DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[JimiHendrix]

Oh, that I agree with, that it's the basic level at which Phil operates: "Anything that harms me is bad", as I mentioned already. But that's not direct stupidity - there is no difference between what is or isn't moral for others and for you from a logical standpoint - that's a lack of introspection and/or reflection in general. One could argue that is a facet of stupidity, not to really think about one's actions too much, to some extent, but it doesn't mean he'd be unable to see how morally bankrupt he is if he got around to it.

Again, though, there were definitely cases when I think he genuinely didn't see how d#ckish what he was doing was, but they don't explain it all. He has it both: The stupidity and the hypocrisy, truly an overachiever.

I try my best not to apply logic to Phils actions. I fully understand what you mean about morality and logical stand point. But Phil doesn't at all act in a logical manner. Never has.

Really, I so badly want to wish that upon Dave's last dying breath he commands Kat to "Open my books to the people, only then shall they see" then he winks and dies. The books go back to 2010 and list in detail exactly how he grifted so much money. What works, what doesn't. Little notes in the margin like '$2000 cat was too obvious. Remember to take more frequent, smaller bites rather than all at once.'

And then we'll all go DAMN IT HE GOT US!

oh its time for "I cant wait to be king" The stage the devs made super hard on purpose so people who rented the game couldnt beat it within the rental period.

Oh they chose Shyamalan for the last season ?

 

[SojiroSakura]

He got triggered by someone calling him a clown for singing, now he refuses to sing.
Normally I'd advise against troll tipping, but him stopping his annoying traits as soon as someone mentions it is really funny to see.

All I'll be looking for in those books is the reason why. Why would he be driven to beg so hard, for so long and for so much? What did he need all those thousands of dollars for? Was it frivolity? Vanity? Fear of real responsibility? Pure greed and simple desire for "more"? Why would he lower himself so much?

 

[actually]

Looks like "bryan_whitaker0" is the newest mini-whale (guppy?) with 22 gifted subs and a $17 tip.

Edit: Also, apparently saying "speed run strats" over and over is Phil's joke of the night.

 

[Prince Lotor]

I don't buy that he didn't intend to have that effect. What I'm saying is he doesn't see anything morally wrong in doing that or why it's a bad thing to do.




I mean another example, he once said he couldn't possibly have been speeding in his car, because the photograph the camera sent him showed he wasn't moving. Like iunno, I always thought for scam artists they had to intentionally have a plan, to set something up. Where as Phil always gave me the impression he just kinda says shit and hopes for the best.

Like phil isn't running a pyramid scheme or doing John Constantine levels of cons. He just kinda whines and people throw money at him.

I mean maybe I'm just underestimating his intelligence. But you also have to consider my point of view. I watched him run around in an empty graveyard in Bayonetta for twelve minutes because he couldn't figure out how to leave after a cutscene showed him how. Combine that with literally 10 years of similar events and he's kinda the dumbest mother fucker I've ever seen.

Okay, so, before any consideration about his intelligence, I want that clip of him talking about the photo. It sounds absolutely hilarious.

But to be more serious, I think he just thought it showed him parked or something. Someone who cannot understand the concept of a photo being by definition still, is not able to function. Not that Phil functions much, but we're talking people who receive disability checks for it, here. As to the Bayonetta thing, he probably just missed the cinematic's point - and as usual, whined and cried instead of putting more efforts towards finding the solution. I remember seeing it, but Jesus, I didn't remember it was twelve minutes - mind you many DSP Tries It probably fast forwarded/skipped it, for very understandable reasons.

Like, yeah, Phil is stupid, but there's a difference between what we commonly call stupidity, and the medical condition (Mental exceptionalism) that cripples people and prevents them from understanding what are very basic aspects of life. Beyond that, Phil is not incapable of understanding morality, because as I said, he's proven the contrary; If he was not capable of understanding what is moral or not, he would not be able to spot immorality in others, something he regularly does, criticizing people for lying, profiting off his work, and such.

Not to say he is right when he does so, but the flaw usually lies within his logic and not his moral interpretation of it. He's not right saying Tevin is getting money off his back, but that's because he doesn't realize the people who watch Tevin would never give him money, and doesn't want to concede Tevin puts at least as much effort as him in his stream, realistically, more. From his - erroneous - point of view, Tevin is indeed immoral, because to him, he just gets money tuning in, re-streaming to people who could totally be his fans, dood, and letting the cash earned supposedly doing nothing roll in.

I got you fam. Also before the timestamp (1m48s) Phil is describing how he knows he can't see and is going to have to get glasses just to pass the Washington license test and then not wear them ever again "just like I did in high shcool" !!!!

"You can see in the picture that I'm at a dead stop" yeah that's the good shit. But I also remembered him actually showing the photo? Like standing in his living room with the picture? Did I just Astral Project for that or

There is something deep between Phil and cars, because goddamn do they bring the exceptionalism out of him, virtual or not. He almost sounds like one of those sovereign citizen people, trying to argue the photo don't prove anything.

Random question...did the original Lion King (on SNES) have regenerating health over time?

Vanity? Fear of real responsibility? Pure greed and simple desire for "more"? Why would he lower himself so much?

Honestly, I could see how it happened. He was making the kind of money that is normally paid to a guy like me who holds a few big brain degrees in IT and has worked in a specialized sector for 2 decades - except he was playing video games, and not even playing them well.

Then he falls off a cliff from on top to on life support. It's basic instinct - self-preservation.

It ticks all the boxes.

• He feels like he is special and above reproach because he was a 1% on YouTube and was treated special.
• He doesn't know how it happened, but he knows he's earned it. Otherwise he wouldn't have climbed so high, right?
• His brain retcons things and he's not even consciously aware he's doing it.
• He honestly believes that his downfall was the detractors. As in, we all made a compact years ago to pick this guy and fuck his life up.
• He believes all that shit he says - it's online lag, he was pressing the button, he didn't say that, he never did that, he's innocent

Of all the streamers I'm aware of, he's the least woke. Wings knows he's living on borrowed time and he needs the troll tips. Tonka knew it was up on fight night. Jim knows his time came and went. Even null is drifting out of the limelight - the content just isn't what it once was.

But Dave honestly doesn't know he's bad. he'd pass a lie detector test he's so sure. It would be sad if he wasn't such a god damn asshole about it all.

Random question...did the original Lion King (on SNES) have regenerating health over time?

Of course not. Bugs restored health or roar while other bugs increased it permanently (I think)

 

[actually]

Of course not. Bugs restored health or roar while other bugs increased it permanently (I think)

Thought not. Guess what the new version does?

Edit: Nevermind. I was looking at the wrong status bar.

Edit 2: For some reason, Phil is full clown mode right now.

Edit 3: With 37 gifted subs today, Phil has passed 700 subs, so he can now do whatever shitty "event" he came up.

[James Smith]

I literally do not watch and have no opinion on Tevin (and that goes for on down the restreamer roster for that matter) outside of it's aparent, from the contextual clues I gather in this subforum, that he's obsessed with Phil.

You mean the one "I hate Tevin" post a month from the same two accounts? You're reaching to extend your opinion to other people.

 

[KD6-3.7]

So, the last two nights we’ve had DSP at his most insufferable and irritating.

Modern Warfare, we get the DSP who makes ridiculous excuses for every. single. death. Who says “This game fucking sucks.” and “Fuck you, Infinity Ward.” and endless variations of those statements.

And then we get The Lion King stream... arguably even more irritating than the Modern Warfare stream. The embarrassing singing and humming. The constant “Dude I LOVE the music in this game!” And the over-the-top, loud-as-fuck “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” or “AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!” or “COME AHHHNNNNNNNNNNN!” I’ve seriously been trying to think of something I’ve seen that’s more cringe-inducing than what I saw last night. It’s just so goddamn fake and endlessly annoying.

How the fuck could anyone “enjoy” this utter garbage kahntent? This dude is almost 38 years-old and he’s singing along to Disney songs and acting like a completely moronic child with social and development problems.

 

[strandedcastaway]

Christ when is Dave going to learn he can't tard cum his new grift every other stream and expect it to keep paying out.

I get the feeling though that it we started tracking all of his new jerking off methods we'd probably see a gradual decline, almost the same as if he wasn't doing them to begin with. He's just to damn impatient.

Dude, he's been squeezing ridiculous amounts of money out of a small group of idiots for years and years. He does it because it works.

 

[Just_living]

I think the subs are reason why he was singing so much during the Lion King stream. If he loved the music so much wouldn't you let it play out, I doubt chiptuned Lion King music is in the Youtube ID system.

He should stop playing team based fps games in general. His KD ratio is around .8, which means in general he is a detriment to his team; his reaction time is awful, he doesn't pay attention to UI/maps, and he makes bad plays over and over. He was "good" at Modern Warfare back in the day because the game had 15 million player so he fits somewhere on the lower end of the scale but not the bottom. And on top of that he is outmatched as a streamer against anyone who puts the minimal amount of effort in their streams. Playing these multiplayer games is just showing how old and inept he is.

Stick to co-op with orbiters and putting single player games on pedestals to "pay muh bills and live my lifestyle".

 

[BabygotACKACKACK]

Shilling shilling shilling it’s gross!

 

[Very Honest Content]

I think Tevin mainly does it mainly because he makes a decent chunk of change off if it. 1500 concurrent viewers is kind of impressive, especially when you consider the context.

Which gets back to my point, that

... at least the paypigs are worth it though I guess for the guy?

I don't think Tevin is obsessed with Phil at all.

IIRC, Tevin tried to make non-DSP content on Twitch, and Phil still felt the need to push him off the site. At that point I'd "illegally" restream his shit too. Not like Phil left him a choice. By Bugs Bunny logic, and fuck you if you don't think this online piss sea of exceptionalism doesn't run on that kind of logic, Phil engineered his own enemy the moment Tevin tried to look away from Phil and Phil still wanted him gone.

At that point, even if I didn't make $1500 a stream off of him, I'd restream Phil's shit if only to counterpunch the asshole if I were Tevin.

I'm going to grant your recollections as accurate out of hand here for the sake of discussion of the point you're attempting to establish. So you see it as, one tries to ignore Phil, Phil refuses to bury the hatchet, so to prove how totally not obsessed he is with DSP, he doubles down on the live restreaming of Phil? I can not really buy that as being not obsessed, myself. Two to tango means they both can have a hateboner for each other in between stacking those donations off the exceptional individuals in their respective viewing audiences.

This Shenmue playthrough is the worst. It is so boring and he gets saved by 2 whales like usual.

I think even Phil kind of senses this and to compensate ups the cringe commentary as a result but yeah, I have no clue who this game is supposed to somehow entertain from what I've seen of it.

I remember watching something, where he was complaining about the govt expecting him to magically predict how ...paying an estimate, then making up the difference, or applying for a refund seems to be some alien concept to him

He can barely add tips to the stream total correctly a lot of the time, projections of income with any scale of variability attached to them probably make him crave a drink of gin from all the brainpower he has to burn to even begin to consider all the possibilities on that front.

He restreams dark like was less than half of his streams it seems. I don’t have an exact number ...There is that one channel that only restreams him but I have no idea if there’s even a person operating that when dark is live or if it’s a bot.

You kinda proved my original point though, you come in here talking out your ass about someone you apparently know nothing about and make the situation sound much worse than it is, which is why you could pass as a good phil or someone sipping his kool-aid

I was under the impression the dedicated restream channel is an automated bot handling the particulars there but someone had to set it up so there's a figure behind the curtain there too even if they've automated it as much as they can. I've already stated, I only know of the surrounding meta-autism orbiting DSP through contextual clues I pick up in the subforum here (and to less of an extent a few other sources it occasionally bleeds into) so I'm not sure why you would take anything I post as authoritative on most tangential topics discussed in here but, ok?

Shout out to the amount of times people thought one thing or another would be "the end of phil" and it failed!
Heres to another 5000 pages because he's not going anywhere since his life is running in place.

He's even losing weight from last year it looks like, see you at page 10K!

Honestly surprised you beat me by two months. Didn't think anyone would...I'd never consider myself a fan or a detractor, I never cared about Tevin or Fred Fuchs or anything like that. When I first found Phil I was around 13 and I honestly found him fairly entertaining, but I mean I was a kid and he tried a lot harder and was honestly a better youtuber back then. As I got older I saw more of his flaws, but I still find him entertaining, just in a different way.

I know a lot of detractors have all these opinions...I honestly think he's too stupid for morality. I don't think Phils a bad or malicious person. I think he's just too stupid for that. I think he honestly doesn't see anything wrong in what he's doing because he's too dumb to have the capacity to view that side of morality.

I tend to think the closest to 'real' DSP you'll see on stream is when he's interacting with Jasper the cat on the couch. You can hide your personality from people all day and night but people don't really do that with pets so your pet knows the real you more than other people that live with you often do is my reasoning why I'd say that's as close to the true Phil Burnell as you'll ever see. Yes, that means he's a goofy childish man-baby-gamer at the end of the day, so I can see why you think he's too on the spectrum for morality to come into play about the way he conducts his streams.
