💼 Careercow Andrew Dobson (aka Tom Preston)

Dobby could learn one or two things from, what I suppose it's the most payed artist trough patreon (AND IT'S PER 2 WEEKS), I mean holy shit. And this girl almost daily publishes something, and her rewards are filled with tutorials, psd. files and so on.

She has 5 times more Twitter followers than him

but makes 658 times more money via Patreon than him a year…

But Dobson probably spends 700 times more hours playing Splatoon than her so I guess it balances out.

Maybe they need to give him Walt Disney's brain so he can create, be innovative and be industrious

Install nanny software in his computer. Time his internet access. Block Twitter. Maybe then he'd take up the pencil again.

I'd have just said take away his computer. But he's going to need those Photoshop tutorials.

This. I think if Dobby would take a two week vacation in a cabin without electricity and just brought some books, pens and paper he would realize how futile his little internet sperging and war against the trolls is. Wouldn't even have to be that spartan, just don't bring the computer and don't watch tv, he seems like someone that desperately needs some introspection.

Are console wars still even a thing anymore? Dobbie always acts like he's 10 years behind, so...

Also for those who don't play Splatoon, absolutely no one "plays it like CoD".
You are literally running around throwing paint everywhere. I'm pretty sure he's just awful at it.
Iirc, he was bitching about how he was still at level 10.
I got the game two days ago and have probably put 4-5 hours into it, and am at level 8. I'm not that great at vidya, either, so if it's taking Dobbles so long to level up, he has to be terrible.

So, we can add "Sucks at Vidya" to the list of attributes he mutually shares with Chris-Chan.

It's bizarre how these things work out, it's usually adults that obsess over Nintendo games aimed at kids and kids who obsess over COD which is aimed at adults.

Well. Technically, 'kid's games' are marketed (and made) for almost anyone. It's similar to good cartoons that add some innuendos or humor that grown ups can laugh at (cause really, if parents can enjoy something with their kids, it's the best thing you can do)... on the other hand games like CoD are a bit tricky. They are made and marketed for people who are technically too young to play them as much as they are made for the adult market. The huge number of shittalking 10-year olds is just too tempting to ignore as a niche. Also, it appeals to immature people alot.

This is pretty much why you can shoot Hitler in the Gonads in every Sniper Elite game.

Install nanny software in his computer. Time his internet access. Block Twitter. Maybe then he'd take up the pencil again.

Maybe when he says he couldn't pick up a pencil at some point, he's not talking about depression but rather his fat gut preventing him from bending down and picking up a pencil that rolled under his table?

Dobson's failure of a Patreon should be focus of scientific research. Not so much why it fails but rather why this fat useless wannabe-artist hasn't realized the plain-as-day- reasons why this thing will never lift off the ground.
His output is too low. To call yourself an artist means you should be putting out artwork. And in the best case scenario, you should be releasing stuff that actually has a demand for it. Duh.
His milestones are fucking dumb.
He's giving NO incentive to anyone to actually give him more than a buck.


Especially the thing about his output get me, let's compare:
Girl Genius releases 3 pages a week throughout the year. With bonus material every once in a while. There's only a handful of times they took a break.
Unsounded releases 3 pages a week (sometimes even more) and between each chapter, there's a short break so the artist can rest and prepare the next chapter.
8-Bit theatre released 3 pages a week. Order of the Stick released 3 pages a week as long as the artist was able to until medical reasons prevented him from continuing that way.
Sinfest (as shitty as it has become) releases a short strip every DAY. SMBC releases comics every day (though it's single-panel stuff most of the time). XKCD releases several comics every week and some of the stuff that guy makes is simply amazing (like a comic-live feed of the probe landing on the asteroid)
Dobson seems to release one shitty cosplay image or a crossover image a week... at best.
I can't get over this.

Bet you anything that when he does post Splatoon fanart, it'll be his bearsona as the girl one.

He's too busy making splatoon graffiti

Or championing how the girl Squidkid is the superior option.

And I think that any Kiwis with Splatoon should create some anti-Dobson graffiti

Somewhere a young lesbian in the making observes the horrifying "Check it" image in game and weeps, doesn't know why... except the "the bear is goddamn ugly and scary" thing.

I don't need splatoon to do that...

Is that "Check it" thing supposed to allure to the Doubles-Meme shit from 4chan that was popular 3 years ago?

Well, some theories on that post:

1) propositioning any lesbians that happen to be playing to check out his bike pump

2) shilling for patreon. Surely that word just didn't fit.

3) attempting to act hip about as effectively as "What's da update?"

But it would create such delicious salt if Dobson didn't feel safe on Splatoon!

Pretty tempted to post dobby bear with a bike pump for a splatoon gun on miiverse when I get home....

Both the Battlefield and Call of Duty franchises have been around for 13 years, which is older than the main target audience for Splatoon. I'm not sure if that's meant to be the humour in this joke or if Dobson is trying to illicit this reaction from people instead:

Kinda off topic but that's actually a very nice way to spend a vacation.
Really, it's easier than it sounds and it helps clear your head. Just a small cabin near some bumfuck town and nothing to worry about. It would do Dobb a lot of good.

Not making moolah either. St. Patrick's day was 3 1/2 months ago, Dobson.

Dobson's having a downer about the fallout 4 trailer release

So where would he like Fallout to take place instead? Sword coast? Random steam punk or cyber punk world? We're not exactly spoiled for choice here, nor are we spoiled with good post-apocalyptic games.

He wouldn't. Unless it was an apocalypse caused by aliens using the Inflato-Ray from Saints Row 4 on young buxom lesbians, Dobby just wants to squirt his white ink all over Splatoon.
