DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Cyber Bowling]

It probably is the case that Phil's parents don't have a lot of money saved up, most likely enough to live comfortably as they don't seem like the type of people who do a whole lot of traveling or are big spenders (if only they taught their worthless son the value of a dollar). What they have saved in the bank/stashed in the safe doesn't really matter because Phil is just going to sell their house and everything else of value when they're dead and that'll give him some decent money. There are also life insurance payouts that Phil will eventually be the beneficiary of. Phil isn't going to get some huge inheritance, but it won't be pittance either.

I was actually going to post the same thing, but then I stopped when I got to the house part because I'm genuinely not sure if Phil would be too lazy to sell the house and just let it turn into another condo situation. There's no shortage of reasons why he should, but Phil also isn't known for making logical decisions, least of all when they involve any effort on his part, no matter how much long term gain there is. If Phil doesn't get rewarded immediately, he sees no point in doing it.

Anyway, I think barring any sort of freak accident, it isn't something that will come up for a long time. His parents aren't that old and I think if they had legitimate health issues, Phil would be bringing it up at every turn instead of having to make up vague health related issues that he ultimately denies minutes (sometimes seconds) later. We also know he has no problem bringing up other people's health issues, so he wouldn't be holding back based on any privacy concerns.

Nothing they could do.

2) The husks will be donated to the local community college medical department to avoid funeral costs.

Nothing they could do.

there may be some jest
but i can totally see phil having his parents cremated and "losing" them somewhere all the while snorting "should have got me that wolverine toy you bitches"

Do Phil's folks own their home? Do they have a mortgage or maybe they got a reverse mortgage? Phil can't sell something he doesn't own.

Yeah they own it. I've looked up how much they pay in property tax.

You need to spend some time in the Midwest my friend.

A "lick" of something means that you didn't even come close to tasting it, a lick of sleep sounds fine to me, but I'm originally from Ohio.

God willing and the creek don't rise.

Ohio born and raised, my friend. Still haven't heard it.

Well that don't make a lick o' sense.

Also Ohio checking in. Its Midwest as fuck and not common because it makes you sound like a 70 year old (Phil is) but its definitely a thing.

Just one year ago to the day he took time off for something, and now he is sick and is returning in near the exact same time span.

I don't think it's the anniversary because the year before the tweet above he was streaming as normal, and it's clearly not the birthday as per the date she had on her twitter.

Thought's to what it could be since you can probably rule out anniversary/birthday?

Dunno, but it's looking pretty good that he's gonna take a 3 day vacay: https://twitter.com/TheyCallMeDSP/status/1128880208830816257

 

[N0thingICanDo]

We maybe looking at him taking a 3 straight day vocation guys

Of course he will not give up the Friday Off day even though he may take 2 straight days off, even though his bank account is overdrawn and he needs to stream to make money,

Because the bottom line is he needs to SPEND MORE MONEY on his and the horse' haircut and he cant lose that appointment to get the buzzcut done to hide his bald spot

OK, I made a thread for this latest spell of sickness: "The Sickening II".

I'm barely awake. Hopefully the insinuations I presented about how the dates are connected make sense and/or aren't foggy-headed non-sense

Damn, the sub-drop is real: down to 470 at the moment. [https://decapi.me/twitch/subcount?channel=darksydephil]

And those include 35 gifted subs he received the past two weeks already. Which imho is a prettty insane amount, looking at the more-boring-than-usual content he has been putting out the past two to three weeks:

- savescumming his way through Donkey Kong 3
- playing MLB on beginner's difficulty
- MK11: either toxic multiplayer or boring play-against-the-AI streams or dumb lobbies
- Phoenix Wright that not many people care about and with horrific voice acting
- the low-effort BLOPS 4 Blackgout and Minecraft streams
- the meh Days Gone streams, a game he wanted to avoid, killing any hype surrounding it
Not his fault, though: his streams are uninteresting (for the unironical viewer anyway) because of factors outside of his control. Nothing he could do.

If he's not going to stream today because of the sudden Ebola outbreak at his house AND take the planned day off tomorrow, who knows what he'll end up with in a couple of days?
Either way, Infinite_55 really needs to step up to not let his master down and keep those gifted subs rolling in, but we all know he will. It's actually pretty amazing this dude still hasn't realized he's trying to empty the ocean with a thimble. I really wonder when he'll finally see the light.

Phils on his way out. Hopfully within next two years. we can dream

I'm not among the moneybugs who track it, but hasn't the last few weeks constituted a dip in his average earnings? He shored it up with Ma Burnell's bailout and Twitch paying out two checks in close succession... but after that, doesn't he have to reap all this current absenteeism? Because it doesn't seem like post-matrimony Dave is keeping the last plate spinning very well.

In short, you're correct (at least for now).

 

[Eugene Drizzledick]

Phil had a couple $100+ days with the ProJared stuff and the first day of Rage was another $100+ overall. I think he's doing around what he usually does. (actually knows better than I do, nm)

Of course, he'll beg and whine about missing these 3 days this week, because that rotten evil detractor Kat, HIS WIFE, made him sick.

In short, you're correct (at least for now).

This little exchange makes me curious about what he considers to be acceptable. There was a small conversation somewhere on these boards like a week ago or so about what DSP's "break even" point for a day is, what he would need to make "per hour" in order to sustain his lifestyle, with this number taking in to account his subscriptions, patreon, hypothetical YT revenue, etc.

It's interesting for me to think about where he draws the line for what he considers slow. It seems like as long as he gets $60 or more on a stream, he's okay with it? Now inside he's probably raging and wants those $100 day streams constantly, but I think he's realized he can't keep bitching out his chat about not giving him money because it's a bad look. For night streams, it seems he's fine with $25-30 and upwards. Also, I am talking about bits as well, because I'm not one of those weirdos who pretend his bits money doesn't exist because he doesn't get it right away.

I know people have made attempts to figure out what his expenses are (though we have no clue about his debt or if he has/hasn't decided to stop paying the CT khando yet along with other shit), and it would be an astoundingly hyperbolic exercise in which to engage, but I feel like he has an internal calculator and a "maintainable" number he wants to hit where he covers all his expenses and puts maybe $20/day away.

Those days were good for him but the days surrounding them were subpar. I believe it balances but overall he is trending downwards. He doesn't have a lot of big new games and his main whales are dropping less coin. Phil taking these few days off because he is feeling financially flush in the moment shows how short sighted he is.

I don't get this. Pretending bits don't count is fun if you're trying to make fun of Phil, but it really pushes his narrative of him not making a lot of money and needing more. Detractors like giving him money I guess.
