If he wants to have virtual families and obsess over toilets Dobby should just go play The Sims.

Considering he has a virtual family in there the toilet thing is pretty much his virtual day job.

I mean it's not like he actually plays the fucking game or goes on adventures properly in it.

Hard to do that at 10 fps.

Now that I think of it, maybe his obsession with toilets has to do with the airport incident. Dobson has to find and clean toilets wherever he is and make sure no radios are inside on any of them. Poor old Dobs never got over that experience.

Really? Ffs, that actually made me groan.
I'm wondering there's no Wucester or Briannapleaselovemeton...
Also, I have a feeling the "White Watch Tower" will turn out to be some really lame and hamfisted SJW-thing...

I see Dobs likes his worlds/maps just as he likes his women:
Blown completely out of proportion. If this is 1/18th of the map, this thing is huge.

The names in general are a mismatching hodgepodge, partially fake gaellic-sounding words mixed with regular english and faux-"different culture"-esque names - heck, even a german surname. Unless 50 different tribes with entirely different cultures and languages have decided to all randomly settle exactly there for no discernable reason, this doesn't really make a lot of sense. It's a rather common issue with Fantasy lore, you'll find little villages with really mundane, down-to-earth names exactly next to places with names seemingly taken right from Star Wars. No way is there going to be a place called "Hapfree Forest" next to "Solsectur Hreinsa".

On the other hand: why? It seems he's putting so much work on rather unnecessary worldbuilding, granted it's better to have this whole thing thought out, but does he really need such a huge map all thought out? Especially since you have to ask yourself "How large does the setting have to be?", you can't just cobble together a Pangea-sized continent and hope it'll make for a good setting. What I'm trying to say is: It seems to me Dobson is putting some effort into making this map, which is okay, I guess, but in terms of necessity, why does he need it? Is Alex going to tour this entire thing? Wouldn't a smaller but "tighter" map do much better?

I know some people that do the same, when they are worldbuilding for our mutual hobby. They seem to think "Bigger is better" and "just mix everything you like into it!", so you end up with a pseudo-medieval setting with steam-powered trains and a continent with a size that dwarves Eurasia - cause that'll make the world interesting and relevant, right?

PS: I'm baffled Dobshire isn't closer to Sarkeesland.

It's not often you get to say this, but even CWCVille had better world building than this. (Especially liked that CWCVille was about 70% mall space, a poignant observation on modern American suburbia).

In Dobson's head having a different viewpoint is disrespecting his existence.

So he's saying don't have opinions... unless they're mine.

Why are the flowers coming from the neck of a decapitated woman? Why are there flowers and an upside-down head of a woman next to that cringeworthy text?

Good, that might mean he has to actually play the game as designed rather than an even more gimped version of Babby's 1st Elder Scrolls.

Though this means I expect more sperging about Splatoon! now.

What's this?, opinions are only valid if the person in question haven't disrepect other person?. That sounds fair. It's a good thing Dobs doesn't go on a hate spree!:


Oh noes!, guess who has been a disrespectful prick (and those are recent, no "years ago bullshit").
So according to Dobs, his opinion shouldn't be respected at all, confirmed.

So now he's venturing into the land of political commentary by taking pot shots at Donald Trump. You know, attempting to prove you are a less shitty person than Trump is like proving you are a better baseball player than Steven Hawking. Like is pointing out Trump is horrible even worth a tweet? I think his skyrim toilet pictures are actually more insightful than that.

I'm not even that big a Skyrim sperg, but...

*ahem*

Hearthfire is NOTORIOUS for being extremely, extremely, extremely incompatible with mods. This is because mods that modify the landscape of Skyrim, such as mods that modify the textures for the grounds, foliage, etc. can sometimes overwrite the areas designated for the houses themselves. In the event that this occurs, your house will not spawn when you attempt to build it, because the files that are supposed to accommodate the house you are attempting to build are now overwritten with the mods you installed.

If you are trying to run Hearthfire and literally any mod that modifies the environment in any way (or frankly any mod in general because of how weird Hearthfire's coding is, even by Bethesda standards), you need to be extremely careful on what you install and how you install it, or Hearthfire houses simply will not load. I had this issue myself and I eventually gave up and just settled with my house in Windhelm because it honestly wasn't worth all the hassle trying to fix that shit.

Hearthfire bugs are literally some of the first things that come up when you Google the issues regarding mods, Hearthfire, and Skyrim. I learned this from Googling for five fucking minutes. For being such an avid modder and player of Skyrim, Dobson knows shit all about the game.

I like that he has to specify he's talking about men in his sanctimonious little tweet there. AND links that stupid comic again.

Well, although you should be asking something like "Hey, that cosplay is awesome, do you mind if I take a photo, to put it on my facebook? If you don't want that, I won't upload it." and then stand true to your word, I would be surprised that a girl who cosplays as "Power Boob Window" is surprised/embarrassed by the fact that someone wants to take a photo of her.

Based on that horrifying series of popping comics he did, I get the sense that Dobson would have no issue with women creeping on female cosplayers.

Of course he would be okay with it. It's not SEXIST CRAP if lesbians do it.

Kidnapping women and inflating them till they explode is okay so long as as its fat dude pretending to be a hot lesbian thats doing it.

You misunderstand poor Dobs! MEN are the root of all evil, especial straight white men. The problem is that MEN objectify women. It's totally okay if women objectify other women.

It was never a joke Dobby, jokes are supposed to be funny. That is not funny, it's your little arrogant propaganda piece.
