general

it was 12k after his artists told him to take them off the pool

pika has a youtube playlist with a bunch of funny clips from that time

so he lowered it to remove how much he said he would pay them

since he made that video without informing anyone

I still miss !tired

didnt he just rebalnce it

to increase the other values

i dont think it went down to 12

Do you have a link?

Sorry, there are a ton of videos on here, not sure which one I'm looking for

he's streaming Gartic phone rn

he'll get to it later

I honestly don't remember what Phijkchu name I had, I just remember I used Dunsparce for the avatar. X(

based

you can be Phijkchu Dunsparce

Oh, thank you

dunsparce made the wiki

lol

our Phijkchu Dunspace left

We have a wiki with a bunch of old phjikchu archived

There was already a Phijkchu Dunsparce, but there were only so many Pokemon to choose from for pictures

oh

Ones actually in the GTI story, I mean

you might like these

we hae all the avatars in our Google drive

Is everything gonna be a cum joke

It went down to 17

because six was the only one to leave

@ me top of next round

because she was the only artist with a cut

Yeah, after trying to find out if the unlisted stuff was going to be made private, I ended up finding a whole bunch of other stuff, and saw Sixelona put out a twitlonger I think that didn't exactly sound so great.

I'll give the only defense for Rob that I think is fair

he was clearly having a complete and total mental breakdown during that whole thing

lot of poor decisions

If I hadn't been following for 15 years now, I would think it's a massive amount of scamming and/or the most dedicated trolls ever, but I've seen too much crash and burn to not believe it's a legit mental breakdown.

well

he's not wrong

There's a lot of added lore and speculation

from that time period

1

id say its a mix of both

i dont think he started intentionally scamming

but as urealms progressed

when he set a 20k donation thats maybe when it switched

but idk

Like, Unforgotten Realms getting canned after the DVDs and T-shirts that took months to produce, there probably wasn't enough people buying to continue making it, and I had (and still have) no idea how monetization on blip worked then to think it was a scam. Unforgotten Quest felt like a scam after several years, but then I remembered that he was keeping a blog about it(though not often updated), and you could see a downward spiral from trying to make a game he had absolutely no idea how to actually make

And he seemed to have just worked himself so hard that he started to completely lose it.

I don't think Rob ever really scammed people, but with Urealms S3/S4 he needed so much money to keep things going that it was unreasonable

He would have benefited from someone to keep him grounded in reality

Yeah, I'm saying if I had just seen the stuff today, it may have looked like a scam, but when having been watching for 15 years, there's been a long, long downward spiral.

yeah

we've been talking about this a fair bit recently

Rob's career online is a giant comedy of errors

and I think that gets to you at a certain point

There was no way it wouldn't

him not taking on sponsors for URL, relying only on a shrinking fan suppot base, while also trying to grow it each season, and wanting to sustain everything on one season of that show a year

It was so disheartening to see the Forgotten Christmas video Johnny Voruz made, with Rob saying he gave the IP to Johnny, asking if there was a potential return for Unforgotten Realms, then the video is removed from Youtube or made private.

yeah

it's just sad hoestly

Fuck

Rob is or was a funny talented guy, but it's kind of all just gone off the rails

its a giant schizo meltdown over the course of 15 years

When I went looking for the Harry Potter Book Club stuff tonight, I saw a video on his Youtube channel called "Chest Hunters" for Genshin Impact. I was thinking it was going to be something like Played It For The Plot, and, uh...

I'm not sure who exactly would find the video entertaining.

everything he does now is for the 10-15 suppporters he has on Discord

5-10

mostly the GTA rp stuff

dont count their split personalities spooky

Yo

This is what he does now

Gouda

I was just about to ask about that

Ididn't get this one

And ran out of time

I'm a bit distracted by the vc right now, but yeah, that's a long story
