Look on the bright side, at least we'll never know if TB would've trooned as well.

That is very unlikely. TB for all its (many) faults had self-esteem and a drive for self-improvement. Jim never went that far: his debasement in his litle skits and in his "wrestling" gimmick is proof enough.

He got way too puffed up because a long time ago youtube briefly made note of him because someone (might have been the digihom boys, might have been alex mauer, I forget) made a bunch of obviously malicious copyright DMCAs against his channel and YT put him on some sort of special list where they would actually bother to check if it was fair use before nuking. That was maybe the apex of his career and now he doesn't do anything that would be worth taking down.

DigHom and a few other no-name indie devs. He actually managed to milk it perfectly for clout and attention and his last few videos on shitty indie games don't have the old magic. Went to Steam forums for those games to see if Jim still has an army to command but all I found were crickets.
Alex Mauer had some drama with SidAlpha, I think. Not sure if he's still around.

Jim is always trying to force a meme, from Willem Dafoe to Skeletal Warriors, and it never sticks. One of the few that did was #FuckKonami. I think he's banking on #OhUbisoft being the next big thing, but it's not sticking.

His #OhUbisoft went from laughing at bugs in Ubisoft games to actual hate boner for Ubisoft. When he talks about it it's usually angry, bitter and most of all boring.

His largest moment of youtube fame was probably discovering the copyright deadlock, when he realized that getting two competing claims would prevent either claimant from taking the revenue. That got publicized around a bunch of channels around the time who all started using it for a bit.

After reading this entire thread, I have to say the wrong man died of cancer.

Totalbiscuit for all his bullshit and before he dove into the retard ballpit in the last hours of his life was actually really professional about his relationship with his consumers. He makes videos that are informative, people come to his videos to be informed and people stick around because he showcases games in a manner of "even if I don't like it, I can see why people may like it". It's just a shame that the man was a psychological wreck where he couldn't stick with this script but had the compulsion to read and really focus on negative feedback.

Willem dafoe and skeleton warriors Were the subject of memes before Jim and will be after Jim. Dafoe's a great actor with a very unique face, and Everybody fucking loves skeletons. Jim however, is the direct polar opposite of a skeleton. How can we even be sure the guy's got any bones at this point?

Didn't Jim invent the word "Chungus"? I'd hesitate to say he invented the meme because it was someone else who associated it with the picture of a corpulent (and therefore very Jim-like) Bugs Bunny, but still.

Years and years beforehand, as some insult-alike if I remember my old jimquisition right. Nobody gave a fuck about it until it was attached to that meme.

Nobody asked Jim Sterling to film his own documentary about himself, and naturally he took that as a silent urging from fans to film his own documentary abou...

Don't know if this has been shared but 3:02 seems kinda prophetic. Also, it seems to me Jim has always been self absorbed

It's possible, but it sounds like it could be a British thing. There's lots of local slang and insults, and chungus sounds like one of them.

I think he coined the term "asset flip".

I'm not sure if Jim was one of the people who raged at the term "walking simulator" and "ludonarrative dissonance". I think he was, but I don't remember. Those terms have stuck around longer than anything Jim has coined.

Apparently Jim is actually credited with coining the term "chungus".
