Where does this year rank in DSP lore? I know that it's not over and he could be dead in 27 days, but by my judgement it has been a bountiful harvest. I'll admit that it was slow in the beginning, but picked up speed by April/May
This year alone could be its own documentary and that's no joke. If xMortis or Secret Limited were to return, this is THE year to cover. Just keep in mind this year started with the legendary "EAT IT" rant AND the Kat reveal. In a way, feels like a rehash of different years' highlights all crammed into one.
* 2017: Kat reveal
* 2018/2019(?): The internet likes me again!
* 2020: WWE Champions/vest streak
* 2023: Sidescrollers
I'm sure there's more, but it's just like Joon said and Phil just proved him right, he is a never-ending cycle. Remember his react to the Joon video, how he talked like every single thing he did in the past is now behind him and doesn't represent him anymore. He even said that focusing on the vest streak was a mistake because he made the streams all about that. Fast forward to today and he's literally suspending the stream for up to an hour and going overtime doing nothing but begging. All that talk about not supporting to own the detractors? Forget it, it's time to felt them and the pre-streams are just him talking nonstop about detractors.

It truly is amazing how accurate Joon was. And you just now if a new video/recap of this year was to be made by someone big, Phil would lose it. I think one big name making fun of him would be the best way to end this year just to completely shatter his "everyone likes me" delusion.

I get so felted when Phil holds his streams hostage until people tip him. Phil, if you want to keep making us seethe, you should continue holding your viewers hostage and demand they pay you so we are eternally coping and seething at how successful and popular you are now despite decades of harassment.
All the shit he talked about LTG and now he's doing the same. Demanding money so he can continue the stream, but somehow even worse because at least LTG paywalled the mic/cam, Phil is paywalling the entire thing.

Phail thinks he looks like AVGN.
I'm glad someone also thinks this.
He tries so hard to be the AVGN it's pathetic. He even does the "what were they thinking!?" while throwing his hands in the air, The scat jokes, the retard bug-eyed face with the muppet or soijak mouth. I have no doubt in my mind that Phil thinks he's making a classic AVGN-tier show and that his "DSP" persona is just what the Nerd is to James Rolfe, but no, Phil is just a whiny faggot and the one on the "podcast" is the exact same person as the one during gameplay.

It's dents play MS flight sim. Most of tonight has been 1 Kino Casino paypig SneedDaveWilliam paying to go to shitty meme location on Ralph's and Reiketa's places.

Also, lol. Look at this tiddy vtuber SneedDaveWilliam is paypigging for as well.

There's so many real life thot's/woman on that site he can choose from and he picks a fucking vtuber.
I really shouldn't shocked but these dents always lowering the bar just like their virtual dad.:stress:
 
Anything else?
>Fat Kat reveal and subsequent streams. Failed attempt of making "family time with DSP and Khet" streams where he tried making her do the Dondoko Island minigame in Yakuza 8 which is pretty much making her do menial labor (the minigame is boring as shit and unlike the other boring as shit minigames in the series like real estate in 0, business management in 7, Clan Creator in 6 it's not even the best way to make money in the game) until she got bored and left mid stream
>Since we're talking about Yakuza 8, the famed "EAT IT!" melty where he legitimately thought that RGG Studios made a game based on his life, as a result it was the only Yakuza game he played where he was actually engaged in the story and didn't fall asleep during cutscenes
>Complete failure of DSP Reacks and Thrown-Out-Back channels, with the former now being used as a dumping ground for his shitty DSPahlitics clips
>Breaking his New Years Resolution of not insulting and being toxic to people in SF6 within 20 minutes of the first SF6 stream of 2024, coped by saying that he didn't break it and that he didn't insult people by calling them mouth-drooling pattern-mashing scrubs, he was merely "stating facts"

My fav shit from this year just has to be how mind fucked he is by Cammy on SF6. Like totally buck broken beyond all reason and I hope we get a detractor video of every match so people can see how much of an insane mental block it really is for him. He treats Cammy as OP god super broken when in reality she is pretty good but hard to play in high level play but totally stomps people at his ranking.
If I remember correctly, he has less than a 10% winrate against Cammy.
 
I mean its possible. I don't fully understand the intricacies of how much this would wipe off his tax obligations.
Business expenses reduce his net income, so anything he buys "for the business" technically reduces how much taxable income is left over at the end of the day. Now... the IRS doesn't necessarily look kindly on sole proprietors who have very very low taxable income. It's a dice roll if you get caught and you better have your shit together if you do. Going back though... wasting money on shit to reduce net income is dumb, since saving money or investing it would be a better play, even if you're paying taxes on that money.

If Phil spends 50% of his revenue on bullshit, he'd be better off cutting the bullshit out, paying the necessary taxes for that revenue, vs just wasting money on things because you have it. And to make matters worse, his numbers now are the same as they were in May-June, before any spending. That says a lot.

Anything else?
>Argentina subs forcing Phil to change his whole system for most of the year. He's still brain broken by Argentina now and will channel audit any gifters over 10 he doesn't recognize (none of his whales gift memberships on Youtube anymore because of this).
>RPG Overload, refusing to play anything RPG related after BG3 almost killed the business - even though BG3 was literally propping him up for months when he was playing Like a Dragon making $5 a night. BG3 and all the whining while playing that could be its own point too.
>Running 1MM away because he refused to read a political-style message, chasing away a whale yet again.
>Every game that was supposed to save the business did not (FF7R got wage quit, Elden Ring DLC was meh at best, Tekken 8 got rage/wage/skill quit)
>Banishing all the childish goals and retconning why he did them, yet still dressing like a muppet on his own
>DSP merchandise, shitty as always
>Wage quitting WWE Champions on stream, and honestly, looks like he doesn't whale out on the game like he did before Kino (RGBEES are the new addiction)
>Mask off Phil coming out of the Kino arc, both money wise (shameless begging even after hitting his supposed stream goal) and on the political side (fence sitting still but calling him center right would be giving him a pass). He's a 2024 conservative who (if he voted) would hold their nose voting for Trump BUT they actually support every decision he makes. They'll totally moral fag you into saying why he's bad too, just as Phil tries to do.
>Multiple rants about how shitty jobs are in the US, just because his HS educated wife can't do better than getting no hours at a retail store, which says more about her than the job market

The time between 1MM leaving and Kino arc was pretty boring. Just a lot of SF6 whining, stupid hills to die on (Stellar Blade is too sexual), and not much else. When he started mentioning RTU again, which got him on the Kino radar on a regular basis, that's when things changed.

There’s common sense limits for tax deductions for small businesses. Phillips accountant seems a professional so he’ll probably draw this line.

For example, a solo streamer presenting a receipt for a 3rd $200 keyboard that year and asking to deduct it is likely to be met with a firm ‘no’. Especially if the reason given is “it’s white so it matches my PC!”. There’s plenty of other examples.

I really don’t know how common audits are in his region so I always assume he won’t be. But an increase in revenue with a big increase in deductibles usually attracts eyes and red flags where I’m from.

I wish we had a chart to prove if this was factual or not. I was under the impression that many people that used to track his shit kind of took their foot off the pedal the moment he admitted to WWEC because it basically became pointless once it was confirmed that he was a gambling addict.

Purity Sin is a tranny vtuber. He also uploads/archives a lot of Mr Metokur's old videos on YouTube.
I might be wrong about the tranny part, I remember them being weird in some way and I might have defaulted to tranny.

I'm confused, retarded, or switched realities. Either way they re-upload metokur videos and have "adult" play throughs on porn sites.

For if/when he loses the Wakhando: His friends and family told him not to move away. Many people, both trolls and dents, recommend he return home to live with his parents. His parents have possibly been pleading him for years to return. His mother is elderly, she might need help with the milk jugs and such, too. The condo is the same as the new PC and the other crap, it's so he can flex on people on the internet that don't care and he'll never meet. For DSP it's all about "Status" and social media clout.🤢
Thrown-Out-Back channels
lol. That channel is a good case against Preservationist AbsoluTism. Some things don't need to be remembered, they can just be thrown in the bonfire to make room for the new. No reason to hoard garbage and waste server space/resources.
Furthermore, he was literally stealing random youtubers' cutscene footage for Red Dead, his dents didn't even crop out the watermark.
 
This prestream is what an aneurysm must feel like. Nothing can be done to correct yourself and it just keeps worsening until you're no longer in control. What the fuck is happening?


Does seem like the most logical conclusion, he thinks he's gaming the bankruptcy because (if I recall) you can't have credit for a while after one. But that layaway shit will kill him. He doesn't think long term, either, so if he's just stocking up on shit he can't pay off (he said that he was done spending for a while about an hour ago) he may think that he can right this ship with the donations (he can't, exhibit A: Bankruptcy #1).

We're starting to talk in circles now, back to vacationing to Japan with the stream overlays!
Honestly an all-time prestream. Pure retard schizokino.
Depending on the type of bankruptcy you can start getting credit after waiting a few months. Granted it will be at insanely high interest rates but someone with a finance degree should be able to navigate that pretty easily.

Lmfao.

He's going full-on "gamer" girl.
Doesn't even have a full numeric keypad entry set of keys. The wheelchair, I mean, Phil, really fucked over DSP this time, with this shitty purchase, hope the flashing lights entertain the retard pressing buttons on it, and Khet.
I don't fully understand the intricacies of how much this would wipe off his tax obligations.
Quickly: as an individual, you, in order, earn, are taxed, then spend what's left. As a corporation (legally this means Phil must have an ongoing registered concern with a tax ID number for it to report to the IRS from), entities instead earn, spend, and then are taxed on what is left over. So if the legal entity that isn't the individual Phil Burnell earns a bunch of fake income, spends fake income earnings on a bunch of thot begging from simps online shit and has nothing left to be taxed on left over, that's a zero tax bill for the legal entity.

Yes, astute tax burden watchers at home, gambling addict Phil's lies fuck over panhandler online Phil with his gacha lies of three different accounts, because he specifically said he has two private accounts and one for the streams, so only those public stream account expenses for gacha are now covered as a tax reduction to income, despite the fact you can spend on research and development (of six star gold :hulk: sweatyman.jpgs, in this example) as a company even if you never bring a product to your customers at market from it. Well done tax cheat Phil, you let the other Phil fuck your ass as hard as you wished those sweatyman.jpg models would have done instead, hope the gape feels good.

"Tell me you let Andy suck your dick at a glory hole, without being caught pressed up against the other wall of the next door stall in the bathroom." Difficulty: demonstration.
 
>Wagequit SF6, the game franchise we're known for and the only game we're decent at despite 40 years of being a retard playing games
Hasn't wagequit it yet he is rather holding it hostage to press money out of his dents. He claims he is getting better again 8in casuals) while getting curbstomped by a "nerfed" Cammy. though imho the nerfs aren't that severe anyway, he just sucks. Remember when he was playing against noah the prodigy? noah at one point switched to cammy and Phil exclaimed "Oh great. but now we will see how Cammy is played RIGHT" only to get curbstomped by the same moves and he was making a sour face because he wanted to say his patented lines so badly but coudln't because his opponent is an accomplished elite player and simpy saying "Mash da jab scrub" doesn't cut it. Or how he insulted Brian or one of Brian's friends with "Pattern play" and Brian was like "what did you say?"

I mean DSP does have a business registration but it is as sole enterprise. I sincerely doubt he learned a single thing from the bankruptcy and all of his personal/business expenses are still completely commingled. We all know he isn't capable of having the foresight to set things up properly.

He of course probably does claim certain things as business expenses but I personally heavily doubt he is suddenly buying gaymer shit just to pad out his business expenses for tax purposes. Someone else said his spending on WWEC has dipped a bit since the KC shit so it may just be that what we are seeing is at least part of the ridiculous money that he was spending on that retard game.

From the desperation of the overtime streams and his dependence on a tiny amount of whales who seem to be increasingly delaying tipping him to reach his goals, it really doesn't look to me like his actions are that of someone rational who is trying to make business expenses before the end of the year - he is in full desperation mode repeatedly at this point.

For example, a solo streamer presenting a receipt for a 3rd $200 keyboard that year and asking to deduct it is likely to be met with a firm ‘no’. Especially if the reason given is “it’s white so it matches my PC!”. There’s plenty of other examples.
Yeah but to counter that, a normal solo streamer probably brings in $1000 a month tops and does this as a hobby or is a NEET. DSP brings in like $120k from livestreaming/content and is truly in the upper 1% of content creators (he seriously is with that amount of money).
In that khantext, I am guessing $300 for a keyboard/mouse probably don't raise that much attention.

The tax threshold to be issued a 1099-K for 2024 is $5k (down from $20k AND 200 transactions), so he will likely get one from Kick, Google & Paypal, so he'll have to declare all of that. I can't imagine Patreon gets above $5k so he can hide that money for another year.

One correction to a prior reply... any business entity not taxed as a corporation falls under 1040-C income, where business expenses are deducted from revenue and you're only taxed on the net. So a sole proprietor or LLC that gets a 1099-K generated counts here too, although if you're doing enough to have a 1099-K you should be registered as a business in your state. It's infinitely easier to manage finances when you segregate spending, plus you open yourself up to business lines of credit... on second thought probably a bad idea for Phil.

Also... when it comes to bankruptcy, by now Phil should have a pretty clean and steadily growing credit score. He has all the arbitrary things that most people post Ch 7 don't have (mortgage and car payment) and if he was smart he would have at least 1-2 credit cards where he pays off the full amount every month to build a history. I've done post-Ch 7 financial planning with people, and it's not impossible to have a 700-750 credit score when your Ch 7 ages off your report.

raw and pop main cammy. every single cammy is a detractor in his mind. it wouldn't matter if she's the worst character in the game, if the detractors are playing her then she's broken op and there's nothing he can do dood
 
Where does this year rank in DSP lore?
God, it might be a top year. The King faggotry really drops it. But, the gameplay which had been declining hard, really saved itself with SF6. And its idiotic to think next year is gonna be even wilder.
I'm not going to say phil is faking tips and I really don't care if he is, either way it's just a really pathetic situation. Either phil is faking tips, which again no explanation is really needed for that situation, or there is actually someone sitting around watching phil melt down until the very end of the stream and finally caving and handing dsp like a hundred bucks so he can quickly shut down the stream and be done, multiple times per week. Who is this person or people who love phil and his content so much that they need to be berated and begged to for half an hour every day to finally give phil the arbitrary amount of money he's demanding?
Yes. I think there is actually a pocket of these retards that pay him, but aren't watching. The easy answer is its well documented that Phil has a European audience, for reasons science cannot explain.
Do you think he discusses his finances with the whales in the groomcord
I was trying to think of appropriate things Phil would rather do, gun to his head. But I just realized. No, he would tell you to pull the trigger.
