Same for me, I was first introduced to Rob when Pause and Etho were playing DvZ with him
Mindcrack -> TTT -> Rob
pyro -> mc -> etho dvz vid -> rob
I don't remember who the first mindcracker I watched was, but I know I eventually got into the big group TTT games

Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak who the fuck added the video to a google doc lmfao
that's probably from me I made a google slideshow from most of the pinned messages here for the people who left after the most recent rob controversy but weren't in this server since some of them wanted to know more
read through this channel again and saw that
lmfao
thanks, I was curious who it was

Replying to polu #polutropos Click to see attachment 🖼️
I looked at the guy's reddit account, this guy is just a liar and contrarian
that's all his account is
he's also got an a frightning number of reddit comments
Replying to Kyolus #kyolus damn, this brings back memories. I has quite active in the forum and as a wiki editor back in the day and when i commented some feedback on one of the live shows this is exactly the kind of response i got
Just because you seem like you might be interested, here's my scuffed backup of the Urealms wiki
http://phijkchu.com:214/index.php/Main_Page
It doesn't have the original theme, and there are some parts that are slow to load because I have not taken out every urealms.com call on the backend
I've talked to a few people on the wiki team previously, I think a couple are still in this server but are inactive
No one had the original theme file, and we couldn't get into contact with the guy who might have had it (though Github mentions are scuffed)
and Niso has been asked about it in the recent past
he wants nothing to do with Rob and deflects from talking about anything from their projects together
Rob can't maintain friendships with people he works with
he's sort of up-front about it too, but I don't think people ever realize the degree to which he compartmentalizes the two
Niso (like Tom and Danny before him) I believe eventually had a moment where they needed Rob to treat them in a non-work capacity for something, and Rob was incapable of doing that
Danny's was Unforgotten Realms production related, Tom's was a financially related to the UQuest kickstarter, Niso's was time related (professional and other personal projects)
it happens with more than just his direct partners too, when Rob needs something from you as a fan/artist/collaborator/whatever, he'll really play to your perception of him
And while I think you can point to that and say "Rob's an asshole" or "Rob's manipulative"
I think it's more that people like Rob so much (personally or professionally) that they WANT to look past that regardless
Pre-drug, pre-mentally ill Rob was talented af and about as charismatic as they come. And even now there's enough of that old him left that he can bring out on rare occasions to spark that feeling again
idk if that all makes sense, but I like to be more charitable than just saying "omg Rob's a bad person"
Because there's not really anything I'd point to from the years and years of his past dealings and state outright "Bad",
but rather its that disconnect with how people perceive him and reality, and people react in very different ways when they come to realize that
