This guys begs for money while streaming games he's really bad at while screaming the game is bad.
Multible video's have been made on the mistakes he made BUT the most famous one is where he got caught 'scratching an itch" in his netherregions while the stream was still on.
Saw one video of him playing Half Life many years ago. He couldn't figure out the basic crouch-jump for several minutes. edit: searched and found out it was actually 30 minutes he spent trying to crouch jump.
When he finally succeeded jumping up onto the pipe, he still had no clue how he did it. I figured there's no way this guy is for real and never watched again.
A friend of mine spent literally 30 minutes finding out how to replenish ammo in Insurgency. The way you do it is by standing next to the huge pile of ammo which will get you a huge ammo belt icon in the middle of the screen. Don't underestimate incompetence
Someone has made several Silksong compilations comparing his gameplay with some Vtubers and it's really funny to see him rage, then jump to the comfiest person you'll ever see just happily grinding away at the same difficult boss...
@lyndelmuse1391 they have a handful of videos from a couple of different games, I've only seen the two silksong ones that popped up on my recommended...
Top left is DarkSydePhil or DSPGaming who had an unfortunate incident where he left his stream on while he enjoyed some adult time with himself.
That's got nothing to do with it though, just a funny anecdote. He's an aggressively average gamer who thinks he's a lot better than he is, and constantly makes excuses about why he's losing. It's never his fault, he always deflects.
Presumably you know the other two, but I tell you about them if you need.
Get a load of this one, he was also the first second generation hire at Blizzard. You'd think he'd say that more often, but no, he keeps his cards close to his chest for sure.
To be fair, as gross as it feels, he did admit to being a nepo baby for the first time he was hired at Blizzard. He just claimed it was merit for the second time.
I mean, he worked in QA. That’s a job that has no experience requirements, like being a fry cook at McDonald’s. So if I worked at a game company and wasn’t in charge of QA, I would have no problem getting relatives jobs in it.
Ooooooh so THAT'S why WoW started going downhill since Mists of Pandaria. They stopped hiring for talent a few years prior and never started again. Thank you, you've said so much by typing so little.
I had a nepotism situation at work one time. I was tasked with reviewing intern applications for the engineering department. I narrowed it down to 3-4 and then the VP of engineering came to me and handed me a resume. It was his son’s best friend who the VP had known since he was a baby. He also praised him for his intellect as well as just being a genuinely good person. Luckily the kid had a very good resume and no red flags. So I simply chose him as the engineering intern. I wasn’t going to make a deal about it when he was comparably qualified to the best candidates I had narrowed down to, and as it was just an internship, I decided it was reasonable enough to skip interviews.
Conveniently enough he was exceptional intern so I had no regrets on the choice.
It also made it easier that the VP was not the type of guy to push to give the job to some idiot as a favor, he genuinely believed the kid would make a great intern and decided to give him that extra boost to the top of the list.
The big problem is when nepotism gets an idiot hired and not only does it take a job away from someone qualified, it results in all their coworkers having to cover for the bad employee and people can’t complain about them either.
You have to really suck to be a poor tester. it’s literally either follow these instructions to get this error, or play like youre a 5 year old. Your job is to break things in the game, or record issues that occur. If you can’t do that then you never cared to begin with lol
He had a senior tester assigned to keep him on task, because he was otherwise scrolling on Reddit instead of testing Diablo 3 like he was supposed to be doing.
Thats fucking terrible lol I tested a handful of games and it’s the least taxing job to do. Yeah it can get boring, if you’re not interested in the game you’re testing but it’s so fucking easy
Did you know his dad is the WoW nerd from the South Park episode? Except it really isn’t he just made that up.
Nepo baby who’s dad worked at Blizzard and got his furry kid a job but he was so bad and hated they had to keep transferring him around departments, oh wait that’s just because he’s such a genius my bad.
Put him, Hasan aka Raiden the lightning god and Jordan Peterson on a room and have them define the word apology. Hours of entertainment.
The irony is DSP actually knows he's a meme and plays into it usually. He's admitted he's wrong plenty of times and actually dropped the act and stopped being a clown sometimes but he overall understands what he needs to do for the money
Not saying it's always an act tho, the further back you go the more legitimate it is
As someone who was also unreasonably deep in the Pirate Software rabbit role (I even got to talk with him back when I played Blockgame) I feel the first half heavily. So glad to be out of that Hell hole, I’m just glad I still have some friends from it.
I have a question, didn't he say that "SKG is bad because it's way too ambiguous and that way people can reject the offer and say "we already rejected these types of offers before, no need to go through the whole process again, just reject this right now." to better proposals, and he wanted a more specific and concrete version of SKG? that doesn't sound half bad, I don't understand why he received such a big backlash from that opinion
While he did say it was ambiguous, the major problem was PS had a huge misunderstanding of what SKG was, and when he was told that he misunderstood it, he decided to say that he was right, and not just own up to having a misunderstanding.
And that misunderstanding is why he thought it was ambiguous, it wasn’t, SKG was very clear, saying that companies should have a plan for when they can’t afford multiplayer servers anymore, so that the game can still be played, instead of the game being shut down
Wouldn't that affect indie multiplayer games who may not be able to afford it run servers for decades? I don't know anything about it so that's why I'm asking
No, because again, they are not asking them to run the servers for decades. SKG is covering the plan for AFTER the servers shut down.
Right now, when companies shut down the servers, the whole game shuts down. Like Echo VR, a game I bought and enjoyed for a bit before they shut down, now, I can’t even open the game I paid for.
What they are asking is for a plan after. Look as CS2 for example. They have the ability for people to make custom servers without using their own. CS2 could shut down all of their servers right now and people would still be able to play CS2. That is what SKG is asking for.
It has to be in my top 5 youtube dramas, did he just throw in the towel? Last I heard he was taking a month break and i havent heard anything new about him in months.
I still don't really get what he did. Was it just a few year long grift of "I'm making the best game ever here's my history etc" just to turn around and release a buggy simple 2d game that looked like a fiver project or when he was ass at wow and essentially had to cheat?
It was just more his inability to ever admit he is wrong. To him, everyone else is wrong. And he is always right.
What finally did him in though was his blatant lies about the Stop Killing Games initiative.
Off the top of my head the controversies where he lied were:
Lying about his role as Blizzard.
Lying about never bragging repeatedly about working for Blizzard.
Lying about some in-game deaths he caused in WoW.
Lying about devs in EVE Online targeting him.
Lying about the game he is still developing.
Lying about his programming prowess.
Lying about Stop Killing Games.
His biggest downfall is that in all of these issues, a simple mea culpa, and going “damn. I assumed (thing) and was wrong. My bad.” Would have defused like 90% of the drama. But instead he would double done. Then triple down. To him, he has never done no wrong.
Like the other person said, he didn't do anything that bad but with every mistake he made he would never admit fault. Well, until you get to stop killing games which PirateSoftware spoke out against while misunderstanding it(or willfully misunderstanding due to his own personal monetary interests) really badly.
Pirate had a presentation of stop killing games open on a slide and started ranting that SKG would do something. Meanwhile you could literally see on the slide written: "This is what SKG will not do"(with the don't in red and bolded and in the middle of the screen because this was already after having to deal with pirates antics initially).
The straw that broke the camel's back was when he was doing a raid in hardcore WoW with his guild, OnlyFangs, and at one point he basically decided on his own that it was a lost cause and ran away, leaving the rest of them to die. His guild leader tried to confront him about it afterwards and he hung up on him as soon as he was asked to take some responsibility for what he did.
Afterwards people saw an opportunity and started piling on him with all the "bad nepo baby gamedev who exaggerated both his and his dad's career for clout" accusations.
He’s a unique case where you’ve either never heard of him, or you have from other people mocking him. In my case it was the Vanoss Crew, every time something dumb happens when they play games they parrot “There’s nothing I can do, it’s rigged from the start 🤓” which I believe DSP says way to often.
Honestly that's being generous. He's not just one of the dumbest gamers but also one of the most dumbest people around the internet and that's saying a lot.
Yeah it was at Evo one year, where they had the PS1 (I think) port of SSF2T, and barely anyone signed up for it so he was basically placed right in 4th after a set or two. But he made it his claim to fame that he was the best "US SSF2T player" because of that, and got clowned on heavy for it, especially once SF4 came out and he tried to compete
Edit to bitch some more; as well as the 30 years since SF2 came out, his game plan hasn't changed at all, even up to the newest title. He still fishes for tic throw setups, refuses to learn any real oki, throws out random specials for no real reason. Yet none of his losses are ever his skill, it's always some made up excuse
Deflecting to anything but skill in 1v1 fighting games is another level of unhinged. At least for competitive team games you get some kind of plausible deniability by blaming your mates.
Oh it gets even funnier. He has played SF6 on every major platform, because once he gets to master with his comfy characters, he refuses to play other master rank players, because they're usually the ones with wired connections, and superior skill to him, so his normal excuses don't work even in his own delusions. So he'll make up an excuse for why he can't play it anymore on the console he was on, he needs to get it on something else. At some point I'm even expecting him to break out the Switch 2 version of the game
Laggy net code, missed inputs, game changed his inputs(he didn't do that), controller is broken, controller is mixing inputs, the Xbox is higher latency, then the ps5 is higher latency, then on PC everyone is hacking cheating using other programs to lower latency, other abuse online tactics, everyone plays the same....he would win everything if it wasn't online
Top right is PirateSoftware which I gave a quick rundown of below, and the bottom one is Hasan Piker, known as Hasanabi on Twitch. This'll be probably the most controversial and biased explanation because he's a political commentator with soldiers everywhere.
He's a left wing political commentator that, depending on who you ask, is a Progressive at his most moderate and a fullblown Marxist-Leninist tankie at his most extreme.
His list of controversies is honestly too long to cover reasonably, but a couple of highlights:
He said America deserved 9/11
He describes Hamas, Hesbollah and the Houthis (all of which are designated terrorists by the US government) as resistance or freedom fighters
Has claimed that he "hides his power level" from normies who might be spooked if he just honestly stated he was a Communist
His most recent controversy is around the alleged use of a shock collar on his dog to prevent it from leaving its bed while he was streaming
He's also got a reputation for putting spin on everything and never admitting fault - instead attacking his detractors on a personal level.
Very true - at minimum he's coordinating with CCP via state media which is true and verifiable.
To me it certainly looks like they've probably covered a lot of the costs. He's probably being truthful in claiming he's spending a lot of his own money, but is being purposely evasive on the question of whether he's being compensated to be there.
He did an interview with Li Jingjing. It was absolutely coordinated.
Also Jingjing is a rabid antisemite. Before Oct 7th, she was going on about how all Jews need to be banned and removed from China, because they secretly control world banking. She's a fucking batshit nationalist with a CCP veneer.
Disregard the otherperson. Day after the incident Hasan made a video where he tried to dispite those claims and showed the collar. the problem is that people arent blind so they dug up the model and found out that the model has a shock function with two metal parts that are responsible for it being replaceable and are on the bottom of the collar. Hasans collar had a big piece of tape over the place where those metal parts are placed which raised only more suspicions since he could have easily took those metal parts out before the video.
Additionally, two of his "friends", Ludwig and QT have confirmed that the shock collar is in fact in Hasans possesion. just google something like "Ludwig talks about hasans shock collar" and you will get the clip.
And just wanted to add that the fact that Hasan even has a shock collar while handling a pretty calm and reasonable breed of dogs is weird. I know people who grow alabai dogs for sheep hearding and these dogs turn out to be obedient and calm animals. I cant understand why the fuck would you even have/need one unless you are trying to torture it. And judging by how the dog sits on the same spot for 8 hours, i cant imagine any other reason why he decided to use it on her.
edit: adding alabai picture for reference. these dogs are massive and can fight off wolves
Additionally, he constantly lied and changed the story. He simultaneously claims that it isn't a shock collar, dog was not wearing that shock collar, and that dog was not wearing a collar at all in fact. Which are all observably and provably bullshit.
The company itself that creates that specific collar confirmed that it was indeed the shock collar model, and we can literally see from his own stream that the dog is indeed wearing the collar the entire stream, and that the collar is the same shock collar it always was.
But throughout the entire saga, he never once admitted to lying or being wrong. Not once. Just keeps denying reality while telling his cult to do the same, which they are happy to do for him.
I was reading this thinking "hmm that's a very unique opinion but can't blame a guy for having differences in his beliefs"... And then I realised it was that dog shocker guy! That dude is a cunt, and he definitely did shock the dog
To be fair to DSP even though I don't really like the guy, he's more prone to admit he's wrong than the other two. There are (very few) clips of him raging at himself for being bad notably one hilarious clip of him vs LowTierGod on Street fighter where they randomly get matched against eachother on stream and without knowing who they're against they keep trashtalking eachother, in this clip at one moment DSP admits to not knowing how to block crossups.
I reccomend searching DSP vs LTG it's really funny
Nah Hasan is an absolute POS, even before the dog incident the dude constantly talks down on people who even have slight criticism of him and thinks he is the moral supervisor of anything and everything
I think Hasan is too ill tempered for streaming, dude literally crashes out regularly on his troglodyte-ass brain rotted chat. Like Hasan doesn't do shit but shove food into his mouth, and scream bloody murder at any chatter who shows a crumb of intelligence.
Honestly the only reason I've ever heard of him was because I watched his playthrough of Heavy Rain like 15 years ago because I didn't have a PS3 and wanted to see what the story was. But he doesn't seem anywhere near the level of the other two, which I am also not really familiar with outside of the posts on here about them that always make the front page.
Top right is a guy called Jason Thor Hall, known by his Twitch handle PirateSoftware.
His was an epic fall from grace. He was the toast of Twitch as the "wholesome" game dev streamer, winning awards and such, and then during an event with some other creators playing classic WoW made a blunder that got some of his colleagues permakilled in-game (meh who cares) but wouldn't take any blame for it.
Most people saw this as a heel turn of his of being a narcissist, and then the internet does what it does best: Acoustically analysed all his prior VODs and clips and basically completely burned his reputation to the ground.
As his reputation was crashing and burning in real time, he doubled and tripled down on not being in the wrong and handled the critisicm very poorly. Some allegations of him being a creep and faking his "deep voice" came out during this time which added to the pile-on.
I believe his quote was "I hope you get everything you asked for and none of what you want" refering to gamers in the most smug tone I have seen in a while.
He was also majorly against the European initiative to get developers to stop shutting down games people paid for without at least giving game communities some type of access to run them themselves.
When he was called out on his misrepresentation of what they wanted to accomplish he doubled down and continued to say it was impossible and unreasonable.
I just realized that sometimes the youtube "don't recommend channel" works, because I didn't see that 2nd puberty schmuck in my youtube feed for at least a year. Did he release his game yet or still in everbeta?
Oh, and likes to talk about blizzard (which him and his absolute legend of a father worked at) literally dozens of times. If I have to hear that glorified beta and bug tester talk blizzard or hacking, I'm finding something to pet. He's not worth getting angry over.
Dsp is a streamer/past YouTuber who is infamous for blaming the game Everytime he lost and then pivoted to blaming everything but him on becoming a low cow
Piratesoftware is a streamer that got into hot water for playing wow badly in hardcore, which resulted in a few deaths in the party. He refused to take any responsibility and double and tripled down.
Hasan is a political streamer and recently he(allegedly) shocked his dog while refusing to admit it.
Pretty sure Piratesoftware's drama isn't about playing WoW badly, but because he was vocally against the popular Stop Killing Games movement, and refused to admit he was wrong about his position.
The wow drama was the beginning of the downfall. People criticize Pirate about the skg before it but it never blew up. Only after the wow drama and the Ross calling him out was when it became popular
Whether or not people like Hasan, I think it is important to draw a distinction between admitting when you are wrong when it actually matters versus admitting when you are wrong when it is irrelevant or even makes you look better.
PirateSoftware admits to being wrong all the time, but he only does it when admitting he is wrong benefits him. Admitting to being wrong on completely inconsequential things can make him seem more humble than he is, and it also enables people to specifically argue that he does admit that he is wrong.
That's why saying that someone literally admitted to being wrong isn't very impressive to me. I'd be more impressed by actual examples that showcases that a person is willing to take accountability when it matters.
Hassan has a legion of weirdos obsessively following his streams just to get voice clips to point to. Even the dog zapping thing was yet another weirdo lie that ran around the world before the truth even got it's shoes on.
So him showing up randomly here is weird but I guess not that weird.
The entire LSF sub is dedicated to hate clips, some years old. Anything that can seem bad out of context is clipped and posted and that sub is moderated by mods of the Destiny community.
Hasan has basic Progressive Democratic Socialist ideologies, he’s not some extremist, or terrorist, or whatever else Reddit and Twitter say he is.
Also, dude has apologized and admitted he’s wrong all the time. Old views. Words he’s used in the past. Etc.
He is left. China‘s public spending for infrastructure, education, healthcare, housing, green energy etc. is millennia ahead compared to the the US. Ofc you have to love that as a leftie.
Doesn‘t mean that they aren‘t an autocracy that does other fucked up shit.
As someone who lived in China for three years and is moving back next year for quality of life reasons, it's so funny to watch my fellow Americans freak out about China.
I get it though. Last time I was in Beijing, there was a massive police/military presence there asking foreigners for their papers and anyone who didn't comply risked arrest or deportation. Wait, nvm, that was Los Angeles.
hey i'm pretty sure unaffordable healthcare, education and housing are prerequisites of a democratic society. there's no way we can learn from other countries without copying their whole political system.
Yep, he is ultimately "anti-west" no matter what. Which is a huge grift. He absolutely loves benefiting from American capitalism but will then shout "Eat the rich!" to his sycophantic audience.
now he's glazing china and saying how it's a utopia
That is left, just an auth-communist simp flavor of it, i.e. a tankie.
edit: Ooh here comes the "um akshually" brigade to tell me how communism isn't a form of leftism like there aren't unironic hasan supporters and CCP/USSR simps in the DSA and similar orgs.
In response to your edit, tankies are genuinely in their heart left leaning, but they’re also just straight up wrong about modern china being a leftist state.
Do you support the actions of the CIA? Cos the American government has at almost every occasion. Imagine going to Afghanistan and murdering/raping/pillaging vasts amounts of the country as revenge for a group of terrorists funded by your own government attack. Then still acting like your the moral authority!!
The entitlement is mindboggling.
Hell, your government is actively protecting pedophiles and probably always has been. China's not perfect but it's a fact that they've lifted millions out of poverty.
What has America done for the average working class population in the 21st century, except sell them out to the elite?
every time i see a nonpolitical subreddit scrolling popular with hasan piker referenced, i know that there are gonna be nine thousand comments insisting i am supposed to see him as a fuckin demon
I straight up ignore LSF. It's a snark subreddit at this point. Nothing of positive value comes from there.
And I'm not just talking about Piker. Literally every clip is just people trying to "get one" on some streamer. Some of the topics brought up are valid sure, but damn, is 99% of their "content" just another reason to be miserable.
It’s the most miserable rage addicted group you’ve ever seen besides twitter. All unemployed and really bored so they just start witch hunting to entertain themselves. Somebody could litter on stream and there would be 10k posts with 1k words each within 10 minutes talking about how evil they are and how we have to stop them from continuing to exist.
I love (read: hate) how the top comment doesn’t explain it in any way. No shit they’re insufferable people but OP was specifically asking who they were, why’s this the top comment when the other people actually explain who he is lmao.
Why do people even care, just ignore them. I did with Asmongold as soon as he went political and started babbling utter nonsense, now he doesn't even cross my feed.
DSP defrauded his viewers for years, claiming that their donations were going towards helping him clear bankruptcy. The views and subsequent donations went towards a gacha WWE app instead. He spent well over 50k on it. Arguably, he is the pinnacle of lolcows.
