Rob did like halfway transition so I think he could have pulled it off

He's lucky he didn't befriend anyone too big, or he might have obtained a lot more publicity when he eventually screwed them over.

Hes making LOM and DvZ content is this 2013?

This also marks Rob's 100th (normal) stream since his huge mental breakdown in mid-2022

Interesting to look back on both how much and how little has changed since then

Credit to him for sticking with LoM even if it's just for his small core Discord group, they seem to like the roleplay nights they do

Surprised he doesn’t make videos them do you know why?

imo, Rob's pretty much done with content creation, no desire and financially not enough to sustain himself He likes doing pick-up roleplay games, so maintaining LoM makes sense, and when he wants to relax and rp with a small group he has the 10-20 people necessary to do that in his server

He does still stream 2-4 times/month, but I think that's more of a buisness decision since there are still a couple people who will drop money on him when he does, not a ton, but a couple hundred dollars, maybe $1000/month total, isn't nothing

He just wants to chill and have positive interactions. 🐽

Fake positive interactions with fake people by a fake person

pretend hyper wholesomeness is more annoying to me than outright aggression

119->118

He gained 5 patreons throughout the month

strange that people are still giving him money

He actually streamed this month

so that helped

Rob having a dedicated pocket of Dutch fans back in the day is still such a quaint thing

Netherlands remains the #2 country that watches videos on the archive

double that of Canada, which itself is 2-3x higher than each of the next bunch individually (Germany, UK, Sweden, NZ, and AUS)

how many in Daneland?

it's possible that you're being counted as Swedish ngl

holy shit I might just kill myself

because I have numbers for Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, and Norway

but Denmark isn't in the top 30

and I'd have to dig through internal logs to figure out past that

so am I the only Dane?!

no, just that I think all of Denmark is being labeled Swedish

I demand you fix this

which sorta makes sense, since they host all your datacenters, or at least used to

make a Kalmar bin and stop worrying about the national borders

or you could call it scandinavia but that would make too much sense

what did rob do this month?

actually stream

He's started mentioning his Patreon more on-stream

Does anyone know if this was archived somewhere?

Dude fell off so hard I doubt anyone cared to.

so genny was a better actor than guude?

I don't have it, I only cared about the Rob stuff

Twitch vod auto-deletion is such a pain, you have to catch it right when it happens, and for drama/politics stuff, most of them are on-top-of manually deleting it pretty much immediately after the stream ends

so no, sadly I don't have it

imo, I think most of the midcrackers hold a weird grudge against Guude, I in no way think Guude did an even passable job salvaging Mindcrack as it started to trend downward but idk, I'm somewhat sympathetic to the "old man loses control of thing he barely understands" angle

the snake oil salesman seemed really genuine and proud of his product so the angry guy must have been lying

There are certain people in the sphere who I just don't trust much.

one of the reasons i never use twitch is because of the vod deletion

i almost never watch anything live, especially with all the long ads on twitch. So much content lost forever.

twitch adblockers work fine

which adblockers

What did Generik do?

Broadly speaking Generikb was kind of a scam artist. I specifically remember he'd do charity streams where only donations larger than like $20 went to charity (of course all donos went to him directly first.)

Even setting aside the stuff like undisclosed sponsored videos, he'd do stuff like that which gave me an insight into his moral compass.

Damn

Pretty funny btw how idubbz seems to have the same "i'm 30 and have now developed empathy" complex as rob

And the same squirrel fascination mid transition as we discussed earlier and also years ago

I think there is a set list of midlife crisis paths for people who make content online, and Rob and Idubbbz both went down a similar path in some ways

different branches of the same path for sure, but similar direction

its less destructive than the other path we learned about yesterday

Rob kind of multitracked down that path for a bit

but no serious comittment

still says he/him/her in his bio though

did rob have a chat obsessed with tranny stuff?

Oh yeah you were not here for his peak discord arc

yes, his discord was BAD

he dodged a bullet then

He accidentally purged a lot of them, then the whole covering for his boy who was sexting a minor kill shotted the rest of them out of his community

I miss that era

that was the most fun I had estalking Rob, because he did not often do much but his entire community was worth making fun of

Hold on, I have a video from that era

protonjon's twitch streams became unwatchable because of his community and I guess that really spiraled out of control after i stopped watching

One of my favorite parts about that era is he kept making discord channels because the community would get triggered about everything

They couldn't post food in the pictures chat because food was triggering

Dude I forgot how hard I went on this video

I drew some funny things

I miss your old mic so much Pika
