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

I have the opposite problem. People say they want to work on a game, but months later when comes time to deliver the thing they promised, it's nothing but excuses. Sometimes it's genuine, but part of me thinks it's people who expect game development to be fun and then give up when the harsh reality of having to put your nose to the grind stone appears. And I say this as one of the laziest people I know.

Are you paying them?

I'm not at all surprised. There's a huge difference between "I can do it, I'm going to do it" and just up and doing it. I can't get shit done if I talk about doing something for more than a day.

I'd like to see if any of those people you're talking about own any version of RPG Maker, and what they've made with it.

>Expecting Sterling to do ACTUAL research
Jim was, is, and always will be a REACTIONARY "content creator" that does REACTIONARY pieces regarding vidya, pushing a REACTIONARY one-sided narrative that makes his watchers/subscribers become as REACTIONARY as he is. No actual thought or effort required. There were times, as rare as they were (like 4 leaf clover rare) where he would make a video about a topic, stay on point, and have something intelligent to say about it. But even those rare days have disappeared like dust in the wind.

Since changing his format, he has gone rogue by flinging shit at everyone with his opinions that no one fucking asked for, doing "LOLRANDUM" skits and transitions no one finds funny, going on like a broken record about the same handful of topics he's already covered in other videos, and beating the shit out of people with buzzword after buzzword, hoping that you become so braindead that you'll agree with him.

He used to be a lolcow I followed, but this fat fuck has become so insufferable, I gave up months ago.

Shit, you and I could talk for hours about awful Konami shit Jim never even acknowledged, because nobody cares about Bemani games outside of their (extremely autistic) communities. Those don't get clicks, Metal Gear and Silent Hill stuff does.

And yet, #FucKonami was some of Jim's best work.

Are you paying them?

I try. I've been fortunate that the artists refused payment up front, either demanding the money on completion, or a percentage of profits. So I'm not out any money.

This attitude is probably why most of those portfolio pieces I mentioned earlier are so shit from people who apply. They do the fun parts and then drop the project when they hit eight hours of tweaking coyote time to feel 'just right', and now their movement feels shit. Gamedev is dull, dry, boring shit with an occasional sprinkle of fun in there. Unless your sadistic like me and like details oriented, finicky, complex things. Then most of it is enjoyable

I'm not sure if he still has it but he's said before he has chronic back pain that led to a painkiller addiction because he hurt himself cleaning out his fucking garage.

I just want to say here that if your cultivating such a fucking trainwreck of a human body that basic household maintenance is physically debilitating for you, the problem is not the fact that healthcare and homes are not free, the problem is folks like you are occupying both of them. There's going to be a legendary games media lolcow dying out in the future as all these hearts just implode, and no amount of patreon whining will conjure new organs. They'll decry that limited healthcare resources are pay to win, right into their graves.

The Digital Homicide fiasco always looked to me like a non-treversy. A lolsuit by an incompetent no name studio that shits copy paste games for a living.

Anyways, a worker's union nearly always becomes a thing that makes the workplace worse in both corruption and results, and depending on the country you live in you can't refuse to pay protection participation fee. I could understand their existence decades ago when there weren't any workers rights, but right now it's paying a extra for a small group of people who will look first for their and their friends salaries.

I just find it funny this guy contradicts himself so much. Has an issue with Ubisoft's handling of complaints... But wants unions that literally handle it the same way in every fucking industry they exist in. He wants accountablity, but will dodge any question for accountability from himself or his friends that he protects.

Everyone loves accountability until it's time for them to be accountable.

Still waiting on that Chuck Tingle video.

If we were to even get acknowledgement of that, he'd probably say that's way beneath him. And never once mention his connections to it.

I think he mentioned it once on twitter, saying it wasn't a con because he got paid.

But if someone on the other side of the political spectrum did the exact same thing, Jim and co would lose their shit about how much of a scam it is. Gotta lose fat hypocrites.

Over a year later, still no updates. How convenient.

We all know that if he ever grew a pair and went after Zoe he'd be gutted by his own. We know for a fact games journalists have had their jobs threatened just for disagreeing with her publicly.

Except this also fucking ignores that most developers and publishers actually do give expressed licenses to streamers, which in turn allows them to stream the game legally. Now this can always retroactively be revoked, but it absolutely is currently given.

"the idiot" is absolutely correct though, games companies allow them to stream the games, streaming isn't transformative and therefore isn't covered under fair use.

He may be right, but the collective outrage and solidarity if games companies tried to revoke the expressed licenses en masse and basically put an end to streaming, would probably result in more profit losses than anything just letting streaming continue would do.

With that said, though. Some of the DMCA stuff seems really stupid. In game sirens sounding too close to beginning of a song. All while I've seen channels legitmately streaming just 48 hours of slasher films this past weekend on Twitch. And have been streaming TV shows and movies for MONTHS now, untouched.
