So DSP keeps mentioning how his emoticons have to get manually approved:

So has DSP been issued a warning in the past 90 days? Or is he not a Twitch partner (I thought he was?)

EDIT:
Looks like others have noticed this as well

Is this a new Twitch policy? I remember many months ago him uploading the dspGASM emote (his cum face), waiting for manual approval before it ultimately getting rejected.

I wouldn't be surprised if DSP got put on some watchlist due to his "i jack off on stream" antics.

Also, i know this was like 2 weeks back but, was there any reason (other than him being a bitch) Phil didn't play his 2nd demon souls run online? i thought at the start of the run he mentioned he wanted to play it online before the servers went offline.

Oh I know why; he remembered when players would come in and fuck him up, and he's choosing to bitch out now to avoid invasions or that one boss fight. Mainly because for all of his fronting about how muy macho and real he is, he's ultimately a coward and mumbling baby IRL and can't take having his ego wrekt by people in even the tiniest of ways.

Thanks, its a shame though, when the TIHYDP came out i was looking forward to scraping spear salt.

I think he used to do his emoticons through some 3rd party service (I don't really understand the system fully).

Anyway, if there's an easier, cheaper, faster way to do something that makes you a happier person then you can pretty much guarantee money that DSP will never use that option because of him being DSP.

I wouldn't even be surprised if he's faxing in his emoticon approval forms or using smoke signals tbh.

It's probably one of the most frustrating things about him, because usually people that are lazy are successful through being lazy and save themselves tons of time by choosing the easiest/fastest way to do things. But his version of lazy is to do nothing, change nothing and learn nothing.

Internet is internet. Anything you show me could be fabricated. :stress:

Thanks for the info. What I meant, more specifically, was that Phil seems to try to treat emails, and other printed text, as legal contracts. The OPseat emails were more of an honor rule agreement. If he had signed anywhere, physically or digitally, we would have been made aware. He was adamant about it being "in writing!" that he'd get a chair.

But he first argued this during the copyright strike saga of 2015. Apparently, posting fanart in the TKOH forum fanart submission thread gives him 100% legal ownership of the work. (But what if that work itself is stolen?) @Jackie Chin might be able to explain further.


Pretty sure anything legal that has to do with Phil is already a complicated mess. In terms of OPSeat they have every right to stop sponsoring him, it’s their product. I don’t think DSP physically signed a contract, if we take him at his word, so literally the only thing that’s hurting his “business” is not getting a free chair. It’s exactly the same as in 2015, Phil thinks “Hey use this!” is a legally binding agreement, but Phil is a scummy guy, and his scummy actions fuck him over. It’s only illegal against terms when it happens against him, although he’s free to do it as he wishes.
 

This comment from Phil fascinates me, with just how hypocritical it is.

Even if it he's not being serious, it's apparently okay to "invade" someone else's stream just to "troll" everyone? But it's not okay if he's on the receiving end of said trolling. Like I said, even if he's just joking, he's talking to people that aren't exactly the smartest cookies, that might feel it's okay to do this because he's actually said they "SHOULD" do it, unlike his previous comment of "I never condoned what Vidar did!".

Either way, it's hypocritical and dangerous, with how some of his fans are. Either Phil actually believes it's okay to invade streams just to troll unless it's his own, or he's joking about it when he shouldn't, which makes him look bad.

You heard it here first, MHW is boring as hell and is awful. But it's also not a bad game. Also he hasn't played it. Phil reviews, everybody!

Phil always finds a way to get out of playing something that he believes won't net him a certain level of cash.
He knew full well this was a release weekend, he always complains that he can't have "personal time" when a new game comes out, but when he doesn't think it will pay he acts like its downtime.
He will also never come out in writing saying anything is a bad game, fearing backlash from the forums, but live on Twitch every game is shit.

"Views views views, I don't want to be Mr. Views" :stress:
 
It's worse than you think. DBFZ has autocombos. You press a single button repeatedly and it does a full combo with air included and a super. And somehow Phil still completely sucks at the game. Good fucking god.

(I actually applaud the game for doing this, it makes it both a casual game for parties, and also a pro fighting game for people who want to build longer working combos on their own. )
And there’s a few combo’s that pretty much every character can do if they wan’t to like in other anime fighters. Granted, I doubt phil took the time to learn how those work. Also, I have some questions because I’ve been away from my desktop. What characters is he using? Is he doig his supers raw? Is he using his standard mangled FGC terminology or is has he been smart and considered which characters would be good points/assists/anchors?
https://twitter.com/Drgnkiller/stat...y|twsrc^android|twgr^copy|twcon^7090|twterm^2 This blows my mind. How the fuck can you tell people that yeah, the audio from your voice is in sync, but the audio of you slapping the controller isn't? This is causing me physical pain.
And it’s controller as opposed to a stick, so it’s less likely actually stand up to the abuse.

Usually when companies or websites allow user submissions they not only claim full copyright for all of eternity but they also have a provision whereby you "legally agree" that you are actually the rights holder.

They actually don't. While there have been some overreaching TOSes like that in the past, most sites these days simply insist on a nonexclusive license for use.

Facebook for instance:

"For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it."

More here. They also limit that so that you can't just delete something and then instantly sue them because it's still up, or it's been shared by third parties, or you made it a public post and it's now up here on Kiwi Farms, or they used it in an ad, or whatever.

Phil is a dipshit, though. There's no way he can prove someone even read that. They may have come into the thread on the last page and have no way of knowing any of that. Usually to be enforceable, those kinds of things have to be prominently placed or you have to click through to agree, whether with a popup or other mechanism to ensure you're at least aware there's a TOS and that you're agreeing to it.

Sorry I more meant when it comes to competitions and user-submissions (i.e. fan made artwork). Basically when a company solicits user submissions by making a competition or asking for art work for some project. Video/photo uploads for your own accounts (the best term would be unsolicited content) wasn't what I was talking about.

Like this Microsoft developer contest:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/projects/campaigns/dream-build-play-rules

Or this Flickr competition:

This is super standard stuff anytime something like this happens. They also add protections allowing them to basically own your first-born child so that if you submit something that happens to be vaguely similar to a product they release later on you don't have any legal standing.

Companies like Microsoft and Google also exercise extreme caution even when it comes to suggestions from users and usually either prohibit any form of user suggestions (in terms of new products) or make a long terms and conditions where if you suggest any product or improvement to them you are basically signing away all rights forever.

Twitch also has very similar shit when it comes to users who may submit works which incorporate copyrighted material that they don't have the rights to:
upload_2018-1-31_19-16-23.png

https://blog.twitch.tv/stream-on-submission-terms-and-contestant-release-a8bcc4bbab9f

So, DSP has no real protection against any users submitting someone elses work and then him getting copyright strikes unless he took it to actual court. Provided he placed liability on the end-users who submitted the work in the first place then I assume he wouldn't be held legally liable if some big company (like Nike or whatever) decided to sue him.
 
This is super standard stuff anytime something like this happens.

That's more or less what I quoted from Facebook. It doesn't say they outright own it. It says they have a "non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license." Nearly word-for-word what Facebook has: "non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license." This isn't the same as other TOSes that purported to transfer the copyright outright. The Microsoft one is somewhat more overreaching, but again, mostly intended to protect them from liability.

It isn't some sleazy attempt to grab copyrights, but to protect them from liability from idiots who submit things to them and then don't like how they get used. What Phil has done is exactly that, a sleazy attempt to grab copyrights.

lol. Phil gets no new viewers on his old shit unless it's a very popular game that nobody else is playing. He really should play Monster Hunter because he could ride that wave. He'll play it eventually, but like everything else it'll be too late. What other new games are even out right now?

As far as the chair sponsorship goes, he's not missing out on anything. Those chairs have been around for years now and are basically a meme at this point.

Some fighting game commentary for those not familiar with DBZ. In the first match Phil gets his shit pushed in because the opponent is cancelling unsafe normals into the Dash (that move where they fly around the screen and home in on you which BTW is a one button move). Medium and Heavy moves and certain special moves are massively unsafe on block. However, a lot of dudes at the moment are cancelling these unsafe normals into the Dash which cannot be punished by your Light or Medium. The only ways to punish the Dash is to either do a move with invincibility (I.E. a level 3 super or a special with invincibility) OR you do the 2H Launcher (down Heavy) but your timing has to be on point.

Another edit: at 1:58 the opponent does level 3, Phil blocks it and goes to punish it (you cannot cancel supers into dash or anything but another super unless it's a level 3). He does Cell's Crouch Medium, Crouch Heavy thinking it will hit. It doesn't. He blames it all on lag.

NO PHIL! Cell's crouch Medium will push them away on hit and he cannot combo into the crouch Heavy launcher. Instead, you have to do to stand Medium and THEN crouch Heavy to get the launcher. There was no lag or anything. Phil just sucks dick as per usual.

If Phil put any time into training mode he would realize this but of course this is Phil we're talking about...

2nd edit: 5:50 in and I'm laughing my ass off seeing Phil just do repeated random super.

Someone sent me this in regards to being a Twitch partner (based on the discussion of DSP potentially having a Twitch account in bad standing):

"You lose good standing on twitch when youre constantly warned or found at fault on actions. Its a form of probation if you will when you do shit that is against ToS or repeatedly commit minor offenses. Not being in good standing also means he is monitored for issues pretaining him losing his standing. Now Twitch has the right to end partnership contracts with DSP but normally do not and will just subject the partner to more tedious verifications and approvals rather than automatically push things through because they do not fully trust what the partner will do This also applies to channels deemed overly mature content etc. Like URL streamers etc.

IRL*

They started the good standing stuff in june of 2017 btw"
 
If I heard Snort's yesterday's video correctly, Phil's increased tip popup threshold on his streams to five dollars because "so many people are troll tipping him with small amounts to see themselves pop up on screen"

His argument is that bits are different than tips because they can't be refunded (no idea if that's true, I'm not familiar with whether you can or can't do that) and that he will "still read out tips, they just don't pop up on screen" - so now the smaller tippers have to tip more to get the satisfaction of screen attention (everyone knows by now that Phil tends to just hand-wave cheers and tips when he gets annoyed at a game).

Every single troll that gets to Phil makes him bulldoze another one of his fans' houses to erect more walls around his stream safe space.

Also, I have some questions because I’ve been away from my desktop. What characters is he using? Is he doig his supers raw? Is he using his standard mangled FGC terminology or is has he been smart and considered which characters would be good points/assists/anchors?

I haven't been too interested in looking up his most recent salt because I can't stand watching his stream or his own channel, and the earliest edits of him raging are usually by lazy thieves like Vault Boy who just put loud obnoxious meme music and gifs over Phil's shit thinking it doesn't smell just as bad.

Give it a month until someone more competent and a fighting game fan (like Soma) does an edit that's watchable.
