Jim Sterling released a new video talking about the Epic/Apple situation, and while I do agree on the overall sentiment, the first minute of the video ruffled my feathers a bit

 

[Judge Dredd]

That should have been a 3 minute video. The entire message, opinion, and point was said in the first 3 minutes. The rest is just padding of the most cynical kind.

Repeating over and over that these companies make millions of dollars, and therefor shouldn't complain. Because they're rich. They have millions of dollars. I don't have millions of dollars. You don't have millions of dollars. But Epic and Apple are arguing over who gets millions of dollars. You know who else has millions of dollars? Marvel. Sony also has millions of dollars. Yet Marvel and Sony had a lawsuit where millions of dollars were at stake.

Even writing that as a joke makes me feel bad for wasting your time, but Jim pads out the video with 10 minutes of that shit.

I don't know who the fish man that he keeps showing images of, but I'm guessing it's Jim's latest attempt at making a viral meme. Four hindered and twelfth times the charm.

Apparently, he's called Mer-Man, and he's from He-Man. Why him specifically is anyone's guess.

Those figures he shows in his video with the weird out of proportion bodies are from the Masters of the Universe toyline from the 80s.

His commie ramblings have really become pervasive. I think his audience understands that he doesn't like corporations, but he literally spends 10-15 minutes reinstating that in basically every video.

He should really shut the fuck up about that shit anyway. Say what you will about CEOs like Andrew Wilson or Bobby Kotick, I guarantee that they put a multiple of whatever Sterling does in working hours per week, and are under far more stress. All he has to worry about making the same YT video over again for the next week in a row, and complaining about the fact that he baits the algorithm through negativity.

And despite that, his fat ass is making a 6 figure salary on Patreon, merch money from his own website AND YT ad money. For pseudo intellectually whinging about the business mindset behind vidya.

I just realize I typed Escape Artist instead of Escapist, derp. But yeah, generally not a good idea to tell your employer to fuck off, you fat pompous prick.

A reviewer stating his real opinions on a game is not “pompous” and if this is true he was right in telling escapist to go fuck themself

I think it's obvious you've never seen a Jim Sterling "review" then.

 

[whatever I feel like]

I.... think he's wearing lipstick in the most recent video. That with his beard stubble is really offputting.

Main reason why I stopped watching him in the first place.
He criticizes Capitalism more often than actual Communists.

And Jims hard line attitude that any decision made with money in mind is cancer, is anathema to actually succeeding in the industry.

Anathema to succeeding in any industry.
Also, it's rather funny to hear from a guy who is making a year's salary for a common worker in two months that 'money is bad'.
He really ought to buy shares with his $14K a month so he can influence 'Triple A' (said with an annoying nasally tone) decisions.

No, he's always done that. He likes using a still image as a sort of "reaction gif" like you would see on twitter. He does it with that pink thing with the nose as well as the Age of Barbarian face. I've seen him use other he-man characters as well, not just the fish dude. Its sort of his editing trademark. Now he pays someone else to do it, but creatively, he's always done that.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The thing that infuriates me about mostly negative big name game reviewers like Jim is that they will never ever talk about obscure games that are actually good and deserve your money (unlike, for example, Ssseth, Civvie or Mandalore). When it's coupled with anti-capitalism it comes across as extremely hypocritical - "corporations are bad but I'll not play nor recommend a game from a small developer".

LEt's be honest, the only games Jimbo will ever recommend is boring walking sims made by his Hipster buddies.

Pretty much, but those games suck balls and are usually hyped as hell because the whole reviewer community is incestuous.

Money is bad. Unless it's Jimbo's!

I'm honestly not sure it's a thing that happened more than the once I noticed it, but I remember a video of his a while back where one of his editors snuck a plug in for an indie game that sounded interesting that I remember looking into. I think I turned it down because it was an RTS style game and I was completely burnt out on the genre at the time.

And the shrimp (which is comma-shaped) that he uses for a comma-image when he is changing tack on something.

His little image reactions aren't hard to figure out. I think Mer-Man means 'open mouth stare' at some rediculous shit.

He's done this padded out video for a long time now. He used to do ok material but it's all just the same shit over and over again. He's full of shit but his videos beat you over the head with the 'point', and since everyone is a retard now, people need that to get that point.

I don’t know if this is related or has been posted before but he lists They/Them pronouns on his twitter and calls himself “gendertrash”

Just like every other tumblrite, he's only doing that for attention and to seem progressive. Can't cancel Jim Sterling, he's tumblr-gender certified.

He revealed it at the end, it was part of his wrestling get up. He needs to do a better job of whiping it off afterwards (gives away the game of him actually having recorded the end bit first.)
