Asking Sterling

As someone who lives near Boston and hasnt been to a wrestling show yet, I am very interested in the answer.

Apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but will we be getting more Boston's Favorite Son?! Absolutely love you, Conrad, and Jonathan together. I've resorted to listening to the Dismal Jesters again.

Hey Steph, been following your work for years. As a socialist by the time I found you, I really loved seeing your steady descent from "this industry is bullshit" into "actually capitalism in general is bullshit." Recently you came out as, let's say, not condemning piracy probably. Conrad, of podquisition fame, is known to be a sexy as fuck socialist that can cook (sign me the fuck up please.) But more on point, he doesn't believe in copyright at all. Can you envision a world in which some system of intellectual property can be beneficial to society generally, or do you think IP will always mainly be just a tool for our capitalist overlords to squeeze yet more wealth out of the lower class. Thanks for all that you do, Steph. -Scott

What do you make of Bobby Kotick announcing a paycut to $62,500 dollars and turning down bonuses while ActiBlizz gets its shit together?

Pete Spicer

Is there any thought of outsourcing some of your video content to other creators/Justin? I know you had an Indie Corner segment with Casey on some videos, and Conrad and Laura have guested in separate videos.

My little brother just had his first shot of testosterone and I have noone else to tell. I'm proud of him! He is my little brother and I love him a lot! Do you have any advice on a gift for his next birthday in like 6 months? I'd give him a "the gays can do whatever they want" shirt but I only got 1 and fuck if I'm sharing

What is your dream pokemon team of 6? Gratz on everything you've been doing!

Pandacidal maniac

I miss the unsettling commercials. Any chance that they come back once in awhile? Also, keep up the good work!

Loot boxes and whatnot have quite a bit of overlap with this; but have you considered covering the plague of gacha games there are now-a-days? They're *everywhere* on mobile these days, and Genshin Impact has put them in a bit of a spotlight. The market seems to be ever growing for the time being and I think more people should be aware of the dangers their manipulative practices...I say as someone who is currently, unfortunately, hooked on some...

CriticaLink

I didn't know You were in Boston. If true I would actually be able to carry Your groceries. If You would grace me with Your drudgery. Any chance of Commander Sterling, MV Young and others doing a show up this way?

phredgsanford

How are you enjoying your move to Boston. On a quick side note a game you reviewed for ico Iron snout is out on the switch.

Do you have a favorite Mick Foley persona?

You've been looking really great recently. I recall you used to have health issues awhile back with your back. Has it gotten better?

Kaos

How do you find the weirder things you play on your YouTube channel like limitless hunger and hentai VS evil?

Jay Ellis-James

Would you be open to the nickname of "Big Mamma Sterling" or something of a similar vain? Also if I am talking about your videos with people are you ok with being referred to as James, or should it always be James Stephanie?

How is your back doing? You've stated in the past that it causing a lot of agony, but that the physical activity of training and wrestling seems to reduced your pain somewhat. Has this positive progress continued?

I love you ❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

I subscribe to YouTube premium and they just sent me an offer for 3 months of Stadia. I thought that platform was discontinued.

Do you have any ideas for different wrestling personas you'd like to try out? wanna' do an interview for a vid I'm working on? =3

This relates to the above question about a "lighter, happier Jimquisition." I would ask a question instead about possibly having a semi regular podcast or video focusing on victories and good stories in the industry - The Jimquisition is the Jimquisition. Not that you are too negative, just that surely there are some good stories that can be highlighted now and then?

Hey JSS! I’ve been a big fan of yours for a while now, your improv is hilarious. Your work exposing the games industries biggest pieces of shit is commendable. But I can’t help but feel after a while it’d take a mental toll on you and perhaps your audience. Boston’s favourite son is one my favourite is podcasts on a long list of pods due to it being you and your friends just having a laugh. Have you considered routinely doing a lighter happy jimquisition every now and then?

Bruce The Genetic Jackhammer Rando

Hi Steph! What’s your opinion of Final Fantasy X? How do you think it stacks up against other JRPG’s? Also, do you know of a Youtuber called Many A True Nerd? He did a video a few years ago highlighting his favourite channels and that’s how I found you 😄 P.S. Thanks for introducing me to lots of awesome people like Casey and Laura ♥️

Spooky_Basil

Would you say that wrestling is now a larger passion for you than video games? Whenever you add in clips of you performing or post about it on Twitter, you seem to be having the time of your life, as opposed to the endless bullshit of the video game industry that pretty much saps the life out of you.

Hey, my fellow weirdos of Twitter are claiming that Queen Elizabeth II is dead. If that turned out to be true, what would you wear if you went to her funeral?

What stats should I invest in for an effective trashgirl build? Asking for a friend.

Namida Aneskans, part of the problem

First time asking a question here (sorry if its been asked before): What do you think about games that are intentionally hostile or obtuse to the player (e.g. Pathologic, NaissanceE, Getting Over It, etc.)?

Something I've always wanted to ask (if it hasn't been answered elsewhere already, my apologies): Do you refund any of the really bad Steam games or do you just write them off as the cost of doing business? Some of the prices for those bad games seem too egregious not to refund, so I was curious. Thank you for being a fine nonbin icon! 💕

is Phee the cutest or the cutestest?

Dear Steph, Long time viewer, first time asker. After you dropped Death and Taxes last year and graced us all with your fabulous self in all your Non-Binary Finery, I remember you letting us all get a peek into the life of Steph like how you were dissolving pills under your tongue and where you shopped for clothing (Torrid Cash for the win), and I wondered if the decision to be as public as your comfortable being about your journey was an easy one to make and was it easier to do it on camera as part of your main channel or did you also want to create a separate channel like Vera Wylde did?

George Michelle Catron

Game accessibility and anti-gatekeeping is a big thing to you. Does that extend to From Soft games, where the difficulty is seemingly intrinsic to the experience?

Ethan

As a fellow enbie, have you found there have been any differences in your personal relationships since coming out as enbie? Do you find your friends or family treat you differently?

Have you ever thought about making either a playlist or maybe even a separate video all about the problems of videogames, and perhaps some solutions, in regards to mental health? I still have to argue that game addiction is a real thing, that a lot of games use manipulation in a way that it is not something you can ignore if you're predisposed to fall for said manipulation and that these things, and other sleazy practices, makes something that for people with mental health challenges can make a hobby, passion and/or the escapism they might need to have a little time away from a reality that's hard to be in, become something that's unhealthy for that person and just exacerbates the problems. I admire the way you're able to put words on these issues, and you've helped me understand my problems better, thank you by the way. So it might be helpful to have as a resource to give to people who would benefit knowing more about these issues. No pressure. Just a thought.

80s TOYS: I have a massive amount of childhood toys I’m trying to rehome. You seem to buy this stuff a lot so do you know a nice reliable place to sell them? Maybe even a good charity that isn’t picky. So many of them want new toys. Do you have a PO box somewhere I could donate cool stuff to you? Anything but Krang. Krang is cool and I’m keeping him.

Kuzco's Poison

Do you have any everyday tips that have really helped with your ADHD management recently? Stuck in limbo here on Terf Island waiting to be considered for a diagnosis, would love to hear some new ideas to try!

Robin Wu

Sorry if this is too personal, but could you describe how you went about being diagnosed with your ADHD and Bipolar disorder after it going undiagnosed for so long? I’m 30, from the UK and honestly think I have similar undiagnosed issues but doctors here never seem to care. I’m diagnosed with depression and anxiety and take meds for this but always felt there was something else and a specific diagnosis would go a long way towards coping with and understanding what makes me tick.

Is being that fabulous as excruciatingly painful as it looks? I couldn't do it.

What would genuinely do with the million dollars that Jeff Bezos totally owes you? (Aside from non-binary finery and a Jim Steph Sterling brand Boglin of course) Also why are you so fabulous and awesome?

Seamanity

ADHD's a bitch. So while I'm waiting on my first shipment of related meds from the VA, how's your treatment going?

Thomas Halpin

Did you ever get the zombies or sex toys from Mantic Games and Pipe Dreams when they sponsored the Dismal Jesters?

Do you specifically prefer to be called "Steph" more than "Jim" now? Your friends call you Steph, but you still have Jim on your video titles so I wasn't sure.

Hello, what wrestler do you think had the best or worst entrance/music?

Engineer

Wrestling: You went from making a one-off joke about a wrestler, to making your own character out of spite, to now where you are a Real Wrestle 'Em Person doing multiple shows per month. When you take a step back and look at the journey as a whole, what do you see?

Lorne Kates was going to change this name for April 1st but clicked SAVE too soon.

If you were given the opportunity to design a hell specifically for unscrupulous AAA gaming executives, how would you utilize live service and other predatory tactics to trap their souls? As a bonus, what would you call hell's pay-to-win currency?

Is there any video game making company at the moment (not talking about single indie developers) that you still can recommend as a source for games or are they all inherently bad and nothing should be bought from them?

Tim Albers

If there were a reality television series (or streaming, Disney + maybe). Set on an island. With twelve contestants. With an elimination episode every week, as well as a sexy uncut up-late sorta ep. But the "elimination" means that the contestant is put down by a vet and their corpse is used as sustenance by the others for the next seven days, til the next elimination-by-vet. And all the contestants are video game related mofo's. WIth the list of contestants being: - Bobby Kotick - Ninja (the streamer, not the Far Cry 3 music South African rap fella) - Uwe Boll - You - Gabe Newell - Chris Pratt but he has to talk like Mario and pretend to be small unless he eats magic mushrooms - Phil Fish - Someone off the street who was talked into this but has never played a video game and is dressed up as Iwata - David Cage - The dog that they motion captured for that Call Of Duty game with a doggo in it - You again but with face tattoo's, one being Rolf Harris with three legs - The cast from Round the Twist but all wrapped up in tape so they're one person 1 - Who would be eliminated and ate'ed each week? 2 - Who would win? I don't know what the prize is...PS5 raffle or some shit. 3 - Who would have the most highlights during the steamy sexy eps? Cheers yo, keep up the rad work <3

How often do the developers of the shitty Steam games you play contact you?

Møthra_666

Hi there how’s it going? I hope you are having a good day 😊 Is there any chance of a uk wrestling tour any time soon? If so what UK promotions would you like to work for? I’d like to see you wrestle live one day but living in the UK means that isn’t quite possible. Also what is your favourite biscuit?

To ask for some positive gaming vibes, what was your favorite game you played in the last months that you didn't make a video about? Can be a new game or an older game of course. Just also want to say, it has been a delight seeing you so happy. Keep up the amazing work and may your reign of terror in pro wrestling continue!

ChristopherMino

Could you describe for us, in juicy detail, what your ideal game would be?

Ailias

Hey there! How do you reconcile/come to terms with playing cheap/predatory mobile games that you know want all your money? I don't have it in me to boycott them on principle. I gave up a few months ago and started spending within a budget (that I failed to uphold this month). With my mental illness, sometimes shit like AFK Arena is all I can do. But... It's like, legit evil? You KNOW how it is. Sending lots of positivity your way. Thank every loving God in every pantheon for you, Stephanie Sterling. Bless you. Your work is invaluable, and you are valid. ~ Adeleine

If you were given charge of your favourite video game franchise what would be the third thing you'd do after unionising the company's employees and putting the franchise into the public domain?

Hawkatana

Bum? If so, why?

E B

Did you watch much of Futurama or The Simpsons? If so, do you have any favorite characters or episodes? If not, what's an animated show that deserves more attention?

The Memory Card

With the video game industry being what it is, are you thinking of exploring other media you can delve into with the Jimquisition format? This might just be a thinly veiled attempt to get you and Conrad to do normal movie podcasts about stuff you enjoy watching 😅

RasendeGurke

Hello! I know it's not video game related, but if you had the chance to have seen it, what were your thoughts on Dune (Part I) that just came out?

Heya Jim, what’re your thoughts on Deltarune chapter 2? I know you’re probably not reviewing it till the full game’s out, but I’d just like to know a brief idea of your reception of it if you happened to play it
