DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[PutridElephant]

I'll cut him a break on this one until or unless it's revealed that he was doing something else (like visiting Rochelle). Ear infections are painful.

How did he afford to get ear medication? Why didn't he get any while he was resource gathering? Is ear medication business related?

Man down!

Dood, he pressed buttons and I'm blocked. Too much of a hassle to check incognito on phones. Tldr?

Generics are beneath Phil.

So, is it really ear infection or did Nancy send some appraisers over? Or is this Post-Drama Syndrome?

Roach memes aside - does anyone else get the feeling we're watching the final season, or at least the beginning of the end?

I think we should take a moment and be thankful for the lols we get to enjoy right now.

Less series finale and more reruns for eternity imo. He'll keep streaming and e-begging forever but once the bankruptcy wraps up I think we'll just get the same handful of mini-sagas (REEEEEEing over his new mortal enemy, whaling, shameless begging, leaks) for the rest of the series. The only really big things we haven't seen yet that I can think of (Soulmare leaving, parents getting sick or dying, him getting really sick) probably won't be all that interesting since he'll try to keep it all under wraps except for trying to tard cum it for money.

I agree with the sentiment that bankruptcy is the "final season" though-this is the first and probably last time in ages where we he will be in a situation with things totally out of his control.

EDIT: I know the "really big things" I listed would be life altering for most people but IMO Phil is just too complacent to change even if all 3 of those happened in the same week. He will not change unless somebody literally forces him.

Man down!

Taking all bets, is this cover for WWE Champions or another bankruptcy related hearing?

 

[King of Not Playing Games]

Most antibiotics are like a week-long course. Is he just not going to stream for a whole week?

My first instinct is just to not fucking believe him. He always finds a way to avoid streaming for a day or to whenever he has to let drama die down.

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

I'm betting bankruptcy shit. Probably something to do with being 30 days after his hearing.

Are ear allergies at all common in adults? I searched quick and apparently they can be caused by allergies but I've only heard of it in kids under 4.

 

[Anonymous Dimwit]

Ol' pig's ear syndrome will strike when you're BTFO by drama-seeking lawyers or just a bankrupt and lazy piece of shit. Ya hate to see it.

Phil has an immune system of an under 4 year old. Does that count?

Is that giant piece at the bottom the antitragus? It's huge!

 

[Mr.PiggyOinkOinkOink]

Hasn’t this dude been shitting on people for weeks about having bad immune systems and being at risk of catching covid? Then the one day he leaves the fucking house he gets an ear infection lmao.

You can’t make this shit up

 

[WiFi Assassination]

Ear infections are far more common in children but they definitely happen in adults. I think Phil has said he has seasonal allergies before and those or URIs commonly pair up with them in adults.

Also his immune system is probably complete dogshit due to never leaving the house and his terrible diet. I wouldn't be shocked if this dude got scurvy.

Then I take it back, he is the epitome of health.

Spoiler: I fell behind in thread and it got this long nothing I could do.

Would DSP be more tolerable if he didn't market himself as a particularly skilled gamer? Is his ego that overpowering that it would supercede his "King of Hate" "Retro Master" messaging?

Obviously just posing this as a hypothetical, but I'm trying to zero in on what would be tweakable to make him not as strongly... him.

He'd need a broadcasting degree that he actually took the lessons of and utilized would be my first and foremost choice. The business degree wasn't used by him but if he had gone to, say, the Syracuse school of broadcasting and implemented the concepts he would have been taught there to his live streams you wouldn't get the pig snorts outside of gameplay un-muted for one, and that's probably the overall detractor gear grinder first place finisher, so it'd be a start.

Hi! This is my first post on KF, but I've followed for quite some time. The big question on my mind after seeing the sub bahmb is, will the insanity ever end?

It will, but, what if the real mental illness was the kiwis we farmed along the way?

It baffles me why Phil refuses to play WWE games as at least a regular weekly stream. It's one of the very few games he genuinely looks happy and enjoys playing, even with the recent games being broken shit. And it would be a good "chill" game like you say. It doesn't have to be 2k20 either, there's tons of older wrestling games that would draw an audience and be silly fun. But, Phil has that weird elitist attitude about playing older titles like that.

He literally refused to handle President Rock not rag dolling over the top rope for him in a battle royale though, Phil has the worst case of jobber-pout-face ever discovered. If there's ever a No Mercy remaster though he should get on that with ruthless aggression, totally agree.

God, I really do love Phil as a lolcow.

Top US lolcow of 2019 according to the Mooby voters as the runner up, maybe next year he can bring the trophy home to the nation again and defeat Yaniv's combined ball wax sweetheart search tampon fetish based winning streak for the title once and for all?

It really is wild how much he’s jerking off pieces of clothing and glasses for money. If you told me at the start of the year this is where the shit was going I would say “he’s not that fucking weird come on”

Oh, you sweet, summer, piggy...

This is why I continue to doubt the people hyping up this Fan Fiction 7 salt. I'll believe it when I see it and we're enjoying clips of it but frankly there hasn't been a hard final fantasy in about a decade, and that's if you think they were ever hard. I mean you compare even the first Final Fantasy to Ultima IV and it looks like a casualized cake walk.

I just wish people would stop hyping potential salt. Let's wait until there actually is salt, plus if Phil does read these forums you're just giving him a chance to read guides.

I so would kill to see a Quest of the Avatar truth serum loaded DSP character choice sequence even if there was a rage quit when he couldn't piece it all together once his virtue is signified, I wouldn't give him a bill to see the vest during it, but I would raise a skull of Mondain within all eight cities on the world map for sure. You know he'd just guide cheese it to Honor but I expect his real prime virtue to end up at Spirituality by way of the chill 2017 vibe variety if he was honest and true about the choices.

I'm on the fence about DKR. There are certain types of games I wish he'd stop playing because at this point it's very easy to predict the experience the viewers will have and...
hadn't played a sports game in a while that wasn't wrasslin' but I'm pretty sure the last one was MLB and that was coma-inducing, so.

Chat member gift card balanced him the purchase of Madden last year, there was some decent salt and it was much more entertaining to watch than the baseball simulator. Agree with your general point though.

Not just wraslin, but any NATIONALLY televised sporting event. Get ready for empty stadium baseball everyone! Florida showing it's thirst for money outweighs it's common sense.

In the 2016 midterm election cycle the Florida Governor election was framed by the national media as the closest proxy for that mythical Trump(DeSantis)/Bernie(Gilliam) match up you'll never get to see now. Then you add in Linda McMahon pledging almost 20 million in tv ad buys in the costliest advertising market battleground state on the map on behalf of the White House and you can see why the DeSantis governor's mansion sent the mayor of Orlando out to announce they really need those worked matches in an empty converted warehouse. Luckily for our cultcow, you can't get coronavirus from pulling NWO Macho Man into your faction anyway.

$80 tip from straight cash homie. Vest time!

Edit: DSP walked away to get the vest in the middle of camping, and someone showed up to kill him.

Literally have not laughed harder at a lolcow this year than when that happened.

We often assume that most of his fan base is made of up teens that look up to him for whatever reason... but time and time again we see that a lot of his pigs are around his age. I guess it makes sense that they would have the most spare cash to throw at him but you would think they would have more sense.

Older millenials, which Phil would be an example of, are entering peak spending age in a few years, so they are near the top of their generation's spending habits curve's arc peak right now, it thus figures they have almost as much entertainment cash to spend today that they ever will in their lifetimes or will soon in the next decade. Millenials are one of the biggest generation populations ever thanks to them being children of actual baby boomers. Math says zoomers who spawn off a smaller by comparison GenX parents will be a smaller population representation unless something really resonates with them memetically is my guess? As for sense, don't make me break out the mobile game whaling thread hyperlink here. Bejeweled with collector's mentality wrestlers attached is going on Phil's financial tombstone.

If we count words as hurting somebody, then I think we all here have to look at ourself first for either "hurting" or enabling. I personally do not believe in this, in my opinion shit that is said on the internet and internet alone without any rl involvement (unlike a threat), means fuck all. If I call you an asshole in a chat or a stream, it's something else than telling it to you in your face (not that I would give a shit either way). That said, of course it was an asshole move by Phil. tl;dr: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never break me.

Yeah I like Sparkletor's postings here because I always get a hearty laugh reading them, but I agree, that was a total 'muh feels' post for injuries to others when obviously the point is DSP has not done physical harm to anybody, not that he leaves them undamaged by association completely or doesn't lighten their wallets to get his financial lifejacket out of the closet for an hour here and there.

I'm talking about criminally hurt...As I said, Phil's most harmful behaviour is manipulating mentally vulnerable people out of their money. However, it's up to Twitch to protect vulnerable users of their platform from predatory streamers, and so far Twitch have not chosen to remove Phil.

Twitch should get rid of the users who are the accused problem, not the streams they just can't quit though. It's not DSP's fault a wheelchair wants to get highway robbed online with a smile on their face and it's not the site's fault either, it's the end user who just doesn't want to smarten up and change they way they act.

...What makes this rant even better is that, apart from the gay men scene Phil refers to (which is actually a back washing session.), the entire scene is shockingly positive about trans and gay folks in general. To the gym leader (Jules in this game) being a strong, respected trans woman, to Cloud's crossdressing reinvigorating a dress maker. Positivey fucking unheard of in the 90's.

Nah, this was all covered almost every single week without fail if you watched the daytime talk show hosted by Ricki Lake in between powering down your PS1 after saving. Phil's reaction to it is one a lolcow would put out though all these years later as a mature adult however, on that I agree.

pwdubztippedadollarthirty cheered [93] times totalling $50.70 (avg. cheer of $0.55; 2.84% of total)
pwdubztippedadollarthirty is a $4.99 level sub.

You guys 'member when pwdubz was totally done giving Phil money? Yeah, me too.

I was under the impression that's a parody account of the real (actual) pwdubz.

I keep seeing claims DSP hates Final Fantasy 7 but have literally not seen evidence where he claims this? My impression has been he has claimed it is overrated and he disagrees with the fans of it who claim it's the best in the series due to plot being a half baked mess on first release though, essentially it fails to live up to it's historical hype legacy, not that it's a bad example of the series or that it's a game he outright hates, just he doesn't like it as much as those who claim it was the series best do, later post has a 20+ minute video I watched to the end and doesn't contradict this so I'm still waiting for the proof where he says that game is shitty outright, full stop.

Bodied by Rackets, now all that's left is a Street Fighter 1 cabinet match to decide who is the real pro gamer between the two, hope that ear infection is cleared up to deal with the wonky controls baked into that fucker!

Can confirm that allergies can lead to ear pain. Basically, the histamine reaction causes the tubes that connect the ear and throat to swell. Imagine the pressure you get while flying, but your ears won't pop.

 

[Fuckyoudad]

I had an ear infection a couple of months back and it took about 12 days to clear up completely. Best case scenario he takes one day off, comes back and sits there whining about his ear for 90 mins on prestream then completely forgets about it. Then we'll get some clips akin to the last time he claimed he had a cold and when people were telling him he didn't seem sick he'd immediately start the kiddy grade throat distress.

Ouch. My ear. It really hurts. It does.

We already know he's lying because it's far and away his most consistent bad habit at this point.. but if he really does come back in a day or two with it trying to power through the tuff times then it's certified 100% in my mind that he's truly become such an absolute weirdo that he actually just enjoys lying to his fans and is completely unwilling to share anything genuine with them ever. He really has become a cartoon character at this point and I doubt he even knows who he is anymore when he looks into the mirror. Best part is the one he lies to and scams the most is himself.

I mean I like you’re arguing semantics at this point, just because there may not be an exact Clip of him saying the game is shitty(even though I feel like it does exist) doesn’t mean he doesn’t think that way. He’s spent years disingenuously complaining about the game to the point it doesn’t sound like he’s even fully experienced the game fully, and the whole point of project 7 was he was stuck playing the game for all eternity or some shit.

like we’re talking about phil right? This dude will shit on a game for 10 minutes but then try and fence sit and say they games alright. I’m pretty sure he put a game he very clearly hated playing in his top 10 games of the year recently. Like the dude has put in a lot of effort into complaining about things he doesn’t like about FF7 for years to the point that it’s clearly he probably hates it.

he really just sounds like a salty FF6 fan who hates how popular 7 is compared to 6, at least from a casual perspective.

 

[David Davidson]

So suddenly Phil gets an ear infection (seemingly out of no where) and he only tweets it out about an hour ago?
I know that is when he usually gets up and then gets ready to stream. Did he sleep through the "excruciating pain"? Must not be that bad then OR maybe instead of an ear infection, he has a liver infection... from drinking gin... last night... he's hungover.
