I don't have a parasocial relationship with Jim and was at a social gathering tonight, so I'll have to listen tomorrow, but I am to going to miss him. Jim had a great voice for radio, and had he been born earlier, I think he definitely could of been a big name in the old era of spoken entertainment like Opie and Anthony or Howard Stern. He really had a talent for just recapping events in an entertaining way. His produced content was really good, but I think he was even better at off the cuff streaming. I think the stream.me Mornings with Metokur was he peak, preluded by his really good 2016 election streams. He was really great at having a subject, but being able to flow with the chat and really express his enjoyment at following down odd tangents. We got one last glance at that with Jim discovering the slur "Moon Cricket" a couple months back.
Often, I get really engaged with a internet content creator, only for them to sour me over time. Dick Masterson was one of the few people I ever subscribe to Patreon for, I really enjoyed Nick Rekieta pre-weeb wars, and there are older ones at this age I'd probably even consider too cringe to even mention liking. Its to the extent I sometimes wonder if there will be a point I resent Null like I dislike other content creators I loved in the past.
Metokur kept a good presence for a really long time in this medium. I can understand why those that liked his produced scripted work didn't like his off the cuff Streaming content. I can understand why those that still liked him doing streaming stuff didn't hang out through the cancer years and the infrequent recaps.
However, Metokur is going out before I hated him. It might not be at his peak, but he's hanging up his hat before he loses any more stars. Part of me hopes his health will improve, and maybe we'll get the infrequent stream like we had in 2021, but if this is the end, I'm ok with that. I wish him well, I hope he doesn't die in the next few years even if he stays retired.
Jim wasn't my dad, but he very well might of been the last Oldfag that didn't become a total faggot. Good luck you wonderful potatonigger, if one's life is measured in how many people remember you after you are gone, I know I'll be nostalgic for your content for the rest of my life.
