I'm sad to hear Rik is leaving but he will always be a member in my eyes. Some of my favourite moments (many of them) come from the multiple 7 Days to Die series. I can't remember if it was him or Jazzy (will have to look again) who undermined the base and got crushed when it collapsed. He will be missed but I wish him, Mel, and the girls the best in his future.
I remember first seeing that and laughing my butt off i rewatched it like 10 times when i first saw it and it still makes me laugh like crazy when i see it now
Rik's chemistry with the group is unmatched. He brings the joy out of Jazzy, brings the adventure out of Ash, and brings the humour out of Price. The vibes of Stumpt felt so balanced and effortless when Rik is around. It was sad that his departure after 8 years had to be abrupt and without a proper goodbye. In a perfect world we would have a last group game session where the group gets to play Rik's favourite games one last time and share some stories. Alas, the world doesn't always grant closures. Even though I've never met him, it feels like I lost a friend and never got to say goodbye. Best of luck Rik, you will sorely be missed!
Wow, I can’t believe that Rik’s leaving. I still remember when I was 7 watching your guys’ videos. Time flies by, at least Rik is happy and pursuing what makes him happy! I love Stumpt, and I will always stand by your guys’ sides and your decisions. Stay positive and keep making the content you love!
Usually, people leaving their channel is sad. Rik's leave is super understandable and the least depressing youtube leave I've witnessed. Knowing that Rik's daughters have a father who is so present, involved, and committed to raising them and watching them grow ... it warms my heart as a young woman, and it's better and more meaningful than any youtube video I could request. Wishing Stumpt, Rik, and his family all the best.
Rik was the reason I got interested in Stumpt in the first place, and with time it's now my comfort channel. I went through high school, through years of university, through accepting a disability. This channel was the only constant there, the only that I'm watching for so many years. I love Rik's humor, and his editing made The Grounded series so enjoyable to watch. I wish him the best!
Woh Rik leaving! When I saw the word ''leaving'', I was afraid another cast member was stopping their appearance or something bad happened inside your group. I'm glad Rik is on the pursuit of happiness just like how Ash is on the pursuit of a Chez Dodo foodcart.
I'm going to miss Rik, even as an video editor, but being a stay-at-home parent is a full-time job! Best wishes to him and his family (and his new channel!) 💜
Rik was such an awesome part of Stumpt and I've nearly cried hearing the news of how he's been slowly leaving. Best of luck to Rik and his family, he's a beloved part of Stumpt. (And yes I know I am three weeks late.) I've seen RUclipsrs leave RUclips before but this one truly makes me the saddest.
I already made a comment on Rik's video related to this topic, but let me say it again. Thank you Rik for all you've brought to Stumpt over the years! Some of my favorite Stumpt moments involving Rik were just all of the silly moments during games like, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Overcooked, Gang Beasts, Diner Bros, Don't Starve and Boomerang Fu. Granted, some of the challenges (like the Bean Boozled one lol) lead to some memorable moments as well. Finally, as I said on Rik's video, hopefully there can be times when you all play together again some time (ex. like when you all played Don't Starve during Stumpmas, or like how Stumpt has played coop games with larger groups of close friends). Good luck to Rik on his new path!
My favorite memory is Rik trolling Price on Mario Party, his blowing things up in Stardew, his hilarious editing for Stardew Valley Expanded, and all the Overcook series, when he tried to achieve all 4 stars with Price... so many good memories! Rik is the best, I hope he is happy and well and that good things come to his way ♥️
The video of Rick’s little Red Bicycle Shorts in gta is something I will never forget. I wish you the best in life Rick, thanks for all the laughs over the years❤
You guys should make more of the compilations. There are so many great moments in Stumpt history that I've forgotten and need to remember. I was laughing/crying so much during this compilation.
the family feud video where the question was “what does shaquille o neal have a hard time fitting into” and rik blurred out “vaginas” is probably the best memory i have from my early watching days
Take care Rik, you have my support on your future endeavors since I first found this channel back in the old Minecraft LPs in mid 2010’s! Wishing for great things for you and your family!
I hope Rik can find what is best for him, as a fairly new (1year) subscriber on RUclips, I mostly remember his editor period, but all of his text inputs were hilarious, especially during the grounded vids.
HE'S MARRIED TO THE SEA - got me so good, one of my favorite all time moments from Stumpt. It's so sad to see Rik go. There are far too many amazing clips out there to do his time at Stumpt justice. From Gang Beasts to Tricky Towers, and of course Fake Rik in Minecraft, and everything in between... Just so many wonderful moments and videos from a very wholesome, great guy. He was a major part of why I started following Stumpt, and I'm super grateful for that, because you're an amazing group all around. Absolutely wish him all the best.
I've joined few months before Rik's first daughter was born and enjoyed this so much. Sad to see him leaving, Happy he is making that concious decision for his family
LOVE the clips so so freaking much!!!! It's always so apparent how good of friends you all are and while he will be missed so so much in glad things are going well in his life and that he's able to take this time for family. I love you all and I'm so glad that you all are being so supportive to your friend :)
I'm definitely gonna miss Rik but life always goes on and we knew this gonna happen so i would like to thankyou so very much Rik for been there with stumpt crew and us by creating great memories for us. Thera are so many moments that i could say but some of those are when Rik keep pranking price by shooting arrows in minecraft series, Jasmine momentt that makes Rik jaw dropped when playing drink glurp, and all of your reaction when the candy squished by drill on the first time playing gummies life.
My favourite moments has allways been Rik burning down stuff in Don’t Starve Together so it’s super awesome to see you play more. I also didn’t expect to get rickrolled. Edit: or rather rikrolled
Rik you'll be dearly missed! I just loved hearing you bring up any and every topic of conversation during all the unrailed episodes! Watching and listening was always comforting and like sitting and listening to your group of friends talk, I love it. And reading every comment on this video shows how much the community loves and appreciates you and your humor. I've been subscribed for a few years now and it's so sad to see one of you leave, this channel has been my safe place and many times a solace for my loneliness. Thank you to everyone on the channel and especially Rik, for giving us all the laughs, happy times, editing and sharing a little of your time with us nerds. Wish you all the best Rik, pls don't be a stranger and come back from time to time ♡
That was my favorite thing about Rik, all of his stories about things he found out recently. One of my most favorite memories of Rik was him hanging out with twitch chat during the 2020 election when I was feeling my worst and he helped me calm down over the whole thing and watch the news count the votes and distract me with just him hanging out with chat. Rik is like an old friend that I've never met. I'll miss him a lot but I'll definitely be watching and subbing to his new youtube channel
Happy Anniversary Stumpt! I’ve been following you for a few years. I found y’all when things were a bit tough for me and you’ll always be a source of joy and positivity to me. I remember those shorts, especially when they were an emote! Looking forward to those charity streams! I wish Rik much happiness in his future!
Wow, how time flies by. I wish Rik all the best in his bright future. I'm glad I discovered this channel about 3 years ago, looking forward to what's to come.
Such an amazing guy. Some of my fave moments were always the last episodes of your Don't Starve series. Setting the base on fire, the ghost band R2zee-vo, but especially when Rik was frantically shouting as the Bearger is demolishing the base. Gonna miss his sweet, chaotic energy in your games. Best of luck to him and his lovely family.
Sad to see Rik leaving but I’m very happy that it’s for a sweet and wholesome reason. He’s a great dad and husband and I’ll defiantly miss him over here
I hope you guys still stay in contact and remain friends, and I wish Rick and his family all the best, it's been a great ride and we will miss you rick
Rik is a verb. My husband and I just started playing Don't Starve Together, and I like to play as Willow. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I've Rik'd our camp twice, and purposely Rik'd a few forests. We're gonna miss editor Rik, but I know I speak for a lot of folks when I say- Rik, we're really grateful for everything you've done, all the good times and laughs, and we wish you & your family ALL the good things!!!!
Man, I found your guys' channel recently, as of like, 2-3 years ago, when COVID happened. The first playlist I binged was your Ultimate Chicken Horse playthrough (currently binging the PlateUp! playthrough rn) and then I saw you guys had a channel for D&D, and hell, if I didn't find the first episode of Hero Squad by chance, I wouldn't have gotten into D&D entirely. I'm excited for where this channel is going to go, and I wish Rik well in life ^^
Also, hey. I don't know if Stumpt has something in mind, but let's petition to have Rik commemorated in the Stumpt recording studio and the banner. So even when he's gone, he's still here a part of the team. (Maybe a plush red fox, or something equally representative of Rik? Hell, maybe a drawing hung on the wall of the most Rik thing to ever Rik.) It'd be nice to see on the channel and on the streams just in the background.
When I first found your channel it was Covid. And the first video I came across was Gang Beasts. I loved the newer and old videos of Gang Beasts, I went back to the very first video and watched on, all the way to #300! I’m going to miss Rik. I hope that some day he will return and reunite with the Stumpt Gang. Sending ❤s to Rik and all of Stump. Hope you guys are all doing well ❤.
Fond farewell to Rik. I will miss you but am so happy you are making such a great choice for you and your family. I cannot choose a favourite Rik moment as there are too many. But I am currently rewatching Jaz and Rik play Death Squared. Rik just said "Stop Tokyo Drifting! It's only cool when cars do it!" Amazing.
I fell into a deep rabbit hole with this channel when I came across the first Don't Starve Together series. It wasn't just watching you guys play but also listening to the conversations yall would have. So much fun and I just felt like I was part of it. Thank you Rik for being part of that experience that got me to join the Stumpt family.
When I saw this video notification, I didn't want to click on it, because I didn't want this news to be real. I'm really sad to see you leave Rik, and I will always consider you as part of Stumpt. I discovered you guys 7 years ago, during a very rough time of my life, and you really made a positive impact on it. Your family is lucky to have you to take care of them. I will miss you
I'm newish to the channel. I stumbled across when I started playing overcooked so I was looking for people who played it and bam found you guys! So I only started watching in about January 2022 so I was very late and only caught Rik in his last months as a main member..but in that time, it was great to watch the dynamics and I've been a regular viewer of his Monday night streams. So I'll be sad to see him go but I'm glad he'll still be doing some things and I'll keep on coming back here too. Will miss you on this channel and your edits Rik! All the best
🩳❤🩳❤🩳 Gonna miss seeing Rik together with the rest of the group. I'm going to go back and search for some of my fave Rik moments. Looking forward to seeing what kind of neat ideas he comes up with for his own channel!
Best of luck Rik! Sad to see him leave but super excited to see him make content again on his new channel. A small moment that I found super hilarious was Rik burning a forest for some ash in Don't Starve Together at the end of s4e6. His delayed response to Price is hilarious. Natural comedic timing. Been following Stumpt for 5 years now ever since I discovered your playthrough of Overcooked. This channel and community is the best gaming content I've ever seen. Can't wait to see what else y'all have in store.
I remember the fudgey the whale Game of Life episode- it was one of the first nights after my fiance and I got our house and I was cleaning the kitchen to get it ready to move in. Thank you Stumpt for the years of memories, and the times you made awful times more bearable.
I have been watching this channel for at least 8 years of existence, the comstent talk between the group was the bit of excitement I got when coming home from school, and seeing Rik, the one who usually said the weirdest and most controversial things, leave brings tears to my eyes, literally. I hope him and all the stumpt crew find a good equilibrium despite this and cab continue their lives Happily.
As someone who found yall when you had less an 1000 subs to today I can't watch the montage without so many tears. Thank you Rik, for all the laughs & inspiration. You along with the rest of the stumpt crew has inspired me to always be myself, never fear judgement and that friendship is more important than all. We started Maple Tree Gamers last year hugely thanks to the stumpt crew's inspiration and I will never be able to thank yall enough.
I love those funny moments vids, I find myself laughing so hard every time, and I'll even go back and rewatch them if i need a laugh. Gonna miss you Rik!
Sad to hear he's leaving but good to know it's not on bad terms. Good luck to him and his family and hopefully we at least get to hear from him once in a while as a surprise guest
Best wishes to both Rik and the remaining Stumpts. The little red biking shorts is a real gem. You can't unwatch it. There are a lot of great moments where his chaotic energy made great situations. Was it Rik that managed to drop a bomb in the exact middle of the groups greenhouse in Stardew valley and with a "Oh, God nooo!" managed to wipe out ALL the harvest in one swift stroke? Not to mention his fantastic edits the last year. It was a treat to still have him present with comments on your gameplay and fun little inserts. It elevated the videos from great to fantastic. I hope you will have him as a cameo guest once in a while if possible. Love from Sweden.
My favorite moment of Rik was the little Red bike shorts dance he did for us in GTA 5. I love that moment and I am sad to see Rik leave. But I am so happy for him to get on with his next chapter and we will always love and appreciate him. I grew up watching Stumpt and will always consider him one.
I grew up watching you guys, and while it is sad Rik is leaving, I'm very happy for him to be able to do what he wants and take care of his family. I know how happy he was when he became a father, so I'm glad he's gonna be able to focus more on that. As for my favorite Rik moment... I honestly have a few! Space engineers 'Space Madness', Crawl and 'LET ME SPEND MY MONEY!', Gang Beasts when he landed on the truck again from being launched, and I believe there was a moment in the original Grounded series where he got fully jumpscared by one of the marshmallow Spiders. I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them right now, BUT I'm really happy for Rik. You've got this man, remember to take breaks for yourself and to do what you need to! Happy 9 year anniversary y'all! ❤️
I only first learned of Stumpt in 2020, but I watched the heck out of your videos while working remotely and they were one of the only sources of joy I had during such a dark time for me. I'm going to miss Rik. Probably the greatest Stumpt moment of all time was the finale of the first DST playthrough (which was how I learned of Stumpt) with the fire that destroyed like 20 episodes worth of progress that coincided with the random boss fight, all because Rik had tried to burn a twig. It was the funniest let's play episode I had ever watched. I'm going to miss him. I hope he'll be occasionally featured on the channel
All the best to Rik and his family! I enjoyed all you guys playing together and I also enjoyed Rik’s editing over the last year. As for the current Stumpt crew: I hope to see many more videos of you guys in the future! You make my day (and on a side note….you also helped immensely with my English :P Thanks for that as well!
Thank you so much Rik for so many amazing memories and hilarious moments throughout the years. It's sad to see you fully leaving the channel, but I wish you so much happiness in the future and I'm so glad that you're pursuing what's best for you! You'll be dearly missed but never forgotten you and your little red bike shorts will love on in our hearts ❤❤
There's a lot of good Rik bits throughout the channel, but my all-time favorite is Rik's Minecraft bits. From digging holes to sudden Rik misadventures! And seconded by his silly line "Don't worry! I'm fine! I'm fine!" Good luck Rik! Thank for the excellent entertainment for the whole 9 years! And for Stumpt, I'm probably here for only half of the 9 years, but it's been a good ride and I'll be here till the end. Happy Anniversary!
Absolutely gutted to hear Rik is leaving, but wish him all the best for the future. My fave Rik moment was when he made the Light-fingered joke that had Jazzy crying. I swear I've never laughed so hard in my life 😂😂😂
Rik always had such fun energy in any video he was apart of. It was different from the rest of the crew, but complemented them perfectly. From another girl dad, I wish him all the best.
Currently watching all of the don’t starve together series and Rik makes so many amazing jokes. I love when Ash, Price, and Rik “get the band together!!”
I remember loving the Fran Bow series. It was the one thing that introduced Stumpt to me, and I do visit it every now and again. A favorite Stumpt moment of mine is when you guys were playing Broforce and Ash yelled at someone to move during a stage in Hell, but he was the one who was standing still. The second he realized that, I just lost it. About Rik, I'm kinda bummed that he left, but I know how hectic life can be. You gotta prioritize things and people that matter to you the most. At one point you just don't have time for games any more. I'm just glad there is no animosity between you guys. Hopefully he can drop by sometimes as guest. I wish him and everyone at Stumpt the best. Gonna miss the shenanigans between Rik and Price.
Wishing the best for Rik and his family. I will always cherish the time Rik set the whole base on fire S1 of Don’t Starve haha so happy y’all are starting a new Don’t Starve series!
My favorite moments from Captain Rik: in Overcooked when y’all were doing the ice island fish and chips level, Rik sounded like a crazy person and Ash pointed it out and everyone had a huge laugh. In Stardew Valley when Rik was running around town yelling for Penny or someone else he was trying to romance. Also I love the Deathroad To Canada play-throughs, both the 4 player when I think Rik blew everyone up with the Doom guy’s rocket launcher, and also the Coop play-through with Jazzy-poo. Much appreciate your contributions to Stumpt! You will be missed!
Will miss Rik in Stumpt so much but so happy it’s because he’s doing what makes him happy and it’s to be a wonderful dad. He had so many absolutely hilarious moments that brought me joy though some of my favorite rewatches were his surprise win as the alien in Stumptmas Push the Button and/or really any other time he’d win in Dead by Daylight/PropNight/any game lol. What can I say, it was always a lot of fun to root for him win or lose and hear his banter with the rest of you, thanks for the memories!
Best of luck Rik. Have always enjoyed you in the videos and live streams, even just your funny edits. Sad to see you go, happy you are able to be there for your family. Lots of love being sent your way!
Best of luck Rik! It was included, but the Rik and Price I’m Just a Bear duet from GTA is one of my favorites! Thanks to all of you for being my favorite RUclipsrs!
I started watching you guys when you played gang beast. Ever since then I watched your channel evolve and grow. Popping back in from time to time as my attention was focused elsewhere. You guys gave me great enjoyment when I was in school. But it’s nice to know that rick is doing well and he will be missed dearly. I will never forget the first fan art I drew with everyone in their gang beast a-tire 😢 Best of luck Rick you have earned an Australians respect .
Happy anniversary! I'll miss Rik, best of luck to his family and new endeavors! (PS not sure if Rik reuploaded or something, but clicking on the link in the description leads to a 'This video is private' page)
Was doing ok until Little Red Bike Shorts came on 😭 tell me why I started CRYING over BIKE SHORTS!! lol I'm so excited for another DST series, one of my all time favorite Rik moments was from DST when he accidentally decimated the base right before the Deerclops came 🤣 I'm so happy that Rik gets to spend more time with his wonderful family going forward, and I can't wait to see what he does on his own in the future! 💜

Rik is such a great guy, glad to hear he's doing well with the fam life.
Nicely said Drae, nicely said.
Hi, Drae. I'm also your subscriber. This guy is so funny in power washer video series 🤣🤣🤣
100% agreed
Wait, he moved to Stardew Valley?
I'm sad to hear Rik is leaving but he will always be a member in my eyes. Some of my favourite moments (many of them) come from the multiple 7 Days to Die series. I can't remember if it was him or Jazzy (will have to look again) who undermined the base and got crushed when it collapsed. He will be missed but I wish him, Mel, and the girls the best in his future.
Does anyone know which episode is this??
Rik definitely added a unique flavour of charisma and quip to the group and he’ll be missed. What a king!
Rik's pit maneuver in GTA will always be the funniest moment to me.
I remember first seeing that and laughing my butt off i rewatched it like 10 times when i first saw it and it still makes me laugh like crazy when i see it now
Can anyone link that video? I'd love to see it!
Rik's chemistry with the group is unmatched. He brings the joy out of Jazzy, brings the adventure out of Ash, and brings the humour out of Price. The vibes of Stumpt felt so balanced and effortless when Rik is around. It was sad that his departure after 8 years had to be abrupt and without a proper goodbye.

Wishing Stumpt, Rik, and his family all the best.
Ngl rik was my favorite, he was like a father to stumpt in one way and a menace in another
I always love how Rik talks y'know. He's just such a cool guy and he was so entertaining.
I wish the best for Rik and his family. One of the best moments has to be red bike shorts.
Rik was the reason I got interested in Stumpt in the first place, and with time it's now my comfort channel. I went through high school, through years of university, through accepting a disability.

I'm going to miss Rik, even as an video editor, but being a stay-at-home parent is a full-time job! Best wishes to him and his family (and his new channel!) 💜
Y'all better still invite rik back for stumptmas at least! Wishing him the best in all his ventures!
Rik was such an awesome part of Stumpt and I've nearly cried hearing the news of how he's been slowly leaving. Best of luck to Rik and his family, he's a beloved part of Stumpt. (And yes I know I am three weeks late.) I've seen RUclipsrs leave RUclips before but this one truly makes me the saddest.

"He's the only toilet I use." - Rik August 19, 2017 from the Escapists 2 episode: Herschel's Toilet
the family feud video where the question was “what does shaquille o neal have a hard time fitting into” and rik blurred out “vaginas” is probably the best memory i have from my early watching days
Take care Rik, you have my support on your future endeavors since I first found this channel back in the old Minecraft LPs in mid 2010’s! Wishing for great things for you and your family!
Appreciate you Rik! Good luck with your future adventures!
I hope Rik can find what is best for him, as a fairly new (1year) subscriber on RUclips, I mostly remember his editor period, but all of his text inputs were hilarious, especially during the grounded vids.
Thanks Rik, for the last nine years, you've been awesome. Best wishes for what's next, and a tearful farewell to team rash!
HE'S MARRIED TO THE SEA - got me so good, one of my favorite all time moments from Stumpt.
It's so sad to see Rik go. There are far too many amazing clips out there to do his time at Stumpt justice.

Going to miss Rik, but I wish him the best!
Rik Is my personal favorite. Thanks for everything all these years. It’s been a blessing. So many laughs. Much love! 💛
Ive been watching you guys for many years now, its gonna be hard to let one of you go
One of my favorite episodes is when they were playing gang beasts for the first time
I've joined few months before Rik's first daughter was born and enjoyed this so much. Sad to see him leaving, Happy he is making that concious decision for his family
LOVE the clips so so freaking much!!!! It's always so apparent how good of friends you all are and while he will be missed so so much in glad things are going well in his life and that he's able to take this time for family.

And I hope Rik has a good life with his family.

Goodbye Rik your bike shorts and evil laugh will live in our hearts forever
Gonna miss Rick, but honestly when he stepped back a year ago, I saw this as inevitable. I wish him the best.
Every time i watch an older stump video with rik in it, i say a silent prayer that he may come back for a stumptmas event!!
Happy Anniversary Stumpt! I’ve been following you for a few years. I found y’all when things were a bit tough for me and you’ll always be a source of joy and positivity to me. I remember those shorts, especially when they were an emote! Looking forward to those charity streams! I wish Rik much happiness in his future!
It’s going to be different with Rik gone but he will never be forgotten. Such a personality! I wish you the best in life
What an incredible clip montage and joyful send-off
Wow, how time flies by. I wish Rik all the best in his bright future. I'm glad I discovered this channel about 3 years ago, looking forward to what's to come.
Such an amazing guy.
Some of my fave moments were always the last episodes of your Don't Starve series. Setting the base on fire, the ghost band R2zee-vo, but especially when Rik was frantically shouting as the Bearger is demolishing the base.
Gonna miss his sweet, chaotic energy in your games.
Best of luck to him and his lovely family.
Sad to see Rik leaving but I’m very happy that it’s for a sweet and wholesome reason. He’s a great dad and husband and I’ll defiantly miss him over here
I hope you guys still stay in contact and remain friends, and I wish Rick and his family all the best, it's been a great ride and we will miss you rick
Rik is a verb. My husband and I just started playing Don't Starve Together, and I like to play as Willow. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I've Rik'd our camp twice, and purposely Rik'd a few forests.
We're gonna miss editor Rik, but I know I speak for a lot of folks when I say- Rik, we're really grateful for everything you've done, all the good times and laughs, and we wish you & your family ALL the good things!!!!
Man, I found your guys' channel recently, as of like, 2-3 years ago, when COVID happened. The first playlist I binged was your Ultimate Chicken Horse playthrough (currently binging the PlateUp! playthrough rn) and then I saw you guys had a channel for D&D, and hell, if I didn't find the first episode of Hero Squad by chance, I wouldn't have gotten into D&D entirely.
I'm excited for where this channel is going to go, and I wish Rik well in life ^^
Also, hey. I don't know if Stumpt has something in mind, but let's petition to have Rik commemorated in the Stumpt recording studio and the banner. So even when he's gone, he's still here a part of the team. (Maybe a plush red fox, or something equally representative of Rik? Hell, maybe a drawing hung on the wall of the most Rik thing to ever Rik.) It'd be nice to see on the channel and on the streams just in the background.
When I first found your channel it was Covid. And the first video I came across was Gang Beasts. I loved the newer and old videos of Gang Beasts, I went back to the very first video and watched on, all the way to #300! I’m going to miss Rik. I hope that some day he will return and reunite with the Stumpt Gang. Sending ❤s to Rik and all of Stump. Hope you guys are all doing well ❤.
I only started watching in the last few years but I loved watching all the old videos with Rick,
I’ll definitely miss rik, his humor is amazing to me but I’m glad he’s taking time to be with his family
Fond farewell to Rik. I will miss you but am so happy you are making such a great choice for you and your family.
I cannot choose a favourite Rik moment as there are too many. But I am currently rewatching Jaz and Rik play Death Squared. Rik just said "Stop Tokyo Drifting! It's only cool when cars do it!" Amazing.
I fell into a deep rabbit hole with this channel when I came across the first Don't Starve Together series. It wasn't just watching you guys play but also listening to the conversations yall would have. So much fun and I just felt like I was part of it. Thank you Rik for being part of that experience that got me to join the Stumpt family.
When I saw this video notification, I didn't want to click on it, because I didn't want this news to be real. I'm really sad to see you leave Rik, and I will always consider you as part of Stumpt. I discovered you guys 7 years ago, during a very rough time of my life, and you really made a positive impact on it. Your family is lucky to have you to take care of them. I will miss you
I'm newish to the channel. I stumbled across when I started playing overcooked so I was looking for people who played it and bam found you guys! So I only started watching in about January 2022 so I was very late and only caught Rik in his last months as a main member..but in that time, it was great to watch the dynamics and I've been a regular viewer of his Monday night streams. So I'll be sad to see him go but I'm glad he'll still be doing some things and I'll keep on coming back here too. Will miss you on this channel and your edits Rik! All the best
We will miss you Rik! Much love to you and family! ❤
🩳❤🩳❤🩳
Gonna miss seeing Rik together with the rest of the group. I'm going to go back and search for some of my fave Rik moments. Looking forward to seeing what kind of neat ideas he comes up with for his own channel!
There's so many good moments with Rik, and of course Stumpt in general! Going to miss him!
Sad to hear about Rik. Sincerely miss him on the channel and wish him all the best!
Happy anniversary guys! Glad to have been here to watch for a good couple of them!
Best of wishes to Rik going forward!
Best of luck Rik! Sad to see him leave but super excited to see him make content again on his new channel. A small moment that I found super hilarious was Rik burning a forest for some ash in Don't Starve Together at the end of s4e6. His delayed response to Price is hilarious. Natural comedic timing.
Been following Stumpt for 5 years now ever since I discovered your playthrough of Overcooked. This channel and community is the best gaming content I've ever seen. Can't wait to see what else y'all have in store.
I remember the fudgey the whale Game of Life episode- it was one of the first nights after my fiance and I got our house and I was cleaning the kitchen to get it ready to move in. Thank you Stumpt for the years of memories, and the times you made awful times more bearable.
Yes! You put it so well. I'm most grateful to stumpt for making awful times more bearable. Thanks!
We will miss you Rik. You are the best Gamer Daddy. I hope for the best for you and your family.
Rik was fun sad to see him go but life has to life
Sad to see you go Rik but happy to see you journey towards avenues that make you happy. I'll try to keep up with your channel, take care man!
I have been watching this channel for at least 8 years of existence, the comstent talk between the group was the bit of excitement I got when coming home from school, and seeing Rik, the one who usually said the weirdest and most controversial things, leave brings tears to my eyes, literally. I hope him and all the stumpt crew find a good equilibrium despite this and cab continue their lives Happily.
As someone who found yall when you had less an 1000 subs to today I can't watch the montage without so many tears.
Thank you Rik, for all the laughs & inspiration. You along with the rest of the stumpt crew has inspired me to always be myself, never fear judgement and that friendship is more important than all.
We started Maple Tree Gamers last year hugely thanks to the stumpt crew's inspiration and I will never be able to thank yall enough.
I love those funny moments vids, I find myself laughing so hard every time, and I'll even go back and rewatch them if i need a laugh. Gonna miss you Rik!
Sad to hear he's leaving but good to know it's not on bad terms. Good luck to him and his family and hopefully we at least get to hear from him once in a while as a surprise guest
Best wishes to both Rik and the remaining Stumpts.
The little red biking shorts is a real gem. You can't unwatch it.
There are a lot of great moments where his chaotic energy made great situations.
Was it Rik that managed to drop a bomb in the exact middle of the groups greenhouse in Stardew valley and with a "Oh, God nooo!" managed to wipe out ALL the harvest in one swift stroke?
Not to mention his fantastic edits the last year. It was a treat to still have him present with comments on your gameplay and fun little inserts. It elevated the videos from great to fantastic.
I hope you will have him as a cameo guest once in a while if possible.
Love from Sweden.
My favorite moment of Rik was the little Red bike shorts dance he did for us in GTA 5. I love that moment and I am sad to see Rik leave. But I am so happy for him to get on with his next chapter and we will always love and appreciate him. I grew up watching Stumpt and will always consider him one.
I grew up watching you guys, and while it is sad Rik is leaving, I'm very happy for him to be able to do what he wants and take care of his family. I know how happy he was when he became a father, so I'm glad he's gonna be able to focus more on that. As for my favorite Rik moment... I honestly have a few! Space engineers 'Space Madness', Crawl and 'LET ME SPEND MY MONEY!', Gang Beasts when he landed on the truck again from being launched, and I believe there was a moment in the original Grounded series where he got fully jumpscared by one of the marshmallow Spiders. I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them right now, BUT I'm really happy for Rik. You've got this man, remember to take breaks for yourself and to do what you need to! Happy 9 year anniversary y'all! ❤️
I only first learned of Stumpt in 2020, but I watched the heck out of your videos while working remotely and they were one of the only sources of joy I had during such a dark time for me. I'm going to miss Rik. Probably the greatest Stumpt moment of all time was the finale of the first DST playthrough (which was how I learned of Stumpt) with the fire that destroyed like 20 episodes worth of progress that coincided with the random boss fight, all because Rik had tried to burn a twig. It was the funniest let's play episode I had ever watched. I'm going to miss him. I hope he'll be occasionally featured on the channel
Favorite moment besides team rash shannagagins. Is when Rik used a pit maneuver at the end of a race in GTA 5
All the best to Rik and his family! I enjoyed all you guys playing together and I also enjoyed Rik’s editing over the last year.
As for the current Stumpt crew: I hope to see many more videos of you guys in the future! You make my day (and on a side note….you also helped immensely with my English :P Thanks for that as well!
We love you Rik and thank you for all the great memories!
Thank you so much Rik for so many amazing memories and hilarious moments throughout the years. It's sad to see you fully leaving the channel, but I wish you so much happiness in the future and I'm so glad that you're pursuing what's best for you! You'll be dearly missed but never forgotten you and your little red bike shorts will love on in our hearts ❤❤
There's a lot of good Rik bits throughout the channel, but my all-time favorite is Rik's Minecraft bits. From digging holes to sudden Rik misadventures! And seconded by his silly line "Don't worry! I'm fine! I'm fine!"
Good luck Rik! Thank for the excellent entertainment for the whole 9 years!
And for Stumpt, I'm probably here for only half of the 9 years, but it's been a good ride and I'll be here till the end. Happy Anniversary!
Absolutely gutted to hear Rik is leaving, but wish him all the best for the future. My fave Rik moment was when he made the Light-fingered joke that had Jazzy crying. I swear I've never laughed so hard in my life 😂😂😂
Rik always had such fun energy in any video he was apart of. It was different from the rest of the crew, but complemented them perfectly. From another girl dad, I wish him all the best.
I've been a fan for a long time, and I would like to say: We'll miss you Rik!!!! I wish him and the rest of you all the best!!!
One of my favorite Rik moments was the character he played in the maid RPG video, he even brought back the bike shorts wig!
Currently watching all of the don’t starve together series and Rik makes so many amazing jokes. I love when Ash, Price, and Rik “get the band together!!”
Not ash also announcing a new season!!! I’m so excited!!
Sad to see Rik was always my favorite member, you guys were part of my childhood so I appreciate that and rik would be missed
Enjoyed the rambles. I hope to see them more often.
I remember loving the Fran Bow series. It was the one thing that introduced Stumpt to me, and I do visit it every now and again. A favorite Stumpt moment of mine is when you guys were playing Broforce and Ash yelled at someone to move during a stage in Hell, but he was the one who was standing still. The second he realized that, I just lost it.
About Rik, I'm kinda bummed that he left, but I know how hectic life can be. You gotta prioritize things and people that matter to you the most. At one point you just don't have time for games any more. I'm just glad there is no animosity between you guys. Hopefully he can drop by sometimes as guest. I wish him and everyone at Stumpt the best. Gonna miss the shenanigans between Rik and Price.
My favorite moment is when you guys were all friends and kept supporting each other!
Sobbing, crying, and throwing up, AHHH this is crazy to me, looking forward to continuing to support all of you
My favorite rik moment would be all the tabletop games you play with him, he always has such fun character
Wishing the best for Rik and his family. I will always cherish the time Rik set the whole base on fire S1 of Don’t Starve haha so happy y’all are starting a new Don’t Starve series!
My favorite moments from Captain Rik: in Overcooked when y’all were doing the ice island fish and chips level, Rik sounded like a crazy person and Ash pointed it out and everyone had a huge laugh. In Stardew Valley when Rik was running around town yelling for Penny or someone else he was trying to romance.
Also I love the Deathroad To Canada play-throughs, both the 4 player when I think Rik blew everyone up with the Doom guy’s rocket launcher, and also the Coop play-through with Jazzy-poo.
Much appreciate your contributions to Stumpt! You will be missed!
Will miss Rik in Stumpt so much but so happy it’s because he’s doing what makes him happy and it’s to be a wonderful dad. He had so many absolutely hilarious moments that brought me joy though some of my favorite rewatches were his surprise win as the alien in Stumptmas Push the Button and/or really any other time he’d win in Dead by Daylight/PropNight/any game lol. What can I say, it was always a lot of fun to root for him win or lose and hear his banter with the rest of you, thanks for the memories!
Man I’m so sad to hear rik is leaving I’m really going to miss him
Best of luck Rik. Have always enjoyed you in the videos and live streams, even just your funny edits. Sad to see you go, happy you are able to be there for your family. Lots of love being sent your way!
Best of luck Rik! It was included, but the Rik and Price I’m Just a Bear duet from GTA is one of my favorites!
Thanks to all of you for being my favorite RUclipsrs!
I started watching you guys when you played gang beast.
Ever since then I watched your channel evolve and grow. Popping back in from time to time as my attention was focused elsewhere.
You guys gave me great enjoyment when I was in school. But it’s nice to know that rick is doing well and he will be missed dearly.
I will never forget the first fan art I drew with everyone in their gang beast a-tire 😢
Best of luck Rick you have earned an Australians respect .
Happy anniversary! I'll miss Rik, best of luck to his family and new endeavors! (PS not sure if Rik reuploaded or something, but clicking on the link in the description leads to a 'This video is private' page)
Gona miss yea Rik. I've always felt you were the one to balance the group. Have a good life and take care of your girls and keep on keeping on!
Was doing ok until Little Red Bike Shorts came on 😭 tell me why I started CRYING over BIKE SHORTS!! lol I'm so excited for another DST series, one of my all time favorite Rik moments was from DST when he accidentally decimated the base right before the Deerclops came 🤣 I'm so happy that Rik gets to spend more time with his wonderful family going forward, and I can't wait to see what he does on his own in the future! 💜
