DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Satoi]

That poll? There is no option to go back to twitch. That poll is literally pointless

That's every poll DSP has ever created. It's particularly funny this time, though, because the question is kind of a big deal, but he's just going to do what benefits him the most anyway.

 

[Michael Richards]

On top of being a spoiled shit who wants everything NOW NOW NOW, Phil lacks the foresight necessary to recognize that him getting daily money of large amounts has done absolutely nothing to improve his life whatsoever. In fact it has visibly worsened his overall condition. This became abundantly clear to me when I viewed footage from early 2019, when he didn't even have a tips goal, it just said "total tips". And he was able to clown around, no matter how many times he would fuck up in a game, which is impossible to see him doing now unless he has raked in tons of tips. It's like night and day watching him play DKC2 versus his embarrassing run through the remake of RE3 from last year, or this year's streams of Divinity.

Question is, has all that money really been going directly to Scopely? We've been assuming so, but what if it isn't? I mean he looks so much like a junkie fixing for his next hit that it's hard to imagine anything else being responsible for his shift from not caring so much about tips to revolving his whole stream around them, and well before losing his partnership, but what if we're mistaken?

I wish it was easier to track his spending on that game, though I suppose it's clue enough the fact that he hasn't given up on it. He's still trying to upgrade his guild, which to me denotes still being pretty well hooked. But does that in of itself denote daily whaling out? What if it doesn't? What if Phil found some other vice, that's making such a jackass out of him lately?

maybe but imo other than hitting the booze even harder over the past year or two theres really nothing it could be since buying drugs would require socializing or using tor and hes too inept for either. camgirls would go well with his newer hyper compensating prudishness but i personally think hes just hitting an age where functioning alcoholics start showing wear and tear.

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

Phil Burnell is a real-life Arnold Rimmer.

Phil needs validation to cope with his self loathing. If that validation isn't genuine, he makes himself believe it's genuine.

Much like Rimmer, he can't handle making mistakes as it fuels his self loathing. As such, he finds way to dismiss or blame others for those mistakes.

The extremely few times Phil found any semblance of real life acknowledgment for his wasted life, he holds on to like they still have meaning. Much like Rimmer holding on to his service medals and Risk campaign book.

Phil gets heated when he's reminded of what he could've been if he kept himself in check and not masking his cowardice by being a prick. Much like Arnold's disdain for Ace Rimmer.

Rimmer actually had a redemption arc and saved the rest of the crew though.

The only other thing I can think of is that he is just simply hooked on the daily big money itself, not on spending it all right away. Phil managed to dump about $40k into his Champions account well before the vest streak came along, which more than likely means daily spending and playing for quite some time. Yet during that period in which he built up to that level, he was far less occupied with getting that daily fix of any amount of tips, let alone $200 worth. That obnoxious degree of obsession didn't appear until he discovered that it could be attained. So it could very well be that Phil has developed a need for the money and only the money, not what he knows he's going to do with it, entirely because the retards obliged him.

 

[Pandalee’s Tits]

I love how he is currently bashing SuperChats because he won't get paid them for a few weeks, he got way more of them then he did in tips since swapping to YT. Is actively telling people to tip rather than Superchat against any sort of ToS on YT?. I am also leaning more into the theory that now his first $100 per stream is what he spends on his actual bills and anything extra he can waste on WWE Champions or Gin, hence why he is always so desperate to get past that £100 mark. I don't see his monthly bills actually being much more than $3000

Kind of. His Twitch paychecks covered his “bills”, and the $100 tips goal was his wrasslin money. Now without the Twitch check he is forced to budget and is likely blowing the first $100 out of $200 on gacha instead of bills.

I’m curious how cocky he actually is with his situation. His whales are being milked dry and I don’t think he anticipates it slowing down. I’ll be honest, at first I didn’t think it was sustainable but I genuinely think Phil may have hit the lottery with these idiots and they may very well pay him thousands of dollars a month for the rest of his life.

Online casinos would be the simplest answer. Edit: That or Khet has an addiction as well. I could see Phil being a total enabler.

The reason that that "plan" isn't sustainable is become Phil is such a dickhead who never learns, and thus all it takes is for the inevitable moment when he personally slights a whale into leaving forever, and the status quo leaves with them. It's the ONLY way for him to lose, but it's such a foregone conclusion that it will happen that it really doesn't matter if it's the only way. He's going to hit that pot hole, he's too much an idiotic asshole not to.

I could see Phil being a total enabler.

As hypocritical as we've seen him be? No, I don't think so. He's too much of a pussy to stage an intervention, obviously, but if Khet has her own vices, I guarantee you Phil silently passes judgment on them. He's unfathomably selfish, HE is the one gets enabled, because he always insists on receiving, never giving.

So you're telling me that Philbert wasnt always a greedy goblin shitlord?

anyone investigate the possibility that Khet has a gambling addiction? do we know anything about that?

 

[Antarctic Hellbeast]

Do we even know that much about Khet Khan?

I don't think you can legally gamble in WA state.

 

[LostMy1stAccount]

Dude the twitch community had their chance! They didn't donate enough to make up for the lost money!

DSP only made...checks notes... an average of $460 a day in the 19 days between being departnered and the marathon. That doesn't even include the $1303 from the Marathon. He averaged out to make more than he asked for, and it still wasn't enough. DSP saw the dollars fly in via superchats and that was enough to abandon twitch.

This gets even more insane when you realize that he made 260$ more a day to "offset" the lost sub and bits money.
My math might be wrong, but I think he made more "surplus" money in the first half of May than he would've gotten in Subs and cheers for the whole of May (which he would get paid in June).
So his argument of "I only get the superchat money in June and therefore have to hit 400$ tips a day" is bullshit, since he already has gotten enough money to last him till his June payday.
The problem is, that he has absolutely no self control and blew it all on Champions.

i always thought it can go longer than most people seem to think but that it still tops out at another couple years before he has to rein in the spending cuz eventually even the sickest of his boys will either realize they can be sugar daddies to someone more appealing or need to ramp up their humiliation fetish to something more appalling. they will require more interaction at some point and his mind is so gone that im not sure hes capable of providing it.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

He obviously was, but he did once lack such an obsession over daily money.

The problem is, that he has absolutely no self control and blew it all on Champions.

Presumably, but if you think about it, he doesn't necessarily need to have done so. He has so many bad traits you can attribute his various actions to that it's impossible to say which it is, or that absent of one, the others wouldn't step in and ensure the same result.

For example, last year, when someone inquired about where the vest streak money went, Phil's answer was "It. Went. To. Pay. For. Stuff." Was that because he didn't want to admit that it went to Scopely, or was he going to be a dickhead about it anyways because that's how he always is when he's not the one bringing up his personal life? Phil loves making his bills your business and not your business when it suits him, after all, and it isn't just because of not-so-secret expenses of his. He also doesn't like the money being talked about, as demonstrated quite amply by his recent policy of banning people for doing basic math since it doesn't take much to figure out that his poverty narrative is a crock of shit. And how would that narrative look absent of an addiction to mobile games? Hard to say for sure since Phil is always lying about money, regardless of anything.

Jesus Christ I legitimately can't tell if he's got delusions of grandeur, is that much of a boomer, or both

lmao! Like they don't actually talk to their successful streamers all the time.

Well, we can see that he placed very high in the latest Champions event and there simply is no way for someone to place that high without spending a ridiculous amount of money on it.
So if we assume that Rafters is in fact DSP (which is 99% likely at this point), we can pretty much confirm where the lion share of his tip money goes.

I think it depends on what repercussions he'd face for not enabling. It would be quite ironic if she was constantly hitting him up for cash and refusing to tell him what exactly it's for, while hinting at leaving if he gives her a hard time about it. Obviously I'm not in any way saying that that's even likely the case, but we know how much Phil claims to believe in karma.

God, this fat idiot heard the word proprietary once 15 years ago and insists in using it whenever he can no matter how wrong it is.

And he's still awake, I can already see him yawning during the streams.
I like the "Fuzzy Pickles". I wonder what demo he's trying to appeal too.

The 2006 underage Xanga girl demo. Hey, maybe that's how he met PandaLee!

Not all of the money Phil gets. Around half of it is going to Scopely. There's more things that Phil is wasting his money on immediately, we just don't know what they are. Other gacha games? Online gambling? Fancy shit to keep Katherine in that khando? Onlyfans addiction? All we can do is guess.
