DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

If Kat was afraid of the trolls during irl stream before then boy has she got a giant shitstorm coming her way the next time she shows up on camera.

There won't be a next time.

 

[actually]

Phil cancelled his second stream. Probably because people found out about Kat's past.

Nah, he already planned on not having the 2nd stream (check the schedule pics from a day or two ago).

I had a feeling that might've been the case so edited my post. Apologies everyone for jumping to conclusions.

Gonna be awkward as fuck at the Burnell dinner table tonight...

 

[Kermit the Frog]

So now there's a solid possibility that Kat isn't quite the dullard people thought, but is instead a true gold digger who used some other dude to get a car and then moved on to Phil to have a rent free roof over her head and maybe get a cut of his internet "job" money? Who let Mr. Shyamalan near this season's script?

Can I also point out how tragically hilarious it is that he spurned and chased away the one woman who actually liked him but people thought was a gold digger only to replace her with a woman that doesn't care for him at all but actually is a gold digger?

You're right to certain extent. I still say Kat is a dullard, but then again it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the pussy game is ridiculous and even rational guys will look over giant red flags to get/keep a girl. For someone like Phil, who is already a fucking moron, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. We all know how desperate and pathetic Phil was after Leanna left. He immediately went searching for a replacement and the first girl he found that replied back, Kat, he immediately fell in love with. Kat, already being a fan of Phil's (or at the very least did some research after he messaged her), sweet-talked him by telling him all about how much she loved to cook and clean, which is all Phil ever talked about wanting in a relationship, along with some sob story about her financial situation (she's getting kicked out of her place, dood!), which he can also relate to. Throw in some sexy time when she visited, Phil was sold and Kat was his soulmate. So yeah, Phil got played like a damn fiddle since we've seen how dirty his pigpen still is and the fact that he's still re-heating months-old, frozen sauce to make dinner with. Having her around to make very awkward videos with is enough of an ego boost that it doesn't matter if Kat is a gold digger that doesn't like him.

 

[Monday Michiru]

Can we get a big for ten million pageviews?

If he want's people to know his stream easily why the fuck can't he use that one extension that you can embet your start times to your page or just manually do out his weekly schedule on his twitch page so that people don't have to go to his twitter to see that shitty fucking screenshot, if hes manually typing it out anyways why can't he just copy paste it into a section on his twitch page that reads schedule for the week or something like that?

With 280 characters on Twitter now, he can do the schedule in a normal tweet without the WordPad detour.

There won't be a next time.

So it would appear. We know Kat reads "detractor" comments... She's seen so much and still agreed to come on cam three times, but being definitively exposed is different. The August IRL stream will be solo despite the hype and fun associated with the previous two, and Dave will tuck his head in and barge through all the questions and criticism like usual.

I don’t think he knew she was dating someone at the time. I think he’s a big enough idiot to believe the lease story. She probably used the idea of possibly renewing her lease as penne to lure Phil into begging even harder.

Idk I think Phil's in on it as well. Usually he loves to parade shit around in people's faces to try make the "haters" look stupid. This time he didn't want to say a single thing about Kat. If the only reason she was moving in so fast was because her lease was soon up, what's wrong with mentioning that? "Hey guys! Met a new girl online. We met a few times and she's moving in. Fast I know right? Well her lease is up this month and just doesn't want to renew. She needed somewhere to go and we're hitting it off well so we just sort fast tracked everything."

No one would care and it would explain a lot (if it was the truth). I don't know if Phil knows everything about this Kat situation (or if he's got blinders on), but he knew enough to not open his mouth, at all. Possibly due to worrying a "detractor" might look into this story and do some digging? Can't dig if you don't know the name of the person or anything about them right?

I have two possible theories now. Either both of them are in on this entire thing, which means Phil's an even bigger scumbag and the theory that both using each other makes sense. He wants a "trophy" to parade on camera, and she's using him to get to wherever she's going. Phil dgaf as long as he thinks he's got one over on the detractors. Or maybe Phil does know some stuff but genuinely thinks she's soooo into him because he's such a stud and there's no way he's gonna get played like that other chump.

It'll be interesting to see how things play out.

When I worked in software the "Button you can click to suggest improvements" redirected to a group email called "The Black Hole". Assuming that was a real response (which, again, Phil's also said they don't reply to him on the weekends) that was their nice way of saying they're wiping their hands of it.

 

[dsflfdsl23012]

I don't know if it's different in Europe or wherever you're at, but a "condo" is a little bit different from an "apartment". Phil owns his actual unit, but there are shared spaces (parking lots, maybe a pool or club house) owned by the Condo Association, to which Phil pays dues monthly (these can be high for gated communities with a lot of landscaping or 'shared' buildings, but I think the CT Condo is just a parking lot to get plowed and someone to come mow the lawn once a week). Phil may also be on the hook for levies like repaving, repairing hallways/elevators/roofing, etc.

Since Phil is the landlord, and since his mortgage (which he's surely paying the bare minimum on) has more debt on it than the actual value of the condo unit, he's actually in a rough spot. Not that I have any sympathy for him. But he can't just abandon it since the mortgage holder can sue for the difference, and he can't do a short sale or a sale below mortgage value because the remaining balance of the mortgage (probably 25-30k still) becomes due immediately.

You know what's not underwater? His Renton mortgage. In fact, he could probably sell that and easily cover his moving expenses, most pressing Credit Card debt, and the Q1 and Q2 Federal taxes that a lot of us have assumed he's been ignoring. Going from 100k to 60k in income gets a lot more palatable when you go from 100k to 60k in expenses, fatty.

I still to do this day never understood his mindset of moving to Washington. His CT condo seemed like a chill place to live. I know he said it's cause him and Panda needed a bigger place but seriously? Come on bro, a condo can easily handle two people. He never needed a house that big. I know it was for his ego and to own a "home" and all that, but the condo was perfectly fine.

I feel like he'd be in such a better spot if he had just never left CT. All the highs and lows of Youtube, Twitch, whatever the fuck, he'd be fine if he just stayed in CT. He would've never had to beg either. Just pay the bills, save the rest. Hell, he could've probably bought a ton more shit and had dozens of vacations (instead of the rare staycation) and still been good on money and no one would've given a fuck. Worst case scenario borrow some $$$ from the parents and get an EZ P/t job.

Fuck it makes me a little salty just thinking about it. If he had just stayed in CT, took the Ls that came his way (like every other streamer/LPer, keep his mouth shut, and released his 20-30 no effort videos every day he'd be fine. He'd still have Machinima, he'd still have his loyal fans donating to him on Patreon, he'd have Twitch bits/cheers, and he'd have the DSParchive as sort of a retirement plan. He'd have way less stress as he wouldn't have an "army of detractors" stressing him out every day. He'd easily be fine on money, even with the frivolous spending because he wouldn't have two properties to worry about and the BMWs and shit. He could legit just stream games like 2 hours a day, upload the footage, and then be free to do whatever he wants. Watch movies all day or get drunk. Expand his horizons and get into doing podcasts, cross promote with other youtubers/twitch streamers or working on edited videos if he wanted to.

All he would've had to do was just drop the damn ego. If he just stayed where he was at, stayed in his own lane, he'd be fine. He didn't need the house. He didn't need to get into fights with his employers, fans/critics and the rest of the world. He doesn't need to be this "Underdog Innovator of Let's Plays/Best Gamer in the Country!" If he just dropped his ego, dropped his narrative, accepted that he had his 15 minutes, and what he's got going on is good enough he could've coasted the rest of his life. No drama. No crises. Nothing. He would've been more than fine.

Like so much else with Phil we'll likely never find out what the real story about Kat is. While I agree that it is more likely than not that Phil knows about her past I don't think he'd ever reveal it or his knowledge of it unless they had some kind of super bad breakup. Even then maybe not since he'd be admitting to helping her cheat on someone else, though I suppose he could lie about knowing. There is potentially a super small chance Kat might spill the beans just to fuck over Phil if he pisses her off, but I think that's a bit . Kind of funny that we're basically back to way it was when Leanna likely cheated on Phil and him not able to do anything since she could destroy him.

oh he will bring it up, but he will throw kat under the bus. he will say she used him and he discovered the situation with her ex and she lied and manipulated his big heart.

the thing is even if kat comes out and reveals stuff about him he will just write it off and say shes lying or trying to slander him. at the end of the day all he cares about is making sure his paypigs believe him, and they've proven countless times they are willing to ignore all logic and facts to support dave.

 

[Haunter]

I still to do this day never understood his mindset of moving to Washington

To quote myself:

IIRC: according to Aireaidlord, Phil had a received a payout after a car accident. It was Fred's speculation that Phil's hasty retreat out of Connecticut had do with this settlement.

I only remember Fred mentioning it later at some point. I never heard the source material he was referring to, so if anyone knows where to find it, feel free to message me. This is something I'd be curious to see elaborated on.

I'm curious what the reaction will be from his incel riddled chat at the knowledge Kat was cheating on her long-term boyfriend with Dave, and was probably still living with her boyfriend after he found out until like January 2018.

 

[Vivica A. Fox]

What I can't get over is: who the HELL chooses Phil as being "the other guy"?! In what world is Phil the more attractive option compared to whatever you have now??? Phil is the kind of guy you cheat *on* not *with*.

Probably praise, most of his immature fans will see it as dave asserting his macho alpha male status and bagging a super model level GF

My favorite theory is that pandas family was having second thoughts about having a gouty manchild son in law and the move was an attempt to isolate her from any family or friends who could take his maid away from him.

 

[Freshtodeath]

Kat's ex thought DSP did "financial shit" on the side. I wonder if there is any truth to this. What would it be? DSP has firmly stated he thinks investments are dumb. Was he just misinformed?

Phil made this bed and GODDAM IT, I'm gonna enjoy watching him sleep in it.
