To be fair, he let it slip that he had been letting himself go around the IBS era. See the Quartering confrontation with Keemstar.
He was in Gamergate, dude.
That goon dungeon didn't start in a day. It was well underway long before it was a public thing. Look at that anime goon dungeon! That shit had to have been years in the making.
What would you recommend besides Null's MATI streams?
I hope Jim is not dead, My later critical takes of him in this thread aside.
Honestly, I can't find anything anymore that I like to watch, MATI streams are very informative, Especially when Null focuses on the political elements and Payment Processors.
You'd have to be a total weirdo freak to be so obsessed with furries, zoosadists, trannies chopping their cocks off, and other weird Tumblr mental illness freaks he loved to watch all day. I laugh to myself every time someone begs for x video from Jim that he never made.
>expecting lazy Jim to do anything or make a video in 2025.
Cry more, faggots. Daddy went out for a pack of smokes and isn't coming back this time.
If you want someone with all of the charm of early Jersh streams where he's awkward but endearing while covering things in a way friendly to background listening, while having as much fun/laughing as Jim, give this dude a try. I mostly listen to his ancient stuff from time to time, but the archive is moved since YT periodically slaps his shit.
I've been saying for awhile now Jim was probably always like this but kept it hidden to make grifting easier and to maintain his funny based internet man persona on the internet. Now that he's dying / dead / realized the weakness of his flesh and became one with the machine spirit he's been increasingly more open about it.
In a way, you are correct in that I do find myself relistening to his older streams to get a laugh and hear him make fun of some retards, but that's just it. If not for Josh's MATI and this site, Jim was an oasis in the desert out there. I think many don't realize just how bad it is out there, especially for content creation. The overwhelming deluge of mind rotting media on the internet now is so suffocating, you sometimes forget what it used to be like when people gave a shit and dared to be different. Of course that's understood by everyone here, and that doesn't explain away mediocre content, but I find even myself lulling into a doomscrolling hive mindset that I have to force myself to break away from. There's not many people out there like Jim who was not only talented in his writing, but was virtually undefeatable in debate because he was the internet's jester. To lose him would be a massive shame to keeping lolcows in check. Even his most recent streams, which are fairly basic and not as elaborate as his Internet Aristrocrat days or even the Metokur in the Morning days, they're still highly entertaining compared to what's out there. The Ethan Ralph Bowling Tournament stream was loads of fun, as were his Year of the Chud streams. For someone who has been knocking on death's door for half a decade now, I'm glad at least he was able to still talk to his fans and shill his hats if he had to pay medical bills. Far worse things he could've been doing with his time. I just lament what the internet is going to be like without him, he kept a lot of people sane in an insane world, and what are the odds he kicks the bucket right when most major western governments are pushing digital ID and age verification. At least he got out before the web truly became gay and lame.
I have not been listening to Metokur very long, but I've revisted a fair amount of his old work. The stream before the one with Kirsche where he was talking about how optimistic he was for everyone else's future and how the last cool piece of techology he'd see was the Switch 2 was kinda sombering.
I did love that monologue he had during the stream covering the L.A. Riots from June. It felt very self-reflective and a fitting contrast to his older streams like S.H.T.F. and the "At least we're not Europeans." There is a lot to look forward to and thankfully the overton window has shifted so dramatically over the last few years, there is a chance for normalcy and even evolution to occur that is the stuff people dreamed about in the last century. If Jim had vanished after that speech, it would've been a fitting end to his tenure.
All of that sounds like cope, and no walls of text drooling from your mind to your keyboard is gonna fix that.
Bro. Anybody who talks about retards online before the YouTube Lolcow grifters got monetized back in 2022 is a certified weirdo. Its just a question of how weird. Turns out Jim is a gooner cave dungeon dude. I still like his videos but remember he and the Gator Gaymor are more alike than different.
At least his anime goon cave isn't disgusting other than being an anime goon cave. There aren't festering mold covered jizz rags lying around everywhere, no piss jars, things are orderly. He could be a lot worse.
