DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Keystone]

His Patreon has been a rollercoaster. 870-1200 now back down to 870.One day left to make the goal. He was super excited yesterday about hitting the goal.

Phil or Vidar will pledge at the absolute last minute to make the goal. Like always.

I think the breakup is starting to eat away at him. This is totally normal obviously, but initially he had this bravado like he was over her. Now it's clear he is thinking it over and realizing he fuched up.

A bunch of people called that out in this thread. Living alone is not good for humans, after a couple of months being by yourself it destroys you. Phil doesn't even have co workers to go see he's by himself all day every day.

I don't think it it just the breakup, it is his entire life in general. Maybe he has realized his "career" is just a house of cards that can fall down at any moment, or he is up late at night reflecting on his "8 year legacy" and how little he actually amounted to. Being alone all he has time to do is think about his life, and that can't take him anywhere good.

Whoever left that giant pledge probably lowered it so he doesn't get charged again at midnight, but Phil has instant charging on so he still got that money. As far as I know the goal is still made.

I don’t even think it's the necessary the living alone part that’s the issue. Heck, tons of people live alone after college or when they finally break into a career. I've lived alone and neither my health or my ability to function has suffered. The issue with Phil(and will always be an issue) is that he is asocial. He lacks understanding of verbal and physical cues. He comes off as cardboard; lacking in-person skills. I feel Phil has lived so much in his own bubble, that him going out into the social world to reconnect is impossible. I can’t imagine him calling or texting friends for a get-together on the weekend. I can’t imagine him heading out to catch a sports game or concert with a friend or evening being…human enough…to know how to socialize without talking about himself.

This is the same guy that avoided Skype, Discord, and other social sites because he is that paranoid of trolls and inept at keeping relationships. The most interaction he gets outside of the hugbox forums is doing shoutouts, but that's more reading than actually chatting. We're slowly reaching the first Thanksgiving and Christmas without Leanna- the lack of any bond is going to sting, sooner or later.

I agree, he will really feel it then. Putting up a tree alone (he wont), cooking a Thanksgiving meal for one (again he wont, will be a turkey Hungry Man dinner). During New Years when people are out and about or snuggling with the significant others having a drink and watching movies he will be alone, most likely sipping gin and going to bed by 11.

Yesterday Phil streamed Cuphead, and here are some impressions:

- Despite having butterfingers, he didn't perform as bad as Dean Takahashi, but also wasn't that good to brag about.
- Since the game can be bought via Twitch, Phil didn' trash-talk the game and its developers, and also tried to avoid foul language as much as possible ("what the flip?")
- He stalled starting the game for a good chunk, with a long pre-stream and talking into the intro of the game, which included singing over the chorus of the intro.
- While stream chat can barely help him, they managed so because Phil knew instantly that he has to "parry" pink enemies and projectiles to raise his special attack meter. Later on he miraculously realized that he can dodge under a certain enemy he can barely jump over, right after reading the stram chat.
- Phil died a total of 79 times, with about being half-way through the game. A good thirty percent of his deaths came from the boss named Grim Matchstick, a dragon he failed to memorize the telegraphed attacks repeatedly. Took him 30 minutes to beat this boss, right after his 20 minute break.
- Phil bought an upgrade which gave him an extra heart (so he can get hit another time without dying) but lowers his overall attack damage. Without that upgrade he would have died many times more. He also bought a second upgrade which would give him another heart (and lowering his damage further) but he forgot to equip it.
- The lowered damage means that he takes way longer to defeat bosses, the final fight before the end of the stream session dragged on forever since he also equipped a secondary shot type and failed to hit like 80 percent.
- In the jump and run levels he didn't do terrible, but already cheesed his way through because some mini-bosse appear on the edge of the screen and can be shot but still don't trigger their attacks, which Phil proudly made use of. One mini-boss also seemed to have glitched out.
- Phil died during one boss fight the same time the boss died but unlike Mega Man X3 back then the game gave him a pass and counted it as a level finish.
- At no point did he perform outstandingly good, and with the exception of the Grim Matchstick fight he didn't rage that much. He also didn't shit on the game (it's actually pretty good looking but short) but that may change since the tough bosses are yet to come.

I'm playing through the game right now, and truth be told from what I've seen, he hasn't been doing that horribly. Believe it or not, he's been doing better than some of the other people I've seen streaming this game. Not just Dean Takahashi.

I'm going to call a rage quit today though, one fight in particular might send him over the edge. There's a boss called Dr. Kahl's Robot which will be coming up soon that I think it will enrage him to the point of no return. Stay tuned, because that boss was fucking rough.

Edit: He beat it. Congrats, but booooooo.

I wonder what his Thanksgiving dinner is gonna look like. Do they make Hungry Man holiday dinners?

I don't know, but I'm guessing it'll be like his Halloween.

Next patreon goal is obviously going to be dressing up as a turkey for Thanksgiving... but how can you dress up like a turkey when you already look like one?

EDIT: Looks like Ginosaji8 is back in the moderator team:

Been lurking here since the SOK fallout and this has become my go to place for loling at DSP. Made an account pretty much solely for the fact that I saw this old ATK last night and the relevant portion is about the best few minutes I have ever found where if someone said, 'Who is this DSP guy?', this is what you would show them. It is a stunning display of just how overwhelmed this dude is by... life. His recounting of his average day, and his characterization of it, is offensive on SO many levels to anyone with ACTUAL problems. If you're ever tempted with all his current, past, and I'm sure to be, futre emergency vlagh nonsense to feel bad for him, this is his day. And he thinks that other working people should give him money to support it instead of him doing something about it, because 'NO TIME DOOD'.

Nah he'll be up until 6 AM as usual. But he will refuse to stream until midnight.

Maybe he's also found out Leanna has a new man? That's gotta sting bad no matter what front you try to put up.

Also doesn't help when the new beau is an objectively better person. But that's not a high benchmark when you consider it's Phil we're talking about.

Think he might be using a guide for Cup head. Usually DSP does levels in order. He decided to skip the robot level and do another level. Then he went on break before doing the robot level which is very suspicious.

He uses a guide for every game he plays, its called the Stream Chat

Don't know if its really helping. The few times I've checked in he has multiple supers which he seems to never use.

Thanks, Twitch chat.

That 2nd last stage game play was actually entertaining to watch.
Phil accidentally rolled a dice which made him restart the stage, then got all the way to the end and died straight away at the end game

Then he managed to get to the end of that stage, and somehow managed to beat the boss as well as die on the same hit (unfortunately the game gave him credit for the win)

I guess Phil really does have cockroach luck even in fuckin games.

He was just blowing his nose and taking a piss.

For 45 minutes. Definitely not taking his first diet-induced constipation shit of the day.

Well phil has a special talent for snatching defeat from the claws of victory..

Mmmm...the freshly microwaved smell of turkey, cranberries and loneliness.
