DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Chilson]

This coronavirus pandemic shows how detached from reality and narcissistic Phil is. This pandemic is just starting,its likely than hundred of thousands will die in the US alone(maybe a few millon) and the world economy is going on recession but he doesnt give a shit,as long as he can play wrestling gacha and beg for money on his couch the entire world can get fucked. Also his "I have stuff to do once a week and I need to go out" is so exceptional, YOU DONT HAVE TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING PHIL,KAT CAN DO IT FOR YOU,he is just exposing himself to the virus for no other reason that he has to be exceptional and keep his weekly "muh errands" schedule where he just wobbles around the grocery store doing something Kat could do (or he could order his groceries and have them delivered to his house).all because he needs to pretend to be an adult instead of a NEET,and im sure the doesnt wear a mask when he goes out.

Not to defend Phil here because his reasoning is selfish and completely detached from reality, but this virus has a 3% kill rate on a very specific population of older/already medically compromised people (so saying millions will die is extreme at best) and masks have been proven to not do shit.

While Phil is an unhealthy mongrel, he still won't likely die of the virus even if he catches it due to how pre-existing conditions and extreme age seem to be the indicator of death (both things phil unfortunately does not have enough of) and, to be frank, who the hell could he spread it to? He doesn't interact with anyone but Kat who is going to the "gym" a lot and is therefore very likely healthy enough to beat it off.

we've already seen that he's healthy enough to beat it off

 

[Keystone]

Cant wait for @actually To get cited in some academic paper analysing the economic effects of the mentally deficient during pandemics.

And yes, that will probably happen

Felt that needed a slight edit for accuracy.

Youtube: 910k views = $910-$2730 ($1-$3 CPM)

Theories on how he still manages to get these kind of views every month? Really doesn't make much sense to me when you look at the comparatively meagre amount of muppets he gets watching him live - your own split may vary but in my head 80% of his stream audience are there to laugh at him. He does not have many genuine fans left at all whichever way you slice it. There aren't hundreds of thousands of people using his archive to collect clips for their own detractor content every month either. All I recall is years ago people admitting they just run his playlists all day when they're not even around to support him. Even so how many could really be doing this.

The numbers don't seem to add up. Viewbots? Does the sheer volume of his kwality khantent really just flood the scales?

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

Does the sheer volume of his kwality khantent really just flood the scales?

Yes. Look up many of the games Phil has played, and he makes the first page of Let's Players. It's more remarkable that he maintains such a tiny amount of views despite being a legit top 10 gaming/comedy guy on Youtube back in the day.

At least we know his CPM is in the toilet now, sub-$1 CPM.

 

[Lady Adjani]

Probably, keep in mind Philip has 57,111 videos on his main youtube account.

A lifetimes worth of video content (that nobody should ever be subjected to watch).

 

[Anime Waifu NFT collector]

Probably, keep in mind Philip has 57,111 videos on his main youtube account.

And each one of them begins with "Ok", "alright", "ladies and gentlemen" or something similar and an image of him leaning in on his notebook.

Holy shit it dawned on me just now, you're absolutely right, he's even above the phase out level of income too so not even a reduced check. Khet probably would qualify if she files individually though so we'll see if tax guy screws her over despite doing hers for free this year supposedly.

Can any Animal Crossing fans tell me which playthrough is better, Phil's or Christian Weston Chandler's from the 2000s?

correct me if I’m wrong, and this may have been discussed, but he actually doesn’t make too much.

you’re right in that if you make 75k+ it reduces your stimulus, but you’re wrong on your overall figures. The 75k is for single people and DSP is married, meaning they have to be a combined 150k to knock them out of the running.
Now maybe he wasn’t married when his taxes were last filed, but it goes off last filed, so if he filed this year he would’ve been put as married, even if they filed at single for a higher refund.

“ How do I know if I will get the full amount? It depends on your income. Single adults with Social Security numbers who have an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less will get the full amount. Married couples with no children earning $150,000 or less will receive a total of $2,400. And taxpayers filing as head of household will get the full payment if they earned $112,500 or less.”

he may get the full 2400 for him and Kat,even if he filed HoH.

edit: doesn’t matter if she didn’t work or file last year, even ifPhil filed wo her because if she filed this year:

“What year’s income should I be looking at?

2019. If you haven’t prepared a tax return yet, you can use your 2018 return. If you haven’t filed that yet, you can use a 2019 Social Security statement showing your income to see what an employer reported to the I.R.S.”

Phil hasn't filed 2019 so the stimulus is based of of 2018.

Based on 2018 when he filed separately he wont qualify.

But yes if he had filed 2019 on time jointly he would get a cool $2,400 to help pay for the next round of Rochelle handling his bankruptcy.

Since Phil hasn't filed yet only Kat will get a check and probably buy herself something nice like she did with her tax return.

the videos that begin and end with him clicking recording make me uncomfortable, it's beyond fucking lazy

Where does all of Phil's money go? How could he rack us so much debt and have nothing to show for it?

Well, I was doing a little research and I found this example of his wise purchases.

In 2012, Phil probably spent close to a thousand dollars on quilts.

Commissions

Current commissions with deposits can be found here. This will give you an idea of how many quilts are in front of you and the status of your quilt. Please make sure you speak to Toni before making a deposit for a commission. Your design and final cost must be approved before a deposit will...

I have never seen any of these quilts in his condo tours. 3 high quality custom quilts that Phil has either thrown away or stuffed in the back of a closet somewhere.

King - Depends on the quilt, design, and fabric, starts at $1000 usd

 

[JimiHendrix]

Phil goin' on a massive rant because he found out The Last of Us Part 2 got delayed. Saying Sony doesn't understand anything about business and Last of Us could've been the best selling game of all time.

on a personal note I'm sure Last of Us will be fun, but the people acting like this game is going to be the greatest game to come out in the past ten years and it getting delayed is such a huge tragedy is annoying when it's literally just "sad person kills 100000 people aren't humans the real monsters?"

Edit: Phil just said he does run ads on twitch but has absolutely no idea if the ad benefits him or twitch?

Most people are bland and boring and lacking depth so they love bland and boring games with little depth.

hey i'm all for liking shitty games, I find the original Assassin's Creed games to be fun, but they're objectively awful games. it's the praise of Last of Us as some revolutionary thing that's ugly.

 

[Vic Viper T301]

Just last night he complained that releasing the Modern Warfare 2 remake early was greedy, trying to take advantage of Coronavirus. Now Last of Us 2 gets delayed because of Coronavirus and that makes Sony also greedy. Is there any action they can take that will not result in Phil considering them greedy?

he just wants to call the people running a company with 100 billion dollars in revenue idiots and pretend he's actually really really way smarter than them

Tipping him would help I'm sure.

 

[EmpGulcasa]

He seems to think he knows better than every game developer whenever he runs into anything that he can't immediately faceroll so yeah, it's this.

he wouldn't manually run ads if it wasn't putting money in his pocket
