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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Despite coming in with minimal expectations, I'm awestruck by how underwhelming everything is.

This is the 'Willy's Chocolate Experience' of wrestling events.

You put it into words perfectly.

I have to wonder, how much money do they actually make? Because that seems like a pretty small crowd and I doubt they're shilling out much for tickets. And how many people are watching online? I just want to know what makes it worth it? Aside from some retards finally getting to live out their failed dreams.
 
So for anyone who hasn't watched their first match yet, here it is. The match was a hardcore match where Jim and Bandit were using all sorts of weird and wacky weapons, with the most notable being Bandit using a Yugioh card and a barbed wire shark plushie on Jim.

Ultimately Jim won the match by slamming Bandit into the thumb tacks 3 times. Guess we'll see if Jim makes it 2-0 next time.

And it's in a fucking church.
You know when you have one of those head in hands moments and you just have to stop doing anything from sheer overwhelming despair?
Hell on Earth. They are Hell on Earth.
 
I have to wonder, how much money do they actually make?
The events almost always seem to take place in community centres, churches, schools etc i.e. places you can either book for free or who will only charge a very small amount to let you host an event, so their overheads are probably negligible and I doubt most of the performers get paid at all.

Alternative, much funnier theory is that this is what Jim's being putting all his money into and that's why he can't afford to buy a house or retire. Imagine if there'd been a secret Creator Clash tier financial disaster sitting under our noses all this time.
I just want to know what makes it worth it?
The attention. Kidd Bandit seems to have delusions of grandeur and genuinely believes he could go pro someday but I think for people like Jim it's the thing of 'I'd rather do something I love in front of a dozen people than be miserable entertaining millions'.

I could actually respect that if Jim didn't insist on forcing the wrestling crap into his other content.

Damn. You know looking at that turn out maybe creator clash is a successful event afterall. Two rows of the cheapest chairs in the country that everyone has yet no one knows where they came from, yet still can't even fill that. What's going to happen first the sub700k special or a sub 7 viewer wrestling event? Both look about as possible.
 
Jim, the perfect topic for your next video (or likely the one after it) has all but been handed to you on a silver platter. I suggest you don't screw it up
The games industry doesn't want to stop killing online-only games, especially some of Jim's biggest enemies (EA, ActiBlizz, etc.)
I was talking to someone and they pointed out that if TotalBiscuit were alive today, he would (probably) have supported Stop Killing Games.

I wouldn't put it past Jim to side with Mald instead just to be a petty dick. I headed over to his Bluesky to see if he's made even a cursory mention of the petitions, but all I found was Jim patting himself on the back for his own writing:
Jim Date Everything Barry.webp
And whatever the fuck this is:
Jim Shit Nobody Cares About.webp
He also plugged his match with Kidd Bandit, of course, but the most significant consumer-lead push against planned obsolescence in the games industry we've ever seen? Crickets.

I wondered if maybe #StopKillingGames hadn't penetrated the Bluesky echo chamber but it seems the topic is quite active, and SKG has an official account too.

Possibly, but he was making a lot of weird choices near the end, possibly because he could see his inevitable death coming, although he seemed to be under the impression that he was going to beat it.

It's been seven years since he shuffled off. I always forget how young he was because he sounded and looked older than he was. Which helped his 'I'm an authority on games" schtick.

Assuming his brain hadn't gotten completely fried by chemo, I expect TB would have issued his complete support for SKG. On the other hand, I also think he would have caught flak for telling people to temper their expectations as to how much and how quickly a project like that can show results, because a lot of people are hyping themselves up as if it's a sprint, when it's actually an endurance race.

If I remember correctly, in his video about Day 1 Garry's Incident he introduces himself as a "video game critic who wants to protect consumers from terrible purchases", and he used to greatly emphasize the consumer protection part later down the line. Cancer never changed his stance on that.
 
Archive if you care. I don't. They make paper plates less disposable than the Jimquisition these days.
I was annoyed by this video, there is a good idea in there of revisiting an old game you hated with a new perspective but its just his usual "I need to push some slop out of the door" videos. Kind of pathetic he said that slow walk speed in walking sims could be considered an accessibility issue.
 
Don't care didn't watch
He really should start making interesting content again, not because I want him to get better or be interesting or anything but because I fucking woke up thinking it was still monday because my weekly 'today is monday' alarm clock was so fucking quiet and boring I didn't even notice.

Jim is a tranny. "Charlotte" is also a tranny. Lana seems to be a normal woman (who is too good for this and should also retire). The only one I couldn't find out about was "Zizi" - https://truegritwrestling.com/wrestlers/zizi/ - who I'm not 100% sure of in either case, but I said tranny initally but probably a woman after looking at more info.

Just a guess- saw the news in my feed and did a search on KF. Not a thread I follow, just figured this belongs somewhere here.

That's a different person, but they have been mentioned on several of the troon threads here. The story is pretty fucking wild.

Admittedly it would have been funny if the leader of the Cult of Ziz was hiding in plain sight as an amateur wrestler in Yorkshire. Given the turnout at Jim's events he'd probably be safer there than most places.

firstly, apparently ulysses 31 is cartoon slop like he shows clips of, so probably dude got a shirt that looked neat from a goodwill then a steampunk cosplay troon ran up to him saying "OMG WHATS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON". wowee.

jim is starting to get under my friggin skin and i'm a shit writer, but i AM/was back in the day a consoomer of vns. jimbo, 1., adhd is notably overdiagnosed and largely a nothingburger diagnosis to get kids that get bored by shitty or mentally abusive teachers on shit that gives them a actual uh oh burger. i think his version of it was a good bit of time ago now he said something like "ye ive adhd which makes me real VULNERABLE to gacha games". and i don't even want to know what your definition of "memory loss" is because it would really fucking tilt me but since you've already described it as not remembering play by plays from years ago, whoopsie, already tilted. date everything is a shitty meme game with google art copy paste at best, like a new generation hatoful boyfriend except less unique and funny.

now, if you want to say it's a video game, we have a bit less of a problem, because stuff like spec ops the line, to a degree max payne, even stuff like mass effect's existential problems that come up in 2 onward, are all exceptions and not the rule, which thank god because you don't need "i need a cigarette and to look at a noose" more than bing bing wahoo experiences. still though, you can't approach any mental shit half assed and you need to REALLY get some serious shit happening or else you just look like some combination of shit writer or poser, or considering you're explicitly going off your own problems, like you're aggrandizing your own baby problems. so if it's a video game and you kept your mouth shut i'm giving your ass at least a hard 4/10 but most likely lower. probably a 4 though for "well you tried and it's a shit meme game anyway and i'm sure the rest of the troon staff is as bad or worse"

but now, my niggruh jim, if we place date everything as a visual novel? ooooohhhh man. you done fucked up. you fucked up now. you have fucked up. you can not bring this baby shit to a vn. clannad is probably the most household title, and also the easiest to recommend to friends because i think the only ver of it that has any coom content was a region specific ver that was done out of obligation to the publisher and notably shit and nearly everybody prefers it without, anyway the devs have some seriously talented staff, id i remember correctly the lead was a pianist and also had a degree in psychology, so he transferred that into being able to emotionally manipulate the player extra good. i'd like to get into walls of text at how much of a disgrace stuff like date everything is to the medium, but to minimize shitting up, garbage like this cannot be beside your fate, kara no shoujo, cartagra, clannad, little busters, majikoi, toheart, white album, muv luv, etc. in a open market. even some damn good western stuff being made like being a dik(though bAd does have a good amount of goonery along with damn good plot and characters, may be a pro or con to the reader), summer's gone, and even katawa shoujo (though ks is free too lmfao) though katawa had several things that were particularly fuckin retarded to me plot wise, especially in the deaf girls route and her bipolar lesbo mega simp and shit ending and drama.

regardless, jim's a shit CHARACTER writer, though he can be funny and a entertainer on stage when he wants. he blatantly just self inserts. vampire survivors character must be a flamboyant troon because he is. vn character must have adhd and memory loss in particular because he does. you CAN use your traits or experiences, like say when you were little you had issues, were lonely, and treated toys with a degree of sentience like they were your friends. you don't just skinwalk a character with that, but you can transfer those feelings into something like gepetto in pinnochio or a toy story. mold and adapt lived experiences, corrupt them etc. his writing's just as lazy and politically locked as his content.

I resent this characterisation. Ulysees 31 is an animated retelling of the Odyssey with spaceships, made in France in cooperation with a Japanese animation company. It was pretty good. Educational even, given it touched all the major pints of Odysseus's journey. Jim only proclaims to like it because, like a lot of French cooperative animation from the early 80s, it became one of those retro nostalgia-bait things that millennials like to wave at one another, even though they likely never saw it when they were kids because it was made before they were even born.

I'm willing to bet the entire incident never happened. It's possible he was trying to angle into the worn out culture-war trope of "misogynist nerd can't accept the idea of a girl liking their thing" (with him being the nerd girl, because of course), except it fell so flat that he didn't even bother finishing the thought.
