What

Rawb.art

Ye

Technically, I am going to be an engineer

Wat dat

Ok but I was 1 year old back then

I am too young for 2004

Apparently all the good anime is older than me too

A shame

Well

I need to get this out somewhere, and honestly I dont really know where else to do so

I've been in a weird state of confusion and somewhat sadness ever since, you know, happened. A year back, so much so that I couldn't even bear watching Rob's video. I've been around since DvZ, although I also watched some of the Blaze Black series as well, fairly young honestly. I seen... signs, I guess, with the shutdown of DvZ and the weird way LoM was abandoned, even by the other content creators... Nisovin coming to mind. Its funny that, despite not having made a single video in a long time, he won the election. Not surprising considering how Rob or whatever was a gang leader or what not. Anyways, then Urealms occured, and I liked some of it, although I got kind of dissuaded by some of the random mature things players would do... Hell, I even watched that radical heights stuff and TTT. And the Tuna bandits in Rust. Yes, I know some people were mad and sad about Rob moving onto new projects, but at the same time, I have no idea what happened. So I guess I am confused, and very lost emotionally. What in God's name happened. I guess this sort of stuff has been answered elsewhere, maybe, but my initial confusion and busy life distracted me from 1 year ago, when I first learned of the unlisting.

Oh, thanks

Chemical!

Ah yes, we shall team up to invent and mass produce the bio-nuclear-nanomachines that enhance us beyond our mere mortal status

Technically, if I remember correctly, the Petrolium engineering and stuff makes redic money

But I haven't really done much research into that anyways

yeah, average annual income of fucking 150000$

fair and balanced

if I recall correctly a bachelor's degree has a starting salary of like, 50k~

where chemistry degree is like 40k~

starting salaries, of course, but still

No its a "self defense tool"

uh, goodbye?

oh no, I guess they don't approve of spiked based self-defense tools.

Better pull out my giant metal lance instead.

Not even Rick Astley's famous song called "Never gonna give you up"

A shame

Thank you very much Reformed Catholic Priest.

Fascinating

??? indeed

depressed seals

I find it silly that Rob wants to remove numbers altogether. At the minimum, they should exist to define just how capable an ability is, or to guarantee fairness from a GM on how much each ability does to an enemy

I see Rob must have missed the fact that despite how RP heavy GTA RP is, Cars still do insane damage by ramming, guns still do consistent number based damage, etc.

I mean, you don't actually need any of that to RP, I've done gameplay-less diceless RP before, but at that point, the lack of numbers and perspective and consistency does make it very immaterial alright.

By taking away the numbers and consistency, how do you handle PVP? Outside of letting the DM decides who wins... Roleplay contests between those who roleplay their combat the best? Even a weapon advantage could be theoretically overcome, but its still down to the DM to decide who wins. Perhaps doable among a group of friends, or those who don't take it too seriously, or even among a group of very skilled roleplayers working together who are going at it with, not the intent to win, but to tell an interesting story. Maybe.

Its not like he hasn't done this before with LoM

sorta

indeed, its called powergaming.

Its better to have a framework for an RP than not. Worst case scenario, you just break out of it and ignore it for some cool stunts or some nonsense.

But once again, that's public RP, between people trying to powergame and win.

heheh
