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

There is no feeling like a man or a woman. We have sexual preferences, proclivities to be interested in either things or people, and we experience and handle emotions on different levels. Those things are not constant, and certainly don't define someone.
People just seem to ignore that nature created organisms that either have one or two genders, and the gendered variety each typically has very different characteristics that enabled them to survive in their given environment.

Men evolved to be hunters. Having larger bodies to accommodate more muscle mass, bigger lungs, a larger heart and a variety of other organs that needed to simply be bigger to increase strength and endurance. Men also developed brains that were, flat out, more logic and risk oriented. It was necessary to plan out hunts logically and take risks in order to get food on the table for their mate and children within a tribe.

Women evolved to better care for children. Bodies that maximized child birthing and rearing potential. Their bodies needed to minimize energy use to compensate for the increased energy needs of the males, and frankly women did not need larger bodies because they were not out hunting all day. Women's brains evolved to be more emotionally empathetic and avoid risks, all for the sake of raising a child to adulthood who understand the tribal social hierarchy and received the attention it needed to properly learn from its elders.

We like to think we moved past all this crap, but you can't just force evolution to stop doing its thing. Just because we alter environments to fit our needs, does not mean that evolution stopped affecting humanity as a whole. If women and men are going to change biologically, its going to take thousands of more years AT A MINIMUM.

Just to cut off people who think that I am saying people should be barred from certain jobs/hobbies because of biological sex. I am not saying that, I am saying that women as a whole will vastly prefer certain fields (mostly to do with childcare) while men will vastly prefer work that involves logic and risk. There are exceptions, but they are very rare for a reason.

Women and men are incomprehensibly different and cutting your dick off or sewing a sausage onto your vag while taking extremely dangerous pills won't change that.
 
He did not cover Roblox, instead he covered something everyone else already has. :(
He will never cover games like roblox no matter how big they are because they have micro transactions in it. The same goes for gatcha like Genshin impact regardless of whenever they do something good like improve upon game mechanics he disliked like Zelda’s.

And the sad things is, while Jim has a good point about how many games have lazy devs that charge extra for things that shouldn’t come with extra charge most players don’t care if the game is free or if it has constant updates.

Evolutionary psychology is mostly bullshit. It lacks a lot of the indicia of real science, in that, much like other nonsense like Freudian psychology, it's great at explaining stuff that already happened, but terrible at predicting future events. That said, it's hard to argue against the general concept that things that led to the death of your species in earlier days had no impact on the genes that got spread.

Men tended to hunt, women tended to gather. The earliest societies were based on this division of labor. Some of these early hunter-gatherer societies exist to this day and are among the most stable societies that ever existed. The ones that exist to this day have often existed, in the same form, for tens of thousands of years, even before written language.

If men's brains have one thing over women's, it's chucking objects. That requires a certain amount of physics. Chucking a spear at some animal that knows you want to kill it and is trying to avoid that means you not only have to calculate the physics of the spear you're chucking, you also have to anticipate the reaction of the animal, and where it will be when the spear you chuck actually hits. Get this right, and your tribe feasts. Get it wrong, and you starve, or whatever you're chucking the spear at has it with your shit and kills you.

Women have better vision, and see more colors, as a statistical norm. This is partly because the code for color-sensing cones in the eye is on the X chromosome. And they have two. This is also why males are more likely to be color-blind, as if they get a crappy version of the cone code on their single X chromosome, they don't have another one to compensate. And the (admittedly retarded) evo psych explanation for this is women tended to gather plants and slight differences in color were the differences between nutritious and deadly poison.

Still, don't put too much stock in this because it's crap. It's fun to wank off with this kind of stuff but it really means nothing. That said, there are obviously actual differences between the sexes, a man can't turn into a woman just by saying so, and Jim Sterling is a faggot desperately whoring for attention.

Among the things troons do, discounting evolutionary psychology is almost certainly the least of their offenses, since evolutionary psychology is mostly bullshit that anyone on the Internet can do[*] and requires no expert.

[*]And sort of to prove my point, I just actually did it with this absolutely made-up crap vaguely based on other science, with absolutely no evidence to back it up. I think what I said makes sense, but if you read EP crap from other people, this is the kind of shit they say. It kind of makes sense, but where's your proof?

I get what your saying overall, but I am describing evolutionary biology. Evolutionary psychology is analysis of language, memory and perception and how those developed from our origins. It is obviously tied to evolutionary biology, but looks at the societal consequences of those biological evolutionary traits. Is evolutionary psychology bullshit? Its mostly theory work because we don't know 100% how younger humans lived. We can make quite a few guesses based on artifacts we found, but we will never likely know how early man lived outside of hunting and gathering.

Getting back on point, I am describing how the environment influenced our evolution on a biological level, both in our physical development and brain structures. This is not theory work because we have the skeletal remains of cave dwelling and early civilization male and female humans. The theory as to why we have these certain traits is hunter gather labor divisions and child rearing, but this has a lot more basis in reality since those traits that would benefit hunter gather societies are present in these skeletal remains and still present in modern day men and women.
 
I admit, I'm not very familiar with this Gilson B. Pontes. What else has he done, and has Jim commented on him before?
I dunno if Jim has commented on him before but Gibson B. Pontes is this guy who makes bad games that takes it way too seriously, kinda like the Tommy Wiseau of vidya. He has several games on the playstation store and they all suck. This one Caddicarus video has a bit on him.

Oh he made Life of Tiger, I have been meaning to try that game out but I don't want to spend 10 bucks on it

He didn’t make Life of Black Tiger, that game was made by a different developer. That video is about shit PS4 games in general, not just ones by Gilson B Pontes. You can tell Gilson B Pontes’ games by the fact that literally all of them are trying way too hard to be knockoffs of various Soulsbourne games and failing miserably at it.
 
I was recommended his latest pokemon video. I removed it because my feed looked infected.

I can't even be bothered to link it here, but he's basically bitching about the eggs that totally aren't lootboxes.

I'm subbed to YongYea, so I was already informed of how shitty kotaku botched that. Jim, on the other hand, just kept whining like a broken record about capitalism.

The same kind of capitalism that feeds his gross lifestyle.

As others mentioned, Pontes is an asset flipper who really really liked and "borrowed" the whole "DIRECTED BY HIDEO KOJIMA" title nonsense,
which makes the lackluster quality of his work even funnier than the absurdly bad visuals and barely functional gameplay alone.
On top of that, Sony, in their infinite wisdom, for some reason thought: "Hey, this is exactly what we should feature on our official social media channels!" and uploaded trailers of his work.

And here comes in Jimston who stumbled across this hilarity back before he went (completely) insane.
One may even consider these videos a good example of the later part of the "Jim making fun of shit games" content era.

First encounter with Pontes


His second Game. Arguably this is where GILSON B PONTES became a small meme.

Almost makes ya nostalgic.
 
The alliance of liberals is so baffling to me. Like feminism and trans are principly at odds.

Feminism... at least used to be about... stuff like "women aren't defined by wearing dresses". That stereotypes don't define gender, and just because a girl isn't a stereotype Stacy doesn't mean she's any less of a girl.

But trans dogma is that more or less men are defined as wearing pants and having body hair and women are defined as wearing dresses and liking pink. That genders are DEFINED by stereotypes, and if a girl isn't Barbie then she needs to "educated" into getting her tits chopped off and become a "man".
There are plenty of women that call out trans people and gender ideaology in general. The problem is they can't do that without being labeled as terfs and shouted off twitter.
 
I've never felt like a man, but then I've never felt like a woman either. Really don't know how I could make it any simpler. 🤷
So if you feel like neither why not save yourself and everyone else the trouble and just identify by whatever genitals you have.

Everything beyond that is just personality, it's really not that complicated.

See, the basic argument should be that you don't need to be manly to be a man, and you don't need to be womanly to be a woman. All you need is to have been born a man or a woman, because having a dick and balls, or a vagina and tits, are innate traits. They're part of you no matter what you do with them. What you then do with your life defines whether you're manly or womanly. What troons do is the equivalent of pretendending that just because you had both arms amputated you're not, and have never been, left-handed. Because you chopped your dick off or flayed your arm, you're not a man or a woman anymore.

So we go from a society that had been making great strides towards allowing people to be happy balancing their preferences against their sex (men can like pink, women can like sports), to one that equals your sex to your gender role so a woman who likes and looks good in boyish clothes must be a "closeted" man, and a man who likes cute things must be a "closeted" woman. And, of course, fuck the victims' opinions on the matter: they must conform to the opinion of the herd or be shouted down, belittled or gaslit until they comply. Which is, as with many things with these people, completely hypocritical to their own claims of being "different" and "non-conforming".

In order to make a bunch of coomers happy, we're devolving as a fucking society. Clown World can't end soon enough.

It's the most perversely backword logic imaginable, and I wouldn't even care about a bunch of worthless coomers like Jim ruining their lives and minecrafting if they weren't now making serious strides (with near-full support of government and society in the west) to indoctrinate children into their death cult.

Forget Waco, Jonestown, Heaven's Gate...the Trans Death Cult is going to rack up a bigger bodycount over the next 10-20 years than all of them combined and the most horrifying part is people right now are applauding it, while anyone who has the temerity to ask if we should maybe take just a second to reconsider this course of action (especially if they are someone who has detransitioned) gets their entire life burned to the ground.

I try not to be a nihilist, and I still believe the best revenge is living well, but this shit really burns me out.
 
The only stuff of them I have watched the past year that I have enjoyed a lot have been the Duke Hardcore videos. Everything else is the same anti-lootbox, anti-AAA, anti-EA shit. If maybe Jim put in more effort and research for longer informative videos on the subject matter, it'd be different. Otherwise it's getting boring and frankly they're no different from the Quartering, YongYea, or any other channel that clickbaits for gamer rage views. At least all of those channels have the excuse of needing to upload a quota of 5-10 videos a week. Jim only does one a week now.​
This is utterly incomprehensible. Don't use they to refer to a single person whose gender is known.

I'm probably in the minority here in that I have no problem with actual transgender people who try to blend in with their target genders. 'Non-binary' people on the other hand are clearly nothing more than narcissistic attention whores who have failed so spectacularly at being interesting that they feel they must resort to substituting a fetish for a personality. Mangling the English language is a small price to pay for attention and control.

If Jim Sterling wants to put on a cheap wig and call himself gender fluid, I say more power to him. He's always been a clown. What I find truly offensive is his insistence that everyone else refer to him with the singular they.

Naturally, progressive editors of Jim Sterling's Wikipedia page are creaming their pants at the opportunity to use broken English to describe him. One in particular can't wait to replace instances of Sterling with the new pronouns:

'Yeah. Think the ambiguity that existed at the start of this thread has been resolved. The article is now using they/them and I think that is correct. I think the article overuses "Sterling" in a few places where it seems more natural to use a pronoun. That's not a big deal but it might benefit from a bit of light copyediting.'
 
Apparently that Gilson B. Pontes dev is currently puling a DigiHom and is one DMCA strike away from killing the fat troon's channel. He probably got mad about the latest video and went and struck all of the previous games.

And James Stephanie Sterling is very upset and triggered about it.

I have a feeling that if Gilson does try and sue him, That either possibility of if Jim wins or loses is possible, But He'd not have the same form of luck that was there when Digital Homicide did the suing. but I can easily see the possible ego boost if he does win.

Do we know anything about this Gilson guy? Looking at how "productive" he was with his awful asset flips and how seriously he seems to take himself, he could be a Terry Davis-tier schizo just waiting to be discovered.

It indeed appears to be the case. Rather long patreon post about it, archived for future generations:
