Jimmy on the show was a huge spaz that more then once attacked women, but frankly post tank he seems to be the most normal of the bunch. I'm genuinely surprised by most of the updates about him lol. I guess being locked in a house for a month constantly fucked with really does warp you.
I hate to quote a meme but there was a good phrase I saw recently "I am forged in the iron of necessity" which comes to mind for what I'm about to get into
I only watch Jimmy very rarely because he streams very late at night but I still hear about what he's talked about lately cuz he's one of the few fish who still has a presence anymore. As you know he repeats himself, something he's said repeatedly lately is how he is balancing weaning off his SSRIs and decreasing his nic intake to dip, against the natural stress of starting a new job, his lonely day-to-day life, and the badly concealed
upcoming stressful situation that involves him needing to get ahead of his work at hoarder man's, ask for time off at work, and be able to breathe better by not smoking. That, and apparently Hoarder Man spent the money set aside for his property tax on weed so Jimmy paid it, for some reason, resulting in something that he made sound like a shouting match.
So you have that, and then you have:
- Shinji burning his money on Save the Children, demanding a ton of subs on YouTube, and then deleting all his social media.
- TJ has Taylor, but also buying a $2,000 streaming rig and no desk and playing CK3 everyday without streaming and not going back to work for 6 months like he thinks he's retired.
- Tayleigh had a pretty great shot at appealing to the portion of the fanbase that wants to simp someone who doesn't talk like a baby but the no-gloves attitude of the audience seems to have worn her out so she's back to essentially no income.
- Trish quit her job because she thought she was going to make it as a streamer, didn't, wasted tons of time and money moving out of her parents place to Texas and then moved back to her parents place in California immediately because she couldn't cope.
- Brian is offline which is probably a great thing but it also means he's off the map.
Jimmy left the tank to discover his mill had shut down and got a new job as fast as he could, and has been repeating the refrain lately "I cannot afford to be depressed." So he might talk all retarded and play baby games and he might've barely stopped himself from punching his monitor when he got hit from behind by a Helmasaur in Twilight Princess. But for someone whose parents had a half million dollars to burn trying to make their kid less retarded he's gone through a lot of shit to avoid moving back home when even Brian moved back in for a while after Fishtank and the only "lolcow expenditure" (a la WWE mobile games or Funko pops) I've noticed was charitably wasting money on an old guy who doesn't appreciate it.
All that being said if Jimmy really is on 2.5, not being given an airsoft rifle won't stop him from inevitably trying to punch somebody. It's pathological. He can't even play games for zero stakes without tweaking. Literally the first thing that's going to happen is Jet and Sam will forget what he's like and chase him or trap him when he's separating himself to calm down, and someone will get punched.
