TGWTG Dan Olson / Folding Ideas - Pseudo-Intellectual Hipster, Child Pornographer, and All-Around Exceptional Individual

[Sissy Galvez]

GAMERS

This is probably one of Dan’s dumber takes. No “gamers” have not forgotten SimCity, Civ, Anno 2070 etc.

What happened was casuals got involved in gaming and became the largest segment of the gaming population (not women). They only want CoD, Assassins Creed, Halo, etc. A good portion of PC gamers still play those strat games or they wouldn’t keep making them, idiot.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

A majority of what I play are 2D platformers, so I have no idea what he's talking about.

Also, trying to mathematically prove that a movie is the worst? I hope he's doing that ironically, because that's the type of shit I'd expect Sheldon Cooper to do and then afterwards have soyboy fuck face weirdos complain that TBBT is "black face for nerds!".

If I didn't know he was cripplingly stupid I'd assume he was trolling.

Does Dan not realize that people can and do die in SimCity?

Excuse me while I terrorize the local populace with Bowser.

 

[AnOminous]

I don't think he kept playing it once he realized there was no CP in it.

He certainly never played it long enough to have a nuclear reactor melt down, a Godzilla attack, tornados and earthquakes, and raise taxes as high as you can all at the same time.

Dan's really getting into it with TheQuartering, but they both come out looking fucking exceptional. Archive links, but if someone really wants screenshots I'll do it.

Dan's response to TQ's response to the above tweet.
Dan namedrops KF, take a shot!
TQ offers to host a livestream, because of course he does.
And Dan with the zinger, to which TQ accepts.

 

[Water-T]

Gosh, I guess that's why nobody buys or hears about games like Tetris, Animal Crossing, Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Mario Party, the Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton series, or all the tons of sports, puzzle, and card games out here that have little to no combat?

Wait..is that Queer kids pedogroomer bitch there too? Fuck these people are all horrible.

Spoiler: Dan is an idiot

List of best-selling video game franchises - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Games without guns:

FIFA: 260 Million Units, it's the game printing money while EA figures out Star Wars and Anthem.

The Sims 200 Million Units. EA's other money printing machine.

Minecraft 170 Million Units. Not just a game, this was a cultural phenomenon for a while. Even Dan must have heard of it.

Need for speed 150 Million Units.

Mario Kart 140 Million Units.

Madden NFL 130 Million Units.

This doesn't count all the 'free' mobile games your girlfriend plays at the laundromat.

I'm less bothered by the tweet then those 8.6k likes. I always wonder about Dan. Is he really this stupid? Or has he mastered the art of trolling to the point where pretending to be retarded is his actual job? Video games are outselling movie tickets by a wide margin so gaming isn't some weird niche hobby enjoyed by an autistic few. He's treating video games like its a political movement or darkest dungeons cult. Is 'Cull of Duty' the next 'Reefer madness'?

You want to clear this up and give us some examples of gamers getting radicalized by COD or offended by the existence of other games Dan? You sound like an old lady with this culture war BS.

"Ha ha ha, look at these people obsess over SJWs and fight imaginary strawmen! Now let me just sit here on Twitter all day obsessing over "gamers" and fighting imaginary strawmen."

Well Dans clearly never heard of sports or puzzle games, but how does he know what they're offended by anyway? He's on one of those chain blocks, seethes with rage at the presence of a GG's ghost and shuts down any attempts at dialogue. The closest he gets to interacting with Gamers is Breadtubes clucking circles. His opinions on what gamers do and do not like is about as on point as my thoughts on the Sami folk music scene except I don't proactively try to avoid Sami music.

"Dan Olson:Heh, gamers. Am I right? They never like non-combat games.
Also Dan Olson:*makes non-combat video game which is somehow less of a game and worse than Gone Home*"

His own game, btw, received no attention at all. In fact, I'm probably one out of like, 10 people who actually played the game. I don't even think his crowd liked it.

Was it a cheese pizza delivery simulator? Did you get a white van?

And let's not forget the entire genre of simulator games that are popular in parts of Europe, or the weird simulation games like Soda Drinker Pro, racing games, flight sims, rhythm games as well. To nobody's shock, Dan Olsen is a tardlet

Is this gonna be like the Destiny incident, where Hambly was expecting to be able to just run his mouth and not show up to anything so he's going to just go "Uuh... g-gotcha! This was all an ingenious plot to get me attention! The master manipulator has bamboozled his foes once again!"?

It was a literal walking simulator. Literally all you did was either walk right or do fucking nothing. That's all there is to the game.

I like a good sped fight! I see Dan is spending his Father’s Day arguing with GAMERS on twitter like a good social justice warrior.

Let's be fair, Dan's not a pedo. He's merely completely willing to use the exploitation of children to attack his ideological enemies.

I guess supposedly, the same people making the videos are the ones complaining about non-combat games, but it's a real roundabout way of doing so.

Or, Dan is an idiot.

Edit: still, I have to give Dan credit for answering the question (albeit in a condescending and incompetent manner), instead of saying "it's not my job to educate you, shitlord" and/or blocking the person and possibly whining about sealioning.
