16 minutes just to tell us about your gay love triangle with Soup and Settled

TLDR; J1mmy was deemed a threat and told he could not participate in GG s4 because it'd be too easy for him

'why is he even there?' Man, my two most favourite moments from last season of GG are Jimmy fighting Skill Specs in CW and Jimmy dying to a wildy boss and saying 'yeah, three is good enough'. I always burst out laughing at those moments. Thank you for those moments Jimmy!

Great video, J1m. I also want to add that even as a "good player" who's not nearly as entertaining as people like you or Skill Specs, I'm still doing things like scheming, forming alliances, talking shit, and constantly recording commentary during challenges. GG only works because the content creators Soup invites understand what he's going for and do their best to contribute in their own way in and out of the actual challenges. That's a big part of why it's not done with 20 random OSRS players or top PvMers.

TLDR: J1mmy was just too funny, handsome, charismatic, humble, among many other things to continue to carry GG on his own.

My favorite part of GG was by far you and Settled during the GP farming challenge with the gout tubers. "J1mmy Kiss Me Right Now"

In my free time I actually watch paint dry. So sorry to hear about your health issues and hope the move went well ❤

I feel like anyone who doesn't recognize that the Gielinor Games is clearly trying to emulate Game/ Panel / Reality TV shows is missing the point entirely. Those TV shows are almost NEVER about skill, in fact they go out of their way to get people who aren't necessarily skilled in all of the fields they cover for entertainment. That's the point. It's always entertainment first, skill is a bonus (Like you said).

my dad had chronic diverticulitis, shit is no joke. his attacks came in a cluster over a period of like 2-3 years, then he went like 10-15 years before having another. never had to have the surgery thankfully. i hope yours follows a similar trajectory and that it doesn't consume too much of your life, get well soon j1m!

Entertainment > skill. Case in point, solomission. Amazing pvmer, but an even better snake. People remember his backstabs a lot more than the ticks he saved or whatever.

40-50 hours of filming actually sounds right **for Soup,** as he has to do a lot of additional filming with "doubles" and stuff.

paragielinor games instead?

Those people are the overwhelming minority, Jim. You brought something special to GG and I miss you every episode. Entertainment trumps all. Every GG I am rooting for you and Settled. My fav moments are when you two get to team up.

I enjoy the straight to camera chats. You got a natural charisma that makes you a fun, lower energy talker. I'm down for more like this in the future. Also best of luck with that diverticulitis man. You're out there fucking that shit that took Brock Lesnar out of MMA and has kept Kenny Omega out of the Pro Wrestling scene for over a year now, yet you're still here, so it's clear you're a tough dude. Keep hanging in there and best of luck with the surgery if you ever decide to go through with it. It's scary shit but it's nothing you can't handle man.

For me it's players like J1mmy, Skill specs etc that make the series more enjoyable and relatable. Especially as they've got great humour and character and charm.

Congratz on the house J1mbo! As someone who also suffers from stomach issues (mercifully not to the same degree as you) I get the constant worry about not wanting to interrupt or delay things as a result of being sick. Sucks that you aren't in GG but I'm excited for the secret project

J1mmy really sat down and told everyone how much charisma he has and that it's charisma and NOT SKILL that matters in GG. He's right you know. Not to shit on Woox, I love Woox, but imagine him in GG? The man barely talks. At the end of the day, its a SHOW game and not a game show. Thanks for attending my ted talk. o7

I would honestly fucking love to see yoir 'B roll' footage from your other seasons. Genuinely you and settled panhandling during one of the challenges was the funniest thing ever. Seeing all of that compiled and edited under the title "Gilenor Lames" or something would be fucking peak.

Amazing we're 4 seasons in and some people still seem to think GG is a full-on competitive e-sport rather than an entertainment show. I guess these are the same people who take wrestling matches seriously. Soup knows what he is doing with the invites, loads of the best GG moments have been from people who might not be "top tier" in terms of game skill.

Talking about "The best of the best" - I always watch GG with my girlfriend, and you as a funny person, whether good or bad, have consistently been one of her favorites. She doesn't understand the game very well, so it has never been about performance for our viewing experience. Seeing you not being present this time was very sad

hey jimbo, i had my entire colon removed at 26. it just straight up died inside of me. it definitely feels very strange to have such an old man illness at such a young age. and the whole ordeal was pretty ass, but everything got better in the end. not having some of/any of your colon really isn't too bad. it's a lot at first, but you get use to it. sometimes it's even kind of convenient! hope you get it all sorted out soon, love the vids

Love your "not react" and video essay content! Your style really hits the mark. Hope to see more of it

Congrats on the house!

Much love Jim, taking the time to focus on yourself isn't ever a bad play. I wondered why you weren't there at first but knew it was for a good reason. Happy to hear that you're doing well and excited to see what's to come brother!

Dude, I just got diagnosed with Diverticulosis 2 weeks ago. Holy shit it’s so depressing being 26, and getting a disease that most people don’t even hear about until they’re 40. I really really feel you dude. It’s nice to see some representation through another young dude getting the same dogshit hand dealt to them. I was writing some joke comment about “wow j1mmy got caught cheating finally” and you named that horrendous condition. Immediately deleted my crappy joke, because this fucking condition sucks ass. I hope I can avoid the surgery, selfishly, I hope you put some update out with how it turns out. It’s a pain now that I eat rice, I get literal pain as a result..

I actually just watched GG for the first time last year, and you were who i was rooting for simply because you entertain me the most. Your videos with framed, settled, and the other guys bring me a lot of joy. It's never about straight talent, it makes for good entertainment seeing everyone just having a good time regardless of skill or knowledge of the game. It makes for good underdog stories, upsets, etc. Thanks jim for your content.

Always love your content man! I hope the health issues get figured sooner than later, congratulations on the new house! That’s Huge! Thank you for the great in-depth explanation of how Gilenor Games works 🤘

A few things: -Chronic illness fucking sucks, I know how much it can be a drain on you, learning how to live your new life and dealing with the feelings of grief those changes can bring. I am hopeful your support system is always there for you, and that your journey is as smooth as it can be. Much love

Would love more videos like this and some behind the scenes stuff from earlier seasons! Best of luck to you in your new house and with your health!!

Man the contribution you put forward in the first 3 seasons added so much to the overall enjoyment. Happy to hear there is nothing deeper happening behind the scenes, hope you take good care and enjoy the new place!

I was quite sad not to see you in this years line up, thanks for putting out this vid!

Probably one of my favorite moments from Glienor games of all time was when you and settled went to go get a gout tuber. And you mad lads actually got it. Didn't win the challenge, but that moment was just so exciting.

As someone with a very similar issue in Crohns disease who faces the though of one day having part of my small intestines removed I know the unparalleled anxiety that causes. Hope your treatment goes well and theres no need for surgery!

I’m sorry you’re going through this bro, I hope you recover and get to a healthy state, love you bro do your thing at your pace

As a fellow Gastroenterological warrior since childhood I know much it sucks to have an "invisible" disability that takes so much out of you. Good on you for putting your health before the FOMO and gz on the mortgage brother 🤘

Didn't know about your health issues Jim. Sending all the love and support brother. I hope things get better and you can make a full recovery or at least find yourself in a place where it's not a constant concern.

I enjoyed the talking strum, as a person dealing with a compromised immune system myself and a caretaker for a family member, man I totally get it. I dropped nearly all my old friend groups' schedules because I always felt guilty with the rescheduling. Wishing you the best and love your content man. Take care.

I'm so glad to see a more chill perspective like this because some of those comments really were ruthless. Looking forward to what you do next! ♥

I personally love how you structure your talks and the variety of topics you cover. I wouldn't like it if everything was super topical, but those videos absolutely have their place. Really sucks to hear about the diagnosis and I hope everything surrounding it goes well. Much love to you J1mmy.

Ill always have mad respect for the honesty and authenticity that comes through in your videos. Personally I LOVE the embrace of video-essay style content. Parasocial relationships are incredibly strange, and we appreciate your ability to bridge the gap in a way that always feels funny, and authentic. Thank you J1mmy

J1mmy, you may not be the most competitive but I loved every second of you on GG. Not to mention you have some of the best npc game knowledge out of anyone, and you helped Settled and Framed tie for first in the trivia section of the season 3 finale with your hit series, By Release! All this to say, I'm sad to see you absent from the newest season but I understand that life kinda takes precedent. Hope you stay as healthy as can be, we love you Jimmy!

Settled + J1mmy are an iconic duo. Sorely missed this season. Hope you’re in better health for the next one Jimmy!!

Get well soon Jim, hope to see you for season 5! You are by far a top tier cast member!

Big fan of seeing you in these big events. I hope you take good care of your health and that the move goes well. :) we are rooting for you

Loved watching yourself Tanzoo and Virtoso on previous seasons. Hopefullly see ya back on in the future and wishing you the best with your recovery man

Love you Jimmy, hope you know a lot of us missed your unique game knowledge from your by release series and thought you and settled was some of the best content of the previous GG seasons. Also wishing you well with your health issues!

If game talent was the main priority, Skill Specs wouldn't have been there either. Without him from now on, this season won't be as fun though.

I just found your channel and could watch you talk for hours! Idk why, but you got an entertaining catch and great personality. All the best for you and your health mate

love all the different kinds of vids you put out. ill keep watching.

I love how affectionately Jim shits on Soup. It's like that kid hitting his crush with kickballs until she likes him back.

Absolute legend! Was sad to see you werent in this season and now even sadder to know why :( get better soon man xxx

Thanks for letting us know Jim, as both a huge fan of you and soup, I was super sad at first not seeing you but I’m happy knowing it was nothing serious issues happening to you, much love J1mbo

1 million percent please release the unseen footage of Settled and J1immy GG season 2 shenanigans - best pair ever. Congrats on the mortgage and I wish you the best in your health journey

the j1mmy/framed love/hate boner story was why i watched gg smh

Excited for the secret project whatever it is! Been really enjoying your content of all kinds, doesn't matter if its runescape or docu-style deep dives, high production or just camera talking. I would definitely watch any behind the scenes looks at old GG seasons if it strikes your fancy to upload it. Best of luck with the colon stuff, hope things turn around a bit for ya!

I went to hospital last year expecting to just get some meds. Turns out i had 15cm abces due to diverticulitis. Ended up spending a total of 20 days in hopistal over two visits, and was out of work for 3.5 months. Shit sucks man, i hope your recovery to be swift.

Your asmon react vid was great and this vid is too - would love to see more of these types of vid from you.

hope the colon shit goes okay when it's required to get surgery, man!! love the content, eating good with all these extra videos on the 2nd channel you've been killing it with the vids (main and 2nd) lately 🔥🔥

Cheers for letting us know why you couldn’t make it to GG S4. Hope your recovery goes well man and can’t wait to see what you’ve been cooking up!

the j1mmy/settled/framed trio not being there this season is honestly the reason i'm kinda putting it off atm. I like watching soup's content, but these 3 are my bois

I always enjoy your varied content,other games, talking, osrs its all fun to watch!

I’m always down to listen to a J1mmy ramble video. You always have a unique perspective of stuff so glad to hear you stick up for soups decisions on the cast and stick up for Zecookies as well.

Hope you will get better from that condition you are dealing with.. God bless you Jimmy, take care

You're the man Jim hope your health continues to get better, these style vids are still entertaining as well 💯👌🏼

I enjoy these types of videos every now and then but rather not watch reacts/talk about something. I like your osrs vids and the creativity you bring. Wish you the best on your health I been struggling with some sort of messed up stomach something or intestinal something for the last 2 years as well it sucks but man you're positivity towards with what you got goin against you is spot on.

Thinking about it, it really is absolutely insane how much work it probably takes to make GG happen.

Thanks jimbo was real sad to see you not in the games this year but i understand

Im really glad you were present in the earlier seasons of Gielinor Games. I discovered you that way and I was amazed by your content and how entertaining it was. Much love

Hope everything turns out well for you brotha bear. We'll be missing you in the Gili Games! ❤

I really appreciate the transparency. You are missed this season, but I'm glad you were able to put life first

I was very sad to see you not there, but I understand why now, thank you for letting us know! I hope you'll be back for next season! My group of friends don't really play runescape often, but we keep ourselves updated through your videos, and we'll ALWAYS be rooting for you!

Bro I feel your pain I have the same condition. It sucks hope you can manage jimmy

Man it sucks to hear about your health problems. My wife has the same exact thing, so I know how difficult it is to go through that. Hope you're doing better man

Sorry to hear about the diverticulitis. My dad ended up spending most of April in the hospital with it, and they had to take part of his colon. Long road to recovery.

People really really underestimate how much of a skill "being entertaining" is. It's something that feels transparent, like editing or good wind design, it only draws attention to itself when it sucks. I'm here to say I see the skill you bring to your videos, and I appreciate it

Jimmy, you've really grown a lot as a content creator. I'm not a subscriber, but I'm almost there. I keep seeing you pop up in my recommended and your content is getting better and better. I think your superpower is your personality and creative ability. Keep doing what you do. Love ya kiddo!

J1mmy and Settled content is some of the best osrs content! Miss you from the season this time dude, hope your health picks up

I hope whatever comes next with your illness goes well so that you can live a more comfortable life. Good on you for taking care of yourself

This is my first time watching GG and I put on the S2 opener last night, which opens with gold rush. I have never been more entertained by a rs video with so many creators I'm not familiar with. And it wouldn't have been half as entertaining if Framed and C Engineer had just gone the boring route of what they're "good" at instead of taking a risk and blowing everyone out of the water. It was so much fun and soup definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to casting. Sad you're not on this season as the objectively funniest creator but I'm still so excited for the rest of the series!

Hearing you just share your perspective is awesome, you have such a unique way of speaking that somehow makes me laugh the whole time and also care deeply about what you are talking about. Eg.(the new mmo vid) Love your content man.

I loved seeing you in gielinor games, along with settled you were the most entertaining there. You were also the reason i started osrs. Love everythihg you have put out so far 👍

Re: your question about the end, whether people like this kind of video. Literally I will watch whatever you put out, man. I like your take on things, I think even these videos are entertaining just because it's *you* doing them. I was so bummed to not see you on GG this year because of the entertainment value you bring to the series, but this all obviously makes total sense. Congrats on the new house, and I am sending you lots of strength in regards to your health issues. As a fellow fucked-up-colon-haver, that shit is no joke, and I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

Hope you feel better, that sounds tough. And gratz on the house, big life moves.

Take care of yourself J1mmy! Happy you got your move settled and you're in a new spot.

My mom had that same medical issue. It sucks. I'm sorry you have to deal with it. ❤

Damn I was sad not to see you in this season. Hopefully you're settled in by next season and your health is better

Life happens, fully understand. I just figured you were busy when they were filming GG4 and I was right, moving isn't something you just bang out in 5 minutes lol. As for this vlog style video I do like it. Getting more of these here and there would be good. It's easy to just throw on and listen to while I'm playing a game or something myself and knowing I won't be missing some crazy action on the video. Anyways love the content Jimmy, keep up the great work!

I hope your health improves Jim, i really enjoyed the dynamic duo of you and Settled on the money making challenge, i was curious why you werent there but congratulations on the house!

Miss you, Jimbo. You and Settled have always been my favs in GG. Hope the move went well and that the attacks ease up.

Hell yeah, would love to see some more behind the scenes and these sorts of videos.

Although I was really looking forward to seeing you play once again, but health comes first, always! Hope the whole thing goes well, can't even imagine what that must feel like.

Thanks for sharing J1m, sometimes we tend to forget the humanity of content creators. I actually think you put a great effort into this job and it is great that you care about everyone else. Love the vids, keep it up and remember that body and mind are connected, try to get your mind to rest too whenever you can. Thanks for reading! Much love ❤

KZfaq's been slacking when it comes to showing me your stuff lately. I'm looking forward to a binge session of everything I've missed. Would love to see more talking videos, you talking about your thoughts help distract me from my own.

Most people just don't know how to have fun in games anymore. Most things I remember from GG are the tanzoo and virtoso banter, J1mmy being j1mmy and the castle wars challenge because I used to play CW every chance I could growing up.

Really good way of putting a series like GG. It's for entertainment, not a pro tournament.

I was definitely slightly bummed to not see your name in GG this time around when watching the first episode. One of my favorite RS content creators, and you absolutely bring entertainment. You and Settled in the duos season, going for gout tuber, top 10 moment for me. More like GOAT tuber. And hey man, good luck with your health. That really sucks.

My uncle had to deal with the diverticulitis surgery, and I really hope that it clears up without the surgery. I wish the best for you!

Hearing about those comments breaks my heart. What actual nonsense... I was gutted when Jim didn't appear at the start of this season, but your reasoning makes total sense. Super happy for you and your new home, and genuinely wishing you all the best with your health. Keep up the amazing work man!

Love the video man! Appreciate you alot! Sooooo glad you made this video clearing the air. Shame on all those people who choose to comment on subjects they don't understand. I will pray for your recovery! Looking forward to any videos you put out! Most Important is your health so we have you for years to come! Get well bud!

Love you J1m. Keep it up. Love your face. Play more gmod with the boys.
