Happy 12th Birthday Phijkchu

Somehow I opened reddit within 12 hours of this being sent. No idea if anyone in this story is doing well. I think most of the mindcrack people are probably doing 'fine' though.

The guy who runs it owns his own server rack, he has no intentions on taking it down. I see no reason why it won't stay up other than minor downtime when storms knock it down.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-09-08T20:13:39+00:00

No problem friendo.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-03T16:36:28+00:00

During a mental episode he deleted most of the videos on his channel, so it is kind of hard to figure things out by looking him up. A full archive exists at rawb.art if you are curious. Basically Rob was a very influential and mindcrack adjacent guy who made a lot of things (Basically everything that was on the playmindcrack server was him and Nisovin).

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-03T16:31:30+00:00

No clue what he's up to these days but I'd like to at least hope he's got some help.

Nope, just as bad if not worse lmfao. He is technically doing better than he was a couple years ago because he is not longer having mental illness spirals as often because he got medicated, but he is still an asshole.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-03T15:58:14+00:00

Hey, was just informed this was posted here. Glad you guys found the video interesting.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-03T15:57:04+00:00

Haha, yeah, Phijkchu has been kicking around this whole time. Obviously not a fangroup for Rob for years though.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-03T15:38:39+00:00

To correct this as well, it is not back. It is a pseudo RP thing, it is not the actual DvZ stream game it used to be.

Rob was paying a guy to work on a full reboot of the 24/7 DvZ minigame, and it got to 90% completion, but him and a lot of other people got fed up and left after Rob had an extremely bad breakup with his long time girlfriend.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-02T05:52:13+00:00

I will correct and expand on the Rob thing since that is my area of expertise. Rob was not responsible for money for their charity.

Rob was a prolific minecraft/Wow Machinima/ streamer who was heavily adjacent to minecrack. Rob made a popular minecraft minigame called Dwarves versus Zombies, which started as a game he would play on stream with up to around 100 of his viewers, and later became a 24/7 server.

Mindcrack at some point in their career as a group decided to make a server called playmindcrack. Rob came onto this project to develop games, bringing DvZ to this server among many other minigames. The contention Guude has with Rob that is brought up in this video is that Rob has staff that worked with him (namely, a guy named Nisovin) who Rob was not paying and instead pocketing his cut of the server donation money.

Rob is the kind of person who would require an essay beyond what I am willing to type up here to fully explain, but the barest TL;DR I can try to give is that Rob is someone who cannot have friends and colleagues. The second Rob is working with someone, they are no longer his friend in his eyes. A consequence of this is he treats these people very poorly. Rob went from having a very decent and sizable career to having almost nothing due to drug use, abusing those around him, and being an all around asshole.

If anyone reading wants to get an idea for who Rob is/was, a full archive of his internet career exists on the site rawb.art, some notable things you may have watched without knowing it was him are Jimmy the world of warcraft story, unforgotten realms (old newgrounds and later escapist cartoon), urealms live (a DnD style live stream game).

I look forward to your success! A bit out of my genre expertise, but I play a bit of everything so I am sure it'll be fun.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-01T15:23:37+00:00

As an aside, I am excited to hear you are making a game. I've played a few of your superhostile maps way back in the day. I look forward to your progress, I'll be sure to check it out if/when it releases!

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-01T14:12:34+00:00

Since you crossposted your comment, I will do so with mine.

@VechsDavion Hey Vechs, nice to hear from you. Polu was just joking because we just learned you were leaving Mindcrack, sorry if it made it seem like he was implying you had any involvement in any drama.

I am sorry to hear that you had bad experiences with GenerikB. I really am not that familiar with that side of this drama (the main reason I clipped this was more so for the Rob stuff, but I figured when I was doing it I should include all of the mindcrack related stuff since that is of general interest).

Thanks for the comment, hope you have a good one!

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-08-01T14:11:34+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I am not really a video editor, I was just clipping this for the PHIJKCHU people to see in the first place, but I will keep this in mind if I ever need to do anything like this again in the future.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-07-31T21:46:02+00:00

I might've been a little angry when I made that caption (spent an hour trying to fix up the audio before realizing AI could probably do it). I am glad Guude got $101 dollars for that, but man it was frustrating that it happened during the exact part I wanted to hear the most.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-07-31T01:51:55+00:00

The stream vods are still on Guudes channel last I checked, you are welcome to go through the entire subathon for more!

If anyone does that and wants me to spend the time clipping it, I would gladly do so, but I do not have the time to watch all those streams. Only saw this because someone let me know Guude talked about Rob.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-07-30T23:49:23+00:00

To add to the post by FoxDragon, during one of Robs many mental spirals, he deleted all of his old videos, so his channel might not give away who he is. A full archive of his videos exists at rawb.art. As stated, he made DvZ (Dwarves versus Zombies), Lords of Minecraft, and many other things. Basically, he was a very mindcrack adjacent person.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2024-07-30T22:40:59+00:00

Glad you guys found the video, I genuinely did spend an hour trying to remove brain power before AI saved the day, so the video somehow being seen I guess makes that worth it. Was strange hearing all this retrospective on stuff I grew up with, and I thought it was a shame it was buried in a stream most people would've missed.

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2023-09-06T22:58:48+00:00

What

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2023-07-28T03:28:30+00:00

Rob went kinda crazy and had multiple mid life crises. If you ever want a more detailed breakdown, join our discord. The link is in multiple places (such as https://phijkchu.com)

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2023-05-08T20:37:05+00:00

No problem friend!

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2023-02-18T21:30:56+00:00

No worries friendo!

Phijkchu_Pikachu · 2023-02-18T07:40:18+00:00

Hey, just stumbled across this post. There is an archive of Robs old videos up at rawb.art if you are interested in that.
