rawb

So, the place in my workflow where I catch all the videos that my scripts miss is when I organize things into playlists

which I hadn't done for the classic livestreams

then I wait for it to transcode, since the raw format is an .flv

and it needs to be in a more modern container to stream

transcode should take another 60 seconds or so

Awesome, thanks. Didn't mean to rush or anything, I just didn't know if it was in an existing stream already.

Are you(or were you, after the video earlier today) the one running the rurikar22archive Youtube page?

no that's Zyton

the sexy motherfucker

Alt also used to be involved

Ah, okay. I asked about the audio in a comment on the Youtube video early this morning, then this afternoon I saw the new video uploaded

so I was like, "Oh, I probably could've just asked here."

idk if Zyton checks YT comments that often

yeah, all of us archavists know each other

Tardo is here too

he's who I rely on to double check my lists

I didn't know if it was checked often or ever, but I gave it a shot since the Lemonpowda Aces video was uploaded just two days ago

I think we know everyone who runs one of the archive channels

a couple have been taken down of the years, mostly just automated YT flagging "copyright" music

and a LOT of vids just can't stay up on YouTube because of it

feel free to suggest features for Rawb.art too, or different layouts or whatever

My goal is to make it usable, within the limitations of what I can reasonably do

Also tell others about rawb.art if you know any, the more users the more annoyed rob is

Not really sure what I could suggest feature-wise, and I often prefer a minimalist, functional layout for things, but I'm often not concerned with aesthetics

So I can't really suggest anything there, I think.

either way, any thoughts are welcome if you think of any

oh that's neat, we're the 27th largest PeerTube instance

will probably be top 20 soon

I haven’t been on there in a while do we have a dark mode yet

he had it since the start?

It's had one for a while, but it requires you to select your own layout

I should just rename them to "light mode" and "Dark mode"

Did

Did he release puppet pals to the public

Wait, seriously?

Yes but no

the DL link in the vod description in wrong

but he may fix it

He was supposed to have but the link for the actual program is missing from links

Finally

The Lennod puppet

This is what we’ve all been waiting for

Wait hold on a second

Puppet pal NFTs

Let’s get it rolling boys

The download was supposed to have the actual program? Or just the assets for it?

if you watch the video, it's supposed to be both

But rn it only has assets

Hopping around through the video, the program looks even more basic than I was expecting, just a lot of fucking assets.

Nisovin built it for one person controling one avatar

all the switching Rob's trying to do with it now was poorly added on I feel like

When did Nisovin drop off, btw? I honestly am not sure, since he was more often than not doing stuff behind the scenes, so it wouldn't be as obvious when he stopped working with Rob as when, say, Justin stopped doing URealms Live.

Rob was paying him to help out with UQuest before he canceled that

I don't think much was changed with puppet pals after Rob and Niso made it for URL S1

a few tweaks, but clearly not a lot of dev work

Niso was still friendly with Rob at that point, but because they weren't really working together they didn't talk or hang out much at that point

and drifted apart

I see. I didn't know if it was the same type of friend as Justin, Coestar, etc, and if it was, it would've been really friggin weird to be using someone who was more of a work associate than an actual friend as a reoccurring character in your public RPG webshow.

Rob's described that he starts out as normal friends with people

and then turns them into coworkers

and that always ruins their relationships, because after they stop working together Rob tends to ice them out

even if they part on good terms

Or Rob overworks and underpays them

well that too

Robs kinda a shit friend

"kinda" lmao

he admits it now at least

but yeah, it makes a lot of his projects that relied on others make more sense

as to why they fell apart

The only times I knew about until he killed URealms Live was with Johnny at the start of Unforgotten Realms with The Escapist, and I think that blew over relatively quickly, just Johnny wasn't working on the show, and when his wife was doing a ton of work on Unforgotten Quest, divorced him, and he would've essentially had to hire several people to do the work she was doing, if memory serves me correctly.

Oh, and the Buffalo Wizards/PlayMindcrack thing, but I wasn't into that as much.

there was the original UQ animation, then the improved UQ animation, then the Escapist UQ animation

Improved UQ animation is episodes 7 & 8 on Newgrounds, right?

Johnny got the project to where it was when Rob took it over full-time
