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

[Oliver Onions]

He should just bite the bullet and stop covering games at all, and be a fulltime breadtube tranny issues channel.
That's clearly what he wants to do.

You're right, but this would also be a terrible idea, because it would become even more rapidly apparent how ill-educated Jim is about everything he whines about.

There are already a million breadtubers parroting the exact same Tumblr manifesto Jim reads from, and since he's too bitter to even be funny anymore he has no USI.

Sad. He was one of the loudest BS caller in the industry.

Well every third video at least. The other two were just him bitching about politics.

The problem is loudly bitching was mostly all he ever did. With rare exception, he never offered practical solutions, insight or alternatives; just pointed at bad thing and said 'bad thing bad,' then blamed it all on Capitalism. I mean, didn't he eventually get an invite to Valve after incessantly bitching about Steam Greenlight for months, but had nothing to offer them because, surprise: Turns out operating a massive digital marketplace is actually kinda complicated.

In my opinion, Jim was at his best in videos like The Perfect Pasta Sauce or The Unholy Trinity Of Blind Greedy Bastards because they weren't just stating the obvious but actually pulled the curtain back and offered a fascinating insight into why the problems everyone is aware exists are the way they are. There was unique information I hadn't heard anywhere else --even if it wasn't Jim's original ideas-- that actually changed my perspective on the games industry and consumerism as a whole.

He looks to be enjoying himself in those, it's fucking weird. Also, he had personality, a smile, a recognizable brand, the intro and outros. It all added up to something more enjoyable to watch, something that claimed and held attention, and maintained a level of polish and production value worthy of attention. It felt well written and rehearsed.

Nothing like his modern stuff at all. He's truly erases all personality from himself, and gone so far as to erase his brand.

Jim, if you're hate reading this thread and decide to do this I'm gonna give you exactly ONE piece of actually useful advice.

Do it on a second channel, if you go full TRA on your main channel no one will watch it and the algorithm will bury you and you'll be dead in the water. Starting over on a second channel from scratch will be a pain in the ass but it is by far the better way to go.

Also use some patreon sheckles to buy a treadmill.

I mean they are essays. Interesting but basic essays. But usually Youtube doesn't even get that far. You will find those are the best youtube videos anyways. Because its got structure and things to chew on. Instead of elaborating on headlines that he usually does.

What kills me about Jim, is the he knew the difference. And yet, he didn't. I think thats where he choked on the "If I don't keep up bitching about this, they win!" Ignoring that one good essay will bring way more attention and though to something than just going bad! bad! bad!

Well, looks like I was premature in saying Jim was righting the ship and returning to formula; didn't even get into the meat of the video because his intro was so fucking obnoxious.

And, just like clockwork: Another 1,000 subs lost. gg no re, Jimothy.

 

[Cyclonus]

How can you see his exact subcount and watch it fall? I feel like gloating.

Thanks muchly.

Jimmy is mad at gamers not caring about his videos, again.

 

[Akashic Retard]

Imagine giving a fuck about loot boxes or microtransactions. Play a different game, dork, there's literally thousands. I play a lot and never really had an issue with them. In fact, I kind of like them because they enable me to enjoy a game like Apex Legends for dozens of hours without ever spending a penny.

Jim, you massive disingenuous faggot, you have bitched DOZENS of times about people complaining you talk about lootboxes and capitalism too much. This is such a naked lie I'm legit MATI.

It doesn't matter if it's lootboxes, crunch, Bobby Kotick or alleged sex pests, people are sick of it because you just keep saying the same, very obvious things about each topic. I promise you, everyone had already made up their mind about the BlizzAcc shit after your first video --just like everyone has made their peace with lootboxes, one way or another, by now-- you are achieving absolutely nothing by constantly harping on the subject.

Whatever happens from this point on will be settled in court, if it even gets that far; you and your dwindling audience of sycophants have literally zero influence on the industry at large so climb down off your cross you self-important prick.

'Smarmy demeanor and questionable sense of style'

I find it quite funny that Jim wrote this criticism of someone else's personality and appearance.

 

[RJ MacReady]

Nobody gives a steaming pile of shit about working conditions in the gaming industry. The Blizzard scandal blew up because everyone already hated Blizzard. If you can't get Western consumers to care about third-world sweatshops or Japanese karoshi (which includes Jap vidya developers) they're not going to give a fuck about some white Californian shitheels being mistreated by other white Californian shitheels.

 

[None Drunk Username]

Jim doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that plenty of people grew tired of his repetitive videos even when it came to microtransactions. Jim people are leaving because your videos suck.

And he doesn’t even really care about any of this shit either. If Blizzard would make another Overwatch character come out as a troon, he’d probably ejaculate inside of his own folds. Also, he spends half of his redundant and retarded videos playing with toys manufactured in said sweatshops.

 

[Muppetstudios]

At this point he's like complaining like someone when you get a new job, there's a person who's worked there 10 years and you point out something they're doing is completely wrong.... "but that's always how we've done it" He just wants to be lazy and keep making videos about the same 3 subjects every week

 

[Oliver Onions]

It's getting worse because he doesn't even want to do that, any more.

That 'Bobby badpants' skit at the start of this video felt so forced, even though it was Jim's usual brand of 'ironically' childish humour; he can't even summon the energy to phone it in now.

I wonder how much longer this can go on; I suspect Jim will break before his audience does.

 

[Wurstbrot]

I bet this get asked a lot but I couldn't find it in the OP.

His he really a Stephanie now or just to mock the attack helicopters? The way it works is: I feel like it, so I am and you can't disprove it unless I slip. This would totally be his style, at least from my perspective, therefore I really have no clue.

I mean it's mocking those people, but he doesn't mean it to be mocking.
