DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[gaarashatan]

Phil was the valedictorian of his class. He's really smart. Just look at how well he did on the school portions of his Bully playthrough.

ive been thinking about that and started to wonder about that. cause you know sometimes schools and other classmates will make it seem like theyre popular or won something. hey heres the prom king, a mentally disabled person. ya know? that type of scenario and knowing phil and his special needs. doesnt seem that far fetched, whatever though just a theory to think about when nothing else is happening in my day. just another thing to pass the time

 

[Nixxit]

For those trying to guesstimate Phil's I.Q., a very handy way to do that without knowledge of what each result really translates to is to know the I.Q. curve is a bell curve (It's made to be that way).

This means that your answer to the question "What % of the population do you think is smarter/dumber than Phil ?" directly correlates to your estimation of his I.Q. You can look up the particular percentages, but for reference, 85 I.Q. means roughly 84% of the population is smarter than you. And yes, so long as you stay relatively close to 100, 1 I.Q. point ~= 1%, starting from 100 I.Q. that is obviously 50% both ways, isn't it handy.

Personally I'd guesstimate it at 80-85. I'll admit the valedictorian status (And the finance degree) are puzzling data points (I will never be unable to think the famed road accident gave him some sort of concussion that for some reason he never fully recovered from), but some of his play-throughs point to near dysfunctionality - and unlike your parents who would fail at those games too, he has no unfamiliarity excuse, in fact he's probably among the people who play games the most on Earth. Along with the complete disaster that have been the last few years of his life and his current state, I think that saying a full sixth of the population is dumber than him is actually pretty generous to his ape brain.

Also, contrarily to what someone said, the average I.Q. does change because ultimately the average I.Q. is a measure and thus relies on a tool (The tests themselves) that for one isn't perfect, and secondly does not evolve fluidly with the population - but contrarily to what people think, the average I.Q. is increasing, at least broadly speaking, and the tests are regularly updated to counter-act that. And if you think this change is small, do consider the current population tests around 115 on average using the first established tests, so as I said, the current average person would be within the top 16% back then - according to those tests anyway.

I hate to burst the anonyfag bubble, but I'm 99.9% dspositive that the channel (and voice sadly) isnt his. The YT channel was created a week ago. Hats off to whoever is running it (not my cup of tea), and getting the shit comments lol, but it's not real, sadly. Having said that, fuck that furry!

Edit: Didnt watch the stream, but skimmed through the khantributions.. $112 total. $93 from 2 cretins. Not even gonna repeat their names at this point, but they reside in the 3 (or so) stooges. $18 from the rest of his positive and supportive audience.

@Surly Muppet might be interested, but there was a $1.30 tip from one of the gays early on, that phil stumbled his way through. It was clear there was more on the message, and there was a code word used. About an hour later, that same gay tipped $67 (with a less than rousing reaction) and there was apparently no message attached (dsp didn't read anything, at least), but a $3 tip right after (from a different person) had a message attached, which Dave read.. Clear case of either coordination, or early tips being sat on.

 

[tzgnilki]

I like LSB too but I sometimes feel like the constant $1 super chats from some of the same people over and over, and, for lack of a better term, derailing the stream trying to make it their own with really dumb, cringe jokes.

His dog whimpering triggers me too but I'll admit that's just me being a monster. Can't change who you are I guess.

one thing I miss about the tevin restreams, was him not giving a shit about 90% of dono messages or chat, he literally had a notification that said "thanks for the dollar", lol

whereas LSB has the patience of a saint giving everyone a shoutout and thanking everyone, and always making conversation with the chat, and he's always thinking of ways to improve the viewer experience, especially with the salt mine/radiation planet segments, breaks up a lot of the monotony of DSP's streams, and he isn't afraid to play games like super smash and cod with viewers

I can see LSB does his best to ignore/not encourage the whimpering, he even went through the effort of getting special toys where he put peanut butter inside, hoping it would keep rocky occupied during the stream.. rocky tore it up though lol

gotta appreciate LSB's effort, he's not just sitting on his ass saying there's nothing he can do, also doing it all while having a job

have to add something I don't like about LSB, is the pissing contests he gets into with people in Phil's chat, it's a bit weird

and an1337 needs a lil bit of credit for not having donos enabled, & I like his knowledge on obscure anime games, like super robot wars which didn't have a western release so I hope he exposes me to more of these kind of hidden gems

I can't actually believe that DSP tried to dispute the "if everyone around you is an asshole you're the real asshole" saying by twisting it to mean you're actually way too nice of a person. Yeah that's exactly what I think of when I think of DSP; way too nice, way too giving.


I like how LSB is cringe but an1337 isn't. Bro. Don't get me wrong, I like both of them, but I also realize that An1337 can be cringy as fuck too. I mean they're DSP restreamers, they're deep diving in the autism vortex, of course they aren't going to be perfect Chads.

An1337 isn't my favorite restreamer but his videos are 10/10 quality content are absolutely up there with my favorite video channels.

he's still cringe he's just not as consistently cringe as lsb is, lsb is immediately unlistenable (and his dog doesn't shut the fuck up either) and an1337 is just cringe sometimes, it's not as bad though

I guess we all understood Phil wrong. I mean the Twitch's mission statement clearly says that you broadcast yourself to the world. Not gameplay skill, yourself. Your persona if you will. And this is what Phil does to a T. He broadcasts himself as the most needing beggar. To the whole world. We think he is simply pathetic because he forgets that he made his daily quota in one stream. No no no. When he streams he braodcasts his very being. and his being IS a beggar. He will never be anything else. A beggar. That's why he memoryholes successful streams. He must begin at 0 again so he can put up his best begging performance for all of us.

I think LSB is an OK guy, but I can't listen to his nerdy, nasal voice. I'm not a fan of American accents at the best of times, especially when the person sounds like they have to shovel grease from their face every morning.

He also doesn't really bring anything new to the table, he just points out the obvious. He's doing what most detractor content creators do, riding the troll wave to relevance.

 

[Agent Proper]

Nobody mentioned Agent Proper yet. Our own @Proper Pangolin he does pretty good restreams now that he got a working microphone.

Shout outs. It isn't to often I get mentioned when it comes to restreaming which has taken a back seat to life, but when I can stream the dumpster fire I have a good time doing it now that my internet connection is a bit better.

When it comes to other restreams, I stopped watching Tevin a while back, loved the back in time streams, since he has been around for awhile I appreciate the lore knowledge. Glad he is affiliated with Twitch because you know it bothers The Roach.

@LyteSydeByll has been always been a cool dude with me, I am a big fan of him doing the Vtuber thing and running with it, he will continue to be successful if he covers Phil or not, go watch his RPG gameplay streams if you want to watch someone enjoy playing a game.

An1337 has been on fire since he came back from Susan's Gulag, dropping hot edits and clips, his streams have been fun to watch and he switches over to playing games if Phil gets too boring (he is always boring).

@PutridElephant (DDM) has his automated streams set up perfectly and most of the time you can find me there using the controller emoji for some sweet controller slam SFX if I am not streaming.

@JTLEXL also restreams every now and again, but I haven't stopped by for that experience in some time.

 

[Very Honest Content]

i'll be real with you, i don't know much about IQ ratings and how they work, like I know higher is better but I don't know what the average is or any of that.

however, I will tell you that I believe he has definitely gotten more stupid over the years for the simple reason of the stream chat hand holding him. I have a complicated hobby with programming. I used to have a friend who was good with programming, anytime I had a problem I'd ask the friend to solve it and he would. So I never had to think or try, then my friend went away, now all of a sudden I'm piecing shit together and figuring shit out and my skill level has vastly increased from when I depended on my friend.

phil is like that with stream chat, only stream chat isn't going away, anytime he gets stuck or can't figure something out, he doesn't think, he just leans over to stream chat and demands answers. Your brain is a muscle, and just like any muscle if you don't use it it gets weaker. I think he is absolutely dumber than when I first saw him because he doesn't even have to pretend to try to figure shit out on his own anymore, which traps him in this loop of just becoming more dependent and dumber as time goes on. I think if you took stream chat away he definitely would not be able to complete games that he did complete when he first started out on youtube.

"Average" is 100 IQ. Below average would be anything between 80 to 99. Above average similarly is in the 101 to 120 range. Anything above 121 and up is "gifted" as you approach genius levels (we don't need to splice those up for Phil though obviously, rainy day fund, after all.) but most importantly, 79 and below, means you're considered retarded. 0 is Hartley Hooligan pants shitting veggies in human form. 20 through 40 would be like barely verbal but knows their name (Timmy on South Park basically). 41 through 60 can sort glass and might know where they live (Jimmy on South Park potentially). 61 through 79 is CWC territory, easily naive and misled, more than willing to believe the dimensional merge is still on its way for reasons of stupidity. I could see high school DSP having a triple digit IQ that has degraded into double digits due to the decade of vidya game playing being his "adult" job and the chat always being there to feed responses for even simple puzzle boss solutions though like you're postulating, I just don't have the viewing legacy of him that you do to judge it as well.

I think if you sobered him up, put his glasses on him, sat him down at an IQ test, and told him Hulk Hogan was giving blowjobs to the high scorers, he'd probably clock in around 100. His deficiencies are just plain pig-ignorance, inattention, and laziness, not literally being unable to comprehend things.

He fucks up similes and allusions in speech enough to make me suspect he's in the below average range now and may have been for some time dating back to living on the east coast though. Fighting game techniques don't lend themselves well to scoring high on an intelligence quotient measurement after all...

Who do you niggos watch as far as restreamers? Tevin is pretty much out the game and LSB is too busy having a life unlike Phil, and I've never really looked for other options. Or are some of you sick enough to watch the raw, unedited khantent?

I've seen CWC's unclit, Yaniv and ADF's stink ditches and assorted executions at close range with firearms in my time here. Phil is annoying but not outright disgusting by comparison to that. I get the need for dramatization for comedic effect but at the end of the day, he's a dope playing a bunch of naive suckers for an endless no win scenario gambling fix, it's only offensive to my intellect, not my gut.

It's funny that this topic would come up. One thing that always struck me was how folks always spoke of the ways Phil is autistic. When I first started watching Phil, I didn't necessarily agree with the (semi-serious?) charge that he's on the spectrum (Powerlevel: Am an aspie myself.) He always struck me in videos such as his cup noodles review, for example, as simply being a really stupid individual-- I'd say closer to high-70s/low-80s in terms of IQ -- more than someone with autism. More specifically, he came off to me like the stereotypical clueless but well-meaning airhead everyone knew back in high school, with the exception that there was nothing remotely well-meaning about him. In his more recent videos, on the other hand, he comes off as perhaps marginally more intelligent, but his autistic tics -- whether due to his increased isolation from the world around him or other factors -- have grown more apparent. It's a weird juxtapositioning: he comes off as less overtly clueless in a traditional sense, but has simultaneously grown openly neurotic and toxic in a way that's even more off-putting.

Your response suggests it may be more a degradation of Phil's emotional intelligence more than his intellectual intelligence wasting away over his streaming career then. In my relatively short time watching him I could see the IQ being like 105 at high school graduation in the top range and now having slipped into the 85 or so range, which is a significant, even if it's not a completely disabling, loss of intellectual function. Phil seems like he was always emotionally stunted however, and has suffered a massive loss of that personality function though, "Why am I toxic," indeed?

(Also, shame on me for getting the thread onto this and missing an "r" in your in the post that took it up as a topic to discuss, already been quoted so I'm leaving it though.)

 

[Balr0g]

Isn't Tevin a Twitch partner now? I heard that at the beginning of 2021 that he wen t from Affiliate to Partner. Probably the reason he stopped doiung anything about Phiol since Twitch doesn't like it when partners are each other's throats. Though it would be interesting to see how Tevin's number are holding up. Is he close to Phil or even above him? that would make for a fine correction his his ban years ago

 

[QwahlityKahntent]

1) Phil's of average intelligence

no, he's actually really dumb. not just saying that because i don't like him, but because he's actually really dumb

 

[ElevenYearBeggacy]

I think LSB is a cringey fag too. It would be funny if his dog rocky got its head caved in.

TMI my guy, you're revealing far too much of your power level.

I like how LSB is cringe but an1337 isn't. Bro. Don't get me wrong, I like both of them, but I also realize that An1337 can be cringy as fuck too. I mean they're DSP restreamers, they're deep diving in the autism vortex, of course they aren't going to be perfect Chads.

An1337 isn't my favorite restreamer but his videos are 10/10 quality content are absolutely up there with my favorite video channels.

I stumbled onto An1337 only about a month ago, & he is fantastic. Eventually something will fuck it all up, so I am enjoying this while it lasts. He doesn't go on ad nauseum with insufferable bouts of kumbaya/unity shit, he hasn't adopted or accepted any pet names for his viewer base (srsly that shit is Lady Gaga-tier bodycringe), doesn't engage in open argument with the sky about why he's better than DSRee, I've never heard him jerk himself off or make pointed comments about his viewcount, and if he's getting paid yet, it's totally off my radar. (And if he isn't, that's probably why the whole thing hasn't shit the bed yet.) His sense of humor is so fucking sharp-witted. And he's fun. I like it.

I really wish I didn't hate his fucking guts for being so awesome, & then playing that one single insufferable autistic meth-anthem on repeat in the background half the time. It is the worst thing I've ever heard. It's so fucking bad that I have to dip the second I hear it.

So maybe he does do all the irritating shit that everyone else does, but only when he's playing that insipid fucking song. I dunno. But I do enjoy everything going on when it isn't playing.

His videos tho, yes, fuckyeah/10.

The reason is that DSP bored him to tears and hasn't been doing anything that has been interesting to him, see it as a long break. He has been slowing backing away from DSP content since before he was partnered. LSB and Annl337 while I do enjoy their content they just aren't on Tevins level and never will be imo.

So IQ stands to Intelligence Quotient. Which if youre not aware is a fancy word for the result when you divide. It gets tossed around a lot and abused. However, its just a measurement of your intelligence compared to the average. As in it is, very simply a percentage of how smart you are at your age and development, compared to everyone else. The average is 100. If its less, youre dumb. If its higher, youre smarter. Because its your score divided by the average score. Ergo, if anyone tells you the average IQ is dropping. Their IQ is pretty low. Because the average is 100 and always will be.

Now if youre like at 70 you are clinically retarded. I think Phil is in the 90s. He is just too dense. And actually, concepts like a "rainy day fund" or understanding crouch jumps are the kind of thing an IQ test looks at. And while he manages to feed himself and dress himself, he does seem a bit short on understanding higher concepts. He might be 80, but thats kind of contingent on whether he understands his constant begging is constant or he genuinely just doesn't realize he does it. Which I think helps explain the audacity of his begging in a lot of ways

Lastly, he is decreasing. Like I said. Its based on age and expected development. Phil probably peaked early, so he could br valedictorian, but he never matured and his last step of abstract thought never seemed to develop. That ability to think ahead. He just has no concept of it.

no, he's actually really dumb. not just saying that because i don't like him, but because he's actually really dumb

Agreed. Definitely in the 70s. And Hooligans were far smarter. They knew when to punch out.

Phil is currently begging and we are going over the begging details, probably because he wants to lock down $1000 over the weekend so he can memoryhole it and beg hard for 3 days before his day off.

He allegedly spent literally everything raised last week on bills and 'repairs' that he didn't feel he should be 'legally responsible for' but the company doing them 'disagreed' and are insisting Phil pay. I assume this leaves us with two options. Either his current condo association told him he was on the hook for some repairs that had to happen to the condo, or he got a call from the condo association in CT that told him he had to pay for some additional repairs, and Phil is angry because he feels MidFirst should be responsible for this. I suspect it is the latter because he has a weird fixation on his legal responsibilities there, pretending he didn't flake out on hundreds of thousands in money owed like it was the condo's fault that he owed that much, and MidFirst for not trying to make it easy for him. That, or, of course, this all a lie and it's just a mysterious reason why the money for the tax guy disappeared after it was raised.

On that note, Phil says he needs to 'have a good weekend'. He has made over $700 in tips on Friday and Saturday. He has already exceeded what his tips goals request on a normal weekend, but he has not acknowledged that he has been having a good weekend already.

Condo dues and internet bills are due immediately after this weekend, and he has his groceries and supplies for Jasper (once again). This is the identical beg as last week. He also confuses himself and says he needs money with taxes, then clarifies he needs help with tips to pay the tax guy. Foreshadowing is a powerful technique - I look forward to hearing about taxes at this time next month.

He is again asserting that tips are everything he has coming in right now. Which is a convenient thing to say exactly at this moment, since any earlier or any later and this wouldn't be true as he'd be getting paid by Twitch, YT, or Patreon. Good timing on that one Phil. You're totally not a liar, just a greasy scammer playing semantics by saying that on the only weekend it would be true.

Regarding his sub goals, he said that 600 appears to be the 'legitimate' number of subs on the channel, and he is hoping to 'grow' to 725 for the goal. He is also going to check the poll for the viewer's choice because he suspects voter fraud. If there was, he will, and I quote, 'Fix the poll'. Real subtle, Phil.

EDIT: We're getting an extended 'protect yourself' segment today going in on detractors stalking him and nosing into his business. He is moral grandstanding trying to say that he feels bad for us and wants us to get better instead of camping on forums making up conspiracies. Translation: Phil is getting pissy that we're breathing down his neck as he outright sloppily lies and hides money to beg. Literally nothing else has happened lately, so there is nothing else that could prompt this vitriol.
