Because it's the internet in the modern day where people think their opinions mean jack shit. Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil Ok, first, it does break level curve a little, they did not rescale stuff to exp share and megas iirc, second, why do people care someone else is playing

I 100% probably should've known better to say anything about xp in any sense at that point, but at the time I guess I didn't think asking a question unrelated to Exp Share with the word "experience" would get me timed out

It was mostly him being pissed about people arguing for like half an hour as soon as he started the game, with some people wanting him to turn off Exp Share, some people saying Exp Share doesn't break the level curve, flooding the Twitch chat

I don't know if it was automatic or if it was real people that were just banning anyone saying the word "exp" or "experience"

Looking it up, I don't think Twitch chat itself will, but I think a bot mod would be able to.

I probably wasn't even aware of blacklists in chat on Twitch in 2014.

I dunno if the mods were just banning anyone that said "exp" or "experience" or if they blacklisted the word in the chat mid-stream.

I got a week timeout in the Twitch chat at that time because people were being asshats about Exp Share, Rob said anyone talking about it would be timed out, and I got timed out because I asked if catching Pokemon still gave experience like X/Y. -_-

I was disappointed when he killed that during OmegaRuby. :\

A minor inconvenience.

Not to sabotage him really, just he has to think of a new name for a URL.

At least Spooky got rupert.plus.

Damn, I can't register rawb.tv then.

I think I'm being too literal, sorry.

Then at like the 1.5 year mark(when it was supposed to release in 2 years), it's like "Oh yeah we're switching to Unity and have to re-code everything"

The problem wasn't trying to make a game, it was that he started out with a half-reasonable game idea with seemingly no roadmap, then kept making the scope of the game bigger and bigger, to the point he would have zero ability to actually make the game, even if he had more funding and hadn't lost his wife that was doin

I just don't remember if the first rawb.tv segments - the Sims 4 one with little boy Justin, the Divinity: Original Sin II videos with Salazar the art thief, etc - were before he killed URLive or if it was between seasons

Wait, did he register that pre- or post-URLive?

Oh, this wouldn't be something to change about Rob, but I'd register the rawb.tv domain.

That's what I'd change.

Okay, then when this black dude asks for a refund for the Unforgotten Quest Kickstarter, he gets his money back

So we're saying post killing URealms Live, right?

Oh, I didn't know it was Rusp XD

What'd Rusp do on Twitter?

I don't actively want Rob to die, but if he does die, I'd much rather he died from squirrel AIDS than suicide.

To be honest, sitting in the park is probably better for you than sitting indoors.

Until he gets squirrel AIDS.

That, the drugs, and anything RP related.

Killing the Discord for sure.

I'm not arguing or anything, mostly just brainstorming.

This is what I was trying to get to. Sorry for not being able to be concise. Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil The reason was most likely stress relief, as is the case of a lot of people I know who smoke weed regularly

Like, with crack, you smoke, you're high 10-20 minutes, you start coming down and go into withdrawal. You have physical symptoms that you try to remedy with more crack.

I understand, I'm saying for what reason was he using heavily for such a long time.

And it takes a long time and heavy usage to get to that point.

Most of them aren't physically addicted, they're psychologically dependent.

Okay, but why did he get addicted to it, as you say, because it's really friggin hard to get physically addicted to marijuana.

Were the drugs something random, that he just decided to try one day because it became legal? Were they part of people he surrounded himself with? Were they to deal with stress? I acknowledge they were a big part, but I can't say why he started using at all, let alone so heavily.

Had to edit that three times because I can't read what the fuck I type myself.

I'm not denying that the drugs, the people he surrounded himself with, etc, contributed heavily to him having a complete mental break, either. I'm saying the stress he put on himself can't be good for his mind.

I'm not saying you're 100% wrong, I'm saying he causes unnecessary stress on himself by putting way too much work into shit that doesn't need it and doesn't get results.

He fucked himself up with Unforgotten Realms on The Escapist, trying to make the episodes more and more grandiose, then trying to make them weekly instead of bi-weekly. He fucked himself up with Unforgotten Quest, trying to make a game on a scale he had nowhere near the skill or resources to do. URealms Live was grea

I'm legitimately not familiar with this phrase, can you elaborate? Phijkchu_Pikachu you are putting the cart before the horse I think

Regardless of what Rob puts out, we know how horribly inefficient he is, and that he put ungodly amount of hours of work into so many projects

I was thinking he'd still off himself from the stress driving him mad, just he'd be in a better situation financially

I was saying the issue related to the massive stress was related to him striking gold for half a second and then digging out an entire canyon Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil No? If he has his shit together he'd actually make some decent stuff?

Nah, that still has the Rob that puts way too much time and effort into a shit product

I guess it's a little less sad.

and he wouldn't have 15 years of stress and mental anguish building on him before he does it.

Hm. Maybe he would've just been like 19 years old and been emo and be like "I'LL ALWAYS BE NOTHING" and just ended it right there
