The main thing I wish was different about Jim Sterling is for him to stop affecting his voice so much when reading quotations. Just because someone sounding bratty, even as a joke, doesn't have great earfeel. Other than that the drums he beats may be repetitive but they're always worth beating and he has correct Sonic Forces opinions.

Say what you want about Jim Sterling but this is lit af https://web.archive.org/web/2014122...n-game-culture/ quote:Wundergeek: My biggest question for you is why? What happened that caused you to change your views about sexism in the game industry? What was the turning point? Was there a specific event, or was it a gradual evolution? And what did that feel like for you?

Spark That Bled posted:...you mean the one where people made jokes about me being a terrorist after I said I was half-Arab? Mate, your main negatives about Jim Sterling seem to be based around a review he made of a game you like from almost a decade ago. Take a step back and ask yourself why people think that's more than a little extreme. You don't care for his stuff, that's fine. But there's a line that you're crossing where it comes off as ridiculous. Have you seriously held a grudge against him all this time for not liking Vanquish? Is THAT why these Stirling-related derails exist? Because if it is...please. Let's not do it again.

Vulin posted:: It's clear that Blitzchung got suspended by Blizzard to appease China and make sure that Blizzard keeps access to that market. But this is not just motivated by the "greed" of some high-up executives, it's practically forced legally by the fiduciary duty that those executives have towards their company's shareholders. This isn't true btw. Fiduciary duty does not mean "make the most money, right now and in the shortest possible time frame." Its meaning goes a lot deeper and plugs into a lot of other (mostly ignored) thinking around corporate governance. Anyone telling you that a third party did something for "fiduciary duty" purposes, and that third party isn't a goddamn accountant or money manager, is projecting something questionable.

Of course it's ridiculous that I hate Sterling just because of his Vanquish review, but I knew that if I just mentioned that, you'd do exactly what you've just done right now. It's the whole cult of personality that surrounds a man who always complains about game mechanics that he can't immediately get, always sounding like he's one step away from whining about "bugged mechanics" like he's DarkSyde Phil or something. And that's why I don't like Jim Sterling.

I really don’t want to keep this poo poo going but let’s pretend that your argument about him not liking something is because he’s bad or whatever holds water. Having bad opinions on games doesn’t invalidate his insight into the games industry. If someone writes an expose about Spotify’s horrible business practices I’m not gonna slam the dude because he didn’t like Les Savy Fav’s masterpiece Go Forth back in 2001

Archer666 posted:Honestly at this point people are just becoming desentesized to him, or at lesst I am. Yes, Jim. We get it. Lootboxes are evil, aaa games are evil, capitalism is evil. Fabricated posted:Jim can beat whatever drum he wants because people keep falling for the poo poo he's talking about. I think the problem isn't so much that Jim keeps highlighting the issues with lootboxes and AAA games; the problem moreso is that lately, it's virtually all he talks about. I think this issue came up a few months back, or at I thought it did. It's becoming sort of formulaic. "Hi, I'm Jim 'loving' Sterling 'Son'! I like Willem Defoe. Y'know, <large game publisher> keep pissing me off, because of how much they push <exploitative industry practice>. All because they need to sustain the triple-A industry. <quote from some rear end in a top hat executive read in mocking voice>. Really, it's just shite. Moblins. Thank god for me." [FILL IN AS NECESSARY] Mind you, I'm saying this of the Jimquisition, and not his other videos (which mainly just seem to be one-offs with impression or comments on news stories and developments). It just makes the show feel very one-note, and the videos can seem kind of padded at times.

Time to steer this ship into much more uncontroversial waters with a little recommendation then. I've really been enjoying the new series this year by Matt from the Ten Minute Bible Hour going to different christian denomination, visiting their churches and talking to the priests there. Even as an atheist I found it pretty interesting to gain some insights into this topic. The most recent videos are about his visit to a Lutheran church and includes a two-part interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99fmOmlcF0c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsEw7ECzGlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsY4480JyxI

I understand if everyone wants to just stfu about Spark and/or his weird hateboner for Jim Sterling but I just can't let this goSpark That Bled posted:...you mean the one where people made jokes about me being a terrorist after I said I was half-Arab? fwiw, this is what Spark's talking about, just keep reading the next 4 pages and see how far a hole they ended up digging themsleves into and wasted away whatever valid objections they might have had at first: Spark That Bled posted:Okay, what the gently caress? My dude, if you're going to make bad-faith summaries on why people were mocking you in another thread... maybe at least try talking about a thread that can't be easily Googled even by someone without a SA account.

Same reason they added Darth Vader screaming NO! in return of the Jedi to show he was done with Palpatine, or why they changed obi wan's scary noise to fend off the sand people into a scream like he stepped on a lego.

james Stirling constantly get's game mechanics wrong and complains about them; the only instance of this I can actually point to occurred nine years ago but you KNOW he's been doubling down ever since!! I, however, do not know this, because I haven't watched that filth's videos ever since he slandered my beloved Vanquish. you might say not watching his videos is where I should have left this, but...

Dragonatrix posted:It's law that you're not allowed to rerelease anything Star Wars related without making some minor irrelevant changes. Personally, I’m all for making a minor edit to the two seconds where Greedo gets shot every 20 years or so for the rest of time. In 1,000 years it will be nigh unrecognizable as an aged Harrison Ford wearing aviator gear throws a boomerang at Greedo’s rapidly inflating head, both ejaculating nonsense the entire time. It’ll be like a giant cinematic game of Telephone.

I came here to see if anyone was talking about Contra's stream because I don't watch streams. Does anyone watch streams? When do you sleep? Edit vvv The "copyright? who is she?" Stream happening on YouTube atm. Should have been more specific. I prefer watching things that have been edited and revised rather than someone's off-the-cuff ramblings. don longjohns fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Nov 13, 2019 |
