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

These people still wholly exist in the 90s/early 2000s, the last hurrah of the religious right as a cultural force. They're stuck in the Bush years aside from certain more modern genderspecial shit, and their mindsets make a lot more sense when you get this little quirk. They still act like the satanic panic was less than a decade ago, and they just can't get that the bad orange man that they hate so much was the thing that once and for all broke the back of the 'moral majority' as a political kingmaker in the GOP.

They're not just tilting against a windmill, they're tilting against the empty space where a windmill used to be.

When you put it like that, it makes a lot of sense. I remember the late 2000s where it was wholly mainstream to be making fun of religious crackpots and extreme right-wingers. Nothing has really changed, apart from the definition of 'extreme' right has crept further left.

To be fair all this shit runs together after a while, but I am certain it's been around in this context since at least 2014.

As i recall, Tumblr popularised the fad of the alphabet people and I remember it was originally LGBTQ+ before they started adding the IA, because queer was used as a catch-all for whatever nebulous shit you came up with to make yourself even more special than the regular genderspecials.

Fwiw in 2012 in the universities I worked in, 'queer' was already hot shit. Just put that word in the title of your research proposal and humanities funding was guaranteed! That and 'gender relations'.

I may or may not have used that to get funding on a project making algorithms to calculate back other algorithms.

In 2012ish I got a load of shit for saying I didn't really care either way about the whole fag marriage thing because frankly why would I. 10 years later I've had the same shit for not caring either way about abortion. Strangely that shit only comes from one "side" of the debate, PSA that is not how you get me to join your side.

Whats the thing they always say, "silence is compliance"? If you aren't openly championing these causes you might as well be leading the lynch mob in their eyes.

 

[LastTrainHome]

I understand a grifter's gotta grift but you'd think Jim and people who actually hold the beliefs he pantomimes would have grasped, after almost a decade of this retarded culture war, that 99.9% of people just want to play games and watch movies/TV and read comics to be entertained, because that's all it is to them: entertainment.

If anything it betrays how deeply entrenched in their hugboxes they've become, that they actually think the average consumer gives one iota of a shit about disposable media; as if they don't finish it then immediately move on with their lives.

I'm embarrassed when I think back on how personally invested I got in the Holy Autism War, but I cannot imagine how utterly miserable your life has to be to be in your 30s and still getting genuinely upset about video games, like Jim.

Whats the thing they always say, "silence is compliance"? If you aren't openly championing these causes you might as well be leading the lynch mob in their eyes.

'silence is violence' is what's peddled. which would you rather someone do: sit in front of you in silence for one minute or punch you in the face as hard as they can?

of course if you ask anyone this who sincerely believes in the concept, they'll bullshit you 'til the sun sets next thursday.

"it's a broader term than that. as in, if there's no outspoken counter to the one causing conflict, the one causing conflict has no counter. it's not so much using two positives to match up but the absence of a positive versus a positive. that positive then overtakes the absence, hence violence fills the silence - silence is violence."

lunacy.

 

[Space Retard]

He says this with such a condescending, almost confused voice, almost as if he doesn't understand the concept of gamers only caring about video games.

In awe of the size of this lad. He's built like the Globglogabgalab.

the sad part is this is the best hes ever looked in years, trooning aside hes lost so much weight.

the sad part is this is the best hes ever looked in years, trooning aside hes lost so much weight.

And yet he's still so obese that he loses his balance twice in the opening sequence of the latest video

Was he trying to cosplay as the girl from borderlands?

Considering how much he hates Randy Pitchford I think you're onto something. Randy lives so rent free in his mind that Jim unintentionally starts dressing up like character from a Gearbox game. Almost poetic.

Spoiler that, please.

 

[Sheep King]

Of course he's going for the oversexualized* character that only makes jokes about sex. You wouldn't go for the butch mechanic, or for the quirky kid character. It's not a fetish you guys.

And that corset is super tight. Where are your organs, Jim? Where are your organs?!?

*Oversexualized in SJW terms. This would be considered modest or classy in an anime.

When you put it like that, I'm kind of glad he chose the bartender chick. Tiny Tina would be so much worse on so many levels

He might've lost some weight but its mostly the corset that is making you think he's lost a lot of weight, he's still the same hamplanet he's always been.

He should have gone for Moxxi's daughter Ellie, much more in line with weight.

The idea of the UK becoming a “theocratic dictatorship’“ is really funny. Pretty sure the Anglican Church believes in cucumber sandwiches more than God.

I’ll be surprised if at least one church isn’t flying the new LGBT flag with the weird brown and pink colours while the church minister complains about the monarchy and government instead of talking about god this week with the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations.

 

[White-Kettle Shufflepunk]

You can tell America is still the current global power because every local chattering class thinks they live there. See also land acknowledgments in England.

 

[Donuteater]

Certainly possible but you have to be literally retarded to blow $150,000 year salary (Not including stream donations and the like) on plastic tat and drugs. I'm also curious how much of his money his wife got in the divorce, but coming out as a woman probably helped him on that end.

Remember, he's part of that big Patreon circle jerk. He probably loses thousands from donating to his friends who also donate to him.

Spoiler: Notes

Not much to say this month, except some figures got a little screwed by there being a fifth Monday in May; other than that things have pretty much carried on as expected.

I guess one thing worth noting is this might be the first month where Jim hasn't had a single video crack 200k views, an especially impressive feat given he had 5 rolls of the dice instead of the usual 4.
