Inactive Andrew Dobson / Tom Preston / CattyN - STOP DOING SEXIST CRAP

Yeah, it's not a great idea. While there are games that let you crawl around as a baby (Who's Your Daddy being the first that springs to mind), the necessarily smaller maps, lower perspective and slower movement don't exactly suggest the thrill of exploration.

Plus the humour of the show (and I use that word advisedly, because it never really did it for me) is that the babies continually discover what we know to be an otherwise normal part of everyday life but have their own misconceptions about what it is ('this flushing toilet is clearly an intergalactic whirlpool, let's send Reptar to the otherside of the galaxy') and then have an adventure based on same that relies heavily on implausible circumstances and coincidences ('Oh look, Chuckie's Space Reptar toy I ordered arrived in the mail, I'll unpack it and leave it over here as a surprise reward for when he masters toilet training'). IMHO it doesn't really translate well to the sandbox experience (Player 1, proceed to the nearest toilet and hit the flush button until all dialogue options are exhausted, mission complete, 500XP).

All I really remember of Rugrats was the Halloween episode and Reptar on Ice.

But I feel like the right design team could make that concept work. If you were just wandering around the house as a central hub, and could set up different situations/items that would lead you to a crazy fantasy world with it's own obstacles and goals. Different babies having different strengths and abilities. I'd probably check it out, even a dumb idea can be pulled off in the right hands.

Of course if an open world Rugrats sandbox were released, Dobson would be the loudest voice shitting all over it for any minor differences from the show, and would probably complain that none of the babies were openly lesbians because he's kind of a sick puppy like that. Dobson is actually a lot like a crazy feminist with a degree in women's studies who complains there aren't more female scientists. He's not going to actually do any of the work to create or support the world he wants, he's just going to bitch that people are doing what they want instead of catering nonstop to him.

There was an old Playstation game called Rugrats: Search for Reptar. The Pickles' house was the hub world and different items (Thorg doll, Grandpa's teeth) were used to take the babies to the places based off the different episodes (though the gameplay itself did not age well). Of course, Dobson would know of it if he does a little research, but at the same time, he hates anything that isn't Nintendo.

I'm actually kind of surprised he's still following Nintendo given all the salt he's thrown onto them lately.

Maybe he's like MovieBlob and he's tied his identity to them. I wouldn't be surprised if Dobby fantasizes about being Samus or Zelda, much like how Chipman wants to be Mario so desperately.

There's no open world Rugrats game because Rugrats hasn't been relevant for over a decade. Nobody would buy it. Nobody is nostalgic for Rugrats

You assume that 'relevance' and 'Andrew Dobson' are allowed in the same sentence.

Lest we forget, Dobson still draws Link with brown hair because of a shitty cartoon from the 90's that people don't remember save for a single line of dialouge that somehow became memetic. He tells people to Google his 'jokes' because nobody gets the obscure humor. Hell, he still thinks people give a shit about that "Butterfry" Ash released a decade and a half ago.


Do you honestly think Dobson's interests would genuinely align with anybody else's? He's the worst example of a hipster in like, eveeeeeeeeeer.

Jesus, Dobson, pictures of things don't help with emotional issues. Women don't need pictures of kittens, men don't need pictures of shows they (might) like.

The only pictures that help you are the ones you've created, and that's not because the end drawing itself is what makes you feel good, but the knowledge that you've created something than you're proud of.

In a limited sense pictures can be a sense of distraction or comfort-based nostalgia, and even then it's only ignoring a problem, plus you need to tap into your own personal emotional self to decide what you'd like at that particular time. Some days I'm in a mood to throw Tomahawks at snipers in Call of Duty 19, some days I want to sketch, some days I want to waste my time attempting to teach you simple concepts. But until I get into that bad mood, not even *I* know what I would like, so a complete stranger has no chance of guessing.

Homework exercise: The next time you're having an attack of the sads we'll send you a screenshot of Rocko's Modern Life and you'll realise how stupid the whole concept is.

What is that all about? Is it another: "Please put all other parts of life on hold until the twitter narcissists are done with their virtual signaling circle jerk?"

I understand why people put a flag in their avatars when something bad happened in country X, but people have also the right to not fucking give a shit.

If it's about the GamesCom in Cologne and the Munich KillingSpree, I assume noone in Germany really gives a shit about them showing FPS gameplay. Well, Marlene Mortler and assorted idiots aside, anyway.
