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

[Bolo]

Despite being Jim Complains about Capitalism and Microtransactions Vid #327 this one is kinda interesting

• opens up with threatening to show his chest and promptly assures that it's only his toy chest that he wants to show, but that Pandora's box is now open
• defends himself against accusations being too repetitive. He argues he's only repetitive bc game discourse is repetitive/cyclic, bringing up game difficulty discourse as an example and chalks it up to game journalists hate. Because why would people dislike a car journalist who can't drive if not for blind hate
• admits he hasn't done anything original
• at 06:56 admits he hates video games and himself for making it his living
• whines about losing couple thousand subs every week (again) and says he'll celebrate below 900000 sub count milestone

All in all this has a doomerish undertones (like saying that none of it matters), plus he's way less "tee-hee I'm wAhMaN", so I'm assuming hormones (like any drugs over time) don't give him the high they used to

Well, at least Sterling is interesting, because it ain't everyday you see a spiral like that.

First, I'm a bit surprised that, for all the clever pants pre-emptive lampshade he does against his critics, he forgot one major point of this whole shpeel:

If the videogames discorse is so repetive, why don't YOU introduce a new topic for people to talk about.

Sterling ain't kotaku, and he is sitting pretty on a big patreon cushion, he doesn't need to chase the trendy topics if he doesn't want to, and there is plenty of things videogame related that can be talked about, You just don't have to talk endlessly about crunch, captalism, reviews or difficulty if you don't want to, but instead, Steling use these discussions as a excuse to stop trying "it ain't my fault that my show is boring you know".

But it isn't like Sterling just stoped trying, his show is downright schizophrenic, he jumps topics and points withou ,much reason or sense, and i get that is the nature of rants, but he has a whole week to gather his thoughts, that is all he does, and this last video, a good chunk of it was incoherent ramble.

Also, Sterling has been hitting hard of his own audience for a while now. Not long ago he stopped short of telling people who buys ubisoft games are the ones to blame for the harrassment that happens in that company, and he continues to drag down his listners over his blatant contempt of having to talk about videogames.

Dressing down an audience can be used for a interesting act, but it needs to be just that, a act, and be performed by someone with a lot of charisma to do it. If it is genuine and comes from malice, then it is just bullying, and no one wants to be around this shit.

Cry all you want about losing subscribes since you started wearing a wig Sterling, as if that is the real issue on why people are leaving you fat ass because of that.

Trooning out is the least of Sterling's problem right now. I don't think he is going to bleed any paypigs anytime soon, but he is heading for a place that the is no return and in the end it will reach Spoonysville, where no one wants to be.

Honestly took longer than expected.

 

[Druveer]

His ass started bleeding one day, and he waited so long to visit a doctor out of embarrassment.

Fucking hell really?

Goddamnit people go to the doctor when shit like this happens. Bleeding from parts of your body you don't generally bleed from isn't a good sign. Pride be damned, the doctor has probably seen much things worse than your chocolate starfish.

I honestly have no idea how much of this is kayfabe and how much of this is Sterling thinking this is kayfabe while being an autist.

thats way to gay even for blobs like jemima, thats clearly a work, what government official would give a shit about some backyard wrestling transfat "company"

Which actually makes it way more cringe.

Also that woman is actually a man. So its a fully trans wrestling organisation.

Odd niche.

TotalBiscuit was a major trans supporter. He kicked somebody out of a convention for making a trans joke once.

He was over compensating because trannies came after him on twitter and he knew the end was coming and didn't want them dancing on his grave for his family to see (which they did anyways). He made fun of the shameless tramps on the left quite a bit

It was because Laura Kate Dale somehow managed to sink it's claws into Totalbiscuit behind the scenes and got assblasted about a bunch of irreverent shit as is its want, such as insisting on the trap question freakout. Most likely did so through Jim Sterling.
For all the good it ever actually did for TB, a surprising amount of his controversies in his last days came from attempts to defend and placate LKD, only for him to get thrown under the bus after he died.

Jim hints he's going to be bitching about his subscribers next week. He's now livestreaming to about 250 people some boring fucking game.

We are in the cope part of cope, seethe, dilate.

Anybody got any of these tweets? This sounds hilarious.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Anybody got any of these tweets? This sounds hilarious.

There was a soundcloud entry where he went on a rant after Dale's second time on Co Op, yelling that he'd be happy to burn everything to the ground.

And he did, by giving it to his wife.

That reminds me I need to unsubscribe from that boring cunt anyways. Haven't a watched a vid of his in years.

But he was streaming re8 and since it's a game that requires basic motor functions to play properly he was very shit at it. Even in new game+ he was struggling with the first fight. So I understand why he only had 250 viewers. He's not good at games and is a boring streamer.

 

[Flip: Draw 2]

This new video just felt really gross. Jim can be on point but this is just seething.

Why are people talking about something everyone has talked about already?
Why have video games not changed?
Why aren't people paying attention to me when I'm saying something important?
Why is the "game journo difficulty" joke still funny?

A lot of it comes to down to one thing Jim never accounts for: entertainment.
Why do people talk about all these old topics? Because it's entertaining.
Why are games the same? Because they're still entertaining.
Why aren't people paying attention to Jim talking about Ubisoft? Because it's not very entertaining.
Why are game journos always treated as the butt of all jokes? Because it's entertaining to watch the obese trans game journo get mad over a joke.

Jim is the antithesis of entertainment now. He doesn't feel like dazzling his audience. He just wants them to sit their ass in the pew, listen to his sermon, and go out and spread the good word of Jim. Why don't people like him constantly bringing up the Ubisoft scandal? Maybe because complaining that it didn't get enough attention is pathetic as fuck to listen to. He doesn't care though, because he's not trying to entertain and that's why no one wants to listen to him talk anymore.
I'm not saying that Jim is just boring (else I wouldn't be here), but I am saying he isn't an entertainer anymore.

 

[The Lawgiver]

Jim outright says at several points in this how much he fucking hates video games yet the viewers, pople who actually are implied to be video game players, are supposed to agree with Jim, who goes and says shit like "none of this matters" while clearly framing shit like it matters and video games must be destroyed to defeat the evil capitalists or whatever the fuck nonsense. This video is literally him jerking himself off for nearly half a fucking hour, rambling like a fucking cartoonish villian trying to demoralize the protagonist before the inevitable bossfight where they proceed to get beat to shit. Thing is though this isn't like a bit he's doing. There is no irony here. This is literally what Jim fucking is now, apparently. He literally says shit like "GAMERS THINK THERE ARE ONLY 2 GENDERS... MALE, AND "POLITICAL"! " Without a hint of fucking joking. in his specific preachy ass tone. It literally feels like something that would show up in a strawman political comic parody of the shit that was going on with games journalists 7 years ago, but it's used as a real fucking attempt at "owning gamers". I can't fucking take this shit anymore, I'm almost fucking dying from the amount of stupid going on here.

 

[Mr Pancakes]

Jim, you're a "gamer", a troon and a spandex loon. This shouldnt be a shock.
Also lol @ facebook for knowing whats up.

 

[Nigella]

On this note, is it true TB Basically tried to kiss PC/Left leaning ass when he was on his way out the door? I remember reading something like this, like he tried to "atone" of his sins of being an edgy gamer or something.

he was definitely more edgy earlier on, but around 2014 he started surrounding himself with the new 'gaming culture' of shitlibs and I think his wife had a big impact on him. So he turned from the snarky edgy guy who took a hammer to games and topics to a sad man who had shitlib limpets as 'friends' who actually just seemed to be there to leach off his clout and shat all over him once he was dead.
He also had to worry about his wife and legacy and didn't want to suicide it and lose everything when he had a responsibility to his wife and child I guess. Sort of makes you put up with a lot.
The trans convention thing, i think TB had the normal british attitude to everything. That is, the worst thing you can be is 'RUDE' and everything sort of stems from this, it doesnt matter the logic of it, if TB was in a different millieu I think he would have different opinions. He wasn't particularly 'political' early on, he got swept up into it with the culture.

"None of this matters"
Person saying none of this matters:

I like how the only thing that hasn't changed about Jim Sterling is
>Gloves
>Tie
>Top hat
The "Jim Sterling Brand".
I bet his channel drops when he fully embraces his "new" side.

Fun fact, Facebook launches targeted ads. Perhaps it thought this was what you needed the most, miss lady-manderpants.

He probably talks about how much his privates smell. They're supposed to be good for that according to their site.

Gross out sex humor is about the only kind of comedy Jim knows how to make so that checks out.

This prompted me to go check out his Twitch, and after I got done laughing at how bad his numbers are I checked out some 'highlights'.

It is shocking how much worse he looks without the JQ lighting. Not that I was buying the 'reel wahmun' schtick before, but here it really is full-force bloke in a bad wig.
