OneyPlays - have a boy... with friends

[Professor G. Raff]

Man, having watched some of the stream now I feel bad for DD both because of how much stuff out of his control happened, but also by how much of it is totally self inflicted and could have been avoided if he wasn't such a overly-sensitive egotist. He seems to have big time main character syndrome being the only warrior of truth and justice who must suffer for how righteous he is. The whole thing is so weird, going off about those darn evil anti-sjws and how cancel culture isn't real followed by "anyway, my life is ruined forever because of that time sjws cancelled me for disliking their stereotype game".

What really get me is his seeming thought that he's basically owed the support to be able to be completely independent through donations. I'll admit some of the reasons he was talking about people pulling support were petty, but it it makes it sound like he sees people who might pull that support for those petty reasons as people he has to almost trick to keep paypigging which feels counter to the giving everyone a refund shtick. Furthermore the facts he is so bitter towards the attention he got from being on OneyPlays is annoying since probably something like 90% their donations have to come from the recognition it brought him.

These are just observations from watching 1/4th of the saved 4 hours which is in itself only 1/3rd of that total stream. DD is a very smart and funny guy, but god damn does he have major personality issues. It's a good thing he lets this out only in small bursts because if it happened commonly or all of it was archived he would absolutely be a lolcow despite his weird personal definition of the word and lolcow culture as a whole so he can be "above" it. Julian is actually a fucking saint, DingDong is lucky as fuck to have him.

I guess in summary since it's what DD thinks I'd say...
Libs!

 

[You gain Brouzouf]

Yeah but he's also going on about how Matt is being performative while he himself is going like "-sigh- I'll refund you Matt -sigh- It'll be a whole thing because of Amazon but I guess I'll have to do it -sigh- do I even have the money for it? -sigh- I don't think I have enough money in the bank for this -sigh-"

The sighs were real, I'm not joking.
It doesn't matter if Matt was being performative or sincere with the donation, he spent the money of his own volition, you don't have to make it a point of honor to give it back, more so at your own catastrophic detriment; you don't owe him forgiveness or a favor or anything for doing that.

If you absolutely must do away with the money once it gets to you (after Amazon's cut), fucking donate it to charity or something.

Also he mentions us right at the end. "Kiwifarms would be like: libs!"

But would we be wrong, Dingey lad?

He always does this and it became baffling years ago and he never stopped doing it. It's like a weird point of pride for him to reject money people send him specifically through Twitch.

A lot of people really like DD and when they hear something like "My ear has exploded with infection and I don't have the money to treat it and it may causer permanent hearing loss", those people who like him will obviously want to help out if they are able and he provides ways for them to financially assist through subscribing or tipping him while he streams. So to hear him talking about his medical and financial issues and then hear him say "no 20 dollars is too much I'm going to refund you after the stream" over and over again got a little maddening after a point.

Why even have the option if you don't want the money?
Why bitch about refunding it if that's your choice?
Just turn off the monetization crap or accept people's generosity and deal with the emotional trauma of being a considered a Twitch streamer.

Julian is actually a fucking saint, DingDong is lucky as fuck to have him.

Huge agree on this.
I always liked Julian but I thought he was the weird one of the group.
Turns out he's overall pretty well adjusted and is a lot better at handling his emotions and these situations than DD. His weirdness seems to be totally relegated to the realm of fiction.

Getting mad at the internet is a sad way to spend Christmas holiday. Waiting for replies from publishers must be excruciating and I guess this is how he likes to burn off stress.

I think DingDong's decision to refund is the strongest way he could make the point that in no way what so ever he wants Matt's money. Giving the donation to charity is still in some way accepting the money. Matt Watson is the definition of the self centered LA bugman.

I don't understand what DingDong means when he says he's been blacklisted. Blacklisted from what? The indie game industry?

I think he means anything in the Game Grumps or whoever got really pissed at him sphere of influence, but I like the idea that he means the indie game scene and that's why all of his projects are taking forever to progress.
The Dream Daddy curse forbids him from ever finishing a game but he keeps trying anyway. It's a truly Sisyphean task.

When he had the ear infection that was the only one time he kept all the donations which was something around $1,200 or $2,200 if I remember right and he was both surprised and grateful about that. I'm sure he kept that given the desperate situation but otherwise he really holds onto his principals. I remember one time someone jokingly put in their donation message; "Dingdong, read this message to give me my hit of dopamine today." which made him pause and let out an uncomfortable sigh saying that's "exactly what [he's] worried about" and couldn't even read that obvious joke without feeling weird about it. I take that he has a hard time separating fans that are genuinely entertained with his style and personality, and obsessive parasocial fans which may be why he turns down big donations.

I was zoning out at that part but I think he was talking about the LA letsplayer clique. If he was blacklisted out of the entire game industry though that wouldn't be a surprise because you only need to piss off or under preform for one studio to get on one. On top that he supposedly has friends who got into G4 and work for Blizzard (in the nature of him only giving small bits of information any time he tells a story) while he's incredibly critical on those companies - it's not beneath any of those executives to blacklist someone who's outspoken and there are countless examples of that once you look into it.

The first thing is probably what happened but why is he acting like that's still a problem now? Everyone who likes OneyPlays knows who he is and because of that he in theory he can be really successful on his own no matter what he does.

The failure of Knights of the Old Republic and post gamer gate.

TORtanic was great fun to watch with the /v/ threads shame most of the footage of the horrifically buggy beta is lost now because EA kept DMCAing them.

 

[Ham-Ham & Eggs]

Just caught up with most of the stream happenings. It's both upsetting and infuriating as someone who used to be a real fan of DD's work & streams.

Anymore I find myself admiring Julian's work ethic much more. Guy is doing both indie game work and degenerate furry commissions nearly all week while his boyfriend is whining on stretched out streams when he isn't coding nor networking. These streams are real good for money on the side but as we all know DD refunds over the stupidest shit (except Matt, that was well deserved), so ultimately these become a waste of time that could be used for game development under a Patreon that's teetering the edge of becoming a scam.

All that said, I really do hope DD eventually saves up enough to get decent therapy. Clearly what his mother and the Game Grumps retards have done is permanent damage. The rape is extremely saddening too and that can break anybody. It's honestly amazing someone like him is still even alive after all of that, that's some real mental strength which he can definitely keep improving on.

Perhaps I'm being too sympathetic for some random internet furry with a ton of baggage. Though hearing the unusual tone he's had this time around, it feels like this was a breaking point from a long winded internal struggle. I wish DD the best and pray he follows through with easing off the internet.

Oh, and to fill the DingDong Kiwi Farms criteria: LIBS!

Archiving the one bite of characterization we have for DD's "12 year stalker" Dvergrs.

That is another way to look at it. But I feel like at this point, if refunding the money back is that much of a hassle, I'd say just stick with it for now and continue to expose him. Matt for sure is a smug piece of crap for coming out and sticking Ding Dong with something like this and it's not like the audience during that twitch stream didn't see matt for who he really was. I wish i could see the chat for that stream in all honesty and their reactions to dd going off about how matt and the office backstabbed him and julian.... you guys think julian took back what he said about wanting to fuck matt after that lol

if i had the time i would go through the entire pokemon red lets play and edit out all of matt's dialogue and replace it with pokemon sounds

Looking at the archive of DD's stream was kind of sad? I mean he's been bitching and whining for the last years since the Dream Daddy shit, but when he brought up how he "left" a recording of him telling Julian about the truth and to call out the fuckers who back stabbed him was strange. It's like he does feel powerless and terrible for being thrown under the bus by people whom he thought were his friends. I think the only stream where he never brought up any drama or grievances was the one where he played The House of The Dead for the first time and that's because he focused more on the game over everything else.

Anyway, his donation refund habit has been common since he began streaming. I get him to an extent since getting money from strangers can be embarrassing. Yet, he hasn't closed donations nor he discourages people from donating. If he really didn't wanted people's money he should just close donations, no need to be dramatic.

I guess his inability to cope and overcome his issues might be because of his shitty early years. It's bad enough to have a shitty school life, but having a terrible life at home too will fuck you up for life.

I know it is retarded to ask, but does he really mean "libs" as in liberals? or is it some cryptic shit where he is calling out another /v tard by comparing him to the evil farms?

Ah ok I apologize then. It's been a long time and I must have just gotten the timeline mixed up. I don't want to mischaracterize DD because he is someone I do really like.
I do still think his whole refunding thing is a weird point of pride for him. I get not wanting to be seen as a grifting Twitch streamer who milks their weirdo mentally unstable fans for every penny they are worth, but again, just don't even have th eoption there or only put up the donation link when you want or need help.
He does seem to like leaving those options there for people and then complaining about it when people use them.

I'll admit that I haven't watched any of the stream, but reading the posts here makes me so annoyed. It's not a moral good to turn down money. It's honestly extremely insulting to turn down a gift, especially when you implicitly ask for that gift by having a Twitch channel capable of getting subscribers and a big donation button under your stream. It's even more frustrating than when Jim or null refused superchats out of some sense of pride, because Dingdong is explicitly citing financial problems while sighing about how much of an inconvenience it it to refund donations.

Understand that there are people out there who have a lot of money, and dropping a few hundred dollars to solve someone's problems that they thought were going to bury them is a reward in of itself. To see that money sent back to you, or redirected to a charity, just to watch the recipient continue to wallow in self pity is enough to make me MATI.

Sure, but you also gotta kind look at it from a different perspective too in all honesty; this is a donation from a guy who kinda had a hand in your downfall. A guy who only spent this money to make himself look good, not because he genuinely wants to help you personally. It's a tough subject imo because you need the help, but would you take it from a scumbag who thinks less of you and is only doing it because he wants his conscious to feel at ease and come off as a great guy or not?
Had DD and Matt been on better terms, I'm sure DD wouldn't have mentioned refunding everything back.
I will agree with you 100% that he has the option to remove the donations button if it's possible, so it kinda is strange that he'd have it there.

All I can say without presuming too much is that if I was beefing with someone who used to be my friend and they did something like that, I would take that as an invitation to start a private conversation and see if some bridges could be restored. I wouldn't just publicly tell him to fuck off unless I absolutely hated him and thought he was being totally selfish by reaching out. I personally have a better opinion of Matt than that, but I'm not Dingdong and don't know the whole story.

i think dingdong did try reaching out to Matt on multiple occasions and even took Matt a minute to come out and accept he messed up and acknowledge it, but the dude never really messaged back. He just ghosted them from what ding dong says and the last time they even messaged was when dd and j came back to LA to visit and even then matt took back wanting to hang out with them. DD has every right to grieve about his frustrations with Matt. Literally, Matt coming in and do the sub thing was their first interaction in years lmao.

I don't have a good opinion on Matt and I don't think I ever will.

 

[JamusActimus]

DD comes off as bitter and gay.
He should stop feeling sorry for himself and move on.

The doxxxing sucks but the coming out thing is just a cope. I bet most people in his family knew he was a fag.
Also it's unfair to be mad a the GG for what their fan did it's not like they have absolute control over them.

mhhh if true it kinda justifies him bitching actually.
