DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Gramh]

I have to hand the pigroach a little bit of credit, even though it's not so much a conscious action of himself that brings it about. The level of intrigue in the concepts of what is the truth in the world of Dark is so convoluted as to almost be a masterpiece if it were brought to some sort of mystery fiction. It's not just his own lies at play here, there are people who will fabricate stories of their own to cast a positive or negative light on Philip Burnell. You have a field of players big and small all working motives for personal ends, and a situation where there isn't a level that someone won't sink to that keeps those motives going. Every piece of information no matter how minute has as much plausibility logically to be true or false, reality and illusion are perfectly mixed. The only let down to this story will be the ending where none of the mystery is solved and we have an unremarkable end to either DSP himself or his "career" on the internet.

what does he gain about lying about gamepass though?

Because there were numerous games that his chat were asking him to play that happened to be free on game pass but he refused to play (Bloodstained and Remnant are still free with game pass to this day). Because he shit on game pass continually, until recently reversing his opinion on it after finally seeing its value during the Xbox press event (people have been saying to him that game pass is only $5 extra a month and gives him access to 100 games but he shrugged it off). Because he is a contrarian asshole that hates his life and by extention his chat.

We have reached parity of vest streak and viewership. Both at 260

You misread. That would be 2.60 to 260. Chargebacks and working 'overtime' and all.

Phil alleged to be lying about xbox gamepass:

Isn't that the default setting?

Still, this is a man who despises video games. Those 100 games he gains access to will go completely unplayed. I was curious if the benefits included streaming services that let him watch wrestling, but from what I can tell this really is nothing but games. I kind of have to wonder if Kat was interested in it and he bought it for her, or if she just logged in and paid for it without him even being aware.

The same damn thing he gains from every other white lie and half truth. He’s a pathological liar, these people can’t help themselves sometimes.

DSP has no reason to ever tell the truth because his cucks have made it clear they don’t care when he blatantly lies to them

Massive retcon of the 10 year plan discussion he had with his mom in April. Apparently getting a real job was only 1 of 2 options discussed. The other was bankruptcy and "making major financial changes." Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this was ever mentioned in his wedding debrief stream. And in reality it was super smart of DSP to declare bankruptcy and keep streaming because if he had gotten a real job (lol at the possibility of that) he would have been screwed by covid. DSP is taking credit for a decision he never really made.

as far as I know fast food employees never stopped working due to covid so hes wrong about immediately losing his job if he got one

you are right. The pig NEVER mentioned there being 2 options. He's making it so that his bankruptcy is a success with his retards. Last year when it became public knowledge, Phil did EVERYTHING he could to discredit it and ban people who mentioned the bankruptcy in the chat until the last minute.

Considering some of Phil's trolls are just as retarded as he is (Hi OnlyIcedCoffee!) I wouldn't be surprised if one of them try to contact mama to tell her his new plan in an attempt to troll/sabotage him. I personally don't view this bearing any fruit if this happens as I'm sure trolls have tried doing that in the past but to no avail

 

[Nixxit]

Fast-food employees may have continued working as a whole but I would think workload reductions pushed some of them into unemployment, and we all know Phil wouldn't be the last to go - one of the very few times he'd be first in something, actually.

 

[BlackDragoons]

OIC been in the restreams asking for an interview lol dude just wants attention from detractors and DSP. If he can't get it from one he'll get it from the other.

Also DSP had 10 rewinds he could have used the whole map. He could have seen he was out of position when Judith spawned in and redid that turn to send units east to connect with her. The game urges you to go that way by putting up an old student (Ashe) and a treasure chest (Loot!) along the way. DSP took none of those bread crumbs and instead put all 10 units in a ball and ran it west. DSP barely used Dance (extra turn), has never used Warp (teleport anywhere on the map) and didn't put his healers in range of covering the NPC escort (Dorothea and Lindhardt with Physic).

You know what he did with 10 rewinds? He killed the NPC off ten times, hoping that the enemy unit would miss (18% chance) on one of the ten tries. Literal definition of insanity. He could have rewound to 2 or 3 turns earlier and sent some people east, or did any of the other above strategies to finish the mission in his "allotted time."

Wasn't it a Thursday when he played Paper Mario for an extra hour of overtime? Why not do that tonight with this game? Especially when he's talking about how long it's going to take to beat this game (November or December assuming 30 hours, but at the rate he's playing, it could be longer) he could use an extra hour here or there. Especially when he's going to game over on missions, too.

EDIT: I also have no clue how he's taking so long to play this game. He isn't taking time to consider which units to field on the map, where to field them on the map, their weapons, their abilities, their combat arts, their battalions. He's just going default default default mash mash mash start start start. I think my first play through was similar in length but I was taking time to consider the above decisions, then fast forwarding through enemy combat animations (you can hold A to speed these up, something DSP has NEVER DONE in 55 hours of gameplay). He likes to drag/stall on parts of the game that don't matter (running around the monastery talking to everyone and never using fast travel) but then rushes through parts of the game that do matter (unit load outs, inventory, skills, etc) then gets butt mad that his lack of preparation leads to him failing a mission.

tl;dr: I love Fire Emblem 3 Houses and can probably sperg more about what DSP is/isn't doing correctly. I just deep down hoped he would have enjoyed the game somewhat since it's my favorite Switch game but I don't think that's going to happen. Dude literally cannot enjoy anything anymore.

Watching DSP playing one of my favorite franchise is like watching someone pulling out your teeth.

Please stop, just end this misery.

You can tell he hates games because he is always complaining about everything that takes time,I was just watching a re-stream of 3 condos where he complained about how long something was going to take; and besides...so what if doing something in the game takes time? If you werent playing that part of the game you would be playing another one so whats the difference? He just hates playing games.

Arin Hanson from game grumps said games are a chore because he is a retard that sucks at games and only does it for the money,I wouldnt be surprised if Phil thinks the same but doesnt say it.

Warns the audience about the streak ending at the one hour mark. Finishes his water and leaves for a few minutes to “get more”. Comes back, and within one minute, he gets a $74 tip to hit the vest streak. Can it be any more obvious he has a lifeline?

Yes, but it would require something that isn't in DSP's wheelhouse, and that's transparently telling the truth with receipts.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Phil should start doing like NPR and say "We'll have a month of no begging IF we can raise $10000 TODAY."
He could have whales do matching donations too "For the next 5 minutes, your tips are worth double!"

 

[KD6-3.7]

I know it’s connecting events that are seemingly unrelated. It’s just been a suspicion of mine for a while. The timing of it tonight was just SO convenient.

I think it's funny that it would happen tonight of all nights, the seamless transition between "oops tips goal is low" to "gotta get water hold on" to "oh look a huge tip!" right after the supposed OIC leaks and whatnot.

 

[Nixxit]

I find OnlyIcedCoffee's leaks dubious on top of unconfirmed, though.

If Phil actually knew in advance which whale(s) offered to step up on that particular day and when as claimed in the leaks, why need the obvious bathroom break messages ? You could argue every bathroom breaks is the whale missing its mark, but not only does OnlyIcedCoffee contradict that with his claims*, that happens often enough to be sloppy even for the bunch of retards his fans are.

*: In fact, has OnlyIcedCoffee ever answered one of the emergency bathroom break calls aside perhaps from "that one Paper Mario 3 stream 'bout 3 weeks ago" ? If he did, then it would directly contradict the LightSydePaul story of Phil knowing the streak-hit hour in advance and never having panicked (Aside from the aforementioned stream).

Here's the deal, in it's weird entirety.

-The "I need to go get water I'm almost out" schtick (correct me if I'm wrong) is relatively new and generated post Vest Streak.

-The tips that typically "save the streak" are from names fabricated for Streamlabs. They usually include very generic messages or in some instances no message at all.

-A thing to keep in mind, DSP is very sensitive about his tip money. Superhound has shown us inadvertently that DSP is aware when a large tip comes in who the originator of that tip is, or else he will hold up his stream to see who sent it.

These things wouldn't be suspicious on their own merit ordinarily, but in combination and in relation to this specious screen drop from OIC, it pushes it towards being less and less coincidence.

 

[Nixxit]

Oh I'm not denying the bathroom breaks are to alert a whale it's time to open their wallet, or that the streak is kept alive through only a few whales.

What I am saying is that if the OnlyIcedCoffee leaks were true (For reminder, they claim 1. that Phil knows which whale will tip and when they will and 2. that Phil only genuinely panicked about the vest streak being in danger once) then I don't see how these bathroom breaks emergency calls could happen. That's not an indictment against the bathroom breaks being whale calls, it's an indictment against the supposed leaks.

Because the leaks claim Phil knows in advance when whales will tip, it makes no sense for him to be messaging his whales for them to tip towards the end of the stream because he would know they will tip and when already at that point - in fact according to the leaks it is the whales who tip to say when they will make it so the streak is hit, so they flat out say this shouldn't be how it works. This means the bathroom break calls could only be an emergency measure when a whale misses that pre-arranged time for tipping, except then the leaks also say Phil has never panicked except once, which would mean that whales haven't actually missed calls except that one time, which contradicts the theory the bathroom breaks are for rallying the whales because the streak is in danger.

I mean we knew this shit was gonna happen, this 10 year plan shit was always a massive lie he told to his audience and parents. He will never get a job comparable to the money he makes now. That 10 year plan shit never made sense to me, it’s a story only a boomer like his mom could back because she most likely has no damn idea the amount of money he actually makes. The way he talks about his financial problems to her she probably assumes he makes like 30K a year or something.
