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

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.
This is why it drives me mad when obese people claim "but I can't afford to eat healthily!". One of my very large colleagues brings 3 takeaway meals in just for breakfast.
 
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.
Christ you should've spoilered that, it's been a while since I recoiled from looking at something on here. The worst part is all the asspats he gets on twitter for shit like this.
 
Hey frens, I finally remembered my password, what have I missed? Jim still fat and pretend-gay?

He's got in shape, completely reversed becoming non-binary, has actually managed to become witty and no longer appears on camera but rather uses basic animations to detail the games he's reviewing. His voice is no longer annoying but still very English sounding and all he does is review games.

Fuck... no, I've been watching Zero Punctuation, haven't I?

Yeah, Jim's the same.
 
If anyone is willing to upload the raw videos so I don't have to infect my YouTube Algorithm, I'll (try) go through them.
Can you look at this and summarize? I too don't wanna watch Sterling's crap.

The site in general is being slow, so I'll be taking my sweet time. But yeah, I'll give it a shot. Hope no one blames me if I regularly start and stop to detox from Sterling exposure with actual entertainment and/or vidya game coverage.

Your page loaded first so this video goes first. Fitting, given that it's the older of the two videos.
First six seconds is Jim singing that he has a Patreon as a nursey rhythm and promising to suck your dick if you donate to it. I already regret this and someone owe me for this. Anyway, this appears to be a pre-title drop gag. Hope it's not a running one. Wait, it's Jim. I hope it's not a slow waddling gag.

Born Different is still a good song and introducing me to it is [the] one really positive thing Jim has done. Same for "Stress" by Jim's Big Ego.

Jim had an actual laugh when he threw a piece of woman's cosplay away and knocked something over. The edit of a cat sound effect wasn't great, but this is the most genuine laugh I've heard from this man in years. Was almost nice.

"The Fanbase is fucking exhausting" is the main theme of this video. To be fair, I bet we can all think of times a fanbase did something stupid to something we didn't see as a big deal, so let's hear Jimbo out on this one.

Jim predicts GTA 6 discourse will be worse than the Last Of Us Part II. Bold claim from a man who refused to cover actual controversies around that game, such as the DMCA take-down notifications (Jim seemed to not care that people stating views he didn't like were being abused by corporations. Telling), Neil Drunkmann making a buff women for progressive reasons with there being plenty of reason to suspect that Abby was actually a fetish design for him, the fact the game actively tried to rewrtie history of the previous game because the last game left it up to the player to decide how good or bad Joel was as a person but a story about revenge has to play both angles, so on and so forth. I have a sneaking suspicion that Jim's about to complain about people not liking there being a female protagonist while ignoring the various reasons people have that skepticism in the first place... again.

Jimbo's editor state's during Jim's recap (where he rightfully states this is one of the biggest leaks in gaming history... period) that they won't be using leaked footage for copyright reasons. Absolutely fair, I probably wouldn't either. They use stock footage of some Steam Indie trash from the glory days instead. I'm almost able to convince myself this is going to be good.

Almost

And 10 seconds later, Jim makes a reference to spilling water on his chest to get the attention of men at a bar, complete with that twitter photo we posted here. Man, his "tits" look like he has one of those wholes from lung cancer people get in their necks/chests. Also, what's the value in a poly relationship if you still have to go to the bar? What's the value of being a true and dishonest woman if you have to use tricks to get men to initiate conversation with you? Starting to think the "poly" thing is to justify JIm bouncing between partners, and the "Trans" angle is so Jim no longer feels bad about his inability to start a conversation/relationship (I'm the woman now! It's their job to talk to me!).

Sorry, got off topic again. Back to Jimbo.

During a bit where he repeats the severity of the situation, he sighs about when he used to be relevant to gaming. Maybe it's because you actually did you job back then. Just saying.

Jim makes a solid point about people online being too stupid to understand the difference between a work in development and a finished product. That said, given Jim loves to shit on AAA games, he missed a PERFECT chance here to comment on how games releasing unfinished, broken, or otherwise ugly is so common place that people didn't immediately jump to "this is early footage"

A lot of the rest of this is Jim going on and on about how stupid people are being, although he claims Alien Isolation is the best looking game ever made. Interesting choice there. I think that's his Alien Fanboy (and/or Randy Pitchford hate boner) showing again.

He mentions we live in a time were some people enjoy hating games more than playing them. This is true, Moviebob alone shows that one's rage is addictive. However, he again goes over the Last Of Us Part II. He finds it dumb people were hating on it before it came out, not referencing the fact that the game killed off what many people had as one of their favorite characters (turned out to be true), turned Ellie into a much less complex character (turned out to be true), and had a plot too simple for it's run time (turned out to be true).

But Jim's full transformation into a professional games critic was with the phrase "so-called fans" in regards to the Last Of Us Part II. The idea so many people could be a fan of something, dislike the direction it goes in, voice their displeasure, and then be upset they're called Nazi Klansmen Facists over not loving what was being shown is just unbelievable to him. We need a term for this. Fandom Derangement Syndrome. Can this be a tag in the future?

Anyway, Jim mocks the idea of people not liking SJWs (a term few "Anti-SJWs" still use) and Culture war (kinda fair, kinda ignorant. But this post is too long as it is), but then goes into a fair point about players caring too much about graphics and publishers outright lying about it.

There we go, the female protagonist talk. I'll spare you the Jim Sterling Cherry Picking (he legit thinks being called "woke" is mocking people for having empathy. The fact he says this while being angry and apathetic towards these people because they don't deserve empathy in his eyes is of course lost on him). He claims that Alphabet Soupers like himself are face with governmental oppression because he's never lived at a point were what he's wanted in life was actually illegal. I can't go on this because I'll become too heated about this and it's already deviating away from games to get people to care about what Jim REALLY wants them to be talking about/supporting, so let's just say Jim is not smart enough, tactful enough, or experienced enough to provide commentary on these subjects to anyone beyond those who would already agree with him, making his commentary overall useless.

His final brag is about saying "Bridgette is trans, we got her losers, she ours now and we're not giving her back."

Gest or not, this shows the sad state of the Jimqusition and really just the state of online commentary. Rather than try to change minds, cynicism and ego combine to make commentary that only serves to reaffirm the commentators belief, and is generally useless to anyone who disagrees with them from the outset because understanding and refuting the opposition was never the goal to begin with.
 
Can you look at this and summarize? I too don't wanna watch Sterling's crap.
Here we go. Not a big fan of Dunkey myself. I find him more annoying than funny, but his venture is interesting.
The sagging man boobs in the intro as sad, gross, and sagging. Legit looks like they're melting. If you need proof that a woman's breasts are more than just lumps of fat, this... this shows it more than I wish it did.

I won't like, I skipped the intro on this one. In the few snippets I got between skips, Wrestling crap, laughing, referencing his "husband" hosting a wrestling event, and forced laughter at the camera.

I will give Jimbo this: outrage over Dunkey opening his own indie gaming publisher is stupid. I get having no faith in it. I get not being interested. I get sneering at it because Dunkey's own biases in gaming leaves one asking if he'll just focus on what he wants or if RPG makers will be accepted. But actively mad? That's dumb.

Jim acknowledges that his wrestling career is a risk-heavy money pit. Refers to himself as a bitch.

Honestly, a few minutes in, this isn't too bad. But I'm noticing a lot of My Hero anime pictures. I wonder if Jim or his butt-buddy (Jim will call him his "husband" but only calls Dunkey's wife who he actually married "partner") are fans of it. I find it strange because it would mean Jim just enjoys something and doesn't have to echo it online. Can he even still do that? Even with his Twitter account?

I'll say this: I do feel he missed some of the skepticism towards Dunkey's company - if Dunkey and his wife as the company, will their biases influence what they consider worth publishing? I think it's fair, since Dunkey's made some pretty stupid claims before about games. He's a lot like Critical Drinker in a sense: someone who's popularity is largely stemmed from the failures of he "better men" in their field. But, cynicism isn't clairvoyance. This might work, might not.

Goes on about controversies from other CEOs. This is more tiresome than wrong. I mentioned in the previous recap of a JImquisition that the travesty of Jim is that he's built the Jimquisition for a like-minded audience, but is too alienating in his approach to win over anyone who might disagree with him. Anyone he's talking about probably won't watch his show, so a lot of this is just filler in a show that uses his wrestling pastime (it's not a career) to reach that 14 minute mark. But the idea of "A Million Dunkeys Is Better than another Ubisoft CEO" isn't one I disagree with. It's just clear Jim's hate-boner is thinking for him again.

Jim mentions that it makes little sense to hope for failure beyond being vindictive and gatekeeping. As I just typed, there's the concern over Dunkey's own personal tastes that he's yet to address. It's not that Jim's completely wrong, but it wouldn't be a Jiquisition if Jim didn't fall short of actually understanding who he talks about.

Jim's apparently writing for a video game. That'll be interesting to see if it'll be proper writing or barely-disguised fetish work. I know which I'm hoping for, at least.

Honestly, nothing that big on this one. Jim gets upset people don't like him, assume it's just over trans and has nothing to do with him being a verbal bully in his videos who disrespects people whom he determines aren't worthy of respect.

We greatly appreciate your sacrifice.

We’ll always need at least one person on this thread to actually watch Jim.

So calling it now, next week is him seething about cyberpunk having a resurgence. Makes too much sense especially the fact his cyberpunk video was the one he announced beginning his transition.

Fucking problematic, transphobic anime didn't even include one tranny. Fucking nuke Japan, those slant eyed fucks are oppressing true and honest women like Jim.
