Urealms popped into my head again and it was mostly erased from the internet, still surprised rob hasn't taken down the tabletop mod he had made
@Space kept the TTS mod up-to-date
but he's not here rn
yeah, not sure if he got Discord banned or if he just left last week
I've yet to recieve any complaints from Rob about https://rawb.art
I feel like he was close to endorsing it, before it became synonymous with Phijkchu
since he still hates Pika for some reason
I was wondering if there was like any urealms fan discords or something
@Dolfin is the only one here still in them
There are a few innactive ones, the DvZ one is sorta active
Rob's Discord is mostly dead (compared to what it used to be like)
would be cool if there were still people doing Urealms TTS pub games, but it's been so long and with Rob doing zero to keep it alive in any way
Feel like most people have given up on it
Yeah that makes sense, wild it's coming up to about a decade since it started
yep, 2014/2015 depending on when you consider it "starting"
Between Nuren, Drunks & Dragons, and his prototype streams
I sorta had ambitions on getting a mirror of the URealms wiki online, since I have it all backed up
but the formatting is hella scuffed
http://phijkchu.com:214/index.php/Main_Page
How so? I'm not really familiar with that sort of thing
that's a temp host link, the URL is non-final so that breaks some things
the actual broken part is the theme
the theme file is not hosted in a way that could be backed up
and I (just assumed) that I could revert to a default layout and it woudl look *fine*
but it doesn't
finishing fixing all the internal references would be fairly easy
So it's gotta be basically redone?
well
I need to track down the guys who made the original theme
we found who did it, after talking to some of the OG wiki guys
not likely anyone still had the theme file though
I'm also not actively working on it, or trying to fix it
I could probably make it look somewhat presentable if I played around with it for a day or two
Just a tedious thing to do?
lol
I vaguely think your username looks familiar
but that is probably just me being braindead
hello new person
I don't think it would get all that many clicks for a drama essay
drama essay, no
he is more of a long for 2 hour youtube doc kind of story
Rob's story is interesting, and I think a surprising number of people know who he is sorta
I think if you tell it right, it is a compelling narrative
Rob is/was REALLY notable over the years
Totalbiscuit hated him personally
which I think is super cool
Yeah that's true, a lot of his old circle has also kinda gone, haven't they? Or fallen off for lack of better words
Newgrounds, Drow Guild (WoW), Escapist, BlipTV, front page JustinTV/Twitch, YouTube/Mindcracker, TRPG Streamer, internet nutcase
quite the progression
one of the first letsplayers
his first Minecraft let's play came out the same time Yogscast started doing videos
Early Newgrounds animator
Tried to make a professional minecraft league on JustinTV/Twitch back in 2010
Pre-dated critical role and the big TRPG boom with Urealms Live
and all along the way, had contacts and relationships with other people doing what he did
If Urealms started just like a tiny bit later, things could be so much different probably
he's talked about it seldomly, but he resents the fact that people he knew/worked with/helped made it BIG
while he never did
Replying to Orcen Cypress #orcencypress If Urealms started just like a tiny bit later, things could be so much different probably
that's everything he did
Wait everything?
Rob genuinely lost on a "coinflip" of his internet career a dozen+ times
backing the wrong horse, being too early at something, giving up and moving on to different projects/sites
That's actually really unfortunate
he was a front page Twitch streamer in the begining, and gave that up to have his own site
