Cheers! Also good to know I'm in agreement with the resident murderbot :D
Lol really? The skits were straight up the reason i unsubbed. Theyre super obnoxious and i dont even crack a grin at them. Once in a blue moon ill watch a preview video he uploads when it appears on my feed tho
Really disappointed that we're relegating Sterling to an OT, next we'll move the thread to the OT side and it'll be that much less visible.
Hopefully we keep the Jimquisition threads because lord knows we don't need less discussing of Industry BS.
Heck I'll be buying Nintendo's latest all star games that's gonna release soon and I fully expect him to go ham on Nintendo for the stupidity of it all.
I don't even care if I disagree with him or not in that case, wouldn't be the 1st time and it still wouldn't mean that I wouldn't want more exposure for his work.
It actually improved my appreciation of the game even!

I was so mindfucked when I encountered the "Bethesda is Bethetic" theme in a real game.
It actually improved my appreciation of the game even!
I hate youtubers but Jim is one of the good ones. Usually watch his videos when I see a thread on them, I'm glad that now we have an OT for him in addition to the threads when he posts a new video. Which will happen. Good job OP :)
I think that this is a OT for Jim related things while people can still make threads for any of his videos
I sincerely hope this is, we do not need less people talking about how corporations in this industry are fucking people over.
Thanks for the OT, but put me down as another who hope individual threads continue. I would hate to ser all the salty fuckers mad that Jim laid into their personal sacred cow win.
Same here in feeling this thread isn't really necessary, and individual threads should continue. Having an OT allows the whiners to block this one thread and be able to completely avoid any of the multitude of issues Jim discusses. They should be challenged.
Given the staff's responses, the Jimquisitions will still get individual threads. I wasn't keen on this OT in the beginning, but now it's a nice little area to house his smaller content that probably doesn't warrant its own thread. I think this will have the end result of amplifying him even more, because we'll end up talking about stuff that's so small it wouldn't even get a small thread for it. I've come around on the thread.
Ok, i'm all for Jim sterling. But wouldn't this go under the gaming hangout section of the site? Like all other influencer/reviewers?
This isn't just against Sterling. But it's like how kinda funny, game explain, easy allies, etc don't get their own thread here. If they post something regarding a topic it gets posted on a thread that is usually already made (like the Avengers reviews/hype check threads), or it get's put in their |OT|... Or if it genuinely is new content that is outside of their respective opinions it then gets it's own thread. Like if they say something dumb or get a good scoop.
Again, I'm not against Jim and have watched him for the better part of the decade. But I don't think this is the correct space for this type of thread.
Feel free to disagree.

Oh hey, a Jim Sterling thread that isn't a complete shitshow within 10 responses. I love it.
Thank God for Jim Fucking Sterling Son!

I highly recommend btw that anyone who thinks he's too negative try out podquisition. He's much more down to earth and in the moment on it. He does occasionally go hard on something but he also goes hard on things that he loves as well and why he loves them. Plus he's joined by the fantastic Laura K Buzz and Conrad Zimmerman.
Jim's one of the best critics of this industry out there, and he's been on fire lately. Great to see an OT, and I love the thread title.
From what i seen OT are up for some week before they are moved to hangouts
Wait we're still getting separate threads right? Jim's kinda annoying sometimes but I would hate to give in to one user who shit up multiple threads and then started another one to continue their tantrum.
This is a beautiful pic of me.
Ahh, I was unaware. If that's the case and is the norm i'm all for this!
Yeah I've come round too, I posted in early morning and hadn't seen the mod responses. I definitely happier note that has been clarified.
Pokémon Sword and Shield. Gym Leader theme
Jim's pretty good with his music selection
This happens all the time, he was hacked for his review of BOTW.
I really felt like there was a change in how discussions of his jimquisitions went after that review.
I love that song and I can't believe I didn't recognize it!
Which is a damn shame. Because he didn't even give it a "bad" score!
Nintendo Nonsense
Because Nintendo.
You really don't need to go further than that.
Thanks for this. Love this man's content, but i agree that every thread about his videos become a shitshow on this site (probably on every gaming site)
But he makes really good points about the industry

Just finished it. Yeah, as I predicted, mostly speaking about the artificial scarcity.
Shouldn't the thread title be changed to reflect the name of the new video or will that make people mad that shunned us away into a OT?
We've had a good amount of threads with people going back and forth about how shitty manufactured scarcity for a barebones collection of ports is, and I don't think Jim is saying anything really new on top of those existing discussions.
However, it would be funny to see all the corporate apologists pile in to one thread to complain about Jim complaining about things and bend over backwards to defend what is clearly an anti-consumer move so...
this may be an unpopular opinion, but jimquisition really went downhill once Gavin left.Well, since this thread seems to be for all the non-Jimquisition stuff, here's this week's Podquisition:

I mean that's the whole point of making the thread. To point out that yes defending these corporations is wrong. Those are the same people that ruin discourse for most topics
eventually this OT will get moved to a different forum after 30 days and then the corporate apologist get their wish. They don't have to see that their favorite company is wrong.
I still occasionally listen to the beginning of the "Baby Butterbiscuits" episode and get a good laugh out of it.
I had arguments before about how Nintendo being realistic with its shipping estimates was not really them trying to manufacture scarcity for financial reasons more than an unwillingness to overship, devalue their IPs and make sure their B&M partners weren't filling their inventory with unwanted product from them.
And then the morons have to make all my arguments go poof because of course.
i love Nintendo but seriously they're baffingly Nintendo at times.
And yeah if it wasn't Nintendo, there would be blood in the streets for that....then again it's also because unlike the EAs and ATVI of the world they haven't trained people to be suspicious of them at every turn.
Gavin brought some balance as he loved a lot of games Jim and Laura weren't into. With that said Conrad is an awesome addition for me, though in a perfect world Gavin would join the three of them.
