It's time for another DSP crashout.
While testing Nintendo’s new Virtual Boy, DSP once again found himself frustrated as viewers began spreading clips of his stream across the internet.
Another Stream, Another Clash With Viewers
The original Virtual Boy was released in 1995 and quickly became one of the biggest commercial flops of its time. Marketed as a portable console with three-dimensional visuals, it ultimately failed to resonate with customers and slowly turned into a meme that felt lost to gaming history.
That changed in 2025, when Nintendo announced it would bring back the console as an add-on for the Switch and Switch 2. Shortly after its release, the internet’s most likeable gamer decided to test the product live on stream.
There was just one problem: while playing on the Virtual Boy, it is not possible to record or stream the screen directly. As a result, DSP had to narrate his gameplay so his audience could understand what was happening. Naturally, that combination of limited visuals and typical DSP commentary led to some unintentionally funny moments.
However, DSP was not too thrilled when clips from the stream started spreading across the internet. He started off by complaining that people were taking his clips and presenting them in a negative or humorous way. According to him, other streamers did the same kind of content but did not receive the same level of hate. He also took issue with Redditors joking about him, which is when he finally snapped:
"You're jealous that you sit there looking at clips of beyond [...] Reddit and other places all day, and you have to have a miserable life offline, probably in a nine to five job flipping [...] burgers, while I get to sit here and make content for an awesome engaged audience all day."
He went on to argue that even if clips of him are spread across social media, he does not actually benefit from it:
"So, do I actually benefit from the trolling behavior of people on the internet, who steal my content and clip to make fun of it? No!"
Of course, Reddit did not take long to respond, opening a thread featuring the clip of him crashing out. Among the many users making fun of DSP, one Redditor summed up the situation perfectly:
"I don't know what's more ironic, Phil making fun of people with jobs, or Phil, the guy who spent years doing let's plays with a camera filming his TV, has somehow forgotten how to do that the one time it would have been the correct thing to do."
In the end, it was essentially a typical DSP stream. Complaining about something that is completely normal in the creator space: getting clipped. Once again, he managed to shift the blame elsewhere. The pattern feels familiar. A complaint turns into a clip, the clip sparks debate on Reddit, and DSP reacts to the fallout. And if history is any indication, it likely will not be the last time.
