I don’t even remember the last time Stephanie Sterling did anything like this, so it was just a weird blip. Not that she doesn’t goof a bunch. Still a great channel to stay up to date on the things that actually matter in the games industry instead of the usual hype machine shit. The only thing I don’t care for on the show is the wrestling stuff and when the editor does some schtick.
Do moat people who watch her these days do so because they also watched jimquisition? I always wondered that, because to me it’s the other way around. I always saw his thumbnails but never the video. Now i listen to the podcast and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of podcasters and youtuber said that they will get “hate” for something they put out, and by “hate” they mean some 12 year olds that disagree and beed attention. I kinda accidentally went to her homepage and saw the starfield review and people in the comments were absolutely nasty. While i don’t agree with that at all, i can see gow she’s pushing buttons. Like ahe absolutely hated palworld. She hated it before she even played it, and all i could hear is that she’s such a pokemon fangirl that she couldn’t comprehend that people like that more than ger beloved pokemon and said all that palworld did was made her want to play “insert the worst pokemon game”. Same with helldivers. She wrote a review of the game in the time she was waiting in queue on launch day. She couldn’t play, so there is no review. I think that’s kinda fair in a way, but i’m pretty sure if it wasn’t helldivers 2 but something that she really liked or really wanted to like she would still waiting right now. So i’m not sure if she’s actually farming hate for engagement or what the deal is.

That’s always been her shtick though, to hate on things. Go on long rants.
