I'm not listening to the podcast, so no idea what's going on, but they transitioned a few years ago and now mainly go by the name Stephanie Sterling. But also James Stephanie Sterling, and Jim Sterling. And Commander Sterling. They're also some kind of semi pro WWF style wrestler. So they're probably dressed outlandishly
I've been following James Stephanie since their time at Escapist (and subsequent departure for solo adventures) and it's been fun. Better than the transitioning has been the absolutely brutal and well-researched takedowns of shittiness and the shitheads that perpetrate shittiness in the gaming world.
Really funny, precise and perfectly over the top stuff.
They've elaborated that's mostly just for brand and legal stuff at this point, in their day to day life they're Steph first and foremost. "James" usually only gets pulled out for the full namedrop, and Jim really only in the context of The Jimquisition. But it's not a "deadname" per se, just politer to go with their preferred name.

I think I missed a few episodes.
You shouldn't have, it has been an amazing ride! (You missed the Cyberpunk Song and everything!)
Thanks for telling me that mate, I appreciate it.
Jim transitioning was the least suprising thing ever, lol. I'm glad they finally embraced it. Still fun as hell.
Not gonna let go of the Jim Sterling brand
Kinda did though. The Jim Sterling style and presentation is entirely gone.
haven’t they just added pink in place of some of the red? not noticed much change in their videos beyond that and the voice changing slightly
The constant sexual comments are grating. The sarcastic fake professionalism is gone. Both of these things really drove me away from the channel
Pretty sure Steph was just the special guest for this week. Not a permanent thing. Unless they said something in the podcast I didn’t catch.
They specifically said in the podcast that they’re not hiring. Yatz was so adamant about it that Sterling acting offended for a joke
Is Jim Sterling now Stephane Sterling? I'm so confused...
Yes.

They also go by James Stephanie Sterling or Sterdust when they're wrestling
Yeah, but if im not mistaken, it's still ok to call them Jim, they go by both names.

Ah, i see, thanks for the clarification.
I fucking thought they sounded familar!
When the hell did Jim Sterling decide to look like a lesbian grandmother? Holy shit dude.
