Spooky Phijkchu rawb
I mean, he pissed off sorta everyone he was having a mental breakdown, and rather from emerging from it with a little humility, he doubled down on the direction

and then he had another breakdown in 2022, which led to him being comitted and again emerged with zero humility, doubled down, and blew his life up again

I was a very casual fan. I think I somehow managed to miss each of these things just by changing interests lol. I didn't watch the last urealms lives, found him again in his GTA rp content, and stopped watching that before it all fell apart, apparently. I honestly didn't know he had any breakdowns, let alone 2.
Spooky Phijkchu rawb
I think it's good that Rob's mostly off the internet now, I don't think he was ever going to conquer his deamons related to internet content creation, and was likely just going to end up spiraling again in a couple years
Spooky Phijkchu rawb
it's absurd/tragic how unlucky Rob was at times, coupled with a few key bad decisions over the years he had every opportunity to have broken out and been wildly successful, and just time and time again either picked the wrong path or had the slightly wrong timing
Spooky Phijkchu rawb
That's a big part of why he had to move on, he can still *exist* online or w/e, but the window for making career of it is over and when he accepted that, and was able to slow down, I think that helped with his mental state and drug use quite a bit

I'm never going to hold "being an asshole" against anymore, for the most part he's the same he's always been I agree with Pika he's dialed the drugs waaaayyyy back if not completely
Being an asshole vs taking advantage of people are very different worlds. Seems like most of his shit was exploiting and having money problems because of drugs

he stopped taking his meds mind you
Nothing necessarily wrong with that. It is good to move off them. Just hope he had a plan around doing so instead of just hopping off.

that's part of the reason so many people dislike Rob, because he was this hyper charismatic person that from their perspective froze them out suddenly one day, and they felt used where from Rob's perspective, that was inevitable because of the dynamic of working together (edited)
I am much the same way. Work and life are largely two different worlds. I have met about 2 people that were ever that exception to that rule.

This is what gets me the most having been around the followings for a long while. I stopped in the later years, but always hoped the best for the guy. He'd doubled down, have bad luck, ans or just make what would wind up being the wrong choices (addiction issues aside). He's a very talented and smart guy in ways. He's just sorta a grand dad almost to the evolution of internet content in those days and the opportunities he had that could have went big if he just managed himself a bit better and maybe was more socially structured could have led to big things for a time.

The "funny" part about it is that Rob tells people he's like that and nobody believes it until something happens to them (edited)
Just as true. He is at least sorta honest in that way. I think things could have gone better in some ways along the ways if the internet didn'g really lead to people blurring the lines of professionalism & friendship. People see it a lot closer than one may think due to parasocial outside of the normative work structures.
PhrogDor rawb
I think he comes off as very genuine. And to some extent he is. He is very genuine about his work. It is all work to him. A passion of work, but work. People involved in work largely are tools to work off of, but not friends.

Rob's cohort of early internet creators are mostly gone now, but up until the last couple years he had back channels with so many massive people, or was at least a known quantity to them

I mean that community is a small group of people. Especially the youtube groups that hopped off of the animation era of newgrounds & such.

and yeah, agree about the passion thing, that's well said
I mean I have told my coworkers that. I get along with most everyone I have ever worked with, but I never go to parties for the most part and don't associate with them socially period. It always evolves into a mythology around my life outside work as a joke because I have always let little on as a private person, but as I said those are two different worlds. I have had plenty of people be very shocked I have called them acquaintances and not friends
PhrogDor rawb
Rob's done a lot. The one that caught my eye the msot at the was always nuren and some of his earlier stuff where you easily forget he voiced somewhere or clearly inspired a character

Actually I'm curious what's everyone's favourite individual piece of content / series
PML, though that probably shouldn't count Some of the early GRR podcast stuff probably, idk if I have a *favorite* one though

Agreed. Hard to nail down a direct favorite set of content. Though as I said I think for pure entertainment it has to be pokemon content. And I have to also agree that pkmd were favorites. I always loved those games

That story line idea has been arounf for a hot minute. At least since OG URealms content went around. If I recall correctly. Just been well over a decade since I've really touched that content though
PhrogDor rawb
URealms live for awhile was really nice though seeing some references and ideas come together more neatly as time went on. Tpo bad the substructure behind the show fell apart pretty fast

I watched Buffalo Wizards probably... twice over. And the Pokemon streams were always fun. - Those are my two.
Wuvwand rawb
Urealms was my big draw, I also really liked the behind the scenes because it felt really chill and I like hearing GM insights. I also remember really liking buffalo wizards TTT
PhrogDor rawb
Mindcrack had it rough. At its core it was a minecraft thing and if most of the guys are doing their own thing it probably won't come back. The biggest thing is just fans moving on aside from the few hardcore ones left.
