So finally getting around to watching Ask the Manchild. DSP talks about a weed whacker potentially being heard outside and says "they weren't even supposed to be doing that, they were supposed to be doing that yesterday, I have no idea who that even is but". This is an interesting sentence fragment but if he is pretending to not know who is outside weed whacking after saying that he knows they should have done it yesterday...

What I'm saying is do you think DSP has a lawn care service he pays for? Does it come with his WAKhando? I wonder how many of his whales have lawn care services?

It's more than likely taken care of by his HoA

Random: has anyone ever worked out just where all DSP's money from the boom times went? Is it all sunk in the condo? Like, besides that and his leased BMW, it doesn't seem like his tastes are that expensive. He eats cheap food and drinks cheap booze. He had what, a few thousand dollars' worth of figures and maybe another few thousand of DVDs? He bought plenty of games obviously, but wasn't he formerly in the habit of selling them back to GameStop? In general he seems to overpay for the commonplaces of life, but not to the extent that hundreds of thousands of dollars would go up in smoke. So... what gives?

You know what I kind of love about this? Imagine the cash he would have saved if he had actually put the smallest bit of effort into PC gaming. I'm not the sort of asshole who thinks everyone who owns consoles is stupid, I own some, but by and large PC gaming makes more sense economically for someone who plays games for a living, doesn't it? A good PC can run you maybe 2k nowadays, less if you cut some of the fluff out and just get what you need (cheap case, 8gigs instead of 16 of ram, not bother with an SSD, etc) or go for cheaper options of what you do need. The PC i use for gaming currently is almost 10 years old and still works great for most games and I spent maybe a bit over 1k on it.

If we just look at what consoles ran him since starting:
PS3 20 gig(cheaper option than 60gig): 499$
Xbox 360: 399$
Wii U: 299$
PS4: 399$
Xbox 1: 499$
Switch: 299$

I'm not counting peripherals or the Wii since I don't know what he bought for them or if he had a Wii, but napkin math here, - taxes of course comes out to 2394$ just in consoles. Those are effectively dead for his business once the new consoles come out, unless he plans on being the sort of streamer who hunts down obscure older games for these past consoles, which he's not. HE could take that same money, lets just round up to 2.4k, and have got a fuckin nice rig that would have lasted ages. All he's getting with these consoles are a few console exclusives every gen, and when was the last time he played one of those?

As for games: like above, most games release on PC as well as systems, only a few come to mind that don't, primarily games like NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB and I think Fifa. If those are games that are interesting to you, buy a console that has the exclusives that you want and that you'll get mileage out of. The fucker barely plays his Xbox 1, so why have it? Even better, Windows 10 supports most Xbox 1 games now and you can play them if you have the OS installed. Looking at that recently on the Microsoft site, you'll see it's for about 189$ for the home version. Less than the Xbone. Then you have store fronts like steam which have massive fire sales every weekend it seems for games large and small. That and the bounty of indie games that steam is crawling with. This is all assuming that he has his hands tied in legally acquiring the games and doesn't just pirate them for free, which is easy as fuck on PC and literally everyone does.

He claims to have built gaming PCs which i don't think anyone believes, but let's assume he did. He has experience putting this shit together, which isn't particularly hard to do, so why not go to a local computer store, fuck even Best Buy would be able to help him out with this, explain what he needs, what he wants to spend, and even get a refresher on how to put the rig together if he needs to. Literally maybe a couple hours of work here cumulative. The money he would save over the course of years is ridiculous, it's why so many variety streamers shell out for a solid PC.

But I'm making the assumption that he thought about that. I'm making the assumption that this shut in manbaby didn't just take the laziest route possible regardless of money and quality and frankly long term ease, and didn't just latch on to this is what I'm going to do, I'm always going to do it.

Like I said, I'm not the sort of guy who looks down on console owners. To me, it makes sense that if you aren't big into games, or are only interested in certain games on a certain console, buy the console and enjoy it. I own a PS4 to play with some people like that as well as exclusives I'm interested in. I'm not trying to run a business based around video game streaming though, so what do I know? I'm probably just a mentally ill virgin kid.

At least i know what 8+5 is though.

I know it's just a thumbnail, but notice the postures. In the Leanna shot he's standing straight and she's leaning in to him (which shows a lot of affection of course), meanwhile in the Kat thumbnails it really looks like Kat is just standing there while DSP leans in... Make of it what you will.

At least in the D$PxPanda photo they are both touching each other. Mrs. D$P isn't touching D$P at all. You can see both her hands and neither of them are touching him.

Well okay, but that's still not free. He pays for that HoA and it is likely a considerable amount. I guess the question I should be asking is I wonder how many of his whales have HoAs.

Two. Two HOAs, one for each condo, at around $350 each every month. Paying $8k a year to get his lawn mowed and trash picked up.

What if this is going to be when he actually does that dumbass interview? Like, do the interview for an hour or whatever, and then fuck off to dinner instead of doing a 2nd stream,

How convenient that this is working out to roughly 1-1.5 hours when he would normally stream...

DSP will stop his streams because he hears a random truck driving through his neighborhood and peer out his window like a schizophrenic. A box truck is loud. Also, presumably DSP would need to buzz them through the gate, unless his gated community isn't actually secure.

This is a lie.

How did hambone stream? He just said like 2 days ago he was struck by kotaku (I think) and lost streaming priviledge for a month or so.

(Jesus FUCK he's STILL screeching & pissing himself about this bike? Amazing.)

I'm sure that, no, I'm not missing something, he's just a fucking compulsive liar & tantrum-launching rètard. And you guys are probably right about this being his being a diversion, but in the abstract, how does he see a difference between going deadair midstream for like 20m max to handle this shit, & every day when he does it after announcing he's gotta go take a shit?

But I've already answered my own question so I guess never mind. God he's insufferable.

Why wouldn’t he just have the company’s drivers call him when he gets to his house? Whenever I order food at work I tell them to give me call because I’m on the 2nd floor and won’t know their here....I don’t order food then sit by the door for 30-40 minutes like a guard dog...if pizza delivery drivers can get making a phone call right I think professional movers can figure out how to call dark when he’s outside.

This dude is so fucking ♿️ It’s incredible, imagine telling a bunch of children you can’t play video games for them because you HAVE to wait by the door for hours.

Annnnd stream is cancelled.

Questions to ask (WITHOUT ATTACHING MONEY TO IT) tomorrow:

1) "Why couldn't Kat meet the truck?"
2) "Couldn't you have left your window open and listened for the big truck, then stepped away from stream for a few minutes?"
3) "What'd you have for dinner?" -- Let's see if he remembers it was supposed to be pot pie.
4) "Was Quartering fair with his questions?" or "How'd the interview go?"

Edit: Tangentially related, but it's funny as fuck. The twitter account he keeps tagging? They haven't done any tweet or reply since the end of 2017. So it's even more useless than usual :lol:
