DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Burl McMillan]

Do you guys think Phil really has depression?

At some point the conversation kinda becomes futile because I don't think the usual diagnostic criteria can be applied to the pigroach. You've got his arrested development making him have the emotional maturity of a 14 year old, you've got his autism further deteriorating that emotional maturity, you've got his narcissism, alcoholism, gambling addiction, latent homosexuality all fighting each other and overlapping and modifying the usual symptoms of depression, he's like a fucking mystery stew of 220ness to the point we can really only reliably call him a nasty greedy autistic gay alien to explain 90% of his behavior.

Jaha should've finished the job.

PWR gets a segment, while Phil gets ignored. That probably hurts him more than anything else. You know he's spending his day off watching KC.

Phil was hoping to get under PPP's skin, but as usual, Phil's plans fizzled out. The king snake is FELTED.

PWR is a hot young dude bringing the heat to the internet airwaves while the other product is a boring old stodgy 220 who is lashing out and acting like a scorned ex-gf that is gathering her ex-bf's other ex-gfs so they can shit on him to feel better about themselves.

Speaking of, I love how PWR's name for Phil is now "the other product." It's so dehumanizing, even moreso than the nicknames that detractors have made for him.

Now will DSP talk about the Keem Cock situation? 1.5 years ago he would happily talk about it how nice it is here on level 1 and that he, Phil, is happily married with his beautiful wife Khet and doesn't need to try to fuck his interns.
But now I think he will go the "I don't know what happened to Keem and I don't care route", only to be informed by dents with tips about the thing he has already read about, because of course he cares.

TLDR: What the fuck is Phil even? How dented is he truly?

No, he recently used depression as an excuse for his behavior in the fighting game community when he was younger, antagonizing people online and challenging them to physical altercations (and not following through with this) at events.
This is not the behavior of someone with depression. Depressed people will feel the need to stay in bed all day, lack the energy or motivation to do much of anything in their day-to-day lives. What Phil described was just someone being an asshole.

Phil will probably play dumb because their interview is about the only one that went well and Keem still has internet clout. I'm surprised Phil hasn't reached out to Keem since the KC thing fell apart... maybe Keem doesn't care anymore.

 

[Elite Kipchak]

honestly there's not much to argue about, Phil just suffers from the first ever recorded case of Burnellism. He'll be a staple in future psychology textbooks alongside his esteemed colleagues like Chris Chan.

 

[Iron Father]

I know I was pining for the old days when DSP actually raged at games, but I've been reminded of something I absolutely do not miss: the constant singing. His Jak II playthrough is mostly hilarious in how inept he is but it's also like 20% him singing and it's fucking intolerable.

Yeah you're 100% right. Somewhat recently he was playing a game and he kept singing "Bad to the Bone" and it immediately took me back to his old antics. Fucking insufferable, actually genuinely rage-inducing.

 

[lupinthethird]

DSP has been relegated to the aftershow section of the Kino Casino stream, and they're using week-old clips now. It's looking bleak DSP bros.

 

[Mysterious Figure]

Do you guys think Phil really has depression? Part of thinks he does based on his gin spending and hogan pulls, it's a way for him to cope. I think in the back of his head he knows he's living a nonsensical, miserable experience but spent too much money and energy to change. I do think he legitimately does not enjoy lying to his wife and parents, but he's a scumbag he has to do what he has to do.

Back to the depression bit, I think he lacks the self awareness to see how his behavior indicates said depression. As said earlier his engorging of gin and gambling is a coping mechanism, he also shows signs of self harm with how he treats his relationships. Well, on that note he's a true and true narcissist that only sees things as he put it "what do I get out of it", it's amazing he's gotten to his age without realizing the basics of human interactions.

Anyway this probably all seems pretty autistic to think and write about but I've been following phil for the past 10 years and it's amazing. He's like if a plane crashed into a train causing it to derail into a nuclear reactor next to the water supply of a city.

TLDR: What the fuck is Phil even? How dented is he truly?

I'd say he has depression, because his life is depressing. There is no way anybody could be happy living the way he does.

 

[Kadamburger]

I'm sure he has some form of depression, but he's too delusional and stupid to realize what's really, really wrong with him. So, it just becomes this "oh yeah my depression" whenever he has a Phil moment.

Not once has this dude faced actual challenge in his life. He never had moments that forced him to grow up or acquire a new perspective. Only gets sadder, the older he gets. Boot up any modern DSP video, and it's the same child from 15 years ago. Throw him into the real world with real responsibilities and he'll collapse like a house of cards.

 

[Iron Father]

Honestly if you were to say he's a psychic vampire like a drukhari I wouldn't really be surprised.

Yes Philip is factually a psychic vampire, but more precisely an energy vampire like Colin Robinson in What We Do in the Shadows.




After droning on and on, leaving his victims drained of energy and in a weakened state, he finally drains their wallets. If need be he will also cause them to regress into states of pure pity in order to feed on them.

Before Youtube he fed on co-workers at his ahffice job.

 

[Chiefbingoball]

When was the last time we saw jasper?

Khet must have taken him.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

Yeah, I remember the "Driving" song. I think it was his "Metal Gear Solid" playthrough where he kept randomly singing a certain wrestling theme song and it drove me nuts.

It was him singing Kojima World Order over and over during the helicopter fight it's also where Sons of Kojima came from.

 

[BlastMonk]

When was the last time we saw jasper?

Khet must have taken him.

Kat taking him implies Kat moved out of the snort fort, and fat Kat can't move that far

Edit: Definitely not a phoneposting fuckup. I did nothing wrong, I did everything correct.

 

[Digger10]

Do you guys think Phil really has depression?

I think he's unhappy, but clinical depression? I don't know.

Some think that deep down Phil knows that he's a loser. It's certainly possible, but Phil's so damn delusional I feel that I can't take it as a certainty.

I think hes told or has been told if you always think positive, you will feel better about your situation. Like that constant positive mindset grift but hes also so useless and stupid hes constantly at war with himself.

 

[Keith the Horse Fucker]

He's at his best when he's deprived from contributions and doesn't hit his goals

This is correct. Day three of not meeting the tip goals leaves is a greasy, sleep-deprived, hungover gout weasel. He is desperate at this point and can no longer keep his mask on. His utter contempt for his fans always shines through.

Depression requires a certain amount of reflection and cognitive thinking. Phil lacks these. He gets sad because he cant pull more Hogans or he has to spend “fun money” on the Internet bill.

Its like when niggers get caught murdering people. They don't really feel sorry for committing the act, they feel sorry for getting caught. Its a lot less evolved form of thinking and experiencing life.
