The detailed stats are ugly. This particular chart is telling.
Jim's Audience: "We just want to talk about video games!!"
I wouldn't expect anything major based on youtube alone. When patreon starts bleeding in a significant way, that'll be the time to pay close attention to Jim.
I enjoy how his complaints are valid but he didn't bother to spend the time to rub two braincells together to realize the main issue probably arised from the Game Pass inclusion. Yeah, one of the first games like this to launch that way. They literally have no frame of reference to go from to try to compensate correctly and they aren't going to overinvest in servers.
I don't know if it's just because I can't stand him anymore, but he comes across as such a whiny cunt in this video. Even though his complaints are completely valid and the information he's providing is valuable, he sounds so miserable to be doing this; almost as if he only bought the game because he knows this is the content his subscribers actually want but that he has no interest whatsoever in making anymore.
If you watched this video and nothing from the past few months, would you be able to tell Jim was trans?
He called himself "Steph" at one point. That's pretty much all trans content in this one.
I hope so. Because, at least partially, that's true. Very few people like to support a sexual degenerate. Up until he was "just" bisexual, polyamorous, a cuckold, and simply gross in every way possible, his fans were able to overlook that, since those degeneracies had no visual representation. But now the truth is staring them right in the eyes, all whilst wearing a hilariously bad wig.
I like how that awkwardly proves how little of a life Jim has outside of being trans, a vidya game reviewer, and just a decent person. It also indirectly proves once again he's ether not taking, or abusing his Adderall medication.
I love my PSP. It made a great GBA emulator in middle/high school. Pro tip: If you want to do this, get a PSP-2000 or 2001, as they can be permanently soft-modded to take pirated software, and have better screens then the 3000s, which require the soft mod to be reloaded every time you lose power. The 1000s had half the RAM and suck for the later games. Also, get the biggest card you can get, 32GB, and crank the CPU speed all the way up, you'll still get 6 hours out of the tiny battery.
Pokemon is honestly an example of this same "loot box cash grab" mentality, because as the generations went on the cards became more powerful, rendering the older cards useless in even casual play. When your second evolution cards are 100HP or more behind the newer cards what's the point of collecting them?
He chooses this way because he wants his audience to know that he hates them.
For most, Jim included, I think they're just chasing trends.
He needs to keep Jim Sterling for branding reasons, so he put "Stephanie" in the middle to have his cake and eat it too:
I don't believe it's in his nature to make up his mind about anything, at least not by subjecting his beliefs to long-term scrutiny. Like many of his kind, he is the perpetual, contrarian child that ills our society so. He's only consistent in being inconsistent. I believe that he truly believes in what he's doing right now, but it's just a shallow conviction on his part. He hasn't really thought any of it through, and it's a possibility that he never will, as long as he refuses facing up to hard facts, and recognizing his own stunning lack of integrity. I wonder what it will take for him to realize just how far he's fallen, and to take steps in rectifying it?
There's your answer. He's willing to commit to the act up to the point his bottom line might get impacted... or his cock sliced off. Personally though I'm not sure whether its trolling or (in his mind) a pragmatic move. The tranny card is an adamantium shield against corporate backlash after all.
Fuck yeah, I ended up getting a PSP off of eBay along with the Metal Slug collection they released for super cheap. I ripped the ISO and sold the game cause it's worth about as much as a PSP itself. It's been my main platform for N64 emulation since.
