Dobson feels like one of those dads who becomes lamer the more he tries to be cool, except instead of your dad he's your creepy unwashed uncle.

I just gotta say, my dad's much cooler than Dobbo. He's a laid-back artist who wears Hawaiian shirts with pin-up girls and plays video-games that make Dobson cry muh-soggy-kneew.
 
Dobby also did Dr. Seuss like art.
Oh, no - you're not telling me he's mutilated Seuss as well? I'd previously thought that my lack of interest in anything to do with cartoons, comics or vidya meant I was immune to Dobson's charms - but it transpires he's succeeded in ferreting out something I loved as a child - and desecrating that as well! :heart-empty:

Oh, and just to say - I've known people who were driven mad enough by grief or depression to attempt suicide - and they were single-minded enough in their efforts to end their despair, that it never occurred to them to play to the gallery like some fat diva on the last night of tour. Before, I admit, I felt a modicum of sympathy for the man (I must work on this bad habit of mine!) - but following this little stunt of his, I now feel like hiring public billboards on which to exhibit copies of his "art". Childish, self-indulgent drama queen...

I have a dear friend I've posted about a few times here. He's extremely schizophrenic and paranoid. Every time he's tried to kill himself, he calls me after he takes the pills. or cuts himself, and it's always to say he's sorry. Every time I've been lucky enough to get the paramedics to him in time. But I know one day they won't make it, or he'll pass out before he can call me. And it's something I dread. So yes, suicide baiting is one of the most pathetic things you can do. Putting people who love you in fear for your life is cowardly and attention seeking at best. I wish someone had called the police and had Dobby involuntarily committed. Maybe he'd learn to shut his God damn mouth when it comes to mental health and self harm.
 
I looked at his Patreon Page, & one of the pledge milestones was a Skyrim children's rhyme book.

Why? Skyrim is not marketed to children. Would the book be for older geeks to enjoy or something?

It's like making an arts & crafts kit for the Dragon Age series. Wrong material for the demographic.

Theres a part of me that really wants to see this.
I know its gonna be fuckin awful but i just have to see how god damn awful

Fair enough, though I notice your friend only told you his intentions after he'd carried them out. Dobson never even got that far - let's face it, if he had attempted suicide, we'd have heard all about it - and tbh, I seriously doubt he ever had any real intention of carrying out his threat...

One thing that baffles me about him having it as a milestone: He has the capacity to create it anytime.
It's not like he is working on that monthly wallpaper.
He could start selling it/offering it as a reward, instead of waiting for it to be officiated by a milestone he knows will never be reached.
Oh, but what am I saying?
That'd require work that has no immediate return on investment.

I'd agree with you there. I think there's suicidal, and than there's wanting to be dead. My friend wants to be dead. He isn't making cries for help, he's actually doing the shit that would kill him. I think he mostly calls me because he doesn't want me to be the one who finds his body. I think it's fair to say most suicidal people want to be dead, but they don't have the "courage" to do it and need help getting over those feelings. I wouldn't even say Dobby is suicidal. He just wanted a little attention and to maybe get people to stop laughing at him, so he threw a little pity party for himself.
 
It would be filled to the brim with lesbians. You know, for kids!

I could just see him sitting behind is desk, fists balled and eyes screwed up in concentration trying to work out words that rhyme with tribbing and scissor .


Then he just gives up and goes back to spaltoon

Yes! Thank you for saying that - I was a little worried you thought I was saying that anyone who says so much as a word is a faker! As you say, there's "can't bear to live, too scared to die", which is certainly serious business. There's also the "cry for help" - something I also feel should be taken seriously (regardless how wearingly repetitious it becomes). However, "a cry for help" is one thing - straight-up attention whoring is quite another. And we all know just what Dobson's all about, which makes it very hard to take his threats seriously.

Or at least, it is now. Remember how, when he made his little announcement, Kiwis were phoning emergency services and swooning in horror and all the rest of it? And Ol' BlueBalls tweets "I'm fine" a few hours later? Well, even then, I would have been prepared to make an allowance for the man and assume he had a bad moment, vented publically, then hurried off with the intention of ending it all - but at the critical moment, couldn't bring himself to go through with it. But - for Ebeneezer Manwhore to then announce that he was taking a sabbatical and "didn't know when he'd be back" - only to waltz back in like nothing had happened less than three days later... It's at that point I begin to think to myself, "do you know - and forgive me for being a sceptic - but is it just possible, is it at all within the realms of feasibility, that Dobson wasn't truly suicidal? That he was, in fact, being a lying, self-indulgent drama queen who played our asses in the hope of obtaining asspats and Patreon crybucks?" And - forgive me for being so insensitive at what must be such a difficult period in Dobson's life, when he is clearly wilting under the the hideous psychological burden of fine art theft and Team Cats coming second - but it's at this point, I begin - ever so slightly - to lose patience.

Having spent most of the week bedridden due to an injury, I can't help but feel weirdly grateful to Dobbers for being a massive fucknugget and keeping me entertained. Though it could just be the painkillers talking...

I'm just hoping for the poor few fans who support his patreon to backlash when there's no wallpaper this month either.
 
I don't think that he will be able to do a skyrim ryhme book (apart from being a lazy fuck). Because Skyrim IP is own by Bethestada. I don't think they will let Dobson get near their IP and try to sell shit for money.He would get sued up his ass.

Thats my secondary reason for wanting this to happen.
Dobby would be forced to confront a problem he cant just block out.

How has he avoided IP breaches on all his other merchandise shit......other than no one actually wanting it.
 
to all the people bitching about dobson's understanding of batman, remember that he hates the Zelda games because he thinks Link is a blond.
I think you meant that Dobson has this weird obsession with Link having brown hair because he accidentally had it in like one game and this bad 80s cartoon. He just won't fucking let it go.
