What went wrong?
STAR_
stopped making fun tf2 vids
tf2 stopped being fun
Did something go wrong? I haven't really been watching too much anymore.
I guess he probably isn't doing TF2 too much these days.
he became a washed up talent less hack and they all loved him for it
He's quit TF2 entirely and it's been over a year since he posted on his main channel.
All he does now is stream ranked Overwatch and get angry, then has his editor throw together stream highlight videos once a week or so for him.
Literally Overwatch
No jerma
I miss jerma and star fucking about. Are they not friends anymore?
What right for Jerma?
Apart from his girlfriend
Valve stopped giving a fuck about TF2 and fans gave up on it, him included.
Their dynamic is still so good on the rare occasion they do stuff together but they almost never do. It's sad.
Jerma is the perfect foil to star's angry gamer schtick, and it turns out Jerma works just fine on his own but star doesn't.
What WENT right, I should say.
Jerma kept breaking promises with star_ when it came to then playing games and dnd together so I guess there's some bitterness
Him and Jerma stopped making fun videos and he became a dull ass streamer. The best parts of his videos was either his commentaries or the relatively sporadic editing which made it a fun quick watch. Jerma is doing perfectly fine as a streamer as he still retains what made him hilarious except this time in the span of 4 hours instead of 14 minutes
Source?
TF2 is a 10 year old game and overwatch exists
>Kim
>right
Place your bets on how long until they break up. They're nothing alike. Kim is a nintenbro hipster who literally named her cat "yung soy."
I don't see them having any chemistry together whatsoever, it's just awkward when she's on stream because she's too edgy compared to Jerma.
Jerma just does things for fun and I love him for it.
Even when he gets mad he's still one moment away from laughter again. No idea how he does it.
That's what I mean. I have no idea how they ended up together when they're such opposites.
It's almost sad to watch because she gives him a ton of shit but he rarely gives it back, which isn't the sign of an equal relationship.
COFFEE
Blame burgah boy and jerma being 30+ years old
>Burgah boy is married
>I can't even get a girl's phone number
If you watch some of star_'s streams he occasionally brings up jerma always being late to something. Jerma was also replaced by poke in their dnd sessions with arcadum and surefore since jerma can't keep his promises apparently.
So was star ever actually GOOD in comp TF2 or was he just a meme youtuber? Like, what was the highest he ever got?
CHEETOS
To be fair, Jerma is 30 and doesn't spend every waking hour playing video games, I'm sure he has a day job, considering he only streams three time a week.
Remember the time star_ left his wife locked outside in the cold dark because he was too invested in playing video games to go open the door?
Dude makes jokes about it but he legit has an addiction, and I'm sure Jerma has no interest in playing Overwatch with him eight hours a day, but that's all he plays.
CHICKEN
>Dude makes jokes about it but he legit has an addiction
He showed his ugly face. When it was just his voice and his footage, I thought he was a respectable, successful man.
jerma is still funny in 2017, ster is not, although ster does have the better grill, kim is shit
out of all the popular tf2 youtubers he was definitely the best, was in plat, i think he he might have played in ESEA open with like tagg, seanbud, and kurt but i'm not sure
>a guy who plays Overwatch all day every day has a cute wife who makes him stuff and cooks for him and puts up with his bullshit
>the same guy who is famous for being a salty tryhard who is nothing but condescending to his fans
IT'S NOT FAIR
>although ster does have the better grill, kim is shit
ster's best streams probably are the ones where ashley participates desu
overwatch
they are still friends but they dont have a common game anymore
Star really only plays Overwatch now and Jerma doesnt play it at all. Between that and having an actual life now, they probably still talk just not as much
Jerma is definitely happier now that he's with kim tho.
It was pretty sad when ster thought he had a glimmer of hope of playing OW with jerma when the custom games where introduced.
this
he's so much more relaxed. I dare say he's more 'himself' now with someone encouraging his natural foulmouth-ness
>ashley isn't around
>it's just him getting pissed in ranked and insulting his fans
>ashley is around
>star actually has someone to call him on his bullshit and make fun of him
>stream becomes enjoyable to watch for once
The guy is a living straight man, he can't survive without a foil.
He played and discussed TF2 for years, got bored of it after it went to shit, then moved to Overwatch.
He use to care a lot about his content quality but now he's just kinda happy with uploading slightly edited stream clips. You can tell by the way he talks now he doesn't give a shit about anything anymore.
Knowing Star_ hates TF2 now makes me a little sad, he was the first Youtuber I ever actively followed, I liked his voice and he played really well.
At least Mr. Paladin has a really nice output when it comes to videos, I try to watch his videos to go to sleep but I always end up getting really into watching him play.
The tribes and tf2 streams are definitely the best content he had since the skyrim permadeath streams
I hope soon, I had to stop watching the stream once it became The Kim Show (also some Jerma). Also Jerma is getting hit by the mindless positivity cancer that cultivates an absolutely awful fanbase. I like that ster calls me a piece of shit and spits in my mouth, keeps me honest.
sad but inevitable. Ster probably is not a fun dude to play with or against. Speaking strictly about 'skill', he spent the other day playing with Ronnie and Arcadum and pretty much dominating every match. That's gotta be demoralizing when Ster singlehandedly kills everyone on the opposite team by himself while you lag behind him with 3000+ people watching you look like shit in comparison.
I'm not surprised in the least that Jerma wanted nothing to do with it
>gets angry
this really annoyed me the few times I watched his stream. he legit flys off the handle when anything goes wrong or if chat asks dumb shit. Why doesn't he just do stuff with Jerma in OW?
For as long as it lasts, once she inevitably breaks his heart he'll get hit by the oneitis.
>He use to care a lot about his content quality
Thing is I think he cares too MUCH about his content quality. He's said a few times he's not happy just pumping out a commentary video anymore.
He wants to do shit like Sweet Genius and Finn, but they take so long to make, and in particular Finn got copyright claimed the second it went up and he made no money from like two weeks of work.
He basically sees his second channel as dumping ground where he doesn't have to try as hard, yet he uses the excuse of "stop complaining that I don't make videos anymore, I still make videos, they're just on my second channel."
If he were legit okay with what his content has become, he'd put it on his main channel, but he knows it sucks because he's not trying in the slightest.
He despises his fans. Yeah, every content creator has dumbass fans. Jerma has plenty of them too, but star spends so much time focusing on how much better he thinks he is than everyone else that it's all he talks about.
He has never, ever seemed glad that people are watching him or that he has a chat to interact with. He's pretentious as fuck just because he's good at two very specific first person shooters.
Pretty sure all he wants to do in life is play ranked Overwatch and Jerma's not interested in playing ranked every day, because he wants to actually be entertaining.
>he spent the entire time bragging about he was the one getting all the kills
>Arcadum got noticeably upset over it when it stopped being funny
>he kept doing it anyway
Does star_ even have friends at this point anymore
He has a wife. Probably all he needs.
He's got his comp Overwatch buddies. Christ, it seems like he straight up ditched his old crowd once he stopped playing TF2.
Now that you mention it he was an asshole to Jerma too but he always brushed it off and I always thought it was in jest, not so sure anymore.
he's friends with Tagg
The last jerma is mad video is definitely bullying
Ster has always been a grumpy bastard, but at least he can handle appointments like a normal human being.
I think Star thinks it's jest but Jerma is literally depressed. Even if Jerma agreed multiple times that it's just ribbing, not once did I believe it. I'm pretty sure it's why it took Jerma so long to stream regularly
Star needs a friend that is just plain better than him that also shits on him constantly so he can see what it's like. Ma3la used to do it but that boy is too busy trying to start a talkshow or some shit
>star with tfw
>he was happy and fun
>star with OW
>he is always mad and trying to be random insted of funny
what went wrong? Was it OW?
>Star needs a friend that is just plain better than him that also shits on him constantly
surefour
Nah star_ actually interacts with his chat a lot. He's answered a lot of my questions and I rarely go on twitch chat.
Jermas chat/interaction feels like daycare at times
watching the stream where star_ watches his old videos made me sad. especially the parts where he talked about jerma
TF3 would have solved everything before it went wrong
>surefour
doesn't play with him enough
that'd work if Ster played with him all the time like he did with Jerma
I know it's the off season but you can still go tryhard in ranked matches, steve
Anyone else found it annoying when Jerma and Star streamed Paladins and Jerma would only usually talk to say "Thanks for the bits/subs"
I get why but its really annoying.
Really? This is news to me. I just came in this thread wondering what star was up to these days. Could you give me an example of how angry he gets? I've never really seen him angry in his TF2 days.
Yeah what a lot of people don't get is that his complaints about that isn't "bragging" or being condescending. I hover just below grandmaster while all my other friends are about 2,000. The fact is that in a somewhat competitive game it's just really hard to have a fun serious game when there's that big of a skill difference between players. It sucks for the person with a lot of experience and it sucks for the person who hasn't played as much.
They usually do DnD on Arcadum's channel on sundays
Wow, this thread is sort of a big goldmine of info for me. I only ever knew STAR from all his TF2 videos, I don't know smack about how he is with other people or with Jerma or his streaming.
This pretty much. I still like them playing together but the constant "thanks for the bits/subs" that jerma does is unbearable for me
Ever since he stopped playing TF2 for good and he got into comp Overwatch he's just turned into an incredibly salty person who bullies his friends.
>he barely watched anything older than like a year
I feel like he's ashamed
It's hard to see in his highlight videos because the editor only cuts in the parts where he's making a joke of it. Just catch a few minutes of his stream once the new ranked season starts in Overwatch, you'll see.
link?
take this thread with a grain of salt. Most of the thread is anecdotal and its better to form your own opinion by actually watching the streams. People rip on Star for being an asshole aLOT. And he is! But alot of those times are him being ironic/memeing as well
I personally don't think Star gets angry as often as people seem to think he does. It's just the Boston in him
>It sucks for the person with a lot of experience and it sucks for the person who hasn't played as much.
This is why I only play D2 with my friends.
youtube.com
It's mostly ironic. He does get pretty annoyed at incompetence on Blizzard's end.
Theres the part where he talks about Jerma. I'm sure the full stream is somewhere.
get off of Sup Forums, Ronnie
Ster has always "buillied" Jerma. It's been a joke since he got on an extra steam account so he could kill Jerma whiles he was making a video. It's not really meanspirited and sometimes it's not funny and comes across as dickish but it's not like Jerma needs a gang of whiteknights to defend him.
to be fair, his chat has made it a game to throw as much money at him as possible. Especially at the start of his stream or during 'hype' moments. He mentioned not too long ago that he was going to try to NOT spend all stream thanking people but it IS kind of hard considering people are throwing literal hundreds of dollars at him per person per stream
But ronnie likes being treated like a bitch by star_
Blizzard wagecuck
Used to watch his TF2 vids until one where he said no one had ever got a kill on him that warranted a taunt, the ego holy shit.
Ronnie's dicksucking is something else. I'd almost feel bad for him if he wasn't always begging for it. I mean, what do you expect from the guy though? Just going from the comic, it's pretty clear that's just him
>star lecturing people about unhealthy behaviors
o i am laffin
Star_ came across as an asshole here but he's not wrong at point out that tf2 went to total shit because of the half assed updates
desu by the time he started playing the game it was already shit
And the community really is a cancerous mole that he just can't seem to get rid of.
Guy shit his pants on stream.
>was in plat
didn't he just get carried most of the time though
which video is this?
to be fair, from the way he describes it, it was just a shart
There were a few moments in my life where I wanted to trust a fart
>Jerma puts up multiple videos a week
>They're always 10/10
How does he do it?
youtube.com
Ster sounds like a baby here, it's just a game. I agree with Valve being incompetent about the updates though.
HolyMackarel edits them ya goof
Yeah, but it's not like he was in a ranked game to get into GM or some shit. He was literally just messing around in quickplay with jerma. There was NO reason for it.
Fuck, even if it was just an honest mistake, he sat there in his own shit for like 10 minutes because he was OBSESSED with winning a quickplay match.
Yeah I know they're stream hightlights but then you look at STAR who does the same thing and his videos fucking suck.
thanks user
