamer mode which turns the music off. He's so fucking entitled he thinks that he should get free use of other people's work and get paid for it.

Also how much money does 20K views get, I can't imagine it being more than 20 dollars

 

[Vic Viper T301]

He didnt, But he also didnt like that show since it changed too much from the games story and the races were different. Odd that thats a valid criticism when he makes it but not when other people say it about fallout. But I think thats because he has a hate boner for Neil Druckmann and Troy Baker for some reason

Phil has a massive hate boner for Last of 2. It's partially justified to be honest, but he just loves to rant about Naughty Dog and how they were going to have a multiplayer mode that kept getting delayed and then was going to be a separate product, and about how they sold a remake of the first game in the second game's engine for a full $70, the gay episode of the show, etc etc he will take any excuse to rant and repeat those talking points over and over for half an hour.
