DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[L.I.M.B. Commander]

He's rehashing all of the shit he brought up yesterday on his emergency Youtube stream. His entire pre-stream is basically him repeating the same thing, over and over.

At this point I like to think that Phil thinks of his pre streams as unofficial "therapy sessions" since he really doesn't have anyone to talk to, his own fault by the way.

 

[Pargon]

First time posting here on Kiwi... anyhow I was thinking of doing a small DSP related creative project (maybe a DSP simulator) and was wondering about the layout of the "office" or "pig pen". It may have been gone over here previously but I wasn't finding it on search. I drew up this crude layout with what I can see when he is on his webcam at his desk, as you get a bit better of an idea of what it looks like. I am sure the scale is way off though. Anyone look into this before or have a better idea of the layout or other landmark items that he has in the room?

I'm pretty sure @Wurstbrot did a cracking good layout of the Pen and then applied some good ol' fashioned German efficiency to it as a suggestion.

Completely unrelated, but you know what I'd love to see Phil doing? Stream himself learning something, e.g. learning how to code.

Not only would that bring in new viewers who would be genuinely interested in seeing him suffer through the initial steps of a coding newbie, it is something that could change people's outlook on him.

Now, obviously that is something that he'd never do, because, well, it's Phil. He has a board here for a reason. But still, that'd be actually fun to watch.

Another fun thing would be watching him talk to that psychiatrist who streams, healthy gamer gg I think is his twitch.

Anyway, just thinking out loud here. I guess that the fact that I'd like to see these things are proof that I'm not a detractor that wants to see him get cancer or whatever.

If Phil could genuinely achieve redemption, I'd be all for it. Sadly, his idea of redemption is more like "keep doing the same thing you've been doing, keep being the same person you've always been, but people suddenly have respect and love for you".

Phil streams himself learning how to play games everyday
Master class on how not to play games

Philip Burnell has told me he is a big fan and really likes our content!

 

[Zappin’ And Spazzin’]

There is a new dark souls ripoff, Hellpoint. I would think DSP wanna play it. Did he say anything about the game? Cant find anything on pigpiggo. If you tell me he is not even aware of the title, I would believe it...

I would think that the guy who is "famous" for failing in souls game, would play this.

I think his rant following his failure at playing Blasphemous made it pretty clear what his stance is on “Soulslikes”...
He won’t play them unless they’re AAA big releases made by well known developers.
“I don’t wanna torture myself with this, this is boring, I play Dark Souls because it’s the best...”
He plays Dark Souls because it gets him the most views and the most money. He doesn’t have the attention span for anything else, Hell even during Dark Souls and his “redemption runs” he still needs other people to hold his hand and spoonfeed him how everything works.
If he tried playing something like Hollow Knight he’d probably just fall asleep until someone donates a step by step guide on how to do literally anything.
So I doubt he’ll touch Hellpoint, just like how he dodges Code Vein yet plays Sekiro day one, and will play Demon Souls Remastered day one. He only puts up with hard games if there’s the scent of money in the air.

It’s funny you mentioned Roguelikes/ Soulslike/ Metroidvania games as this is a genre I had been putting off for a while until the pandemic hit and decided to catch up on the many amazing games that have come out since their inception 7-8 years ago.

The pig would absolutely loathe such games as they require concentration, planning, and improving your skills per each consumed gameplay loop. Some of these games are incredibly hard (Blasphemous being one; Enter the Gungeon another; and Dead Cells on higher boss cells as an another famous example) and Phil would not put up with the complexity of such games.

He sticks with so-called big budget AAA games for two reason: 1) that’s the business model he used to start off his YT career and has refused to deviate from in typical DSP fashion; 2) these games are targeted at people like Phil, or to put it plainly, the Average Joe given their relatively low barrier to entry and design elements aimed at accommodating a wide audience.

Besides SF2T (and this might not even be true anymore), Phil has stopped enjoying video games in general unless they’re linear and simple AF in regards to their design philosophy (hence why he’s loving Ghosts of Tsushima right now and the Spongebob Remake) and why he refuses to play indie games... games that have proven to be massively popular and in demand as demonstrated by LIRIK and sodapoppin who primarily play such games and attract tens of thousands of viewers. As usual, DSP is a fucking idiot and refuses to play games that his audience of tards and spergs constantly demand that he plays thus depriving himself of more money. Phil is always his own worst enemy.

There’s also his ego who won’t allow him to be bad at games and prove to himself and others he’s a “good” gamer. An illusion that indie games often shatter to the pig’s dismay.

Here you go, just click on the attachment in the quoted post below. By the way Phil addressed this proposed rearrangement and shot it down because "my AC unit HAS to go in that window and the airflow from it would cause my laptop to form ice crystals inside and FREEZE!!! But good try though, keep suggesting things like that because I'm always open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism."

Hi Phil, ever heard of German engineering?
So, @Prince Lotor posted the office setup video of April 2015 and I was really bored. This could only lead to actions I would regret later. Therefore I've drawn Phil's entire "office" while keeping the current known setup in mind. At some point I threw my arms in the air like I just don't care and called it a day, as his constant swaying gave me sea-sickness. The real room could be a tit bit smaller as rooms tend to look way bigger in front of a camera, I adjusted the size and proportions many times. This should kinda fit the real situation.

This room is probably not intended as an office, but a bedroom or children's room and should not contain this much furniture (also the duct on the right kills some usable space, the architect is a fucking asshole, ack ack ack). Therefore I tried to stay fair and practical in the fixed version. For example the PC corner has the old foam in his back, so he can still use the old setup and the camera won't point against his potentially bright window. Yes, there is enough space for a greenscreen.

I also think this groundplan makes it very clear why his foam is completely useless.

A small sperg, indie games with the pure unbridled autism and love of a genre put out some of the best in the business, Hollow Knight and Blasphemous being perfect examples. The masterwork of them would be lost on someone like DSP who expects that games be revolutionary with graphics that cost a fortune.

He should stream chess. He said he knows how to play, and there is a huge growth in the chess streaming community lately with the Pogchamps tournament. Fucking GMs are giving lessons to streamers, which is crazy. If you were to get one-on-one training with a super GM like Hikaru irl, that's some serious cash.

"If people would follow that advice, things wouldn't be bad at all"

Hi, Phil. We do follow that advice. If you go through your thread you will find marked consistency in ridiculing, doxing or banning people who so-called "touch the p00p", a recently contentious term for getting as you say directly involved with a a lolcow. This isn't exclusive to your board, either. If someone comes on the site and shoots their mouth off about trolling or brags about having gotten a reaction out of a cow, they are summarily dealt with. This includes what comparatively few users have admitted to fucking with you directly as well.

If Superhound (or whomever is behind the false DMCA strikes against your channel and the DDOS attack) is a member here, they have never shown any evidence of it, and if they were you can bet your bottom dollar that, given that Null (the site owner) shares your views on the DMCA, they would very likely be only on the site long enough for their public information to be made known.

We laugh at you. A few of us do make videos about you, yes. But as divided as we may be about things like your status as a cow or your status as the internet's Teflon Don, we do not fuck with you directly as a group, and when our members do they are dealt with swiftly.

The Superhound thing should have opened his eyes to the fact nobody has been trying to take him down because it is apparently incredibly easy. Sure people out there spam reports for dumb shit like Phil saying "fag" when he was trying to say "flag" or dumb "retweet this video of Phil saying racist things" grassroot campaigns but obviously those have no real effect. In Phil's 10 year legacy only 3 real events come to mind. The failed Swat, the 2015 copyright strikes, and these Dmca strikes. Not much if anything inbetween.

Hell if it weren't for detractors he'd been signed up to some shitty MCN promoting knockoff chinese computer chairs while getting blackmailed by a woman with a bat up her cunt. You're welcome Phil.

 

[NotreallyPutin]

one of his whales answered the call

Whales are very social creatures and groups of them are called pods.

Makes sense that Phil, a gatcha whale, is adept at calling on other whales to help him out.

A/c has to be by the window apparently, also can’t be to close to equipment lest it freeze it. This shit is like the chicken bridge riddle except it’s helping a tard figure out where to put his toys

The AC is an in-window unit which Phil calls "a professional" to remove and reinstall each season.

Nevermind that college freshmen have been nigger-rigging those things every year since about the 1980s.

Thought it was one of those swamp coolers where you have to Clamp the hose to the window or someshit. I remember something about Phil having to find some sort of foam or something for it before

Oh, I don't care about Phil's bullshit, I just wanted to try my hand at fixing the layout.

Maybe that's what it is and I misunderstood is ramblings.

As everyone expected:

Just going to put this clip from July 25th 2020 here:

 

[Gramh]

Starts up his stream, accidentally deletes his bookmark save hitting continue to load a save file, and is calling the developers stupid for making it work like that. Classic DSP, and why he doesn't deserve to ever know that there are good games out there that aren't AAA titles.
