DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Eekum Bokum]

Of course DSP beats Gyuki first time despite it being one of the harder bosses because of its damage output and massive hitbox and he beat it by using the strategy that everyone uses and that's stick to its arse and block/dodge when it jumps up or raises its leg.

Right after a break, I'm assuming?

No was before his break. His cheese build is just carrying him really hard.

“We’re on 152 dollars in tips guys... that’s EXCEPTIONALLY good.” For once Phil ain’t wrong.

 

[Iron Father]

This. As a streamer/content guy, your job shouldn't necessarily be going for wins unless your whole marketing gimmick is "being the best" or "winning with 30 kills." Most of the time (especially if you're mediocre) your job is to entertain. Some people can be entertaining by winning, especially if the way they win commands respect. In Phil's case, he might win, but it's so boring that no one would really care if he did.

As usual DSP's internal lahgic is more flawed than a collapsed bridge. On one hand he's the anti-e dick Average Joe gamer who is raw and real and just wants to have fun, on the other he camps for minutes straight in his matches and says "the point is to win dood" when people try to nudge him into doing something entertaining.

Can't start new fighters because that requires weeks of learning a new character before he can go online. Can't play action RPGs/survival games on easier modes and have fun because then his end of the game review would be pointless.

Makes no sense at all. He so desperately wants to be a git gud gamer but he's held back by his own limitations and stupidity, so instead he's a scrub gamer holding himself to git gud standards. What a clusterfuck.

Chargebacks: funny
Chargebacks once Paypal resumes its chargeback fine ($20 per chargeback): hilarious
Chargebacks during Phil's chapter 13, with the fine: priceless

This is actually really common with streamers, especially if they've experienced a modicum of success outside of their own control (in Phil's cases, the negative memes about him). He can't decide what exactly he wants to do or what he wants to be known for, and can't afford to do a massive reset to set his own terms. He's forever locked to his routine because the alternative is actually terrifying; having to stand on his own merits and his own ideas, which could be even worse than what he's doing now.

I think that's what bugs me the most about him pushing "chill" streams so hard; it's a way to be purposefully vague about his streams without actually committing to any kind of vision or set of values/principles.

 

[Iron Father]

I think "chill streams" are his true persona and what you're describing about him being vague so he doesn't have to commit to anything is his "variety streamer" moniker.

Phil just ended his stream after running around a level for 20 minutes right before a Boss fight. really makes me think

 

[FormerPro]

DSP's obvious calling in life was to be the Gacha game equivalent of a FIFA menu streamer. Just sit there for hours opening packs chatting shit and then doing a fake over the top reaction where after $1800 he packs a Super Mega Rare Diamond Honky Tonk Man. The only reason I believe he hasn't done this is to try and cling on to his 11 year let's play "legacy" and obviously being too stupid to figure out how to get bluestacks on his PC to stream the games.

I'm internally laughing too hard picturing Phil trying to enable virtualization in his BIOS.

 

[EmpGulcasa]

Can someone explain this "tut saga" for me? Sounds funny.

 

[Iron Hamster]

But at the same time I still don't agree with giving this pigroach any money even if you chargeback

They're not giving him money......they're just giving him a chubby.

DSP had one good game yesterday where he actually got a string of kills and got 6 before he died in 10th place.

Other than that, I've never seen him get more than 2. Even then, he only gets 2 when people run into him.

Of course, DSP was upset at himself for putting himself in a vulnerable position. He should have hid more.

Maybe he thinks the financial life jacket is also the cloak of invisibility.

Tutankhuman was the king of paypigs. He gave Phil thousands of dollars and one day chargebacked most of it and Phil freaked. Phil bitched about it for months, complained how it cost Phil money because other people weren't pahsitively khantributing, etc...

Apparently, Tut was some middle-aged kid with lots of money and just wanted to fuck with Phil. We don't know if he got all his money back, but I'd bet he got most of it. Phil was butthurt about it for a long time.

Worth remembering he cheered almost $2200 and then tried to claim he got it refunded months later. Tut was full of shit, tbh.

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

It's also worth mentioning that Phil changed his set in stone schedule to play SFV because Tut liked it.

When Tut showed up the chat would be focused on him. Asking questions and whatnot. This led to the infamous, "If I look in chat and see Tut, Tut, Tut, it's gonna be ban, ban, ban."

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

I thought Tut was some twenty-nothing coolie who's coolie parents owned a dealership that's why he had all those cars, oh and he did say in I believe a tweet he did it for the luls and to lul at the detractors.

 

[architect]

Tut is still around. He dumps money on people in the FGC mostly, but he hangs around the Tolomeo stream as well. It wouldn't surprise me if he's still tipping Phil. I've always suspected he's the idiot who gifts those troll subs whenever Tevin or LSB is streaming.

 

[Shick]

but he hangs around the Tolomeo stream as well.

The Tolomeo mini-saga was always pretty funny to me. A Dark Souls challenge runner poop-touches Phil by repeatedly hosting him during one of the redemption runs, then the poop touches back and they don't quite become friends but are friendly towards each other, Tolomeo almost talks his way into getting Phil to play Monster Hunter with him and convinces one of his friends to give Phil that massive thousand-viewer host (where we get the "some things are more important than money" quote from). Then it ends as all relationships with Phil do, the other person gets thrown under the bus as Phil tries to defend one of his opinions.
