For some reason someone posted this on my facebook and I'm like "Well if it isn't someone I know"

I want to touch upon one of the more pathetic but perhaps overlooked aspects of DSP's current streams.

DSP obviously just started Deathloop. As he's progressing through the tutorial stage of the game, he is tasked with finding a 4-digit code to a door. DSP reaches the door (at this point he hasn't found the actual code as that required going further into the tutorial/beginning stage of the game and then doubling back) and randomly and awkwardly states that he was "told by someone" that if you put in an incorrect 4 digit code (0451) you unlock a rare achievement "easter egg trophy", but don't worry "it's not a spoiler!"

He didn't see this 0451 code in stream chat, no one commented it, it was clear someone had to have emailed and told him prior to the playthrough. In any case, what I am getting at is that DSP is no longer doing spoiler-free, blind playthroughs anymore, and he never will again. He is too afraid of looking stupid or 'wasting time' getting stuck in games that he's clearly justified spoiling games and looking up hints/guides. I think what initially started as DSP looking a few things up so he didn't appear to be a complete inept moron on stream as he couldn't navigate childrens games evolved to fully prepping playthroughs by looking up key hints/guides and relying on what I imagine a small group of the same spergs to spoon feed him advice for playthroughs. Recently, we've seen him refer to guides/email hints in his Fallout playthrough, his Nier: Replicant playthrough, and other games. Mr. 13-year begacy, game-lover is not playing the games himself anymore and it's pathetic. This fact is what has also contributed to his actual stream becoming infinitely more boring the past few years, as the salt and general buffoonery that occurred as DSP's gin-addled pea brain couldn't progress through simple challenges is less frequent with guides and gameplay preparation.

Anyways, if you're interested here is the clip of DSP ACKnowledging inputting the 0451 code to get the rare achievement (1%). Of course, this achievement doesn't have an effect on gameplay, but the fact that he coudln't ignore the achievement, clearly had it on his mind during the tutorial, and nervously stated "Not a spoiler" is all I need to see and hear to know DSP is getting spoiled on other elements of the game.

I don't even dare to imagine the amount of medicine you have to take on a daily basis in an attempt to reduce the effects of the crippling autism you must have when you're a person who emails guides and spoilers to DarksydePhil so he doesn't have to face challenge while playing video games.
 
Guys, I'm confused, I thought big new releases were supposed to bring in tons of new viewers and new positivity?
Yeah, I don't get it either! It's such an amazing gameplay!

I love when he mumbles something, about some mechanic that's 'stupid' or when he answers his fans agressively. Also, I can't wait for a fucking 30 minutes break for some reason!

Don't worry, one or two whales will bail him out as usual and make the stream into a success. Oh, and the $24/$25/$37 tip from Bobbajo/OneMinuteMan/SilentBob surely has been delivered already (DSP's just not mentioning it yet).
 
Tips are low right now so naturally Phil hates the game is trying to get his audience to hate the game too by complaining how the game is weird and it doesn't explain anything. But if and when a whale pulls up and the tips increase he will do a 180 and start to pretend the game is good and he's enjoying it. The usual routine.
 
Imo Deathloop isn't bad. If you like Dishonored there isn't much of a reason to dislike Deathloop. You can play Stealth, or Murder Death KILL. There is more than 1 route to get to an objective so what is DSPs problem? He likes to be negative just to be negative and lack of money amplifies that times a million.

His problem is he fucking sucks at stealth and fucking sucks at shooting.
 
Blind man doesn't like DSP's negativity. Took you long enough to fucking notice bruh. Every day SBM gets closer to eating a ban.

I didn’t think the writers would come up with a “fan turned detractor that doesn’t get banned because he’s a disabled SJW” arc but this could get spicy.

edit: to be clear, there are way more obvious and impactful examples of handholding, guide reading, and spoiling out there. This example was just amusing to me because the achievement is so specific and non-consequential.
Good catch. It's not surprising to any of us, but definitive proof that Phil is being spoiled and told what to do now before even starting games has ruined the only reason to watch him. The fat Polack can't just suck at games and take an L in a hobby he absolutely despises.

Not a lot pahsitivity, but imagine my surprise seeing that almost 400 are watching.

THATS ALOTTA PEEPUL!

Poor Phil. Play the boring walking sim games he enjoys because they involve zero effort, and he can barely break 200.

Play a game he’s shit at because it involves stealth and tactical thinking and he can’t just tank through it, and his viewer number double.

This is the kinda shit you NEED TO SEE TO BELIEVE!

EDIT: sry but not sure if its my connection, or kiwifarts just doenst work with videos.

EDIT2:


Dear lord, it’s not even like off in the corner or anything, it was LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

“There was a big ass gun I wanted! tuh-heh I don’t know what happened with it, it just disappeared!”

Told you guys it’ll be decent TIHYDP material!
