Even from that distance, you can physically see him hyperventilating from that modicum of physical activity. Is wrestling some bizarre form of suicide for Jim?

JQ QRD:
  • Wrestling shit
  • Jim grants us the mercy of not appearing on camera for once. Probably because he crippled himself wrestling.
  • "Activision-Blizzard's success is proof karma doesn't exist" people who live in glass houses, Jim...
  • Jim is deeply upset a pay-to-win mobile game is full of pay-to-win mechanics.
  • Jim is deeply upset this business model is massively successful with consoomer idiots just like him.
  • Jim claims he 'did the journalism' by interviewing a handful of speds who bankrupted themselves on FIFA.
  • Jim is deeply upset video game companies are proud of making money.
  • Jim is deeply upset video game companies take advantage of whales, because individual responsibility is genocide.
  • Jim doesn't understand PR and why game companies don't just admit their games are shitty slot machines.
  • Jim is deeply upset the games industry haven't personally addressed his complaints.
  • "MUH ABLEISM"
  • Lazy fuck can't even be arsed to put a shitty skit at the end this week. Small mercies.

I'll bet this video's going to have a relatively higher number of views for two reasons:
1. Diablo: Immortal is stinky and bad and P2W, and despite everybody already knowing this, people still like hearing rants about bad games. More than shit about crunch, anyway.
2. The face in the thumbnail is slightly less horrifying than the usual suspect.

Whatever happens with the Patreon, whatever trends one might look for, they're about to be torpedoed pretty hard in the face of the growing economic issues in the world. Simply put, consumers tend to pull back from the most extravagant entertainment expenditures and 'feel-good' expenditures during times of economic hardship, focusing on saving money where possible. Considering how many of these patreon people are "My contents free, support me if you want" types, they're going to get hard slapped when their customer base starts to feel the squeeze.

Jims far from immune to this, and the screeching will be glorious. Expect a lot more anticapitalist rants as it plays out.

I want to agree, but considering so many people's patreons and people like live streamers continued to grow during 2020 with all the lockdowns, losing jobs, etc. I don't think there'll be much of a hit for the grifters.

The kinds of working class people who were most hard hit by lockdowns already likely weren't the big contributors to donor numbers. It was the techies, the office professionals who suddenly went remote, who had more money and time than sense and now nothing but the internet to explore. But now the economic consequences of all the fuckery that went down are coming for them as well, with the tech market struggling, or the bubble bursting depending on your opinions. We're gonna see a lot of junior techbro's and office workers who've never lived through a financial downturn have their excessive lifestyles crash against the walls of reality, and grifters like Jim suddenly won't be able to rely on them forking over absurd piles of cash for basically jack and shit at the end of the day.

Come on now, Mr Onions, that's going too far. He's just a three hundred and eighty six pound man whose body is pumped with synthetic black-market bathtub hormones which have Christ knows what effects on his metabolism, shrink wrapped like a supermarket ham under searing hot stage lights lifting and slamming a two hundred and eighty pound lesbian along with himself into a blood and piss stained tarpaulin in some chav beer dungeon in a damned and annexed corner of Armpit-on-Tyne, Engerland.

I think Suicide is a little strong, sir.

This video perfectly illustrates what's wrong with Jims content even if he didn't go crazy and troon out. What has he said in this video that hasn't been said already a hundred times by dozens of other content creators over the past month since the game came out?
At this point Jims complaints and "criticisms" are so similar if he didn't mention specific games you wouldn't know from which year the videos were.

Also for a second I thought he died at the start he just kinda sat there and it looked like he isn't gonna get up unless a crane lifts him on his feet again.

He's so nimble!

Also, has he ever fought anyone other than the "Tory"? I've only ever seen him fight this one guy (and Jim always wins) even though he's shared loads of clips.

Imagine being a wrestler and realising that in your next match you're going to have to touch and be touched by Jim. I'd honestly just refuse.

@Ooonkeh posted a photo from one of the events that Jim attended a few pages back (link) and it's pretty obvious from looking at it that there aren't a lot of people there who would find Jim any worse than the next weirdo.

They look like a group of low level villains from an old comic book. These aren't WWE wrestlers. They aren't even the B-tier wrestlers that show up to events in small-town America. I'm not even sure that this gaggle of goons is on Tonka Saw's level.

No one with any sense of standards, decency, or shame will be harmed by coming into contact with Jim at one of those events.

Diablo Immortal is a bit of a lazy target for this because you can hate Blizzard all you want like a rational person but they actually do seem to be trying to give everyone something by doing both Immortal and IV (and II remaster) rather than just mashing it all into one game that puts all its focus on the stuff that will make money. Rather than trying to force everyone into a single model that makes money for everything they're doing a lot better about "don't like that well how about this" including the changes they made to Overwatch 2 and so on. And to the broader Activision-Blizzard, they could have been absolutely shitty with Call of Duty but they really haven't been there either and provided lots of options and free content that used to be expensive as fuck DLC that never went on sale. Black Ops Cold War is still getting maps.

I'm not saying they're great or anything nor even that I personally am interested in most of this stuff but there have to be better targets surely? Companies that aren't actually improving and listening to fans (even if they aren't listening to Jim, the real sin)?

Not really - Diablo 4 doesn't exist yet, you get 0 credit for feel good statements about a game that's not on the market that can just as easily change by the time its actually out, and 2 resurrected predates Immortal and had its own issues - Regardless, having been good to me in 2021 does not excuse shitting on my plate and asking for a tip today.

There isn't really space for cap and trade on shit behavior for companies - they don't get to take credit from not fucking us over and use it to excuse fucking us over somewhere else at the end of the day. Its a psychological trick to think "Oh but they gave me X" when they didn't give you shit, if its a free to play they're just buttering you up for a sale by giving you something that costs them nothing, and if its a paid game you paid for it, shit wasn't free. Jims takes are asinine and underdeveloped, but going after Diablo isn't one of his problems at this point. Not bringing anything substantive or new to the conversation, as always, is his problem.

Are we only counting UK fights? Cause remember in America he fought a woman and did an incredibly clumsy move that could have easily broken her neck.

I'm pretty sure Jim says in the video (or another video, they all run together) that he wants games like Diablo Immortal outright banned. So it wouldn't matter how many GOTY alternatives Blizz-Acc put out, or if they publicly hanged Bobby Kotick; he'd still be kvetching because they're not doing exactly what he wants them to do.

I'd settle for Kotick being publicly flayed by a cat-o-nine tails.
