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

[Rustled Jimmies]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Putting on lipstick and women's clothes does not make you a woman lol.

In some cases you don't even need the outfit.

Just call yourself a woman and anyone who calls you otherwise you can accuse of transphobia and let the Twitter lynch mob cancel them

It was back in like 2017 or 2018 where Jim was hospitalized for, well, being fat. When he recovered from whatever fat ailment he had, he started during the wrestling thing and was motivated to start shedding some fat rolls. Fast forward to modern day and he’s as big as ever. Since he obviously eats and lives like a slob, and given that he has humongous tits, it is infinitely easier for him to LARP as a female.

Gaming troons have such shitty taste in fashion. I don’t understand their need for everything to be so gaudy and gothic. I know some egregiously fat troons in real life, and they dress “normally”, or as normal as you can for a troon. Gaming troons like Sterling go out of their way to buy these stupid fucking boots and tops that you should only be able to find seasonally at your local Spirit or Party City.

This, again, isn’t about Jim being non-binary or whatever he calls himself. It’s about milking the remainder of his viewership for what it’s worth. He’s positioned himself as one of the largest (hehe) leftist game journalists out there, and he’s going to do as much pandering as possible to retain his viewership.

He's always dressed like a retarded 14 year old though. The hot topic asthetic is kind of the most consistent part

Also im out of the loop with Jim, is this change due to him being constantly cucked by his wife or something?

This change is due to Jim's poor life choices, his inability to cope with "fame", his dopamine hits on Social Media, and his descent into general mental instability.

Jim is unhappy with his life as it is and instead of being honest with himself(depressed, anxious, self-loathing), seeking therapy, he decides to use the Nuclear Option which his social media platforms tell him is the path to happiness and enlightenment: Lose the caterpillar shell of being a man and become the woman buttefly you always wanted to be.

 

[Ketamine Kat]

On the new Fagquisition, people jerking that lardass with compliments saying how good he looks these people are just utterly devoid of reason or sight at this point.

Looks like a fat retard playing dress-up with mommy's old clothes. His asspatters have a lot of room to cover.

 

[Postal Pippa]

The history of this particular psychology I can explain as an expert armchair psychologist. Counterculture gamers of the 2000s were often engaged in, as you'd suspect, counterculture; not just by pop gamer bullshit like G4, but by being hardcore atheists, anti-George Bush Jr. advocates, pro-Obama pop democrats, nerd and geek school clique adherents, and a bunch of other shit I'm probably missing but aren't entirely the point. The main point is that all of this feeling of power by knowledge and "logic" often leads to a lack of self reflection and awareness just as bad as they'd think "duuurr jocks dumb muscle", and by honest to goodness, the smug and arrogance put off by this was off the charts by these people.

I am old enough to remember when game reviews came in actual magazines that you bought at the Grocery store. Those were the days, the happy age of youth. Then came the dark days, when corporate media turned those reviews into marketing platforms, all online. The magazines vanished and we turned to alternative media like Jim, only to see the creeping corruption as they too became corporate shills or increasingly desperate narcissists willing to put on lipstick and a dress for attention all the while sperging about politics....and not games.

Few now remember what once was, growing ever more lost and forgotten in the mists of time.

I miss those days of games journalism. Sure, a lot of them were barely disguised shills who played a game for an hour then gave it 80%, but there were some great ones around as well. Most importantly, none of them actualy hated their audience or tried to inject their political opinions into everything.

Spoiler: Major Autism Power Leveling, Apologies in advance

So outside of just playing video games, my main magazines were Official Playstation Mag, PSM, and Tips and Tricks mostly. Now I never understood the fact that OPSM and prolly to an extent PSM were on the take. Shit TaT was too prolly but as a kid, I cared more about pictures and cheats in general, and the art in PSM. I never really read the reviews just kinda looked at the scores and over view and that was more then enough and really, even looking back at my old mags now, I never noticed or notice injected politics really. I was pretty basic in my tastes as a kid. Then I got Tech TV and started watching the early episodes of X-Play(San Francisco Era, never saw Extended Play). And I fell in love as a young boy.

Now X-Play when it was on TechTV was cool for me, I got to see actual trailers, gameplay and to a child, some funny jokes and skits I had never seen before or had heard. It was all fresh and fun and generally they gave good scores to all the games I cared about. Going back to the San Fran era now, I realize as an adult how cringy a good chunk of the skits or jokes were, how surface level they dug in on games and how they had some REALLY retarded views on "cliches" or "outdated game types". I attribute this to the entire writing staff at the show. Ive noticed now they are pretty left leaning in certain views they bring up but hey, it was the Bush Era, I can SORT OF get it but even now I dont consider it super hard core. Adam would be a beta pervert about hentai or anime girls, Morgan would bitch about it being a bad portrayal meanwhile touting the Naked Raiden scene from MGS2 to balance it out, give the girls something to look at like the guys. But over all I can watch the episodes all pretty fondly.

Then G4 bought them and G4-TechTV happened, X-Play along with a few other shows all moved down to LA, and this is around where I couldnt watch because while we had TechTV, we didnt have Comcast so I was shit out of luck. The first LA arc, the lounge set now looking back and watching the old episodes is where I start to notice things go down hill. More left leaning jokes, more progressivism, calling Naked Snake Solid Snake in their MGS3 review. And then of course Mexican Stereotypes in gaming where they say how Mexicans and Latinos should be more properly represented in games, ignoring things such as GTA San Andreas's realism of Mexican gangs in the 90s in So Cal, ignoring Mexican archetype heroes that were in Mexican media and again blaming the "obvious" racist cops as a bad influence by making Mexicans sound bad, yeah no shit, hes a racist cop, thats the fucking point, to show hes a racist dick. As someone that has Mexican in his blood to an extent, especially now as an adult I can see the slant. As the seasons went on it leaned more left before they went mostly neutral for the sake of big audience cause G4 wanted to cast the biggest net and make them the center of games journalism on TV. Naturally they became more critical of Japanese games and the way women and stereotypes are portrayed and I eventually tuned out because while yes, their old comedy was kinda cringy, it did push the edge some times and they said some shit they COULDNT get away with now. However by this point the new modern Era of X-Play was sanitized and just boring and as such, I kept the fond memories and moved on, after all youtube was here, the internet was in full swing and Magazines were still being produced on mass.

This is why retards getting happy over G4 "coming back" irks me because they literally want the watered down, left slanted, sell out version of X-Play. They forget that G4 is what ruined the show and of course gave us the garbage TV that was Attack of the Show(Sorry, Screen Savers fan, major bias). I feel that indeed once we hit the late 2000's games journalism was experiencing its death and sell out harder then ever before or at least, the mask was off and it was far more obvious. Its why I really stopped caring about reviews and scores from "journos" or "industry experts". While I dont doubt that there were many who were on the up and up, personally I was burned out at shitty takes and weird injected politics. I would either look for normal folks on youtube talking about it, or just put on my tricorn and head down to the bay to give it a spin myself. And then of course started watching LPs from Best Friends to expand my taste and library some(how I found Sleeping Dogs and fell in love).

I miss the old world, even if they were on the take, even if they were shills sometimes, it felt like it was a lot more lighter cause the stakes werent as high since the industry wasnt AS big. This is why I watch old episodes and have my old magazines. So I dont forget how bad its gotten and think shit like Troon Sterling is ok. Now seeing the guys who are supposed to be on the up and up and who tend to not be on takes shove their own personally shit and agendas in just makes me sad because, theres no professionalism or attempt. Makes me sad but not enough to do shit about it or become a reviewer myself. When the market is so saturated, theres so much money greasing palms, and black listing for those that dont give good scores, its a vipers pit Id rather not even get involved with, even if from a large distance. I dont know who to blame for all this really but man if it doesnt bum me out when I think about it.

Take this video of Jim's back in 2016, the "FINAL FANTASY XV: Beautiful Boy Adventure":
View attachment 1873004

With great lines like:
"All his beautiful friends. His beautiful boys. They're all such handsome, handsome lads."
"It shows what happens when you are near death... and then one of your beautiful friends will help you"
"Here are some beautiful boys setting up a tent and a BBQ"

This video always stuck in my mind, and I feel like I've dated men like Jim before; guys who put zero effort into themselves, ogle and objectify their partners, and when their disgusting behavior is not tolerated immediately try to make you out as the bad one, who is only rejecting them because of their appearance, rather than the reality of their disgusting objectifying mindset.

Im a fan of XV because I was a fan of Versus XIII and when he botched that title I knew he wasnt that invested, hearing how he comments on the brothers makes me realize how shallow his views of it are. Not talking about the bullshit that lead up to it, rushed Dev, Tabata being worked to the fucking bone and them shipping to early, just "beautiful handsome lads" Fucking pathetic.





What also really slays me right, is that he calls it Non Binary Finery but that he has a male first name, female middle, but call himself Fem. And clearly throws on a girls wig, lipstick, wears pink and other "girly" colors and popping female hormones. How can you be neither male nor female yet one, have the genitals of a male, and also, dress in a stereotypically "girly or female" way? I agree that this shit almost sounds like its just for attention. As a male, it fucking disgusts me, as a female, it would prolly infuriate me. It just sounds like he wants to be a special snowflake who is so "not part of the norms" but yet fall into the category of every other faggot that tries to defy the standards. Reminds me of the people that want to stand out from society so hard but the way they do that is to shop at the same non society conforming shops and wear the same styles as all the others that dont want to fit in, meanwhile instead just confirming to a separatist group.

Reminds me of how Big Boss wanted to build an army without a nation, to not be the pawn of any government or be used. Yet instead his army IS the nation and is the pawn of whichever government pays them the most. Hypocritical purple poetry. Big Boss gets a pass tho cause at least hes actually doin real shit.

So stunning....So very brave!
You know....back in the good ol days failed men DID often take hormones and medicine to achieve their natural blocked dreams...but they did testosterone and Dianabol instead...ye they became big dicked and beutiful übermenschen fast with that and a bit o hitting the gym.

Kids today are going to be so god damn fucked up in the head seing and accepting this madness.

But sure...enjoy your "womanhood" Sterling....i am sure life is going to be sooooo much better now that you are a TRUE WOMAN! SHAKE DAT ASS FATTY GIRL!

 

[Rustled Jimmies]

GALAXY BRAINED THEORY:

This is why Sterling was in a "polyamorous relationship" with a girl who certainly didn't look like she was worth sharing. It was an elaborate beard relationship, because Sterling would've rather told people he was dating the same woman as another guy then just admit he was dating the guy.

It would be less gay to admit he was dating a man than marrying his dyke of a wife, just take one look at her

 

[BiggerChungus]

His wife always had a bigger dick than him anyway.

Ultimate game theory: his wife was never real. It was him crossdressing all along and testing the waters.

Nah, he needed to get a residents visa without working for a company so he married his gal pal ham beast who needed someone to help look after her bastard child with her.

Being gay and in games is worth so many good boy points Jim would jump at the chance if it was true. He’s been “joking” about sucking off men since GG to make them less insecure or some shit.

Oh and he’s talking about loosing subs on Twitter, he’s very happy about it and is prepared to lose more since “glad people’s last straw was me being happy”

[Pickle Inspector]

I blame that cunt Kieron Gillen for starting "news games journalism" back in the day, which in turned everyone games reviewer into the cunts we see today.

Also im out of the loop with Jim, is this change due to him being constantly cucked by his wife or something?

That's sad to hear, I used to like his articles in PC Gamer but I hadn't kept up with him on the internet.

I'm betting he's going out with Kim Justice now. For anyone who doesn't know who that is here's something scary:

I think it's a bit unfair to compare Kim to Jim, sure appearance-wise they're both overweight and clearly not the most attractive or feminine looking people around but Kim is one of the better long form YouTube channels and unlike Jim makes their videos about interesting content and facts/history instead of talking about political opinions, hot takes and their identity (Which Kim rarely brings up).

Hopefully it'll have the opposite effect with kids resenting having to put up with such obvious nonsense.

Even "online reviewers" like Doug Walker are cooler than a fat, washed up ex-game journo who chugs estrogen while calling people who like the "wrong" games bootlicking chuds.

A lot of the older internet guys like Doug Walker, the Penny-Arcade guys and Tim Buckley (Ctrl-Alt-Del) seem to have chilled out over the years, got married or even now have kids and generally started living a normal life while others like Jim went off the deep end, I guess you can't keep living a debaucherous lifestyle forever and now they're hitting middle age they're finding that out the hard way.

Might as well rename Kiwi Farms to "The 41% Farms". Also judging from his last video, it looks like Jim was even wearing a fucking bra.

 

[José Mourinho]

We all knew this was coming:
View attachment 1873353
Looking at his socialblade stats he's been bleeding subs pretty consistently even before his "big coming out", but Jim can't miss a chance to whine about it - used to be YouTube conspiring against him now it's everyone's a bigot. His content becoming progressively shittier is of course not an option Stephanie entertains

If the abuse regarding the "big coming out" is drowned out especially for a YouTuber that is getting more notorious over time, it's a sign that not much are even angry about you "coming out" to begin with. Like I said, it feels like a parody or just for a schtick that it even confuses people. Heck, I laugh about the "big coming out" but it's not even close to the worst thing Jim has done, if anything it's probably one of the least worst stuff. As long as you feel happy about "coming out" I don't give a shit, you do you.

Hey, at least feeling happy would make the quality of the content better right since you have a better mood? Sadly no.

They view it as an easy solution that will fix everything, when it's actually the hardest fucking thing you'll ever have to do in your life. Lolcows aren't known for putting effort into anything. This tranny trend is super fucked up, but no one will really listen unless something really bad happens, like the suicide rate goes up to 70%. Joe biden just kicked away the trans ban in the military, so we should be seeing a massive uptick in retards in infantry trying to get out of deployment, followed by a sharp increase in suicide a year or two later.

 

[Ginger Piglet]

He’s been “joking” about sucking off men since GG to make them less insecure or some shit.

No. Please tell me that this is made up. Nobody would advocate that you give out free BJs to own the rightwing gamer chuds. Surely.

I miss those days of games journalism. Sure, a lot of them were barely disguised shills who played a game for an hour then gave it 80%, but there were some great ones around as well. Most importantly, none of them actualy hated their audience or tried to inject their political opinions into everything.

Amiga Power, and later PC Format, were amongst the few gaming rags that weren't basically shills. I had an Atari STE but loads of Amiga games came out on that also so it was much of a muchness really and so I read Amiga Power.

Frankly, I think there is a gap in the market for an editorially independent print magazine which reviews games. Call it "PC Power" if you will - concentrating on PC means not having to shill for Sony or Microsoft - and just review them as to whether they're any good and saying what's good and not so good about them, rather than spending 35 minutes carping on Youtube about capitalism bad and then assigning a score at random.

Might as well rename Kiwi Farms to "The 41% Farms". Also judging from his last video, it looks like Jim was even wearing a fucking bra.

At that volume (does anyone know Jim Fucking Sterling Daughter's actual weight?) he would probably merit one, transgender or no transgender.

EDIT:

I think it's a bit unfair to compare Kim to Jim, sure appearance-wise they're both overweight and clearly not the most attractive or feminine looking people around but Kim is one of the better long form YouTube channels and unlike Jim makes their videos about interesting content and facts/history instead of talking about political opinions, hot takes and their identity (Which Kim rarely brings up).

Kim Justice actually does the research as well. And by this I don't mean she googles a bit. I mean she goes and digs through old magazine and newspaper articles and tries to get to the bottom of things. She is also capable of laughing at herself. She admits to being the worst possible person to do a retrospective on the hype trainwreck of a game that was "Rise of the Robots" due to her speech impediment.

 

[Dr George Whitebread]

Looking through all of these posts, I'm not sure if Jim should be pitied or mocked.

The guy announced he was taking estrogen to spite a video game he didn't even play. He said it was "punk". The dude is treating taking a cocktail of hormones for the one in a billion chance of looking somewhat close to a real life woman as if he's bought a shirt from Hot Topic. He's either so desperate for approval from troons and his social circle he's convinced himself he's some fat genderblob so he can fit in, or he's throwing a Hail Mary grift.

He's treating being trans as if it's being emo. I'm surprised so many troons are so eager to support him, it's so transparent. I'd be pissed he's so transparent about his pretend transgender fantasy.

 

[BiggerChungus]

Its like everyone who has a thread here becomes a troon at some point. It's like some strange existential algorithm to creating a troon.

Every lolcow either seeks attention or validation and trooning gives them both. What they don't realize is it's incredibly fleeting and they're destroying their personal and social lives so they can get a false sense of having it easier by being the other gender and getting meaningless backpats from online people who they'll either never meet or who are as degenerative as they are. The suicide rate is high mainly because they regret the decision, not because they're bullied.

That and most of their friends are friends because of politics, so the second the new troon says anything against their beliefs...

Don't disrespect Jim's wife like that. She somehow gets action from Tyrone down the street.

 

[Discourteous Discourse]

TotalBiscuit had a lot of issues but really doesn't deserve a thread with this shitshow right here

Whenever I think back on TB this post [archive] on Twitlonger comes to mind. The TL;DR version is that white privilege and anything SJWs cry about is retarded nonsense, and their view of the world and it's problems are terribly narrow.

TB died, the degenerates of Twitter celebrated, now Jim has trooned out, and the degenerates once again celebrate. What will they do if he joins the 41%? Continue to screech about his bravery? Demand more "trans rights" aka free drugs and surgeries with zero regulation, and continue to demand the jailing of anyone who uses the wrong pronouns?

There isn't a happy ending for Jim. He's coddling and fostering a community of severely mentally ill aggressive lunatics who change their pronouns on a weekly basis and cry bigotry when someone doesn't want to hop on their girldick. That's on top of a mountain of issues that Jim never got help for (mental health due to his bad childhood, morbid obesity, problems that come with and will arise from morbid obesity, etc.) The Twitter mob's solution to the sadness is to put on a cosplay wig, slap on the ugliest color of lipstick available, and take drugs. Cut your dick off for extra likes and follows! Therapy? No. Therapy is bad unless the therapist is telling you that everything you're doing is right and good.
