Obnoxious and shameless to the nth degree:

I wonder if this fatass realizes that not all of his fans are autistic paysluts like Vidar giving him their welfare check. Most of them have probably given him all they can without alerting their parents to where their money is going. That old cartoon trope of opening a wallet with dust and moths coming out of it is representative of his fans right now -- they're spent. No more.

I hope this pisses off his fans to the point of leaving him. This will never ever happen, but a man can dream.

Jesus Christ, if I was a supporter of him (thank god I'm not) I would just stop altogether giving him money after a phrase like that. How can someone defend a manchild like that?

Holy shit. Really thought Phil hit rock bottom on the things he would say as a greasy, sleazy conman, but this actually got a reaction from me. The irony of this is Phil will never "get the message" of why he makes less money on Youtube, or why a lot of videos never make it over 1,000 views, or people are not obligated to give him any money even if they watch every stream. Fuck this guy.
 
I would argue budgets should be almost independent of with income. Whether I have 10 thousand coming in a year or 1 million I'm still going to try to limit my spending.

That is to say, maybe more clearly, I don't think a person should base their spending habits around their income and by extension I think budgeting is possible even with unpredictable income. An attitude like "Ok, I make a lot so I can spend a lot," is what got his credit ruined almost immediately after fixing it back when he was making a killing on YouTube. The smart move would have been to make no (or at least minimal) changes to his spending (budget) and save or invest the discretionary income (money that isn't budgeted)- or at the very least spend it on something that'll be fun. Instead he bought stuff that doesn't make him happy, doesn't make him money, and would cost him a lot of effort and/or money to move or get rid of.

DSP said on ATK (ask the king) that investments are dumb. I think he's one of those lottery winners who would spend the money on dumb shit and never be happy.

Fucking hell. He's been overt with how he really views his fans in the past, but this is the worst that's ever been for him. He is openly admitting that he sees his viewers as ATM machines. That's all they are to him. God, I hope this makes those poor saps wake up and realize how goddamn scummy this is. Between this shit and the way he handled giving out Leanna's hospital information to strangers on the internet, this year has shown us Phil Burnell at his absolute worst. He's become a total parasite at this point, and I think that might actually be insulting to parasites.

I bet he's never once tested his latency. Fast Internet does not mean stable Internet or low latency, but he'll just blindly assume it does.

Even if he did prove that he had latency, my question has always been why the opponent never suffers from it to the same degree.
Most of the time he's complaining about delay it's either not there or normalized. Irregular delays and anomalous spikes do appear now and then, but you can actually see those.

Thus, some follow ups:
Dear Phil,
If there's actually normalized delay, why can't you appropriately buffer your inputs?
If unsafe strings go unpunished and are the only way to easily win, why can't you do them? Please don't cite honor, as we all know exactly what kind of playstyle got you that "tournament win".
If the game is as consistently dropping your inputs as you claim, why don't we see the same quantity of obvious whiffs and out of context moves from your opponent?

Bonus question:
Why do I keep seeing the words "COUNTER" appear on the opponent's side of the screen whenever you say you're blocking or "doing nothing" ? The nuances of high level play are lost on a pedestrian like myself.

I didn't realize that Phil was playing on wireless but he's stupid enough to be doing that of course.

I'll defend him a little bit when it comes to Street Fighter 4 because that game used Delay-based netcode and a good part of it's combo system is reliant on 1-frame links (I.E. Jab, Jab, Medium, Special, then maybe FADC cancel into Ultra). Now, a 1 frame link is like a fraction of a second and requires perfect timing. So even if both players have amazing internet connections the inputs can still drop because the game wasn't designed with online in mind. It was designed as an arcade game first.

But with every other fighting game it's BS and he's just making excuses... Not unless the online is really bad like the pre-GGPO MK X. For example:

Absolutely, you're totally right. Capcom's netcode has historically been mostly unacceptable, and you're dead on about SFIV. Even offline w/ plinking you'll see combos dropped at tournaments. And yes, online inputs can certainly be dropped or misread. However, Phil's "latency" woes have a few deeply problematic symptoms:

a) He regularly "drops" basic, fundamental motions. He can't consistently SPD, Shoryuken, Flash Kick, and so on. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt if he was making mistakes on very precise combos, but he rarely ever gets there. He even drops hadoken chains sometimes, which is insane. All of that just indicates very sloppy inputs. There's a clip in a TIHYDP of one of the few replays he uploaded in SFIV...his inputs are __PLOT TWIST__ a complete mess.

b) The amount of input drops he claims per match is just not possible. If it were so bad that you couldn't consistently get basic specials you'd see it on the screen and you'd see it in the opponent.

c) This is the most damning factor, though: his complaints are almost exactly the same no matter what fighting game he's playing. If you just listened to a series of TIHYDP clips with the audio context of the game sufficiently censored, you would never be able to determine which game he was talking about. These are generic complaints meant to rationalize his inability to practice and/or accept defeat gracefully. The other cute part is that he also routinely complains about dropped inputs in single player games, which is just another extra nail in that already well fastened coffin lid.

As it turns out, the only thing Phil can properly pre-buffer is his set of excuses.

Sadly, DSP himself has stated numerous times in King of Hate vlogs, all the way back in 2010, that his repeated statements of "bugs" and "lag" and "glitches" are nothing more than catchphrases and jokes.

Yeah he is just joking, and when his viewers call him out for said jokes they are fucking morons who don't understand the game like he does because he is a pro and they are dummies who can get the fuck out of his chat. Perfectly logical and reasonable follow up response instead of Phil just saying "I am just joking about the lag."
