DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[SkippyLongbottom]

The part that I like about this is that Phil is willing to admit multiple times that it was 'his fault'... for listening to Swagginz. So Phil can admit fault, so long as the implication there is that someone else fucked up, and it was Phil's fault only in the sense that he trusted someone else, and had he trusted his infallible self, it would have been fine. It's amazing how he can seem so calculated in his narcissism, but it's probably all just knee-jerk. It's like watching a talented artist work, the poetry just comes naturally.

It's so nuts how much mental gymnastics he goes through to not be blamed for stuff. I really want to know where this blame game started to become such a habit for him growing up. Isn't he an only child too? I could see blame games being a big part with siblings growing up, but as an only child it might have come from public schools I guess?

It's funny because of the clip that was made in this thread shows Phil running away reloading his G.launcher and gets trampled then IMMEDIATELY blames Swagginz on why he died. Had nothing to do with Swagginz's help with the stun rifle shit he suggested, but Phil's own fault of getting trampled.

Don't feel like trying to dissect two morons getting into a semantics war. Phil wanted the easy 100% foolproof way of defeating the boss like he was speedrunning and failed to even use any part of his brain to figure it out himself. After watching the full clip further, I notice Phil did use some of Swagginz strat by stunning the boss and shocking him. Then followed by

"Gottem."

Then immediately starts clapping. I don't feel like watching the rest because of how stupid the situation was. Phil totally beat the game himself guys.

does it even matter, phil couldve played it cool, had a good time with it. maybe a few jokes. but instead decided to shit on swagginz and once again make sure everyone knows hes intelligent and always right

Phil really is a puffed up pipsqueak of a man, scared of the world and his own shadow. He really is like Arnold Rimmer in Red Dwarf.

 

[Vivica A. Fox]

Wow, that swaggins fight. Phil has no scruples at all about turning on anyone, even friends and supporters.

 

[Kermit the Frog]

The slapfight with Wagginz being uploaded to YouTube destroys yet another one of Phil's narratives: he has separate audiences on YouTube and Twitch. I was thinking back to a couple weeks ago when Wings of Redemption showed up in Phil's chat and Phil made the effort (for once in his life) to refer to "him" while he was recording for YouTube and then called him Wings when he stopped recording, going on a rant about how people watching on YouTube don't know who Wings is so they wouldn't have any idea what's being talked about. Does Phil not realize that all he does is upload his stream to YouTube? It's the same fucking content, the only difference being he doesn't upload the chat to YouTube. He doesn't play the game again without any references to things happening on Twitch. So the YouTube audience is perfectly okay with all the cheers and tips being talked about that they can't see, and they're also okay with Phil reading a chat that they can't see to figure out what's happening (especially when there's an actual argument going on), but they'll be horribly confused by simply acknowledging another streamer? Alright then, makes perfect sense, dood.

Yo what’s going on with the troll whispers between swagginz and that guy he unbanned? There’s no way that didn’t get back to dark, that’s either a demod or severe tongue lashing, I refuse to believe he would just let any of his mods get away with unbanning a troll who would make fun of his beautiful girlfriend

Once the money stops, fucks go out the window. Every top paypig think they're the exception, that they're the special one because of how Phil treats them. Till they stop giving money too and learn.

Fucking Swagginz blatantly unbans an out and out troll, but I’m permabanned and can’t even get a response from Fagginz after I said OtakuSkull’s artwork was complete shit.

>implying he gives a fuck about Kat

When he went after swaggins he first said "I dunno if he got banned or not, cuz he just insulted me twice". Dude didn't mock DSP about shit. He insulted Kat. But how does he interpret it? As a slight against him. Only later does he refer to it as insulting his girlfriend.

She's just an accessory to him, and every time he gets pissed on her behalf he comes off as completely fake.

A Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did...

You deserved it.

Wow, that swaggins fight. Phil has no scruples at all about turning on anyone, even friends and supporters.

I can already hear him talking about the Swagginz lore in a couple of years:

"So yeah, Swagginz started slandering me out of nowhere, okay? He used to be a good and loyal friend of mine, but he turned on me all of a sudden. I later heard that detractors also played a small role in this, because OF COURSE they did, as usual, but he should've known better, y'know? I can't have that negativity in my life, I just can't, so I cut ties with him. And it turned out that was a VERY smart decision on my part, because not long after that he started the detractor group we now all know as the Swaggs of Kojima, who have been HARASSING me ever since, and are currently trying to get me kicked off of Stream.me.*SNORT*"

 

[Forbidden Math]

I was waiting for the swaggins detractor saga for a while, looks like it has begun. Phil's top paypigs are always destined to fall, just like any best friends or lovers, it's only a matter of time until the pig tries to bite mommy.

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

Hope chat slows down on the handholding because even Phil will snap at a mod throwing money at him just to try and help him out with a game. It's pretty entertaining watching him struggle with games when you know he is constantly checking chat for help and everyone is talking about Pizza Hut.

 

[Surly Muppet]

The slapfight with Wagginz being uploaded to YouTube destroys yet another one of Phil's narratives: he has separate audiences on YouTube and Twitch.

True, but notice how he handled this. He kept mocking what Swagginz wrote, at one point even only reading out half of it, which is why Swagginz kept demanding he read the whole thing. To the Youtube audience who can't see Swagginz, it would be conceivable that Phil received bad advice and the failure they just witnessed would be because of that. However, when Phil blasted Swagginz at the end because he failed to ban a troll, he made sure to do so after he cut the Youtube video.

Much like with Wings, Phil avoided the part that would potentially make him or his stream look bad (ineffective modding), but is fine including parts that would suggest Phil's mistakes were the chat's fault. As with anything, this is just control - Phil addresses what he feels makes him look good, but shuts down things that would make him look bad. Pesky detractors insist on restoring context that shows Swagginz' messages that really show Phil was being ridiculous, but don't watch those because they're compiled by stalkers. I think Phil actually is pretty calculated about what he opts to put in a Youtube video vs. what he does not. For example, his late pre-streams used to be interesting because he'd go apeshit, likely because he knew he wasn't uploading that one. That way the only people who will see it are the people who watch detractor videos... and they will out themselves when complaining about it.

Hope chat slows down on the handholding because even Phil will snap at a mod throwing money at him just to try and help him out with a game.

Keep in mind, the Minecraft guy has opted to start cheering Phil with instructions after writing him a whole guide on the forums that Phil refused to read... because it wasn't in cheer form. And Phil still chewed him out for counting blocks wrong. At this point, I believe most will continue and they'll just buy the narrative that they are supposed to help Phil, but if it doesn't work, it's their fault. What is left of Phil's audience seems to be mostly broken people.

 

[actually]

Aside from the Swagginz, anybody else notice that the hotly desired "Retrospective" has now been delayed from the 1st week of Feb to the "first half" of Feb? Huh. You'd think that with so many videos being just ape-shit flung at him ( ) he could do it just about any time now!

 

[Forbidden Math]

This whole "It's not greed I just want to keep what I got" line from Phil is really amusing to me. Phil buddy, you were living outside of your means, WELL outside of your means. For god's sake you were a basic level youtuber and you bought a BMW you never used, you still own a second residence. Just a really sleazy way to frame the whole situation and add to it that he's losing what he was getting paid due to various choices of his as well as a general decline in interest. Oh well, I guess everyone had better step up.

 

[Bryan Dunn]

So is Swagginz, dare I say, /OurMod/ now?

Yeah, wtf is up with that?

At first it was:

Then it became:

Now it is:


I haven't watched any of this week's pre-streams, but has he even mentioned the Retrospective Event as of late?

I notice he regularly can't get the titles right on the fucking games he's playing, either.

Phil's favorite Lantern

 

[NursezillaX]

"Sadly just getting views for a game on YouTube isn't enough to make ends meet anymore."

He talks like he's breaking his back in the coal mine to put food on the table for his kids.

Seriously, THIS is his problem right here. He acts as if he is owed this as a career, and any difficulties he encounters along the way is robbing him of that and, thus, some grave injustice. I don't know where the fuck he got it in his head that 'full-time schtreamer and YouTube-r' is somehow his birthright. Why? Because he did it 'first'?

Maybe the problem, Dave, is that a 'business' that relies solely on 'getting views on a game for YouTube' was NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE 'a way to make ends meet' and, even if it were? Certainly NOT as ones sole source of income with no Plan B! 'There never WAS a backup plan'.... Remember that line, Phillip?

Meanwhile, how many of the people he's 'outlasted' are now broke and dejected and how many recognized Let's Plays were a short-term, strike while the iron's hot source of income, and used their time doing so as a way to learn longer term, marketable skills? He acts like these people crashed and burned, and him still here begging after ALL these years is some kind of... win? Or, is the reality that these people could have gone out into things like editing, testing and designing, or a bunch of other peripheral jobs in the gaming industry?

This guy has done the same thing for TEN YEARS and he has not learned ONE new, useful skill that he could turn to at exactly a time like right now, where you are at the point of just having to grind out nickels from an incredibly finite and stagnant fan base on a daily basis.

Oh, well... Valedictorian, business owner, and 10-year legacy? I'm sure he knows best. I guess I'll go detract elsewhere...
