DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Digger10]

This is the thing I find most fascinating about Phil.
With most lolcows, it's pretty obvious why they are they way they are when you look at their upbringings/early lives: generally, they tend to come from broken/fundamentally messed up homes, be born with serious mental/physical abnormalities, and/or grow up under enabler parents who never properly disciplined them, but this doesn't seem to be the case with Phil. He grew up in your typical middle-class suburban household, and while his parents probably spoiled him a bit as a kid they didn't seem to be Bossmanjack-tier enablers; they were willing to punish him when he crashed his car, so it's not as if they were letting him run hog wild doing whatever he wanted without consequence.
Which just begs the question of how exactly Phil got to be such a massive egotistical asshole. It's true that some people are just born-dicks, but Phil is extreme even by born-dick standards, and he seems to have been that way right out of the gate. You go back 20 years to tophaters.com and Evo and Phil is exactly the same obnoxious jackass he is today, snorts and all. Hell even as far back as age 13, with the Wolverine story, the guy was an entitled prick.

I don't think we really know that much about Phil's childhood. If nothing else, his mom coddled him to the point of brushing his hair until he was well into his teens.

There already was one though who left a comment on the DTRH video and basically said he thought DSP was nice enough.
What you can infer from that is that the way DSP acts online is totally different to how he is IRL and that no one IRL gives a second though to him like we do.

TLDR: He's a quiet and shy person IRL and no one is gonna drop deep lore any time soon unless it's Leanna or his parents (which will never happen to begin with)

Just like Jaha said when he was talking with the SoK: Phil is all tough when he is online but when you meet him at a tournament he is quiet as a mouse. Considering guys like Jaha run around I can believe it (Jaha also mentioned he once did a "This is SPARTA routine and knocked down Phil with a Sparta shield and Phil rolled around after getting hit and then yelled "did you see that??" to the organizers)

They're all gay for going to fighting game tournaments in the first place lol.

Who can forget this classic

i feel like he should have been part of some mafioso family but was too retarded and gay to make it. So he just played video games to try and make his dad proud.

You reminded me of a funny story involving a DSP lore side character. I went to the China Town Fair arcade in NYC one time and J. Wong was running money matches at the Tekken Cab (I think it was Tekken 5 that was new at the time). There was a big crowd around the cab and a large urban-style individual who was obviously hired by Justin as personal security, because he was not looking at the game, just looking at the crowd of people with his arms folded like a human pillar at Justin's side. The manager of that arcade was an old Chinese man who kept his pet chicken in his little office with him. The rumor was that the chicken could play tic-tac-toe, but I never saw that. I did see the chicken though. DSP probably remembers the chicken too.

 

[NomineNemo]

Not disagreeing with you completely but I think the Wolverine story is legit. I think some parts of the story he embellished but he was the type of kid who'd throw a motherload of a tantrum when being told no. A few years ago I remember he did a reack of old Christmas commercials and without fail 90% if a toy came out in the late 80's or early to mid 90's, he mentioned having the toy.

He's also a terrible actor.

We can always tell when he is making some shit up and also when he is lying which isn't hard since whenever he breathes, he lies. The trick is to figure out where the lie...lies.

But yeah, his Wolverine saga rings as a true and authentic story style tale but I'm willing to bet some of the fiddly bits are fabrications. I kind of doubt he mouthed off to his folks...or not as emphatically as he claimed to.

 

[Skippy Shortbottom]

Didnt he shit on rtu like a week ago that he has his boom mic on the screen and how unprofessional it is? He did the same today.

Lookin forward to all the new upgrades. I love critiquing his "professional" set-up like it isn't some lazy, slapped on expansions to a Sega Genesis.

Phil would be the guy who shelled out for a 32x instead of waiting for a Saturn.

Legit dented to an unreal level with that boom mic shit lmao. The upcoming purchases arc is gonna be fun. You can tell he has renewed spending energy with multiple 3x goal streams I wonder how much bullshit he buys himself on Christmas day while laying on the couch playing WWE Champions.

So many things to consume, so little time in the day to do it. Time is quite literally the original detractor.

 

[Elite Kipchak]

2024 has been the best year of dsp so far imo. I think the only thing that can top it at this point would be an IRS arc or a boogie-style Hassle encounter.

this whole attempt at being WACKY and ZANY by changing his twitter name all the time is one of the gayest things he does

 

[PieceofShet]

His gonna go bankrupt and lose his house cause they will increase the blue checkmarks price on xitter.

Time for a big rant and a shameless beg?

He isn't writing articles so no idea why he would pay for the premium+ one the normal blue check is the same price but I guess it wouldn't surprise me knowing DSP that he pays for the most expensive shit for no reason.

 

[DarkFuhDillz]

He can't help himself. He will even lie when the truth would make him look better. The man lives to lie

Phil is the definition of “he’d rather climb a tree and lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth”. Uses more energy to concoct unnecessary lies. Maybe that’s why he’s always tired from working

 

[Comma]

His PC/mouse and keyboard setup looks absolutely retarded. He has to sit like this:





All the RGB lighting makes him look like a boomer wannabe (PC) gamer even more.

Hilarious. Mini-sperg: The occluded “S” bothers me.

It seems very possible that the next bankruptcy will happen in 2026. The junk spending that we’re seeing + doubtless much more junk spending behind the scenes + ongoing addiction spending in Champions + increasing struggle to find new whales = disaster

I know Andy and his fat lesbian friend won't see this, but thank you for this arc. It was truly worth enduring the King LARP
