DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Salubrious]

He has no friends, his family is by his own words on their fuckin death beds, his girlfriend has the personality of a plank of wood, and he doesn't want children. This nigga is literally going to spend the next like 30-40 years of his life miserably alone with his only social interaction being the meaningless tweets he sends out at 2 in the morning. His existence is so god damn sad to step back and just look at.

That was one of the things (among the many others of course) that stuck out to me about the whole wedding subplot. He literally had nobody to invite to his own wedding except his parents. Maybe a couple aunts and uncles could have been invited. But even though he had a quicky courthouse/parent's house wedding to "save funds", he literally had nobody to invite even if he had wanted to. It's not like he even has acquaintances from his job.

I can't fathom how a 38-year-old man can have no friends in his life and is totally fine with that. And he's shown that he will drop his loyal paypigs at the first sign of trouble. That's just a sad existence.

 

[LiquidCancer]

Every content creator I know of online has other acquaintances who they interact with. From actually collabing on videos and doing regular streaming together down to as little as just tweeting support to each other and following them on twitch. DSP can't even do that. The only person at all he follows on Twitch is Kekon. The person he hates and will find any excuse to ignore. Ten plus years in the business. Zero contacts, zero friends, zero acquaintances. Miserable, just miserable.

Here is a perfect game for dsp. I saw this on twitter.

https://twitter.com/tinyBuild/status/1130476130576805890

Welcome to the world of Pathologic 2, a game about death, misery, and no happy endings.
Reserve your seat, the play begins May 23

But for our phil

Hm, he might be able to afford A Plague Tale for 45 Dollars but can not afford an indie game like pathalogic 2 which would be more useful than Mortal Kombat 11 and Team Sonic Racing. He should have played A Plague Tale and Pathalogic 2 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It would produce a lot of dead air and salt but it would be pretty funny.

 

[Scotsman]

Woah i missed that completely. Ok, yeah this idiot is a super fan. I've seen no trolling from him. @CodeCastiel what turned you into a paypig all of a sudden?

His name popped up on one of @actually's roundups back in March, so he's been giving Phil money since then at least.

 

[Anonymous Dimwit]

I feel like in another 15 years, he'll still be begging and streaming slouched over his gouty loveseat still playing video games badly.

I doubt he'll ever stop this

But...he promised Ma Burnell that in 10 years he'd start to look for another job! I guess he can still stream while looking for work dood *smug pig face*

 

[Mask_de_SMITH]

Could you imagine DSP in 10 years? Surely the soulmaid will have left him by then and he'll be nearing 50. Imagining an almost 50 year old man e-begging and talking shit about whoever the new wave of big content creators will be at the time is one of the saddest things I can imagine. Fuck just think in 20 years if Phil is still around we'll be getting begathons for his retirement funds.

I've said this for a while now, and I still believe this to be true:

DSP will spend the next 10 or 20 years playing video games on his musty ass couch and begging his fans for money. Phil's current lifestyle offers no guarantees for his future, because every single day he's on the brink of not being able to pay his bills or mortgage. He'll never get a real job that offers him financial safety, and it's because he doesn't want to. As much as he complains about not being able to pay his bills, dealing with detractors, and being recognized as an retard, this is the only life he knows and he's comfortable living that way.

He has no ambitions, not drive to become more than he is now. He won't ever leave his home, he won't ever look for a job, and if he ever does want to get a job, he'll want a managerial position because he thinks he's so fucking great, despite the fact that he has no experience in anything. So this is all he can do. He won't leave streaming because he can't leave, because he useless at everything he does and the real world is too scary for a manchild.

He's going to beg and beg until he finally does the world a favor and croaks. And on his eulogy, it'll read:

"Please send me tips so I can pay to cross the river sytx. I'll get taxed on bits and cheers."

He's gonna be an e-begger for the rest of his life. He'll be dead before he thinks to do anything else in his life.

 

[Synth]

Considering his current financial situation, I think he may resort to insurance fraud of some kind to fund his lifestyle. I'm sure he learned a few scams during his time as a loan shark.

He doesn't have balls enough to do that. DSP is a timid man, not a conniving schemer capable of working a system he's too lazy to research to discover how to exploit. Yes, he is a schemer who tells very obvious lies to manipulate the few people that give him money in the shadow of said lies, but he's not some grand scheme-having con artist.

He'd get caught red-handed attempting any kind of fraud. He's the type of person who'd buy a gas can and kerosene on his credit card a week before setting fire to his own property, and chuck it into the woods behind his home in an attempt to hide the evidence.

 

[Salubrious]

DSP has never invested a dime into his streaming business unless he absolutely had to play a new AAA release on opening day. He's had the same broken keyboard for years even though wireless keyboards are $20. He's had the same shitty computer for years after he bought a prebuilt lemon. I think during the "Best of 2018" stream he all but admitted that he probably hasn't updated his streaming software since the day he installed it. He's now begging for money to buy games directly because the tips, cheers, sub money, and Patreon money doesn't go towards buying new games.

Not only that, but DSP believes that he HAS to buy high-end everything. He could probably put together a decent streaming PC for under $1000 but he thinks he has to spend $3000. That $20 wireless keyboard is beneath him. He "can't afford" video editing software because he can't just buy something low end for $40 or buy Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 & Premiere Elements 2019 for $100; he only can buy some $250/month shit that they use to make Avengers or something. DSP will never take advantage of his PS Now account or buy a game on sale from the Playstation Store; everything has to be for those "first day views."

TL;DR: DSP will never invest a dime into his own business, and when he does he will spend way more than necessary for luxury items.

Edit: DSP will also never play a game twice unless he's selling a "redemption run." God of War was his #1 game of 2018, and the odds are above 80% that he never plays it again despite his "can't afford new games" begging. Red Dead Redempion 2, Spider-Man, any of the Assassin's Creed games, Nioh, Nier Automata, Splatoon, Breathe of the Wild, et cetera will never be played again. He probably literally has $10K+ worth of games that he COULD play, but will never touch again. But people are dying to watch his boring ass MLB 2019 "chill streams".

 

[FalsePositive]

I think it's Phil's literal narcissism that prevents him from taking advice, even when the advice is a net-positive and easy to accomplish. It's not hard to move your laptop over so you don't have to lean in manual chat, but because someone else came up with the idea, he cannot implement it. He's already the best and everything he does is correct, therefore any suggested change, however slight, must be from a brainless idiot.

 

[MeganDodgedABullet]

In ten years he could be the next Kitty Styles or whatever his name is.

 

[EmperorGoutatine]

The goutmachine is really cranky today, having spergouts and forcing people in the stream chat to apologize for being bored.

 

[SleepyNibba]

I cant believe hes playing the story mode of a racing game. Why not just go online, thats what everyone would want.

 

[Ptolemy]

He's such a boomer. He cares about his pride so much he spends hours on story mode to train so he doesn't get slapped online (even though thats exactly what happens regardless of the game).

 

[mollymawk]

haha, imagine if they made a TV show about Phil's life. They could call it "Phil" or something. About a balding, egotistical, pseudo-intellectual broadcaster who moves from the East coast to start a new life in Washington.

He is known to frequently make a fool out of himself, yet still retains a self-inflated view. His broadcasting career requires little effort, in fact it's basically just him talking about himself most of the time and recapping stories from his life. He really has no interest in meeting the people he talks to, however. He has no real friends since moving to the West coast, and lives a sheltered life in an overpriced fortress. His parents are not proud of his lifestyle, and are somewhat disappointed and ashamed of his behavior. Despite claiming to be heterosexual, many people speculate the man is a closet faggot. He was very different from the other kids growing up, and thusly hasn't developed in such a way to handle IRL confrontation. His broadcasting career, an 11-year legacy (seasons if you will), has earned him some obsessive fans, and people who hate his guts. Without having a lick of experience in the kitchen, the idiot had the bright idea of opening a restaurant, which of course flopped on the opening night.

Exactly. If he ends up taking advice like that and implements it, the other person technically "won". He won't ever admit the person being right. Later on he will implement it and claim he came up with it on his own through mental gymnastics.

Someone suggest a new way to organize his office? Nope it's fine the way it is and too much a hassle for him. Won't ever do it and it never occurs to him until someone suggests it, just so he can shut it down. Same with a new webcam. Won't do it. It would come straight out of his pocket and take his own initiative. Unless someone just straight up gifts him it.

 

[Dragoonism]

Black DSP reacting to being compared to Phil!

 

[Comma]

I just started watching the stream, and literally the first thing I see/hear, is DSP complaining about the majority of his chat being dicks to him.

Spoiler

-edit- Oh wow, he's still doing the story mode, playing against the AI? No wonder people are bored out of their minds. Jesus Christ...

-edit2- And he clocked out 7 minutes early, calling the stream really slow and "a bad one" in terms of contributions, even though he received:

- $29 in cheers ($12 from infinite_55)
- $45 from 18 subs (11 gifted, 6 by infinite_55)
- $16 in tips

Total: $90 in rougly 6 hours.

Won't help his "behind the scenes" stuff, so that's probably why he was so pissy.

I actually think he's going for the more expensive managed hosting that includes the forum software built in, since he's claimed he's spending "thousands" of dollars a year on it.

So I noticed his shitty little footer has the typical Powered by Invision Community.
If you go to their site and look at pricing, it's quite high.
