Robloxian Hood
I'm sure we've had that point in our life where we suddenly just start weeping about the past and remembering the good old days of our childhood.
Roblox was nothing as it was back then; the creativity of the games and continuously growing userbase were a lot for a pimple-faced 13 year old like me. The platform feels more like a corporate junkyard in wake of a political crisis than a colorful place full of dumb kids just having some fun. One game I remember getting kick out of when I was an idiot teenager was "Robloxian Hood." You would sell guns to random players in a medium-sized shop and have shoot outs in random torn houses. Sure, it might not sound as fun now - but for Roblox's userbase then, it was ahead of the game.
Years have past and the game slowly started crumbling into pieces to the point of having no players ever active. Someone mentioned the game on a Reddit post in the Roblox subreddit and even posted a link to it. What was odd was that the thumbnail and title: instead of the thumbnail being a shot of the map from the sky and being named "Robloxian Hood," it was a black and white image of the gun shops and was now named "gone..."
When I entered the game, memories started filling into my brain. I walked around the streets of what used to be a game full of thriving players. I looked at the leaderboard and had noticed that someone named "0304211" had joined. I got into a car and drove around the map to find them. When I had found them, their avatar was just nothing but pure whiteness and had no face. They then told me, "What was now of a heavens of youth is now only a memory of the now grown up. You cannot regain the joy and happiness you once had."
A week has passed and I got a message from an unknown contact on my phone. The message was a view of my apartment,
Panicking, I quickly locked the doors and boarded up the windows. Sitting in my room knowing that I am not alone, I began to cry like a baby.
I then heard the door open.
