DSP doesn't know what this thing does, but he obviously knows that trolls will use it to insult him and his wife?

I feel like DSP says some variant of this at least once per month: him explicitly stating he doesn't know what something is but intuitively he knows it won't work.

Also, what the fuck? How did Kat get involved in this?

That's how terrified of human interaction DSP is; anything that he can't heavily censor MUST be a troll idea.
There must be some 'behind the scenes' reason why he gets triggered about his wife so much recently
 
I've watched like 5 minutes, and maybe my opinion is unfairly soured, but this doesn't feel like DSP is exploring a new game. This feels like DSP is in clock killing mode 10 minutes into a "4 hour session." Which isn't new, but he already looks bored.

Edit: Someone tipped him and said that DSP should collab with other streamers. DSP's response was that he would like to, but other streamers wouldn't as "the trolls would follow them back."

Has it really been that long since DSP blatantly ignored Wings in his own chat?
 
Stream chat has been slow as fuck. Reason for DSP to start complaining about his viewers/interaction:


















'Stream chat is very slow and no one's talking to me, so I don't know what's going on. I dunno if it crashed or if people are not being interactive YET AGAIN when I play this game. I can't MAKE people talk to me. There's literally nothing going on in stream chat right now. I dunno if it died on my laptop, let's see... NO, now someone said something! See!? I knew it! What's going on!?'

What's going, dear Philip, is that the 350 or so viewers are bored as fuck of your typical I-will-describe-everything-happening-on-screen-as-if-my-audience-is-visually-handicapped style of commentary. But hey, it's probably not your fault, nothing you could do.
 
Phil has played through the first 2 Borderlands games before. He should know it's up to him to carry the stream as the humor only comes out while you're doing missions. Since he sucks at games and is going through them all really....slowly...., the humor is only taking longer to come out. Also sometimes it's just not funny, DSP himself is struggling to go duhuhuhuhuh.
 
Can someone explain to me why some thot is hosting Phil?
I'm confused, is she trying to get attention or is she actually unaware?

Is he kidding with the chat extension. Literally the only thing chat can do is spawn in people in stream chat and items to help the streamer, if they aren't terrible. It is LITERALLY Gearbox handing streamers a free interaction tool. How. . .how does this guy slot EVERYTHING into some conspiracy to bring him down.

And I haven't found BL3 grindy at all. It is loot-shooting at it's most basic and glorious. If you can not have a fun interactive stream with the Twitch extension and the game itself then it's not your chat. . .it's 100% you.

Also the game is huge. He could bleed this game for a long time if he actually wasn't afraid of interacting with people. Endgame is essentially Diablo 3 and that is before any of the DLC has dropped; an entire stream could be him and his viewers attemping the Arenas or the Proving Grounds. But sure. . .let's just treat this as a single player experience and grind our way through to the end.
 
Checking back on this shithole, what kind of "life changing/threatening" emergency is he in now? Knowing him it's always something that he needs donations in order to overcome.

MUH BILLS, DOOD. Seriously, that's it. Just bog-standard "bills", by which he means funding every part of his excessive, yet somehow mindbogglingly boring life.
 
That whole interaction is just fucking kino DSP.

"Hey Phil, why not try this thing where viewers can interact with the game/stream?"

"Uh no!"

10 minutes later

"Uhhhh is the stream chat broken? No one is interacting with me!"

"Interaction" must be heavily controlled by DSP in a way he can figure out with zero effort and must only be to talk about him or to help him playing the game.

Talking about the NFL getting excited for tomorrow? Banned for derailing chat.

Talking about Clash of Champions (WWE) tomorrow? Banned for derailing chat.

Talking about Judgment? Too late dood, we already played it.

Talking about literally anything other than DSP; STOP DERAILING CHAT!




This is maybe the "worst" example I can think of for how petty it was:

From DSPGaming (sorry Youtube search-fu couldn't find a non DSPGaming video).

A guy cheered something about DSP playing online or asking how online play was after DSP just beat the single player campaign of Smash Brothers Ultimate.

DSP's response? "Yes Derek, I got your cheer but it's kind inappropriate to talk about online play when we're watching the credits of the single player, no?"

Yes, DSP chastised a fan for talking about a different mode of the same game he was currently playing. After he had just finished it. "We're watching the credits!"

Is there a possibility that Phil is living in a Truman show type set up and every single pay pig is a detractor looking to slowly sway the course of season. How many times can a mysterious whale show up, the writers have used that same plot device so many times now! Can't they think of something new?
Funny you mention that. I was actually trying to explain DSP to someone who knew nothing about him the other day. I described him as someone who used to be in a voluntary form of the Truman Show, but now regrets his decision and is doing everything to hide his personal life.
 

















'Chat is dead and I don't know why! I don't know why! People love chill streams - this is like a chill stream! But people don't wanna fucking treat it like a chill stream! They just sit there and say nothing or don't watch, it's just weird, man. I don't get, I really don't get it! People say: "I want new stream material." Okay, here's a chill stream. "Oh this is boring!" What the fuck's the point of the chill stream!?

See, I don't understand, because people can play this and it's fine! Right!? People play this on Twitch and no one complains.
-I play it: "the game's boring", "you're not doing co-op!"
-So then I do co-op: "oh, when you're doing co-op you're not talking with us!"
-So then I don't do co-op: "oh. well the game is boring!"
I can't win! I don't know what to tell you guys, I really don't! I don't know what the fuck to tell you guys! I like the game, I think it's fun.'


The entitled manbaby is strong with this one.

100% attention.

--------------------------------------------------

-edit- Remember DSP saying just hours ago he wanted chat to keep up the discussions and that he wanted to make the stream less about him playing the game? Well, his chat was getting spammed, with people reacting to it and the chat being more lively than it had been all stream:

BL3 spam.PNG

Instead of just rolling with the "meme" like 99 out of 100 streams would do, this is his reaction:


















'People are complaining I missed a spam message. Guess what: I was playing this thing called A VIDEO GAME. It's very intense with a lot action. I can't exactly read while I'm also playing that game. Just saying, y'know. It's kinda tough to do that, multi-tasking.'

Wants chat to spice up the stream.
Claims he doesn't notice chat being spammed for minutes on end.

He's being such an insufferable cunt today. Amazing.

Has he even done co-op in Borderlands 3?

No, he has been talking his way out of doing that for the past couple of weeks, using all kinds of autistic reasons. One of them is that his audience supposedly doesn't like him doing co-op because he's not able to interact with chat that much during it.

He is so bitchy today. I wonder if Jasper scratched his leg again and kept him waking up all night. This is just beyond being "usual" DSP today

No, and it doesn't sound like he plans to. He did it for Borderlands and at least for the Borderlands 2 DLC that was supposed to bridge it to 3. Don't know anything about the former, but the latter was when one of his co-op partners was the highlight by basically yelling everything he said. Basically, he doesn't want to be outshone by more entertaining people (read: pretty much anyone).

He's been fall short of most of the tip goals. B3 also hasn't exactly brought the house down in terms of huge waves of new viewers, so he's probably pissy about that too. He genuinely expects to be able to just play a AAA game and have money showered upon him for no extra effort.
 
Dark is so fucking ♿️ When it comes to his stream chat and “interactions”

You can’t talk about anyone else on the site
You can’t talk about anything that he doesn’t have an opinion on(which is basically everything under the sun except food and older movies or wrestling)

All he wants you to talk about is the game(and keep it superficial because chances are he doesn’t have a strong opinions on the game yet unless it’s negative) and ask him the same questions people have asked a thousand times.

What he still seems to not understand is that most streamers real fans don’t give a shit about what games being currently played, they show up because of the streamer they like, and dark either refuses to talk about himself or is a fucking stump in terms of personality.

Phil desperately needs to do some homework and watch some other streamers, but I think the real reason he never does isn't that he's too busy, it's that he finds himself wholly inadequate when comparing himself to anyone else. Joel from Vinesauce can stream 16 hours of Desert Bus over a weekend and keep thousands of people on stream with stories and goofs. Phil himself is bored within a minute of watching every single gameplay video in his retrospectives, and can't even figure out why anyone else ever enjoyed them.

But like you said, since meeting Kat, Phil has no opinions or stories to tell anymore. For all he tells us he streams, sleeps, and sits in silence every single day except when he's getting groceries and paying bills. That's fucking boring. So he buys a cat as a prop to make himself seem more interesting, but he interacted more with the beanie babies.

Phil used to say watching his videos was like sitting on the couch with a friend having a good time together. Now it's like visiting a grandparent in a nursing home who only talks about 10 years ago because they get mean if they try to think about the present.

I think those reasons for why he has nothing to share is because he's trying to "protect the family". He does go out, he does see shit but refuses to share it because he's so paranoid that people will catch on that he goes out more than he says, or finds out where he's spending cash at. He can't say he saw some guy do something dumb the other day at a certain location because that just ruins his "I'm poor" narrative.

That's interesting, I've never seen that clip before. I like how he talks about disrespect (seriously, what the actual fuck?) when he used to sing about sex and shit and piss during game credits (IDK if he still does this but it was always just peak autism). Not surprising he was wary about playing a fighting game online though, he's always humbled whenever he does.
 
stream 16 hours of Desert Bus
For the unaware, Desert Bus is an interesting piece of history. The very TL;DR is, drive a bus that veers right on a straight road for eight hours in real time, to score exactly one point.

This is, naturally, as fucking boring as it sounds. That someone can play this and retain an audience is impressive. That, or that there's a lot of sadism and masochism going on, which is why a group yearly plays it for charity. The more donated, the longer they drive.

But picture if you will, Davey P on the sticks for this. Full potato mode for 8 hours. Can't even lean in manual ban or he might wreck the bus. Won't make life easier by turning on TTS to hear "contributions." No Catherine on the couch to pass off to for his regularly scheduled shit break. Just raw, honest Dave for 8 goddamned hours, having to actually entertain on his own.
