Do we have any recent photos of his natural hair, sans mask? I remember him posting a progress photo quite a while back and it looked horrendous because of how badly balding he is. I can only imagine with the length of his hair in these photos he must look like the caretaker from Harry Potter at this point.

His recent videos have been him without a wig, though there isn't any recent images without his hat on and there's probably a reason for that.

You'd figure he'd get a hair transplant, atleast to make his actually not so crap lol

His hairline will look something like Kikomi has to work hard for.

Its not just a heart attack he's at risk of, he supposedly does wrestling training a few days a week but what he does in them is largely a mystery and if he isn't doing basic exercises to increase his level of fitness then soon enough his back isn't going to be the only thing he has problems with.

Go on any and every fitness forum and you hear about "skipping leg day" all fucking day long, but what gets most neglected is BACK DAY. There is an old "casually racist" redneck power lifter named Louie Simmons who invented a machine called the Reverse Hyper. If you've never used it, it's amazing. It's like doing Supermans on steroids and it feels fucking great. There was a great Joe Rogan podcast with Louie where he explained how he invented it, his powerlifting career etc. I generally find JRE fitness advice to be a lot of shit, but the reverse hyper is legit stuff. But the JRE vid is gone from YT now because Louise said nigger. You can listen to podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ZGEoZh2eFqbUsyghzm672

Guess I'll be this week's canary...
  • Jim opens the video by oversharing about wearing a bra now, and the accurate size of his tits.
  • Jim indirectly admits to stalking his thread by malding about people criticising his face:neck make-up issues
  • Jim gets sidetracked making puns about his breast size again. Games journalism.
  • At the 4 minute mark we reach the actual topic of the video.
  • Jim dances around the point for 3 minutes with inane rambling before shoehorning in a complaint about transphobia.
  • Jim recounts why Marvel's Avengers was shit (correct opinion) and whinges about microtransactions.
  • Really annoying editing for purposes some mongoloid presumably thought would be funny.
  • Jim wastes several minutes recounting Marvel's Avengers' numerous failings everyone already knows about.
  • I'm running out of ways to say Jim repeats himself.
  • YTP-tier edit of a Tamagotchi ad with DOOM sounds. Your guess is as good as mine.
  • There is still somehow 5 minutes left in the video.
  • It is apparently a revelation to Jim that companies will kill a product/service that is not profitable for them.
  • Jim engages in 3-minutes of Reddit-grade theory-crafting around Square-Enix looking to be acquired by another company.
  • Jim ends the video by once again drawing attention to the size of his moobs. Totally not a fetish.

TL;DR Marvel's Avengers, a shitty live service game is being shut down because it was shit and Square-Enix lost a fuckton of money (11-billion yen) on it.

I've heard similar from people who are on the edge of the hobby about other perpetually angry channels. Some people just want to hear someone say bad things about corporations.

Faggot, no gay ops. Though I don't think anyone has gone.

Don't double post faggot.

Honestly, Jim's best work has always been his written reviews. I remember once upon a time part of the whole going solo thing was so that he would never have to quit writing reviews, how he would have his written reviews no matter what. He actually had a well-defined review scores scale that worked, then he stopped applying review scores for no fucking reason, everybody else was saying to get rid of the score, but he was standing firm that he felt that is for could mean something if it was more than just 5 to 10. He stopped writing reviews instead. Just making his videos, then he stopped making video reviews for the most part.

Now the only video game related thing he consistently does is Jimquistion each week. It was also worth noting that when he still had his review scores, The way he utilized his scale meant that getting a seven or an eight was still a pretty damn good review score. He was giving games that were mediocre fives when everyone else was giving them seven. Well oh well. Generally agreeing with the mediocre score and critique that everybody else was giving them, it was just a difference at where the number started.

I say Jim just doesn't care about video games anymore. He's still seemingly cares about some nerd adjacent things. He's got a thing for old toys, he might have a thing for comics, he has a bit of a thing for wrestling, and an interest in tabletop games, but there's no passion for it.

It is worth pointing at TB here. Total Biscuit was really big into airsoft, shooting at the range, 40k, wrestling, tabletop, and video games. The man had multiple interests, and while his channel was about reviewing video games, he would frequently talk about and just occasionally grab and show off things related to his other hobbies, he was clearly a man who was passionate about his hobbies.

Even though Jim talks about wrestling all the time, I have never got the impression that he is passionate for it. There is no passion for his wrestling career there, there's no passion for his games career. It really does not seem like Jim cares.

TB sold himself as more than just a consumer advocate who got pissed off of corporations, and there was more than one time where on his podcast TB would be shitting on big companies, and he was just as ruthless of it as Jim ever was, the key difference is he didn't toss in a joke about sex or bodily waste. So in many ways they appealed to the same surface level market in gaming. The difference was always the passion behind it.

It has been pointed out multiple times that Jim was in a position to inherit that niche, but he never did. The reason is, at the end of the day, he lacked the passion for his field, and I truly believe most of that passion was locked up into writing of reviews, not in videos.

@Braowbun please try not to double-post in a thread unless you've got something important to say that can't just be edited into your previous post.


I used to be one of those people and I can tell you it's a fucking miserable way to live your life. Years ago I read an article on Cracked, so take this for what it's worth, about how chasing this type of dopamine hit is particularly destructive because it operates like a drug addiction: after a certain point you need harder and more sustained highs to keep getting the seem feeling you used to by just scrolling Twitter for a couple minutes; now you need to spend your whole day arguing on Twitter to get your fill.

I think Jim is definitely one of these people, it's not just an act any more, which explains why he attracts similar perpetually angry people. Misery loves company, after all.

Apologies for that. I'm not great with forum posting. It was by mistake

It was beautiful. And Jim trying to spin it it by saying that the user who is posting the screenshots has a hidden fetish for "trans-girls" was the cherry on top.

He's definitely getting fatter.
Shame considering he started losing weight at one point and I thought he might be on the right track to better health at least.

Its pretty sad, I actually gave Jim some props for visibly losing weight a year ago.

I wonder if he's getting bored of Wrestling and can't even be bothered to put in the modicum of effort into training that was helping lose some weight in the near past?

Now that he has mentioned this thread, he could maybe start addressing his shitty wrestling, oh wait, that would take effort.

Also there is no way he hasn't been told he needs to change something in the way he is in the ring by older guys.
You might not know but the wrestling business isn't kind to older folks who didn't get superstar recognition, and therefore offer seminars to diverse wrestling schools.

Either he has never done any of them, which would equal low level of wrestling mindset; Or he did do them and didn't appreciate the cis white male's opinion and discarded it.

Cause I swear there is no way some old school geezer didn't tell him straight up he was shit, those guys have seen a lot and they are RUTHLESS, nothing to lose.

How I wish I could have ever witnessed that.

Fat trans people do tend to pass better, as being fat basically destroys almost all recognizable secondary sexual characteristics. No one can accuse you of having mannish shoulder to hip ratios if you become a ball, Jim! Good job! And you get to pretend your adipose tissue resembles breasts! Chris-chan is in good company!

Still look like you have a mortician doing your makeup, mate.
