Gotta give them credit: they really captured the "leaky condom" and "sex-induced madness" this outfit provides. When you say "gift", is the fact this is a commission to imply a fan paid for this?

What you missed:
A video about the GTA leaks:

And another about that Dunkey thing:

Both of these are quite boring topics to talk about so I'm not going to comment on them and instead focus on the rather vulgar plug for his Patreon. According to Graphtreon Jim has on average been losing $200-300 per month since last August (2021) and this decline has been more consistent than his sub losses and I think does a better job of his ever dwindling relevance online.


ANow this still isn't at a rate where Jim should be worried since he's still raking in several thousand a month even after tax but it does show that his shrinking relevance isn't just on his youtube account and who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and see <$10k on his Patreon by the end of the year to go with the 800k sub special.

No clue. The artist doesn't name anyone, and I didn't see anyone claiming they commissioned it in the replies.
Here's the link, since I neglected to include it before.

It's like how Star Wars kept losing money with the mainline films: it's not that they were going bankrupt, but that the downward trend implies that they'll reach a point where a main source of income won't bring in enough. And in Jimbo's case, it's the main source of income doing this.

They even made him pigeon toed to show what a dainty and innocent little girl the 6'1"+ hulking middle aged ogre is. How precious.

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.

I think the lefty people are a little scared to touch anime stuff.

On one hand, weebs tend to be degenerate in a way that's incompatible with your average liberal elitist. Plus they can excuse hating the Japanese due to imperialism and traditionalism and the fact they're mean to women and all that.

However on the other hand, it's a foreigner's medium. What are you, some kind of nationalist bigot? If something wasn't created in the US obviously it can't be bad, since the US is the worst. If they criticize something and later realize it's excused as a cultural thing, the twitter cancel mobs will eat them alive. If I was in Jim's position I think it would be unwise to touch it.

I'm no economist but my gut tells me this upcoming year is going to be really tough for a lot of these people. If you're struggling economically, the first expense to go is going to be some irrelevant online grifter.

I think that while Patreon-like services will survive as a whole (Patreon itself might not, though. There's been a lot of background issues over there), you'll see a shift to people making online stuff a part time job they do for fun between normal jobs, and have simple $1 tiers for anyone who has the cash to spare. Ironically enough, this might result in better content from some people.

 

[Burt Offerings]

more tiresome than wrong

Your sacrifice is great and will be remembered. This tiny little snippet is probably the purest distillation of my problem with what's left of his video game journalism.

 

[Pickle Inspector]

Maybe it’ll be about how all the characters are archetypes people actually want to see instead of troons and angry women who don’t need no man or they’ll be weird sexual jokes about the guy with large hands or something.

Also I see Jim has done the pretty cliche thing of late of having a normal heterosexual relationship but doubling down on calling himself LGBTQ++ because they both identify as the other gender.

I don‘t know what it is but Jim’s appearance gets more repulsive each video.

I don't know about you, but I don't think that's how PS1 models work.

Spoiler: PS1 Model Examples

*All Images taken from The Models Resource

A lot of the models seen here have a common theme, where body parts or otherwise circular pieces that would look more like said part if they were made with stronger hardware in mind are multiple angles that look like jagged lines come together instead of it curving naturally since the PS1 wasn't powerful enough to render thousands of polygons for every model on-screen.

Compare that to that model of Jim, where the head looks far more circular than every other model seen made as part of the model since, the body has very little of the angular look and is built more naturally like it was on more powerful hardware, the arms are a little harder to tell because of the way they were posed, and the legs have very little in the way of the edges.

 

[Pickle Inspector]

Oh yeah, the other Jim news is he’s writing for popular indie game Vampire Survivors, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt since I’m sure he’s capable of writing lighthearted spooky lore but I have serious doubts he will resist filling the game with politics/gamer-gate style references as well as weird creepy sexual innuendo.

And with him running a wrestling promotion (Spectrum Wrestling) does that make him a money mark*?

(* A random wrestling wiki defines a Money Mark as:
Someone who founds or invests in a wrestling promotion mainly to associate with wrestlers, often willfully or ignorantly disregarding financial risks a profit-focused investor would avoid.)

Yes, it most certainly does.

I like Vampire Survivors - it's a fun blast when you have 30 minutes spare.
It's completely mindless and you control it with one hand since you only control movement and nothing else but it remains pretty fun in short doses.

Why on Earth would such a game require people like Jim writing lore for it? It doesn't need lore - it's just a basic game where the fun is in blasting creatures.
This is like Space Invaders getting a shitload of backstory written about it, or Pong having an in-game novel.

 

[Chilson]

Here we go. Not a big fan of Dunkey myself. I find him more annoying than funny, but his venture is interesting.

Spoiler: The Literal Jimless Jimquisition: Vidya Gae Dunkey

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.

Its just all the online influencers circling the wagons to protect one at the top in order to get in good with his fanbase of rabid reddit tier retards.

I saw a similar dick sucking video from Atrioc (He is the typical Cali liberal streamer, but he has a lot of professional marketing experience and does know his stuff when he is not biased like he is with Dunkey) defending Dunkey's attempt to start a publisher by cherry picking criticisms and ignoring or skipping over valid points that Dunkey has no real experience in the industry or in making games period, has incredibly questionable tastes in video games, and the inherent problem of Dunkey's fame likely getting in the way of marketing the games he publishes rather than helping them stand on their own.

Jim of course makes most of the video about himself and his own personal hatred of big companies. But what can you expect other than blatant narcissism from a mentally ill nose diving in relevance internet tranny.

Modern low-poly models always end up looking like something taken from a PSP or (3)DS game than a PS1 game.

And another about that Dunkey thing:

Honestly, the only reason Jim went after Dunkey in the first place was to get in on the fact that Dunk made Xenoblade Chronicles fans mad because he thought the third installment was not that great of a game. If anything, he’s trying to pivot all of that attention away from him because of it and use Dunk’s new indie game studio as the scapegoat so Jim can make it all about himself.

Probably because Jim is still somewhat of a recognisable name they can attach to it and say "we got someone you might know who write stuff!" even if he might be somewhat unqualified for it.

I'm not sure why people care about Dunkey's video, even as someone who at best infrequently watches his stuff I know that he isn't into JRPGs so unsuprisingly he doesn't like one. You are right that he's just using talking about Dunkey/Bigmode to then talk about himself because the video has about equal runtime of him talking about the two topics.

 

[AsbestosFlaygon]

I fail to see how Dunkey wanting to go into game publishing warrants anything beyond a tweet really. I can sum up my thoughts in that amount of words easily, here-

Not sure if Dunkey has proven he has the chops for running a company, but good on him for trying.

Simple. hardly warrants a video, especially one with a tired fat wannabe wrestler in it.

Vampire Survivors got so big that I think more people know it than know Jim.
