Although I forget why he was fired from the yogscast so maybe it was for good reason

wasnt it something about Sexual harassment or something

he interacted inappropriately with a minor

or 3

its kind of sad that a youtuber harassing/grooming a minor is just like, standard fare drama now

its almost expected

Oof

Just saw Alices appartment

That's vile

So true

unironically using the word vile? i cant believe you spooky

I think rob actually went net positive over december

yeah 115 ->116

good job rob

I guess I am back, I can check if we missed anything important

I am caught up on robs server, literally nothing worth posting has happened in almost 3 weeks

...?

you can fund a well organized modded mc server for 1k

^

and thats just if youre expecting like 100 players

a couple hundred dollars is fine

he's acting like every server needs to be hypixel, or it's not worth doing

hypixel has genuinely like

thousands of nodes

its pretty fucking impressive

do people even play mmos anymore

other than final fantasy

like what its osrs wow and ff

I was going to say, FF14

but idk if anyone under 20 plays it

I think it might be up there with lasagna Max

i see even the most niche games randomly online

but i have not seen even a SINGLE screenshot of what modern wow looks like

but from what i can tell tons of people still play wow which makes me really confused how I see literally nothing

it has to just be boomers that do nothing else

I think wow trapped the kind of people who grind dailies, into a forever loop

ESO even has a very solid playercount still

somehow

which I actually don't understnad because I see NOTHING about ESO

Guild Wars 2 is still alive

somehow

and there are autists who play it

spooky GW2 is MASSIVE

still

that's the most dead-end MMO I can think of, that's still going

I just don't understand how all these MMOs can have so many players'

and then I see literally nothing about them anywhere

well ask /v/ they'll say it's all bots kappa

Like shitter games that get less than 1k players i see more posts and random screenshots of than mmos

Back when the grind was to say you were making an MMO wow killer and then ask for investors

this would probably work

but nowadays

I think it's too tempting to do limited early access survival shit now

versus being an MMO

you see that Rust hit a new peak playercount this week

somehow

idk how rust is so popular

I thin rusts appeal isn't the survival shit it's more that it's a game made for griefing

it's the time it takes to do anything

that works when it's new/novel

and everyone is just messing around

but at this point, how does anyone spend 6+ hours getting kitted, and not feel like they're wasting their time

i think the like

10x mat servers

are very popular

but spooky there's also people that take it like

insanely seriously

you can pay to have like the rust mobile app

that alerts you on your phone

when your base is being raided

yep

There's also a pretty massive skill ceiling, all the weapons are super unweildy, the guns have insane recoil patterns, but you can "learn them all". same with the helicopter, it's super hard to use but if you master it its super easy to do tricks and insane flight paths

probably adds quite a bit to the autism

I think there's something adjacent to that genre that's fun, but not Rust itself

why is this a thing

idk why people who play rust a lot like it so much, but i like watching a few people who make rust videos. more of a fun to watch but awful to play kind of game for me

MMO popularity is very strange now since only older audiences play most MMOs. They very much stay within their own community.

Phew, that's a lot to get through (just the pins mostly). It's funny to see my own username up on a list somewhere of the "super" donators or whatever tier they were. Weird to think I gave the guy hundreds of dollars and I wasn't even watching him much at the time. I liked his older stuff and just thought the people he worked with didn't enjoy the RP so much and wanted to do their own thing - not that there was a bunch of shady shit going on behind the scenes. Someone mentioned something about an arrest? Like if he was doing coke or whatever Guude said, was that mentioned anywhere? Hard to find since there's so much stuff in this discord. The dude seems to be pretty messed up in the head and dived way too deep into a rabbit hole about People > Content. Like I get it, sure you want people to recognise you as a person and artist rather than just the videos you put out, but man does he not know how to handle that. I wanted to ask, what about the other people around him? Has Haunter ever said anything? Does he still hang out with Deadbones? I remember watching that random video with Pause a while back with the zombies. Are they good friends still? Or even Coe or Roamin or anyone else that was a part of that group?

there are a couple people here (me included) who have been significant donors to Rob at different points
