vetting

can people stop joining at 3AM

no I have finals tomorrow so this is the best time

3am is the best time to go on nostalgia trips though

exactly

alright thanks, I'll prolly go through it tomorrow I should sleep

Gnight

lmao hello new person

yo

and yea wow rob's a nuts

Yep. He is currently on meds but not taking them, so insane Rob might return

how long do you give this new DvZ before he drops it lmao

He stopped clipping the streams for YouTube/TikTok and his off-day streams are 50-50 on whether they even donate enough to trigger DvZ

oh they have to pay for it?

sort of, he does 5 games a week max (weeks he streams)

3 guaranteed, +2 if he hits dono goals

and the idea was you'd have to donate to get into games, but with how small the audience is, you can pretty reliably get in anyway

imo, the initial highs from week 1-2 fell off faster than Rob thought

yeah I was there for the first one filled up pretty quick

it was the new dvz that got me remembering he exists

yeah, and his DvZ numbers were really strong at first

nostalgia bait only gets you so far

especially since all the sensible people know rob will drop this out of the blue at some point

Rob has been very transparent on this his current plan is to work back through all of his old projects, and extract the maximum amount of money out of his community he can in that time period

oh lmao

and on the side, he's trying to come up with a non-content job he can do once the money really dries up

I don't mean that cynically either, if it comes across that way

nah

anyway, I suspect the plan was for DvZ to carry through the Summer, and he'd launch Lom2 holiday

now, lom2 has been moved up, and DvZ will probably be 2 times/month on average

none of this stuff works as well without the full cast

the crazy part

like who the hell will the Lords be

is Rob has a 100% working modern DvZ

with the actual game features working from before

loadouts/ shrines / etc.

damn, okay I'm impressed

but he didn't want to use it.

wait wtf

so he has been cobbling together this rp DvZ thing

His whole premise, is he'd rather sell people a 1-2 hour session of "hanging out with OldManWillakers" on stream

they are a lot like the og chill minecraft streams he'd do

I do think those were my favorites. I never cared so much for the super structured dvz

but it's not really a game, and idk if you've watched most of the weeks, but it's a lot of just pure nostalgia that he unearthed from his old mod folders and ported foward

I've watched none

FFS, he spawned in the same strip club from 10 years ago with DB and Roaman

damn he still had it?

he did a week where he sort of brought back crafting clocks

so it quite literally is just a nostalgia walkthrough

yes

it's also more scripted/planned

he has 5-10 of his most dedicated fans helping in-game

who have mod, and Rob's given them a script to follow

and again, it's not terrible to watch, I get why some people might like it

I mean rob is genuinely good at like building shit like that.

He just also is his own worst enemy

because it is just Rob trying to forcibly recreate the great moments from 6+ years ago

midlife crisis dvz

without all the friends you alienated

whereas back then, it was organic because it was Rob+team trying to create something funny and entertaining

yeah

he kind of did midlife crisis DvZ already in 2021 as well which is funny

he got Pause to come out of retirement to record some DvZ with him

which lasted 5 weeks

lmao

this was him during his FULL mental breakdown arc

oh wow he did urealms again

also can I just say, Rob recording in 19FPS

still pisses me off

so much

that's the one thing I'll never forgive

not like he's a professional content creator or anything

so, I'm not kidding with this explanation

the reason he did it, was because Disney Channel

used to do these short ad breaks

where an actor from the show you were watching would say "This is __ and you're watching Disney channel"

oh yeah

and he was so enamored with that

that he put them at the start of all his radical wave videos

and those were taken from a single uninterupted 2 hour recording he did
