DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Iron Father]

He's trying his best to have a goal where wearing the thing is the least inconvenient; Almost like he's not wearing it at all.

It's the little things that make DSP entertaining for me, and this is a good example of it.

DSP says he puts on a vest "in celebration!" and it's a reward for pahsitively contributing to his stream blah blah but what does he buy when it's time to re-invest back into his "business" and acquire new vests to wear for the viewers? Whatever is cheapest, lightest, most comfortable and least ridiculous looking. Most people want the platinum vest because of how autistic it is, it perfectly represents the entire gimmick and its appeal to the viewers.

Does DSP prioritize money and buy new vests with a similar clownmode energy? No he buys the ones that appeal to his cheapness and his leisure fetish. He still does the vest gimmick of course, but just the bare minimum to make that money.

In many ways this is why his "career" is so shambolic. Yes he prioritizes making money but he only does so up until the point it jeopardizes his leisure. He'll milk any idea dry but he'll never truly make content with it that could be considered a peak of his talent or effort. When he made edited content it was the bare minimum (and he still whined), when he tried cooking it was lazy slob garbage food that took little effort (he still fucked up the dishes), when he tried fastfood it was just an excuse to get paid via ads to shovel grease down his throat (ReviewBruh for example actually makes this content subgenre watchable; it's possible), his vlog series was just a bunch of hotel room tours and then restaurant table ramblings; zero effort.

If DSP really wanted to he could make so much more money with this vest gimmick, by purchasing really out there weird vests, he could hold competitions among his viewers to see who could find the zaniest vest and whoever wins he'll buy it (or they buy it) and he'll wear it on stream for a special occasion. As retarded as the vest thing is, he could absolutely take full advantage of it, but no he just lazily autopilots through all of his tard-milking gimmicks as usual until it's dead in the water, his viewers are tired of it or he hates it so much he chooses his leisure over money.

The vest is already heading off a cliff, soon he'll be wearing a see-through silk vest you can't even see on his webcam.

If DSP had adopted live streaming in his old way more openly toxic and bigoted days, he'd probably be a smoldering pile of cancelled pork right now.

For sure, there's two things the pigroach lacks that make for the high viewer streamers...well three but the third is being a titty streamer and that's effort and energy. He can't handle a chat of more than say 300 people he's not upbeat and reactionary enough to work his crowd and play a game and he doesn't spend the money to get a proper setup going. There's a couple guys I watch that just greenscreen it and they are high energy just banging one liners out and having fun with the audience and they do it with consistency something he simply cannot do.

Phil really unraveling the mystery of Automata.

"I don't believe for a minute that there was an invading Alien force. I don't believe it at all anymore"

You see the Alien bodies.

"Yes they showed the Aliens, you see the aliens. but I don't believe the story at all"

so...how are there aliens if there wasn't an alien invasion? what the fuck is he on about

10:1 odds he looked up a plot summary, couldn't figure out what the game's entirely unsubtle themes were, and is doing everything his soggy brain can to try and sound like he 'gets' it.

The pig is just an awful entertainer all around. That’s why he’s a bad streamer.

He’s not funny; he’s not charismatic; he’s not original; he can’t come up with jokes on the fly; he has an incredibly thin skin and therefore can’t take a joke/ jab at himself; hates Twitch culture and its quirks (bans people who paste copy-pastas/ never used emotes and has confirmed he doesn’t have BTTV or FrankerZ extensions installed); thinks that his streams are “serious” and for adults; takes himself too seriously; values his opinion too highly; has low energy (probably has very low testosterone levels); is grumpy as fuck; and is an awful gamer in general.

His streams lack quality and professional acumen. It’s hard to relate to him given his age difference with the average Twitch viewer and is so far removed from popular geek/ nerd culture, his ability to survive in this environment is just a testament to his awful reputation and subsequent notoriety.

Case in point: OIC. Previously Tut and Emerald7. Although to a lesser extent, pwdubz and snowkarl. All of these ‘tards found the pig through detractor content and decided to enter the orbit of autism to poke the pig while paying him. Every year Phil’s viewership declines and stagnates in terms of organic growth. Overall, his viewer base is not growing but declining. Regardless of what the pig says, he’s not doing well. This Vest Streak is an anomaly which I seriously doubt he can ever replicate in terms of success.

Just go on any other stream with 1,000+ viewers and look at the quality. Now go on one with tens of thousands of viewers and look at the difference: a sense of community and entertainment provided by the persona on screen. Everything that Phil lacks. There’s a reason why one individual’s stream gets popular and all of the elements that enable popularity are nonexistent in DSP’s content. For something he claims he has generated 12 years of, he’s fucking terrible at it.

His success in the early days of YT is attributable to being an early adopter of a new medium and its associated technology while benefit from a lack of alternatives. If Phil had started even a few years later from his YT heydays, he’d never have made it to where he is now.

Him saying he’d be popular is complete nonsense and only his gin-addled brain would convince him otherwise. Dude is a fucking moron for genuinely believing that he could be a Ninja or PDP if da trolls didn’t ruin his life.

I know Phil has said the trolls had ruined him financially but has he ever said how?

He lost thousands and thousands of dollars cause of false strikes, made him delete a lot of video which killed his yt channel. There was nothing he could do!

Detractors like Tevin and Dark Dave restreaming his content hurts him as well as people who make TIHYDP hurt him in that people get to watch highlights of his playthroughs rather than having to watch 62 videos of Spiderman. Those views add up dood!

I believe if Phil had a stroke, he would tell us himself. He could and likely would claim it's due to his "stressful" job, current COVID crisis, recent bankruptcy and because of the mean detractors. The ear infection he had shows he is utterly exceptional when it comes to minor pain and discomfort, there is no way he wouldn't milk a stroke. Sadly it would make him money, and random people that hate him would switch to their "we can't lose our fave lolcow" and give him money too because they are utter faggots.


That aside even if he had a minor stroke, he would likely be in a hospital for a day or two to be monitored. He would have to take an MRI (possibly with dye in which case we would likely see some bruising on his forearm), several doctor consultations (at the very least neurological and physical) and depending on severity he might require some form of rehabilitation. All of which would be time consuming (the MRI alone takes around 400 images of your brain and veins, and you have to go over all of them) and everything would be somewat expensive.

Edit: I'm not sure how COVID affected this process in the US, but I would wager it didn't speed it up.

Edit #2: Went back a bit, his weird facial expressions could be a result of his car accident. Sometimes damage to the neck may mess up some nerves, which could get better, stay the same or get worse over time. I really don't think it's stroke related.

I personally think Phil would hide a serious medical issue from the stream. Yes Phil milked his ear infection, but that is nothing compared to a stroke. Phil mentioned gout in 2015 and it is still used as a daily insult 5 years later. Phil knows this and he wants to prevent a new meme that the detractors can use for all eternity. Just imagine the memes, troll insults, etc that Phil would experience if he admitted to a stroke.

etc.

Just my 2 cents. Phil has actually changed with how much "behind the scenes " info he reveals.

 

[Dread Pirate Retard]

All this stroke speculation is pretty puzzle piece imo. Dave is a living ghoul with droopy jowls. That's the simplest explanation.

How long until we get a pre-stream rant about how "these crazy mentally ill detractors think I had a stroke or something!"

A stroke isn't a minor thing. A stroke can be, and often is fatal. I described the most optimistic outlook where the brain doesn't get damaged. Everything else would require some form of surgery which noone would walk off in a week, let alone a day or two. He wouldn't go "ouch my head hurts" and continue playing games, or stick to his autistic schedule. He would go "ngghhh halp" and go to the nearest ER.
He had his weird lip thing for a while, it's not hot news.

I fucking dislike Phil and want to see him homeless, broke and asking people to piss on him just to stay warm, but this isn't it mate.
If following Phil got so boring that people need to make believe he had a stroke, it's time to take a break.

 

[Iron Hamster]

and least ridiculous looking.

That was a failure. Ca-homo vest looks as ridiculous as ufo vest.

 

[LordofCringe7206]

The latest Memology video is about DSP. Apparently he defended that Netflix film that everyone is in an uproar over.

Views don't pay! I'm still waiting on that big cheque that Phil says I've been stealing from him.

That guy came in and tipped him saying that he didn't mean to insult Phil about having a stroke and said his Dad had one but he didn't know for years. Now that he knows, he sees some of the same symptoms and is worried about Phil.

What does Phil do? Does he thank the guy for his concern? Of course not. He goes straight to insulting the guy and still saying it's not right to joke about a stroke despite the explanation that was in the tip and goes and bans him from tipping.

Because it was an obvious troll and Dark is incredibly thin skinned.

 

[behind_the_scenes_begging]

It's that noticeable that he would get those comments on the rare occasions he leaves the gated community on his days ahf. I can picture the cashier at his local take away asking him "hey man are you ok? what's wrong with your lip? My grandfather had a similar problem after his stroke"

 

[FamicomGorby]

Could Papa Dave have had a stroke and Dave jr. ain't sharing? I think it's both his parents are/were smokers, live generally unhealthily, and are elderly so it's not out the realm of possibility. Though I would think Phil woulda used that as an excuse to take a week off to fly back to CT while still getting that sweet sweet tip money from concerned fans.

I'd like to think that Dave saw his son's revealing Leanna's medical history and said, "Philiam, if you reveal anything personal about me, you cousin is getting that inheritance"

If Dave got his financial sense from his parents then there ain't gonna be an inheritance, guarantee they'll have a reverse mortgage on their home.
