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

I just don't understand how does he have any people willing to give him money at all.
What's worse, he's making $12k a month?! That's the sort of compensation you'd give to someone who saves lives or fights fires for a living, not some fat dweeb who makes unfunny YouTube rants about video games.

I do remember reading somewhere that there is a lot of quid pro quo in patreon where peoply give cash to each other to artifically inflate their value. Not saying all of the cash Jimbo is wallowing on is fake but I wouldn't be surprised if a chunk of his cash gets directly redirected into other Patreon.

This without accounting for the troon racket since I would also be very surprised he didn't kiss some rings to get in the good side of the cult, specially since he doesn't seem to have the balls (lol) to chop them off.

We've gone from a Jimquisition about a dev on Steam to a review on Steam, the bottom of the barrel has been scraped and he's gone even lower. The whole playtime/price discussion has been going on for years and is ultimately subjective so why Jim feels compelled to talk about some rando's steam review is beyond me, the Domina dev being banned must've ruined his plan to milk it for a few more episodes.

For a moment there I thought it was my review he was picking over, then thanked my lucky stars I only posted that to a few discords and on here instead of steam.

He totally missed the point in comparing CotL to Issac or Hades. The game was billed as a Rogue-like simulation combo, which to fans of such games (like myself) expect to see lots of trial and error to get through the story of the game and to keep playing after finishing it.

Cult doesn't have any of this really. The 4 dungeons go "infinite" but there is no real reason to ever do this because materials are so easy to come by.

For the simulation side, it's incredibly easy to break after beating the first boss. and very little effort. Once you find the mushroom in the second dungeon and get the brainwash skill you will not have to worry about hunger or money while sending out cultist on expeditions to get more resources.

So all in all I understand the reviewers woes, for $25 they could have gotten a different colony builder or rogue lite that had infinitely more play time. All that said I enjoyed the game, it just didn't have enough meat for the price

Yes, this is very popular in troon grifting spheres too for troons with porn accounts or #transcrowdfund. There is this weird community fund that just circulates around the twitter sphere without really diminishing or being used for anything, like a perverted type of bridewealth. Although I don't doubt that Jim still makes obscene amounts of money from idiots as well.

For people who claim to be anti-corporate these people really love being nickel-and-dimed by said corporations. Every time they "crowdfund" each other, a small sum goes to the service operator. Repeat that a couple dozen times and that crisp $100 they started with starts looking more like $41.

The moment I saw Cult of the Lamb, I knew it was designed from the ground up to be streamer bait. And by how many streamers I saw playing it immediately upon release, along with all the memes and "fanart" (fucking furries), I'd say I called it correctly.

These games tend to be heavy on the quirk and relatively light on the content.

Don't even watch the new Jimquisition, its not worth watching and is just 13 minutes of him making fun of people who rightfully complain about the TLOU remake looking worse than the original.

I swear, Jim's content gets lazier by the day. Give a few more years and some lack of cooking skills and he will be fucking Jagoff Scalfatso in a dress. Fuck, if he keeps radicalizing he will be MovieBob with a wig, angry fat blob ranting from his basement about how everyone else is wrong and he is the best thing that happened to gaming, might even take the Lard of Lynn's place if views drop bad enough lol!

Precisely, but some of these guys clearly have let their current momentum go over their heads and don't realize they are either the designated meat shields or will serve that purpose once shit calms down and the blowback comes in the form of lawsuits and/or they stop getting as much hype and the sheer inconvenience of some people on their side becomes an incentive to throw them under the bus. I'm fairly certain this will happen with a special someone known for their colossal ego, tribalist mindset and unmeasurable idiocy, fuck, it's a matter of time in my view!

While it was obvious to us, its still surprising Jim has so openly admitting he doesn't care much for video games considering his primary (and really only) source of income is from hosting a show talking about them.

I was about to post something to this extent. I love fat people's """"""salads"""""" almost as much as their coffees. Jim must be eating well over 3000 calories a day to keep his ass that large.

Its probably far far more.

Jim claims to be 6'1" and with the most optimistic estimate ever that Jim weighs 275 pounds and gets light exercise, he would need 3,000 calories a day to MAINTAIN that weight. Given how much he has expanded since a short period of weight loss, he is probably eating 4,000 plus a day.

I opened Twitter to check how fat Jim is, and saw this picture of his floppy man tits, now you have to too.

Are you tired of Jim Sterling's skits?
Are you sick of being told Capitalism is bad?
Are you outright done with listening to a Brit convince you his tits are true and honest?
Do you think Jim is/was capable of making good points but he's too much of a spiteful, bigoted, terminally-online Twitter weirdo to live up to that capacity?
That's right baby, it's back.

Gloria From Pokemon Sword (and Shield) Presents:
THE JIMLESS JIMQUISITION
with your host: not Jim Sterling
Today's Remade Topic: The Last Of Us Part 1
​
Instead of wasting your time complaining for five+ paragraphs, let me site another example to easily show what's wrong here:
Now, YongYea's review here basically says that nothing is revolutionary, but if you play the remaster right after the remake, you'll notice a lot of differences. And basically all of them are an improvement, so what's the problem? Well, it's in the need to play them back-to-back to appreciate them. If you are capable of actually playing the games back-to-back to appreciate the changes, then you already have a more feature complete game. If you haven't, you're paying a LOT of cash for what amounts to slightly smoother controls and the (admittedly really well done) difficulty selection from Part II instead of getting the Cheaper PS4 Remaster.

The game looked and played fine on PS4. It seems to look and play better on PS5. But $70 better? No. If the game was a $50 game, I would maybe consider recommending it for it's better difficulty and way better costume selection. But unless you have $70 to spare and literally nothing else that interests for in the coming months, it's hard to say with a straight face this is a good deal, even if it's all but objectively a good game you're buying. Shame, really.

How does he know he likes "getting screamingly railed" more than talking about videogames? You can't compare anything to things you've never experienced.

IIRC he was a voice actor in Lisa: The Painful in a joke encounter where he made the protag cross dress at gun point. I think if you don't kill him you have to stay the rest of the game with the getup on, and Jim really didn't like it. I think he even took it a little personally. Maybe too personally. :thinking:
Click to expand...

Sorry for the necro-reply but having played Lisa recently I had to see if someone here mentioned this. That whole section is both hilarious and eerily foreshadowing given current day Jim, so much so that I think visual aid is in order.

For starters, they got his real man likeness down pretty well aside from the 6 pack where his keg should be (notice his name "Slave Lord Jim")

Not only does he "slide" you in to a nice (degrading) dress....

...he also makes you change your protagonists name to "Sexy Boy"...

..and then proceeds to drug you.

I'd love to hear how Jim would navigate slamming a videogame quest that many woke twittards would call hateful transphobic genocide etc., but also avoid throwing massive shade on a well-liked indie title developed almost entirely by 1 man that he willingly contributed his voice and likeness to.

Also after you beat him a 2nd miniboss "Jonathan" appears outside and he puts our troon caricatures to shame.
