Hi there. No, not from Ohio.

Was looking for the Harry Potter Book Club videos, since everything that was unlisted is now private, and stumbled across phijkchu.com

I'm surprised how much stuff is on there, there's a metric fuckton of stuff I thought was completely lost after blip went down and Twitch started purging everything older than 2 months

I've seen backup pages for a few things, like GRR Podcast, but I wasn't expecting to find full episodes of the Legendary Heroes podcast

Besides the Roleplay vs Paintball clip that was on Youtube for a while, I haven't seen those in over a decade

I hope it's not hard to urinate.

Speaking of piss, someone asked me earlier if you're standing in one country, right at the border, and piss into another country, are you publicly urinating in the county you're in? Or is it just indecent exposure?

Awesome. Didn't mean to rush or anything, I was just looking around and I found this site.

Wait, I just saw the picture on the home page; is that from the rawb.tv Discord, around the time Google announced unlisted stuff would be set to private unless you opted out?

Nonono, didn't mean that

I was gonna say, I think I remember that somehow I got a link to the Discord(don't remember where, not a patron on Patreon) and asked about the privating thing when Google announced it

And i thought I saw him say that that day

I don't exactly understand the "meta" stuff, but based on how people in the Discord talk, it seems like less fans and more of a parasocial relationship

I did not, what game?

I just came in the Discord to ask if the unlisted stuff was going to be privatized, and it was an almost hostile "PEOPLE OVER CONTENT" from an unexpectedly large amount of people, and "it's all part of the meta!" from anyone who wasn't hostile.

And I'm just like, "Uhh, I just wanted to know if the Urealms Live playlists and other stuff will be privatized."

I didn't think I was new - I've been following for the most part since either Splash Attack or the first Unforgotten Realms episode on Newgrounds, whichever was first of those two - but it seems everyone and everything changed between the time I stopped keeping up with everything around season 4 of URealms Live and a few months ago.

I saw the video where he essentially said "I need $12k a month or URealms Live is gone, btw give it to these random people you've never heard of may not have any interest in," then I heard he raged when people donated only $2k on the first stream he was doing the Digital Bards thing on, expecting people to toss $20k like they did with a Urealms Live show at someone they've never seen.

I didn't see the whole stream, just the end of URealms Live/beginning of Digital Bards clip from it, was only a few minutes

Oh it was 22k? I thought it was 12k.

Do you have a link?

Sorry, there are a ton of videos on here, not sure which one I'm looking for

I honestly don't remember what Phijkchu name I had, I just remember I used Dunsparce for the avatar. X(

Oh, thank you

There was already a Phijkchu Dunsparce, but there were only so many Pokemon to choose from for pictures

Ones actually in the GTI story, I mean

Yeah, after trying to find out if the unlisted stuff was going to be made private, I ended up finding a whole bunch of other stuff, and saw Sixelona put out a twitlonger I think that didn't exactly sound so great.

If I hadn't been following for 15 years now, I would think it's a massive amount of scamming and/or the most dedicated trolls ever, but I've seen too much crash and burn to not believe it's a legit mental breakdown.

Like, Unforgotten Realms getting canned after the DVDs and T-shirts that took months to produce, there probably wasn't enough people buying to continue making it, and I had (and still have) no idea how monetization on blip worked then to think it was a scam. Unforgotten Quest felt like a scam after several years, but then I remembered that he was keeping a blog about it(though not often updated), and you could see a downward spiral from trying to make a game he had absolutely no idea how to actually make

And he seemed to have just worked himself so hard that he started to completely lose it.

Yeah, I'm saying if I had just seen the stuff today, it may have looked like a scam, but when having been watching for 15 years, there's been a long, long downward spiral.

It was so disheartening to see the Forgotten Christmas video Johnny Voruz made, with Rob saying he gave the IP to Johnny, asking if there was a potential return for Unforgotten Realms, then the video is removed from Youtube or made private.

When I went looking for the Harry Potter Book Club stuff tonight, I saw a video on his Youtube channel called "Chest Hunters" for Genshin Impact. I was thinking it was going to be something like Played It For The Plot, and, uh...

I'm not sure who exactly would find the video entertaining.

I was just about to ask about that

That has a massive amount of videos for how long it has existed, and fuck all for views; does he have a job outside of internet videos/streaming? Because there's no way he's making any money off that and the brucewillakers channel.

And at 314 patrons on Patreon, even if they're all giving $10 each, that's still not a lot for a two person household

Yeah, I was about to say if he's still in Toronto

...From 314 people? What the absolute fuck.

Honestly, after hearing about people who spend thousands of dollars a week in mobile games because it's less expensive than going out on the weekends for them, six people giving $100 a month to one person doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, it's legitimately cult-like, with seemingly a fuckton of mentally unsound people

It's crazy how much similarity there is between Rob and his stuff and Fraser from Awesome Video Games/Video Games Awesome, but Fraser just seems to have gotten super bitter, not gone completely insane.

Used to just be a fun stream for any new game, any game they may be hyped about, any games they like, party games for couch co-op, then you have 180+ Overwatch streams with almost everything that's put out now is "sponsored" by a viewer.

He'd probably have just stuck with Unforogotten Realms, finished it, and then got a job with security.

Or that.

Got it.

Speaking of his server, isn't it supposed to be linked to his Patreon? I have absolutely no idea where I found the link to get access to it, but I didn't get it from Patreon, and I'm allowed to talk in there and everything.

I was trying to find the link to it because I wanted to show my friend just how batshit it is, but I can't find a link besides from Patreon.

And it won't let me invite directly to the server.
