Jim Sterling / James "Stephanie" Sterling / James Stanton/Sexton & in memoriam TotalBiscuit (John Bain) - One Gaming Lolcow Thread

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Not 100% filled in on my Jim lore, but has Jim ever tried to make a game. I'd love to see him give it a go, not even that I don't think he couldn't make something.

I've realised how much Jim is useless. He's doesn't build anything or offer any unique criticism. He just rags on stuff gamers already dislike. He's the DSP of games journalism. He offers nothing, and just subsists off of others content. Atleast DSP has the fun of watching him fail.


He did voice acting for Zoe Quinn's kickstarter scam game. I'm sure it's completely unrelated to the fact he refuses to mention what you'd think someone who is so big on ethics in gaming would be all over.
 
Yeah it's always been clear that Yahtzee treats ZP as exactly what it is and made sure to keep irons in many lucrative fires --I was surprised and delighted to hear he'd actually got writing work for Ubisoft recently on Watchdogs Legion-- but more important than that he has maintained a firm separation between his online persona and his real life. At any point Ben could drop off the internet and leave nothing much in his wake but a bunch of funny videos.

Meanwhile Jim has become increasingly more Terminally Online, can no longer separate his work from the miserable husk he's become and has accrued years and years of the kind of TAHXIC baggage that would turn any future employer's hair white (not that he has the transferable skills to apply for anything other than fast food or shelf-stacking, anyway).

ETA: If you want to know the worth of a man and his works, one of the best metrics is how much he tweets.

Yahtzee's verified, Jim isn't :story:

I bet he's furious about that!

Not a fair comparison, Jim has been on Twitter 13 months longer and has only 8.6x the views!

Jim refused to get Verified a few years back when it was hip and cool.
 
Imagine paying for Geshin then asking for free shit and the company says no. Will Jim cover it though?
Giving gacha paypigs the least free shit as possible, while still retaining them as engaged and paypigs is a delicate task.
As in if Jim's gonna do it, depends. If Fifa did it, that would be a guaranteed jimquisition. Also, since the topic of China surfaced, their government are calling games a spiritual opium and wants to erase not masculine enough men from the media. Lots of actual material about gaming, and something different for a change. But I feel like this topic might be inconvenient for Jim. Time will tell.

Lol of course not. Jim is the epitome of "criticizes endlessly, but cannot create".
 
Genshin Impact seems like a perfect topic for Jim, since it's a free game you can easily get dozens of hours out of --speaking from experience-- without spending a single, solitary cent unless you desperately want a specific waifu to jack off to.

That's the ideal framework for Jim to completely blow out of proportion and posit that because 0.01% of the playerbase are idiots who can't control themselves Capitalism has failed and must be abolished.
 
I think that's the real kicker with Jim, on top of Angry Gamer Man schtick being obsolete: You could always tell that AVGN, Nostalgia Critic and all their clones were faking or exaggerating the anger for entertainment purposes, because that's what an entertainer does, but watching a grown man (dressed as a woman) get actually Mad Online and seethe about something as utterly unimportant as video games is just pathetic.

TL;DR Jim's modern videos give me the same vibe as those grown-ass men who recorded themselves unironically crying over Star Wars trailers.
At least the people crying over Star Wars are passinate about it. Jim isn't he is a bad game reviewor, bad player if you ever see him play. With Jim he is angry about all the bullshit in gaming but refuses to cover what most gamers actually care about. That most games don't suck or have bad buisnues practices. If you don't like this or what a franchise became. Stick to the classics there is 40+ years of gaming to play there is to many in a lifetime. Most don't and i'm glad they are dying who cares about Cyberpunk and publishers talk about something else or positive there are always good stories. But they don't because no one wants good new they want to be mad.
Not only that, he added his high shriveling voice to the grind-a-thon called plague road. Now you know two reasons not to buy that game
Plus the game sucks.
 
As I have before, I subject myself to the podquisition. I guess I'm a masochist. In this episode, Jim all but confirms that he and Laura Kate Dale had sex, possibly involving the two lads from the last episode. Meanwhile Conrad sits in the background silently screaming. Jim states that he is not attracted to Conrad, although he expresses a joking(?) attraction to Johnathan from the other podcast, then Conrad thankfully shoots the whole thing down by claiming he's unfuckable. A bit of holiday chat, some videogame stuff where it turns out skatebird is shit, scaring Jim, who hasn't played it due to being in the UK.

And then the news. A celebration of a developer moving to a 4 day, 32 hour work week. Praise is given out but they don't understand a thing about real jobs so they move on quickly. Epic vs Apple ends in a draw, some bitching about Capitalism bt no deeper analysis. Whining about the pro-life CEO, and some bitching about twitch and the hate raids, while continuing to ignore simple solutions like not tagging yourself as a target.

The trans praise loop returns. Whenever Jim complements Laura or vice versa, a compliment is given in return, resulting in another compliment, which is sickening in many ways. We laugh about the 41% but I'd say Conrad is the one who will off himself first. God knows I can't stand it, and the guy clearly has issues.
 
I reckon this angle is enough for the Western SJW's and their associated media to get up in arms.
Yes, you'd think so. I have a feeling, that Jim and the like are nervous on touching such a subject before somebody else does, to see the initial reaction.

I hate this overly simplistic view, but that is exactly what Jim would say, because it has been the dominant view since the history of man. This just makes me think of the video nasties debate (or the ever ongoing satanic panic, or literally any moral panic). Just because a 0.01% bunch of retards ate themselves to death on cheap cake, doesn't mean we need to take it off the shelves to protect the public. In fact, why the hell does Jim take this viewpoint, when he also takes the viewpoint that videogames are art and should never be censored by evil pearl-clutching conservatives?

And while I am having a go. What does Jim actually think advertising is? Just a bit of honest and fair info about a product or service?

Also I love playing Genshin.
I am absolutely the target audience for this in terms of genre/income/battle system etc. That said, this game is neither hard, nor takes up much time. I've been playing it for a year now, because I am the kind of person who enjoys a nice grind, some exploration, and I spent exactly 5eurobux on it because I wanted a promiscious underage boy 1000 year old god anime cliché to balance my party and I got him too. My parties are almost exclusively 5 stars anyway (except healers). I swear I have about 85% of characters F2P without even fucking trying, and the ones that are not garbage I work up to 90 with full talents and a bunch of legendary artifacts to eradicate everything within my path. But... I only log in like one hour a day, maybe a few hours on the weekend when there's a massive release. It's just not a hard game at all. It's pointless fluff. It's the British Bake Off of gacha. Those people who spent thousands of dollars for pyro Batman and a waifu harem are just cake-hogging retards to me.
Gacha and lootboxes, to me, are just digital natural selection, and Jim wishes he wore pearls as well as Mary Whitehouse.
 
@Prince Vegeta The easiest way I've found to shut up all these gacha-hating, pearl-clutching faggots is to ask them where the fuck they were while Pokemon cards were a thing for the last 20 years.

Pokemon Cards are the exact same thing as gacha games and yet there was never a moral panic over MUH IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN stealing from their parents to go buy them, or poor, frail gambling addicts re-mortgaging their house, wife and kids to buy 1,000 boxes off Amazon. The only reason they're not demanding regulation for Pokemon Cards is because a fat fuck in a bad wig hasn't told them they need to be freaking out about people buying Pokemon cards.

Well, actually that's not quite true: Jim did make a video about Pokemon cards, yet curiously not once did he make the obvious connection to their gacha model; almost as if he knew doing so would reveal him for the blinkered retard he is.
 
There may be another option: Nintendo announcing N64 and Genesis games as a paid add-on to their online service might spark some ire.
"I can't believe those fucking chinks at Nintendo have the audacity to ask for money for a bunch of old games that I haven't played in years and wouldn't play again unless they made them available like this. Pirate Nintendo games, they don't deserve the extra 5$ because this is something that should be 100% free because communism is great and CaPiTaLiSm Is EvIl"

You know, years ago I worked with Conrad, he was frankly a normal person who happened to be leaning left and he still is mostly normal and sane I think, he's just surrounded by way crazier people. I sometimes think he misses Jim and doesn't like this new Stephanie person in his old friend's meat suit. Jim clearly has changed for the worse, and Conrad feels very much like he's just towing a line and enjoys working with a friend whose becoming ever more miserable and self destructive. I expect him to snap soon. LKD is a bad influence on that show, and Conrad seems to me like he's wanting to pursue things.

yes, i see no lie up until here
buh what about pokemon cards????
I could give less of a fuck about pokemon cards, pokemon cards are not videogames. Fuck Genshin Impact, the chinks who made it and all of this gacha/F2P shit, they should make a proper fucking game. I'm not gonna change my viewpoints just because some tranny I don't like has them as well.
