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


Jim is either completely delusional or full of shit. The only noticeable difference between these two pictures is the makeup. If you told me these pictures were taken days apart I wouldn't bat an eye.

And that fucking Dreamworks smirk.
Same energy.

I trawl his twitter with morbid curiosity so you don't have to. He doesn't actually talk about HRT all that much so its hard to safe whether he is on it or not, since I started coming here and keeping up with him I can only think of two times he's openly talked about taking HRT with the first time being back in I think summer when he was down in London visiting his brother and even then only showed a generic pill which really could've been anything, the other time was this tweet fishing for asspats last month.

Edit: I shared the tweet because while this could be a genuine result of 2-ish years of HRT it could also be that he has decent lighting, a better more human looking wig and is wearing make-up. I do think he's on HRT because I don't see a reason why he'd lie but I will admit there really isn't any evidence to prove he is actually taking HRT.
He is faking it, where's the difference?
 
I think he is more of a chaos undivided kind of guy since he embodies the qualities of almost all of the chaos gods to some extent.
His sickly body -> Nurgle
His troonery -> Slaanesh
His desire to be a know it all cunt -> Tzeench
His wrestling -> Khorne
As far as I know, Nurgle and Slaanesh aren't fighting with each other, so he can be champion of these two. After all his desire to know it all is rooted in attention seeking. And wrestling is based on his perverted pleasure to slamdunk on someone. As for Nurgle - general bloating and sloth. But not joy. Now Warhammer offtopic aside, I am moving my prediction to 10 weeks until below 800k
 
I should really bring the Jimless Jimquisition out of retirement, especially since I recovered the old format for it. Anyone got any topics they would like to see covered? Can't be about Jim Sterling, it has to be related to video games.
How about a commentary on what went wrong with Callisto Protocol? Given the director of the game seemed to have a great vision for the visual experience but fell kind of flat in terms of gameplay might be an interesting topic.

I went over some older Jim Sterling stuff and noticed that Jim used to genuinely proclaim when he actually wanted to like a game but was disappointed. Given that he said he loved Dead Space back in the day it could keep in with the spirit of Jimless Jimquisition?
 
More proof we live in the most boring cyberpunk dysptopia. Character Customization options suck, and never look good. And we get hellscapes on tiny screens in our pockets, instead of robot dick rockets.
Jim's world has no place for children. Despite his anti-capitalist posturing, he basically wants life to be a frictionless, consumer driven experience. One where even your own body is a customisable product, mediated for you by corporate power. It makes for a world where everything is basically transactional. Children are far too inconvinent and needy for such a place.

Talk about why adding an easy mode in the traditional sense would be detrimental to Souls games...a good topic, and one Jim still stamps his feet about constantly.

I will never, ever understand the general bitching in the difficulty sector of game talk. Easy, hard, ultra hard or journalist easy, who gives a shit? Difficulty is a choice, the player WILL chose ease if he wants to, it used to be all the player had to do was run the game with ~console = 1 and he could just press ~, type GOD, and play the game without dying, NO ONE ever questioned it or admitted to it but...

...video games have become so autistic it's like 80s schoolyard of "lol you can't even football" when someone just hates sports.

Did I use cheats? Sure, I still do, I love fucking around in video games, apply a cheat and start mayhem for the fuck of it. And sometimes I love running things like Metro at the highest difficulty and playing it Start to Finish with zero cheats, taking fails and trying again, full stealth, zero kills because it's fun.

And that's the ultimate question, is the game FUN? If it's fun because it's hard, GREAT, if it's fun because the story is awesome but gameplay sucks, so you cheat, AWESOME.

When did everything become a ladderboard thing? Just play the game your way and have fun. The bullshit around difficulty is gay AF.

And if you want to question me, question the MP games that let you essentially BUY cheats like % damage increases. SP games, who gives a shit, people somehow care that someone can get Cheat Engine and alter values and it's a huge drama but... game companies let you BUY cheats today and that's never talked about, do I pirate when I give myself 20k in-game currency in something like assassin's creed via Cheat Engine when I can buy it for hard cash from the Ubisoft store?

It's not real, do whatever, enjoy the experience, enjoy the challenge if that's what you like, enjoy the power fantasy if that's what you like, just don't fucking lie about what you're doing.

Sorry for the autistic rambling but the entire topic of video game difficulty is autistic. Full austists can go for leaderboards while I can just fuck the game over and enjoy it at home while messing with noone but my sense of being honorable or fair.
 
It really is one of those things where I disagree with both sides.

A) This game should have an Easy Mode.
- Piss off; you have no "right" to play a game.

B) An Easy Mode would ruin this game.
- Piss off; as long as it's single player, it's none of your business if the first screen has a "Push Button to Win Instantly" control.

C) The game fails to engage in Easy Mode and only babies should find it interesting.
- ...Okay, this one I can respect.
