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

[Lurkor]

Jim, fix your lighting. I shouldn't be able to see the reflection of your lights in your glasses.

 

[Nixxit]

And he brought along that twink of his with a hate boner for the Persona franchise.

Man, have the standards gotten so low that this passes for a twink ?

As to the video, I just couldn't watch it all the way through, the premise is just so unbelievably stupid that there's just no point hearing much of the rationale.

If you're legitimately so much of an idiot that what is a trivial, even non-thinking task to the average person becomes that much of a problem, the problem's you, not society. And I could see an argument that people should be able to lock themselves out of that kind of things on registration, like people are able to self-ban from casinos (At least you can in my country) if they have gambling issues, but no, the 0.1% cannot dictate what happens to the 99.9% - which is pretty interestingly a point of contention for a certain part of the trans' community, which for now I haven't really seen Jim hint at belonging to, but I'm definitely not ruling it out.

 

[Cyberfunk]

Jim is wearing a pet play collar... So he is basically pretending to be a dog (or cat?) for somebody and might be doing it all day considering he wears it in the video...

From dictator to bdsm slave ranting to professional gaming companies about how he and his gender trash friends must be taken seriously. It doesn't matter if he uses the same video essay tone this shit is so distracting, it gets to me more than his podium full of toys did in the past. Dear god Jim just abandon your channel and go talk about gender politics somewhere else.

This feature already exists, it's achieved by not buying the game.

To that end, one concession I would accept is forcing publishers to put a little lootbox sticker or something on the covers of games that contain paid 'gambling' mechanics, to help the genuine 0.0001% of people affected avoid that sort of thing (cause God knows parents don't read content warnings, so it'll do fuck all for them).

 

[RodgerDodger]

Is Jim wearing a slave collar now? I'm not sure if that's what it is, Kevin Gibes has one but it looks different.

Oh my! So how many remaining subscribers bailed on this trash fire?

Also regarding gambling mechanics and microtransactions, you just know if Jimbo's finances get leaked they will show that he's a biggercaddicted whale than DSP.

 

[Decoy St. Chum]

God, I just think microtransactions are gay and I don't want them in my vidya. Why must this faggot be at the forefront of it?

Uhhh nigga...Genshin is "free". So is Fortnite and that wrestler game that DSP spent five figures on.

That's already a thing.

[Spoilersplease021]

Can anyone with adhd comment on this point in the video?

It just sounds like bullshit someone could fully disassociate while buying an in app purchase in a video game, personally it sounds like a lie to cover up the fact he spent more money. Would make more sense why the video in itself is such a leap of logic saying that loot boxes in games specifically target "neuro diverse" people. They're already predatory as shit, you don't need to make another leapfrog. Also reminds me of the time Callmecarson's ex girlfriend dissociated every time when she cheated on him, when she had sex with 31 guys apparently.

 

[Muppetstudios]

Fucks sake the latest video is just two guys cosplaying woman, the fake banter is so fucking cringe

 

[🔪Cold Steel Brand Rep🔪]

He's stopped trying to make arguments or drive solutions long ago and this is how that usefulness is manifesting itself somehow. Its sad, I've been a fan of his since before the Digital Homicide bullshit started and it just gave him this incredibly inflated head and wave of popularity that he had no fucking clue how to keep, and now he's simply doing the smartest financial decision he can, by shacking up with the trans community and going for leftist star appeal with a bunch of guests in between his incoherent rambling fits. I wanted to buy one of his shitty red pins for the warm fuzzies and he's retconned the red motif from his store entirely, its truly a one of a kind and fascinating story of how trooning out to avoid an inevitable deathfat spiral causes one to just delete their save file and start a new character. Anyways, back to the bong.

 

[Neil]

Jesus, these thumbnails are getting harder to look at. This has to be the worst one by far. And he brought along that twink of his with a hate boner for the Persona franchise.

I can just fucking tell the sub loss is about to quadruple from this video's thumbnail alone. Even the last Podquisition drove away longtime listeners because of how blatant and grossly detailed Jim was being about his fetishes.
It's only downhill from here.

 

[Marche]

I like how both of them are wearing the tranny flag colors like we coulnd't fucking tell.

 

[Prince Vegeta]

That smug 'your supervisor will be hearing about this' grin in the thumbnail is definitely a new level of cuntishness for Jimmy.

As for the JQ: I am legitimately impressed he's actually managed to make the leap that microtransactions are ableism, because spastics and addicts can't control themselves and not buy them.

By that logic, Jim, everything about video games --all entertainment media, in fact-- is an accesibility issue, because it's all designed to make you want to consume it as quickly and as frequently as possible. You're gonna have to pluck out your eyes like Sam Neil in Event Horizon to escape the capitalist bastards this time, old chum.

By that logic, the next step is: loot boxes are a hatecrime. Five quid says he'll be there by Christmas.

I'll bet on hatecrime by Thanksgiving for the weird first nation ideas that anglos have, white supremecy by christmas lol.

The white supremecy because the ceo's/stockholders are mostly white or something, IDK what they actually are.

 

[Frosted Snowflakes]

Now why does that picture reminds me of Beavis & Butthead?

Didn't watch the video, so I'm just working off of what other people have posted. One of my friends has ADHD. I can't really comment on it too much because, they take medication for it. Shockingly, when you are actually diagnosed for real with a condition, it turns out there are real treatments that make it extremely manageable. But, there were a few times where they forgot to take it and had some flareups.

It certainly didn't make them disassociate or anything. Outwardly, they seemed fine. I noticed they rambled a little more than usual, over explaining things, but nothing particularly excessive. They mentioned it was harder to focus when we were working and had to ask for things to be repeated/clarified a few times.

I never noticed any issues with impulse control or exorbitant spending or anything. If anything, I'd think they might spend less on loot boxes just because I don't think they'd be able to focus enough on the cash shop. Usually, if you're spending money on lootboxes, you're trying to get a lucky pull for something specific. There's something that incentivizes you, but I'd think if you're having trouble focusing, you're more likely to give up then keep going for the "one more pull" mentality. At worst, I could see it being easier to overlook how much you spent on previous purchases so you're more likely to build up a big bill not realizing how much all the little purchases add up.

But, that's also just how lootboxes are designed to be. Saying that people with ADHD or autists are whatever are specifically being targeted is just dumb. That's such a small percentage of the population, and it's not like they're known for being rich. The whole entire point of loot boxes and microtransactions is you cast a wide net to catch as many whales as possible. You're appealing to the general audience of your game, and games aren't made to cater towards people with ADHD/Autism/whatever else.

 

[Oliver Onions]

God, I just think microtransactions are gay and I don't want them in my vidya. Why must this faggot be at the forefront of it?

99% of people agree, doesn't matter. Good luck getting the industry to dump a billion-dollar revenue stream.

Uhhh nigga...Genshin is "free". So is Fortnite and that wrestler game that DSP spent five figures on.

Okay? Same rule applies: Just don't play it. Problem solved. If people still do and waste thousands on it that's their fault for being retarded.

But it's America so y'know, it ain't gonna do shit.

Then they've done everything they have to, and if poor, helpless addicts continue to buy these games ignoring the warnings they've brought it on themselves.

 

[Millennium Rooster]

Funny how Jim is not capable of watching a tv show for more than 5 min, but it's capable of playing a game so much to the point of being asked to start paying for content. It's like his ADHD is very selective of what he can and can't concentrate on.

Notice a name missing? Jimbo himself hasn't pledged to the book yet. If he does remember, I bet it's because he reads the thread.

Jim is not there, but the twink they share, Phoenixperson, is.

Spoiler: Jim with Pheonixperson

OPPS Wrong PheonixPerson

Also, UPDATE: Another 1k subs lost, ladies and guntleman. The road to -100k continues.

Jim better move quickly to Pittsburgh and get really good at wrestling, because his YouTube career is going down the drain.

Maybe he should stop throwing out his Cash for stupid shit like Wrestling Training, toys or his desperate attempt to appear somewhat female. Soon we have another bankruptcy saga on our hands.[/spoiler]

Why the fuck is Jim wearing a god dam dog collar? Is he into fucking petplay now or something? He's got the thick rimmed tumblr girl glasses, trans colours and is posing/making faces like a smug feminist. The only thing less appealing visually than this would be having to see the axe wound the side cut potato faced monster next to him has.
