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

The Lawgiver said:
Yeah considering how I've seen some people use it to excuse going through with their impulses like ADHD and Autism as a criticism shield this year I'd have to agree. unlike the others OCD is more directly tied to impulsiveness but the way people that have "OCD" do it is wildly inconistent with actual OCD.

Anyone who uses OCD as a excuse for poor impulse control is full of shit. From my experience dealing with it for most of my life its not impulsive, its compulsive. It doesn't affect regular impulse control, it makes menial tasks compulsive if that makes sense.

Things like turning the stove off. I know its off, it clearly says so. But now I gotta check every other stove burner to make sure those are off too even tho I know I didn't use them. Then I have to check all of them a second time, and a third time, and a fourth time, oops I got interrupted now I need to check it a 5th time. And then a sixth time.

Only way to end it is through acknowledging you know its off and dismissing any further thoughts on the matter as OCD and try to fight it like a bad itch trying to get you to scratch it. This turns a 5 second task into a 10 - 20 minute one

I wouldn't be surprised if Troon Sterling doesn't actually have OCD and is just using it for twitter likes because being "neuro divergent uwu" is all the rage on Twitter these days

Hell, inspired me to give a shit enough about my gaming hobby that I made a career in the industry. He was a dick head, but he cared. Dude gave a shit.

Genna just didn't know how to use what she was left to her, last I heard what money TB left behind she pissed against the wall. Genna was his cosplaying wife, and she didn't have the body to be popular for that anymore to do anything herself, and she didn't transition. Looking back on it, TB was trying to teach her how to take over, she refused to learn.

Looking at them, Jesse Cox is doing fine for himself now, so is Dodger. They moved on and found things to do as influencers and internet entertainers. They are doing good enough for themselves, regardless of your opinions on their content, politics or beliefs they found a way to be more than just in TBs shadow. Genna had the whole run up to TBs death to establish herself as a personality to take over or pivot to her own thing, she also had a post death grace period to do so. She didn't. She's only ever been TBs wife.

I remember TB saying he was leaving her with as much money as he could and his empire to keep earning money. After he died everyone started hitting on her so she fucked off to Korea (Without her crotch spawn) for like 6 months and was considering it permanently. (This was about the moment I stopped giving a shit)

After that I remember her trying to do the Co-Optional podcast and they were just sad reminders TB was gone and I stopped watching.

How the fuck can a man who's able to function perfectly fine for however many years Jim is, suddenly require up to 6 hours of daily therapy for a problem he supposedly have had all his life?

It's the same thing that Boogie pulled, he's not morbidly obese because he's a lazy asshole with zero will power, he's addicted to food.
It's not that he didn't listen to the doctors orders and keep to a pretty simple diet that his weightloss surgery didn't work, it's because he has social anxiety and he eats when he's stressed.

It's all excuses to do anything but have to look into the mirror and say, "there, that's the reason why I'm in the situation I'm in."

I totally understand if this is something you don't want to go into more detail about so feel free to blow off the question, does this work? And if it does work how long does it work for?

Of course you do Sterling, you have every single diagnosticated mental illness under the sun, or you found some quack doctor that will take you money and tell you what you wanna hear: "it isn't my fault, I have mental disorders".

This. I wondered why me moved to the US given his hatred of it. I wonder if part of the reason was that it allows this kind of quack shopping, or if it was a happy accident. Does someone more knowledgeable on Jim lore know how vocal he was about trans issues and mental illness was he made the move?

It could also be fun to speculate what TB would be doing now if it wasn't for the ass cancer. On the one hand he definitely wouldn't have trooned out or anything too crazy, but I have a feeling his takes on COVID and the George Floyd riots could have been the source of some juicy drama. TB was never really that much of a cow to be honest, he could be a bit smug and annoying at times but never as willing to embarrass himself as Jim.

What would have been fun is to see him react to the rising popularity of Warhammer 40k. I could see him going on a rant about the primaris marines when they were announced but then mellowing out over time. Could have branched out to Age of Sigmar alongside Crendor.

This is pretty off-topic but I saw the 3 cat profile pictures in a row and thought that somehow this was one of those Kiwifarm holiday themes where all profile pictures are replaced with topical ones, in that case, cats for...I don't know what I thought exactly, but I thought it.

I'll spoiler this as its mucho texto that's off-topic:
Someone I know is a shrink (or therapist or some shit I'm not sure what their exact field is) they told me a way to deal with it is pay close attention to what ever it is you need to, confirm what you need to then dismiss any urges from that point onward as nothing more than OCD

For example did you close that door? Pay close attention, check it once to see if its closed then walk away and any further urges your mind throws at you should be ignored.

It does seem to help for sure, at least for me. It's not a instant fix but it seems the more you keep at it the more the compulsive urges dissipate over time but feeding into the urges makes them worse.

If I keep at it aggressively enough some stuff I used to OCD over is no longer a problem for me anymore. If you have OCD give it a shot, its difficult but for me it helps

Not trying to defend Jim but OCD isn't always a life destroying thing. For some it can be but for others its more of a time sinking inconvenience that can vary in severity

But the 6 hours a day therpay is certainly fishy. He's either getting scammed by shelling out 6 hours worth of pay to a shrink every day, he's lying, or its somehow that bad but he's hid it. With how these tranny Twitter types are my bet is he's lying for more diversity points or at the very least over exaggerating how bad it really is.

"The Course is DAILY for 3 - 6 hours"
DAILY....
Say good bye to 'JimPressions' for awhile...
Click to expand...
So the same course they give to extreme PTSD suffering returning soldiers who saw their squad die before their eyes and have suffered a catastrophic destruction of identity due to the things they had to do... or the same course the give to in patients in wards designed for people who are between catatonic and non functional due to long trauma preventing them from functioning on basic levels...got it, Jim. You're definitely not lying and going to an overpriced quack who is making you do some internet tests and deep breathing for 5k of your patreon bux. you can tell I'm mati.

I once had to do a daily course. It was company training and involved psych tests. That took eight hours of my life and the snacks sucked.

Here's a better, shorter review without the insane rambling, and you don't even have to pay me for it!

"Popeye is an awkward attempt to revive the gameplay of the arcade classic that falls short because of poor level design and short-sighted general design issues."
Click to expand...
I felt the same way after watching the vid. There's a niche market for this kind of thing, like the kind of people who buy the 3D Q*Bert or Burgertime remakes. It's a very small niche, but small dev houses give it a whirl because the licensing is cheap, the gameplay is simple and already thought through and there's a baked-in fanbase.

It seems pretty weird for Jim to highlight, Popeye is pretty esoteric in 2021. But nothing he does had made sense for years.

Jim strikes me more as someone trying to get more pills for that boost to endorphins because his regular Skittles don't hit the same anymore.

Jim started collecting those victim statuses some time ago. With that SJW crowd it's better to have more victim cards and a white male who starts out in that sphere has to climb a long way to claim any of those cards.
They build their whole identity on those diagnoses. Doenst matter if self diagnosed or not.
This is just one more thing that he can present instead of an actual personality and it won't be the last. I wouldn't be surprised if he would cut of his leg to claim disability status.
