If he keeps saying how happy he is it must be true.

[Clyde Cash's Left Teste]

So, in truth ... I'm about to drop a little holiday truth bomb on everyone, all right? Are you ready for this one? If I never existed, if I'd never made a youtube video, if I'd never had any prominence on the internet, if I'd never bothered turning on a camera, pointing it at a tv and doing really stupid commentary, if I'd never made tens of thousands of videos, all right? Here's the truth. Tons of people never would've been youtubers, tons of content never would've been made, people wouldn't have been inspired to do what they did, and the world would be a very different place."

So did Clarence visit him the other day?

 

[Corpun]

This made me realize something. The sudden nonstop talking about Muh Machoor HwYfe, the lack of calling his detractors "basement losers, while I have a HwYfe and an adult home, loooser!", the ever increasing doordashing, no more home cooking since a while ago, no more Jasper stuff or Buy Muh Kitty Toys crap nor any Khat cameos.

As much as I want to believe the divorce arc will happen, where the fuck is Khet going to go from here? She gets to work a minimum wage job and avoid Phil most of the day, gets to slam her gullet full of doordashed slop, and can spend all day playing Skyrim again.

She's fat as fuck and no one is going to let her move in with them to be as much of a moocher as she is now that makes as much as DSP does. These two were meant for eachother in how well them compliment eachother's laziness and ineptitude.

Phil loving It's A Wonderful Life while completely misconstruing the point of the story to fit his own worldview about how he is the second coming of Christ but for internet content creators is just so on key for DSP. His narc ego is getting way too inflated now.

I've said it before but I have to change my timeline a bit earlier, DSP is going to look exactly like Barbara Chandler before we reach the middle of 2025.

Re: if Phil is just "working the marks" as they say in the wrestling biz with these rants, I personally believe he is genuine about what he's saying. It's not like he hasn't made these grand claims before: he's claimed to be the inventor of Let's Plays (not true btw, despite the 15 year legacy Chris-chan has a legitimately better claim for inventing Let's Plays in the west, and in Japan they've had a fucking TV series with a Let's Play format even before Youtube became a thing), he's claimed to be an influence for the old school big youtubers like pewdiepie, he's claimed to be a pioneer of a bunch of things. This is Phil's narcissistic delusions filtered through his rapidly declining mental state.

Remember for Phil it's all happened so fast too
"I just wanna stay in my lane as a blue collar youtuber"
>Kino arc happens
"THE INTERNET LOVES ME NOW"
>fails to grift and interviews all fall through
"THEY'RE AFRAID OF ME I'M NO LONGER THE INTERNET WHIPPING BOY"
>still gets whaled but absolutely no more semblance of any boost from the kinofags
"THE DANG DIRTY TROLLS HAMSTRUNG MY POTENTIAL AS E-CELEB JESUS"

What we're seeing now is him repeating "I'M NOT OWNED I'M NOT OWNED I'M NOT OWNED" ad nauseam to self-soothe as reality starts being harder and harder to push away.

Phil: "If I didn't exist, the landscape of the internet would be different and there would be a lot of people in totally different places than they are today. My internet presence has had an impact on a lot of people."

Thread full of ridiculous users who spend every day obsessively dissecting every scrap of anything DSP says/does:
"Nuh uh! That's delusional! Where would DSP get that silly idea! Lol!"

Phil's correct, his bizarre existence has prominantly impacted the internet, and technically therefore life.
I don't know if I'd agree with his summarization that it's overall "positive", it's been a very mixed bag (although I think it's positive because it's funny and that's all I care about), but nobody can argue the enigma that is DarkSydePhil hasn't had an unusually large effect on internet culture, especially when you take into account how few other people have had a hand in Philburt's "career".

That's a well aimed holiday truth bomb.

Sure but people would be laughing at retards on the internet either way, whether phil burnell was one of them or not.

And you know your framing of Phil's rant isn't what he was saying at all. He was trying to claim he was the spark that started the whole video game streaming phenomenon that exists today. Sure he was there early on but what exactly did he pioneer? Someone else uploaded gameplay videos before him. Someone else added a webcam with their face to their gameplay before phil. Someone else livestreamed video games before phil. Someone else created emotes to use in chat before him. Someone else used RGB lighting in their background before him. Someone else used capture cards before him. I could go on and on.

He wasn't the first to do anything so there's no way he can lay claim to starting any of this. Literally nothing about video game let's plays or streaming would be different today if phil never existed. He didn't invent anything.

 

[SauceRyuKen]

I think the main reason for Phil's mental decline is his unbreakable narcissm straining against the increasing weight of reality.

I'm guessing most narcissists aren't as incompetent as Phil and it's fascinating to see just how far he'll go to puff himself up and deny any responsibility for his mistakes. It's like watching a machine try to adapt to a programming error--it just can't do it no matter how hard it tries.

You'd be surprised. Narcs don't perceive themselves as intelligent, necessarily, just whatever's trendy at the time. Yung Pigroach used to say "I don't have time to cook, I'm a gamer" with a straight face. Not a techy guy. Not a brainiac. Not a fucking nerd, basically, because back then the raunchy dudebro was the popular option. Mind you, he was never a raunchy dudebro. He had no dudes and he has always been 100% maidenless. He maybe tried to fuck Leanna once, couldn't get it up, and that was that.

It's just that now it's more acceptable to be a soyboy who is at least introspective enough to have "Good takes". Phil said as much in his wounded narc ego rant where he was about to cry. They do perceive themselves as whatever's good, and whatever's good is usually determined by the crowd. If it's good to be an uneducated manual laborer, they'll be the first to defend that you shouldn't even learn how to read. If college education is desirable instead, you can bet your ass they'll constantly remind you how they used to crush all their classes. There's solo narcs and gregarious narcs, and Phil's the latter. Phil REALLY wants that social cred, but he's never gonna get it. A great sign of this is how openly he loathes his dentheads. He wishes he had a normal audience.

Anyway, you can see a lot of new-ish stuff in Phil's narcissism as it develops.

Spoiler: Latest narc patterns Phil has been showing.

Btw a small thing I see not a lot of people caught on is that he told us all that we should kill ourselves now again, in not as many words. That the world wouldn't miss us and so. But it would miss him! Dude, I bet Derich would be heartbroken and would need a tissue for his face on top of his lower regions tissue. Narcs typically do poorly with aging, specially aging and not meeting the expectations of their generation. Phil's barely a millenial, and I think he really identifies more with the aspirations of boomers. White picket fence, 2.5 kids, dog, etcetera. He's torn between wanting kids for the social cred and knowing he'd be a terrible father because he can't be arsed to even take care of himself or his cat, let alone a small human being. It's not even a midlife crisis per se, it's a narc reestructuring. They do this every few years.

You'll see older narc women start fussing a lot over their gray hair, wrinkles and so, and if they have money, they will typically go in for cosmetic surgery. You can see this with Phil, as he slyly fishes for compliments on his physique and does the combover+comb back+shoe polish hair dye khambo to try and appear youthful. An offhand comment by LTG about him needing to plan a trip to Turkey to fix his hairline got him to up his combover game and start dressing like a semi-functional adult. The day he starts wearing ties it'll probably signal the apocalypse.

If Phil had to describe his arcs to you, he wouldn't call them like we do. Instead of pussy suburban sexless catdad Phil, he'd probably call it "Older and Wiser Phil." Like he's got to be wise. Specially since he's not good at anything else. People in their 40's aren't expected to be this horrible at everything, and to consistently mix up "Wife" with "Mham." So, out with the old, in with the new. It's also more noticeable in narc women, but Phil's so girly anyway: It's time for new models to base his false self on.

I was caught off guard at first too with Phil entering his George Bailey phase but realistically it's not that far fetched. Narcs typically form false selves on models they get from fiction or their environment, and it's been a couple years since Phil is trying to sell this "Father knows best" 50's honest, hardworking, corncob pipe smoking Pater Familias. Wise, reliable, level headed. That's not how Phil is, but it's his persona now. It's just that narcissism and retardation again compound one another and Phil, an alien in a skinsuit, can't see that he's doing a VERY poor job of playing this type of character.

George Bailey's not much weirder than Ichiban Kasuga, I guess. Phil now has decided that he wants to command that type of respect and authority. He has already settled on the victim narrative, but like many older people with narcissistic traits, he's starting to feel that "He's been through a lot and he knows a lot, so you better listen to him!". Because it's totally implausible to be a middle aged fuckwit. Or an old fuckwit. As everyone knows. Never has it once happened. Old people are universally wise, like in the movies.

Specially as he combines the worst parts of narcissism and retardation and it just comes out plain to see very often, I.E the EAT SHIT OUT OF MY ASSHOLE rant, or this one. I'm sure he feels like he's got it made, and realistically his luck build is off the charts, he's a failed nepo baby who STILL landed on his feet thanks primarily to being a fucking retard, and he firmly believes he deserves respect for it, but I think most internet dwellers nowadays would politely disagree. Fuck, the very fact that he's been gaming professionally for 16 years yet still plays games on Normal is already a benchmark for failure.

Finally, another narc mechanism: They HATE when people at large don't really roll with their ideas and self perceptions. When Phil says he works a lot for Youtube, he means it. And he's not wrong. Narcs are 100% unable to leave negative comments up without discrediting them or at least deleting them. The bulk of his day is probably deleting negative comments one by one. What Phil wanted with the Kino Casino arc really was to just turn into the gouty version of Max Dood. Hell, Max doesn't take challenges, play with viewers or do anything interesting any more, he's gotten entirely complacent, but he's garnered enough good will and sympathy that he's still most people's go-to for fighting game content.

A thing they typically struggle with is morality. Brown Schlub's term "Radical Pigroachism" to define his political allignment is pretty much his moral allignment as well. There's no allignment chart with him, or there is, but it's just 9 squares saying "Me, Ree" preceded by "Lawful, unless I think I can get away with it" "Neutral, so basically neutered scumbag" and "Mask off scumbag". And normal people can typically sniff out whether someone's a good dude or not. I.E Max. Or Aris. And Phil, he's definitely not a good dude.

But he must be, because he CONSTANTLY SAYS HE IS!!! He's had SUCH an impact in the INTERNET and LIFE, you don't even KNOW. He's AMAZING. He's SUCH a fucking Mother Theresa, buddy. He's given up years of his life to entertain YOU, for FREE, on the INTERNET! What a pure, good, self-sacrificing soul. The world would be worse off without him, and we robbed the world of a chance of Philip Paul Burnell discovering a cure for cancer while playing videogames from his sweaty chair by laughing at him on the internet. Shame on us. Shame on ALL OF US.

By the way, that is a wounded gazelle thing they do where they try to get you to examine your morality because of the generally harmless shit they have to put up with from you, even as they're, I dunno, beating you, telling you to kill yourself, trying to get you to give them your last cent and go live on the streets so they can keep feasting on wasteful shit like doordash... And the funny thing is since most people are normal, it DOES tend to work. Goes hand in hand with their abuse training. At some point they can act like complete jackasses around their victims, and their victims, if anything, will be always polite, level headed and well behaved. It causes this "Oh, uh, fuck, am I mistreating you? My bad. Didn't even notice." Like most normal people's response is almost never to go "Right, I called you a retard once, but you told me TO KILL MYSELF, bro. You're a piece of shit."

If there's an argument they'll always be the first to drop down to their knees and cry and "You wounded me, Ernest. Your words cut deep." Even if it's been a 3 and a half hours of mentally exhausting talking in circles where they try to snake around every last point you bring up. Like sure dude, we make fun of him on the internet, he scams the dents on the daily and he still hasn't stopped after promising he was gonna. I said months back: If he's transparent about where the money goes, openly transparent, nobody here would have a problem with him any more. He's not transparent. It's still when you give me money it's my money and I need to hit the goals BECAUSE REASONS and your reward is me gorging on fast food. I see that resurgence arc went nowhere, Phil. Welcome back to rock bottom. And good luck setting out the whale nets again. Even your restreams are barren of viewers now.

In short, it's the same gaslight he tries on his dents. I don't think he knows it really doesn't work outside the family/close associates of the narc, but the really funny thing is Meerkat answered to his rant and he WAS kinda miffed by it. And Meerkat didn't even catch the LTG meme that Phil snakespoke his way around.

To be honest sometimes I envy how the narc brain works. Imagine going through life fucking over everyone who ever cared about you, being a thoroughly dislikable and unredeemable piece of shit, and thinking you can quite literally never do any wrong, because whatever you did was always the best choice because MOTHERFUCKER, YOU MADE THAT CHOICE! HAVE YOU MET YOU!? YOU'RE THE GREATEST THING SINCE JESUS!!!

Imagine doing an interview, lying your ass off for 4 hours or however long it was, and genuinely failing to comprehend that what people want is the truth.

"What does it matter if it's the truth or not? It's still an answer!"
If it's not the truth, it's quite literally not an answer.

nobody can argue the enigma that is DarkSydePhil hasn't had an unusually large effect on internet culture

How so? Outside of occasionally being invoked as an example of stupidity and incompetence, what "unusually large effect on internet culture" has Phil actually had ? If he never existed, what would actually be different?

If Phil didn’t exist I wouldn’t be a member here and my life would be the slightest bit better.

Yes there wouldn't be anybody to laugh at on the internet if it wasn't for DSP being the pioneer of being worth laughing at, you really nailed it bud. Nobody laughed at shitty trainwrecks in life before him.

 

[Skippy Shortbottom]

That rant was the most mid-life crisis, seasonal depressive, holiday drunken stupor rants I've ever heard.

I swear earlier this year he still had that "He just play game and beg" thing going for him but lately it's just him begging and trying to not play videogames as much. Really flipped on his ass here. Even with the goal hit he still asks for more. Crazy shit. All this guy can do is beg to eat fast food.

There is no way he can claim to eat healthy anymore when this is becoming a once or twice a week thing. What a fat fuck.

 

[EmpGulcasa]

He'll never get over not being the actual original Let's Player. He claimed he was for the longest time despite knowing slowbeef was doing it first and popularized it.
