The GRR stuff was also great! Loved the superpowers one.

All of Rob's 2nd hand men were so interesting
Jonny, Tom, Deadbones, Nisovin
I know Jonny and Rob sort of made up for a while recently
But I think he went his own way again
Yeah I was confused about that actually. I thought Rob gave Johnny the rights to the unforgotten realms IP or something but now is making his own videos.
Big disclaimer: I’m not following most of this stuff super closely so I may be way off.
I get the feeling Jonny was taking an extended break from his career, and wanted to reconnect with some of the people from his past
esp since Rob and him fought and broke up on bad terms
they reconciled, and Rob pitched an idea to Jonny, make some Urealms specials, he keeps the profit, Rob helped a little
so they did that one episode, maybe started work on another, and then drifted apart again
Rob has said himself, he really struggles at mantaining non-work relationships
and he has always been one to have one-sided partnerships/friendships
Tom, Niso, and Deadbones are all still sorta around on the internet, and they've all made it clear they want nothing to do with Rob anymore
In general though, most of us don't follow Rob too closely now, he streams to 30-50 people on Twitch once or twice a week, makes enough money to keep going at least for now
but we all get the sense the end is near, he's burned so many bridges I think it would be hard to recover an internet career
Him becoming a producer for another streamer (which he seems to be leaning towards) might be interesting
or else he's going to be out trying to find a real job pretty soon
Replying to Mad Mew Mew #fenriswulf Hey! Just here on a rabbit hole. Was a fan of earlier rob stuff (Newgrounds urealms to Pokémon). Reading up on what’s happened since then. Seems like a bit.

Hey, glad you like the site, I've really enjoyed just how many people still watch Rob's old series

We're still in the ballpark of 50-100 uniques a day, which is simply amazing

Howdy
Welcome to the server Talking Cow
thanks for continuing the tradition of new people joining in the middle of the night
Truly it is the only way
So how'd you stumble in here?
Tried finding rawb’s old stuff, found the site, wanted to see the discord
ah, great to hear
I run the site, please yell at me if there are any old vids you remember but can't find
I'm perpetually 90% done getting everything uploaded and organized
I'm more than a little sad that Rob's been purging all his old stuff, it's been going on for a while but the recent ones felt extra unwarented
anyway, one of the mods will vet you to the rest of the Discord server
I think I checked his youtube like, a month after he initially purged everything, honestly a shame
Sporadically checking since to see if it had come back yet
For added context, Rob's had multiple complete mental breakdowns in the last couple years
I'm not personally expecting him to unprivate any of his old videos before 2024 (if he's still comitted to some old promises he made)
he tried paywalling them on his main channel behind a YouTube membership, but didn't get many subs, and it was too much work to re-upload and organize 1000's of videos
so there are 20-30 videos available there, and ~10 active subscribers
And now he doesn’t even offer memberships for the stuff that is there locked behind the paywall still
oh, he canceld that altogether already?
There’s no join button on the channel anymore
honestly, that's probably a good move
I've seen more than a couple people frustrated how little there was there
I get Rob's in a bad place rn, and has been more than a little self-destructive
but it's still disapointing how everything's gone down
All the dvz videos are uploaded, tuna bandits, played it for the plot, skylanders, lom, prolly some others I forget rn, but just not accessible
Yeahno above all else tbh I hope he can get in a better headspace
He was such a big part of my early and mid teens, I hope he can feel good about the stuff he makes and ideally have it be successful
I'm of the opinion he needs to step away from the internet for a while, I don't think he can be successful the way he's currently acting
