DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Pargon]

It's a 10 minute drive in high traffic.

It's such a cheap ploy. Inflate the time it takes for you to do things to garner sympathy/understanding/leeway for more time. That only works when people can't verify your story, Phil. And someone will always at least try, because catching you in a lie brings sunshine to our lives.

Keep trying to keep things vague, though. As though there was a more glaring sign that you're lying, apart from you just opening your mouth, of course.

"We've hit the sub goal, and now we can stop talking about it and start planning it."

So many things faked, but gratitude and enthusiasm are not among them. Was he pissed this took away from the focus on tips or something?

I really fucking hate that cult shit he squeezes into his dialogue. "WE'VE hit the sub goal, and WE can stop talking about it and start planning it." "Tips are good for US." "If you give a dollar a month, then WE can keep doing this longterm".

That's some fucking Jim Jones shit. Anything that benefits him is good for everyone, despite the fact that his fans get fuck all for it other than getting talked down to like the idiots that they are while a loud wet snort perforates their unfortunate eardrums. It's almost amazing how he manages to manipulate his weak minded without any of them realizing it.

I don't think that referring to it as a collective 'we' is such a bad things. A lot of streamer/youtubers do it and it helps make people feel part of a community - which can be a good thing.

I agree, but Phil himself is doing it for purely self-interested (and therefore disingenuous) reasons. He doesn't care about his fans, and he doesn't care about the community they've formed around him. They're just wallets with legs and arms and brains, and to him they're completely interchangeable for one another. He doesn't even care about writing them off, so long as it doesn't hurt his bottom line.

All the goodwill (and "$upport") has to flow in one direction with Phil and his fans. There's a number of reasons why we liken it to a cult.

Yeah the WE talk can be positive if you know, WE get something out of it, like I dunno, gift subs out of your own pocket which I see a lot of streamers do.

Going back to shit like being helped by chat(handheld), it's never a WE did it chat kinda thing. It's always I DID IT, and if it is a we thing, there is never a thank you for helping him out through a spot in a vidya game.

 

[MoonRocker]

The “we” stuff is borderline brainwashing speak.

The two months where i did my undercover autistic sting as a fake fan in his Twitch chat, listening to the same plug segment and Phil-speak eventually gets to you. You start believing his lies and that he’s sometimes a victim since he includes you as part of the narrative of his us vs. them shtick.

Phil has never done a fan appreciation stream; never done a gift giveaway stream; never done a genuine play with fans stream; he’s essentially never done anything to truly build a community because he doesn’t give a fuck about that. Or you for that matter. Remember that long-time fans will never be considered as friends and the relationship will always be “professional.” You are meaningless to him the moment you close your wallet.

The extent of his efforts to build something akin to a community revolves around him receiving money in order for you to be named as a Pokemon or some re.tarded sculpture in MC.

What a grade-A piece of shit.

 

[THEKINGOFGOUTVLOGS]

Got caught up to his last stream

He says his parents bought him 2 humidifiers which he never bothered to install because he didn't know how to and that he might start doing it now because ThE aIr Is ToO DrY

What a pussy

 

[swicky]

"Listen. You guys know I'm in a lot of financial trouble behind the scenes, so the top contributor of tonights stream will get to name one of my soundproofing cubes. Pretty cool, right?"

 

[Dragoonism]

It's a 10 minute drive in high traffic.

Never checked it out myself!
Think he claimed it took him like 30 car there, eat for a hour and then 30 min back.

---
So he have made some claims about being more mature and better gamer lately

I dont know but it looks like he is struggling a bit

Not something i would call mature, perhaps around the age of 15 instead perhaps

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

So a few are speculating that Phil has stealth changed the difficulty, which is possible through options menu. He is taking way less damage and is doing more damage than you usually do on second to hardest difficulty. Also Mobs are less aggressive so in groups, they will not want to gangbang you all at once. Also parrying window is much more lenient.

I'm leaning towards that he changed it to easy. One of the Darker deathtroopers with the staff died with ease and he took a very minimal amount of damage from being hit. He was able to guard break stun baton troopers in two hits which is usually not a thing since they usually are able to parry back themselves, but not here.

This motherfucker put it on easy.

Edit: To support my claim, I will report back with some images to compare numbers via health bar damage with the same enemies.

apparently checking the map is literally to hard for DSP
"the game doesn't tell you where to go so you don't know where to look" nigga the map literally gives you a marker for your current objective and markers on the map for areas you hadn't explored yet or are incapable of exploring, shut the fuck up

The cultspeak "we" Piggy uses is a vital part of the Us vs. Them mentality he's got going on. He needs to ensure the paygimps always see him as the poor victim of the Dang, Dirty Detractors, battered by the Fates in ways over which he has absolutely no control. Together, Dave and his cult can defeat us by making him super successful and financially solvent. And the best part? All it takes is for the paygimps to give him pitycents because they add up and he can continue to thumb his nose at us. Because we have no lives, no wives, no jahbs, etc.

Like all cult BS, it ignores reality. Yes, the paygimps can keep their Dear Leader afloat month-to-month but, assuming his debt load is as he says, eventually, it won't be enough as the interest piles on. In the end, Lenders and Banks are the greatest detractors.

Ah, yeah, true. And I bet with him it's a conscious tactic he's using, vs a lot of other creators that just natural think of the audience as a collective 'we'

For sure, given that "we" becomes "I" whenever there's an accomplishment to claim. This is especially true when chat tells him how to do something. As soon as he does what he is told, there's an "Alright, I did it."

This is something a child would do. A little child who doesn't get his way and thinks he's 'rebelling' in his little pissbaby way. You're 37 years old Phil, you fucking manchild.

 

[Freshtodeath]

tried messaging twitch staff about DSP. They are clueless

You forgot to PM your tits to him first. Didn't we go through this before? Hasan or w/e the fuck his name is will feign ignorance to avoid issues. It's possible they will all give you a wild goose chase.

"No, talk to this person" repeat.

Twitch is full of idiots and they just do not feel like dealing with issues. Maybe they got a bit of the pignosis too, because they might think Phil will become homeless if they take action.

 

[Sparkletor]

The humidifiers bullshit.

Step one plug it in.
Step two, put water in the water container. I know you have time to pour water because you can water your bamboo plants.
Step three press "on".

The keurig bullshit.

During one of his several condo tours, Phil shows he has the single cup model keurig in his closet. He also has that big one he used for ramen.

Phil claims he only has the single cup one now. He hasn't had the big one in like three years.

What happened three years ago? Panda moved out.

My speculation is that if Phil really is telling the truth about not having the big keurig, after the break up he gave Panda his $600 coffee maker. And paid her cell phone. And let her drive the BMW.

Alpha male

How often does DSP pre-order games months in advance then when it gets close to their release claim he's not sure if he can afford them?

Just realized he probably does this regularly. The second question is does he do it to manipulate people or does he do it because he genuinely buys things immediately and doesn't remember because he has no self control and the memory of a goldfish?
