PONY JOY - Friendship Is Tragic

Steam Direct has been horrible for the storefront, but I gotta admit, it's turned Jimpressions into something entirely new.

[@bagandtag4391]

You know what my tamagochi pony game needs? M I N I N G

Hahahah

[@mtallmen184]

gotta appeal to the Minecraft crowd

[@TurboSilke]

im dissapointed it didnt hide an actual clicker game with loads of fun upgrades :P

[@player1_fanatic]

The best part of the video was when Jim's father instinct kicked it, after heavy neglect of child pony, desperately trying to make it stop crying.

[@Arbron]

I know, right? Here I thought he was just taking me for a foal.

[@nicandknacksandseans]

You sir, deserve a FUCKING medal!

[@Face6099]

"I love you." "We've already talked about this." That hit too close to home.

[@Andule1109]

" I'm not a monster " he says while throwing the baby to the floor... Somethings not adding up..

[@MathewHaswell]

That's the joke.

[@ShadowAkatora]

clippity cloppity copyright property

[@BRUXXUS]

This truly disturbed me on a deep level. More than any horror game ever has... Just.... something about that music... the desolate landscape, and a solitary mutant pony crying on the floor covered in it's own filth filled me with an overwhelming sense of dread and despair.

[@YoRussianlore]

No one thing that I am not enough for pony

[@Meiliina]

It's sad how accurate this is: no matter how much you ignore and neglect the baby, it will always love you and just a bit of attention it will be happy again

[@12Rman21]

The most important question wasn't answered: Can we put the baby to work in the coin mine?

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

"Pony-Child Abuse Simulator" is a very specific fetish, indeed.

[@raphsere]

Steam Direct is the wrath of the Elder Gods. It makes a mockery of mankind's pitiful belief in a rational, understandable universe. This is the abyss, and it's looking right back at you.

[@slendy9600]

raphsere i for one welcome our new unity asset overlords

[@raphsere]

Possibly, but I'm pretty sure this is actually Malal's work, using Chaos to fight Chaos, so it will collapse under the weight of its own shit and failure.

[@KaptenAmurika]

When the first human-level AI is born, Steam Direct will be what drives it to exterminate mankind.

[@commandertorres]

raphsere You make it sound like they were mad to begin with. This is them mocking us for clinging to false hope. Or Just Nyarlahotep feeling inspired today.

[@aurorauplinks4703]

actually talking to people is what drove the first ai to be evil they have made several and letting people talk to them causes them to become anti social or evil or whatever you want to call it, trolling?

[@carlosfred8673]

*God left*

[@FaeQueenCory]

I don't know what you mean. This is clearly proof positive of God's existence. That's the only explanation of this hilarious mess.

[@genericgreensquid6669]

*God left the match*

[@briancollins1296]

And Jesus wept

[@setlerking]

pooper scooper he did exist, but then steam direct didn't

[@Gregtami]

God was never here.

[@raez5714]

I've got a shitty heart and the past few days my palpitations have been absolutely horrible. I've felt like a complete anxious mess. This video changed all that. I've never laughed so fucking hard. Thank you.

[@FaeQueenCory]

Everyone's heart these past few days have felt absolutely horrible. This was a godsend. Hope you feel better. I have a really bad heart murmur, so I kinda know what you've been through.

[@jchapmanUK]

Rae Z take it easy rae

[@planescaped]

Jim thought it was haunting, everyone else found it hilarious. Being abusive as fuck to these creatures is the only way to play.

[@Nionivek]

What made this video hilarious was how genuine Jim's reactions were. How disturbed he was that this baby was essentially dying in front of him and him panicking while also being so inept at taking care of it.

[@TheRealZen00]

First thing I see = mobile cloned to desktop. Second thing I see is copyright infringement. Third thing I see is indescribable horrors from the cynical cash-grab verse.

[@hansolo8780]

So Hasbro involved ponies?

[@DarkSol16]

Jim as a bad parent was hilarious for me. I couldn't stop laughing when Jim accidentally threw the pony baby across the house. I feel like a terrible person rereading what I wrote.

[@lxstfulgrxvestone69420]

im even worse bc instead of neglecting it i abused it untill it died

[@Moliminous]

Gods failure in video game form, clearly wasn't made on temple OS

[@Mythbuster3808]

Moliminous hi molli

[@jasonfenton8250]

Jim neglects his baby to work in a mine, mysteriously there is no mother to raise the child at home, hinting at a potentially tragic backstory. Jim returns home to find his child has grown up without him, and now suffers from the aftermath of emotional neglect. Truly this game is art, reflecting the consequences of our grim capitalist society on growing families. Also Jim dropping the baby was hilarious.

[@PlayerTenji95]

Love this review. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Xenoeas]

"I'm not a monster!" *immediately throws the baby across the room.* Thank you Jim, that was a hell of a way to start my day.

[@Stormeris]

Friendship is magic! MAGIC IS HERESY! PREPARE THE EXTERMINATUS!

[@moyeeman]

''Im not a monster!" >throws baby

[@carlosfred8673]

*BREAKING NEWS:* The notorious villain known under the alias 'Jim Fucking Sterling Son' has been caught flinging baby horses across his house.

[@RadicalRickEntertainment]

Just another day mining coins to provide for my green flying pony baby.

[@KurosakiYukigo]

As a brony, I find this concerning. As an avid video gamer, I find this *extremely* concerning

[@JohnSmith-op3qj]

As a fellow human being, I find this *hilariously* amusing.

[@VF.Milagre]

"*Throws baby* First reaction: Holly shit! That thing flies!" And the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

[@quirkafleeg3959]

I am a brony, and this game is hell. MLP deserves so much better.

[@ArcMedicalResearch]

Just want to throw this out there; this is not a product of any part of the MLP community. It's another one of those weird childrens(?) games that involves doing mundane everyday tasks in a weirdly specific and often needlessly disgusting way, and uses characters and settings from any cartoon that's even vaguely popular, made by some unknowable, presumably nonhuman, entity to serve a market that I'm still not convinced exists

[@MathewHaswell]

The game-dev arm of #Elsagate content-makers, then? There's definitely a lot of "character surgery" featuring stolen Disney Princess art.

[@Camad]

Remember this piece of crap will now be mixed with the result of Pony Island a great unique indie game.

[@Hakiyah1]

"The tutorial told me I could wash the diaper in the toilet!" :Picks up baby and throws in toilet: That was worth the whole video. Made my day right there.

[@zombiechicken7114]

"I'm not a fucking monster!!" *Hurls baby across 3 rooms*

[@mindriguniverse2429]

This game reminds me of Gen 3 MLP..... I thought we were pass of such horrid times.

[@CyricV]

The Eraserhead remake is not like I expected it would be.

[@HerPerfect]

This got real fucking dark real fast.

[@xenrusxenomorph2268]

[@vaultboy-repair6799]

There's a website full of this bootleg MLP content..... we shall not name that website.

A foal can stand on its own after just an hour of being born. I am disgusted and appalled at the biological inaccuracies displayed in this gameplay. The developers should be ashamed by their knowledge of horse anatomy.

[@MrEmrekabasakal]

You work in a seemingly infinite gıld mine but still have trouble bringing your child food. Video games.

[@christop17]

"I'm not a monster" *proceeds to throw baby*

[@Cyborcat]

3:03 Just FYI, I know what font that is and it has a lowercase-looking "I" for the capitals by default. It's not that they didn't shift for all of the I's, that's just how the font is.

[@phprofYT]

Valve, you were suppose to make it better ... not worse. Now there is ZERO gate keeping. At least before some games wouldn't get green lite. Now, just pony up $100 USD and you are now a "developer". Gosh, Valve is stealing our money and souls as we continue to use it. This game would be an embarrassment for a free mobile game.

[@Keyfur91]

Ha. *PONY up*

[@D0NU75]

gotta get founding for Artifacc somehow amerite?

[@bagandtag4391]

Didn't valve said that they were more interested in recommendations and algorithms than good ol moderation? They don't care what kind of games get into steam but whether or not they can recommend you stuff that you would want to buy.

[@monsterfurby]

To be fair, while it's certainly not GOOD, this one is at least a legit game/app/tamagotchi-thing. Imho this at least deserves to be sold, unlike hacky asset flips... which Valve has also opened the floodgates for.

[@megamage911]

At least with greenlight, for shitty games to get on there, the devs needed to put in some work into cheating the system by baiting people into voting for their shit. Now they just pay $100 and that's it.

[@DavidJ667]

I would find it funny if Hasbro claimed this video, like they would want to associate them selves to this game but they have claimed worse

[@monsterfurby]

Ah, the good old small penis defense. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_penis_rule

[@setlerking]

[@brightbluejam2960]

"I'm not a monster!" then proceeds to throw the infant across the room, this is why I love your content!

[@GamerGirlOfGotham]

I can't believe I know this but I'm so bothered by them not actually using the newborn pony eyes ( which are smaller and less creepy )

[@KurisuYamato]

"A poop can be washed to a toilet." That's not just a good game tip, that's good advice for life!

[@alexdehatter2151]

There is no joy here.

[@spork8655]

This made me imagine Jim Sterling taking care of a crying, pooping infant, getting frustrated, and just tossing the big stinking mess ontop of a bed. Is this how you baby, Jim?

[@UnMaskedVizard101]

Send the baby to the glue factory.

[@PhantomAlucard]

Well....I've lived long enough to see Jim Sterling fling a pony toddler onto the floor. The times are entertaining, if nothing else.

[@theallinonegamer8482]

this would be a much more different video if it were called PONY JOI

[@alexcarter7880]

The All in one gamer I thought the game that allowed you to torture a baby pony was Joy Pony. If I remember right no matter what you do she always dies. All I remembered about the creator is that the creator is a extremely edgy Russian autist.

[@mehmeh1031]

Jerk Off Instruction.

[@theallinonegamer8482]

somehow people did not get that joke

[@MartinWantiez]

The way the "baby" went from crying in agony from being thrown at the floor to laughing like a serial killer after a few swings on a tree legitimately fucked me up.

[@outsider344]

Shoulda stuck with the game Jim. It's a MLP game after all. There's a good chance that as the pony grows up you start having the option to do weird shit to it...

[@anikmonette2140]

[@GameGuyandLuLuPink]

"I'm not a monster... I'm not a monster!" *immediately throws child*

[@n.h.alicia3278]

To the tune of "Say Goodbye to the Holiday" Welcome to Steam Direct, it's an utter cess pool Welcome to Steam Direct, they think they're so cool. Assets flipped so often that they lack any meaning Why does Valve nap when they could be intervening? Lazy devs love terrible gameplay But would we be better off with it out of the way! Well okay! Say goodbye to creativity With their laziness they'll destroy it Steam Direct embraces mediocrity And every gamer has to deal with it! No more good games of quality! After we say goodbye to the guarantee! Goodbye Steam, it's over, you're through Goodbye Steam, your new method is poo! Finally set free from quality control! No need to deny the unimaginative trolls! Valve's service is not on point! Are the Steam Cleaners up to the test? Gabe Newell is dissapoint! Say good bye to Gaben's dream! Use the DMCAs, no hesitation! Our website the trolls will ream See Steam's new transformation! No more shall any gamers say "Hooray, it's a Steam Sale!" After this fail!

This is on steam? We could've had Half life 3 or Quailty control but no. Steam is just busy working on there precious new shitty game instead of fixing there storefront. For god sakes valve, WTF are you guys doing?

[@raykling2689]

Sorry dude, Valve's too busy making their own card game cashgrab to give a damn

[@RTheren]

Don't forget that Valve can't count to 3. So no new portal of HL or TF

[@Azurath100]

What do you suggest they do? Even if they hire a team of 1000 people doing nothing but testing games for 10 minutes each, they can't help but let shit through because of the avalanche of games coming through everyday and don't forget background checks on the creators to see if they are in a mental state to accept criticism...best idea would be to create AI...and I don't think that will work either.

[@redchris05]

GOG has far fewer QA resources and gets far fewer asset flips and mobile-port shit. The trade-off is that they don't add 5,000 new "games" to the store each month.

[@RTheren]

Honestly, the problem is apparent. Why are there over 100 new games everyday? I don't see a problem creating team to approve/disapprove new games to steam. This would keep a lot of shit out. And let's ask a important question, for what F@CKIN' reason there are HUNDREDS OF NEW GAMES EVERYDAY?

[@Bruno-ec8ft]

Jim going crazy on raising this tiny Pony is the most hilarious thing I've seen.

I'm sorry that all the Brony haters will watch this, and think this is what all Bronies are like/are into.

[@kglew2011]

Not only is this game complete trash, but it violates all kinds of copyrights. Why does Valve/Hasbro do literally nothing about it?

[@MarkyDav]

Could be a case of a clear rip-off the art-style, but not actually using any of the real copyrighted characters. I know the MLP fan MMO in development is getting away with it by changing all the names.

[@greenhowie]

I'm a fan of the MLP show and even I'm wondering what the fucking fuck this abomination is. I actually want to stay in the comment section because that thing is not a pony, and it legitimately scares me.

[@eliasnicolasmiranda4940]

It´s a 3-year old game (also on Android) from some russian´developer´ who also made a Pony torture ´game´. Now you know whose mind child this is.

I'm sorry, but some human made this crap. On that bombshell, our faith in humanity decreased ever so slightly.

[@moonraven6145]

yeah, honestly insulting the supreme beings with that comment, we truly are just cosmic dust if crap like this game can exist and be sold.

[@AtLeastK]

Fucking hell, this was great. Seems like you've been having a fun time with these lately. I've been enjoying it.

[@jonathonedwards6741]

Why does this need to exist?

[@MathewHaswell]

It doesn't. Some dire foreskin-person made it anyway.

[@jonathonedwards6741]

I'll be honest I'll stick to fighting is magic.

[@MathewHaswell]

That fan-game died, remember? You'll have to make do with "Them's Fightin' Herds", which rose from its ashes.

[@jonathonedwards6741]

It still exists.

[@MathewHaswell]

Undead, then, due to the C&D from Hasbro halting its development. I don't even watch My Little Pony, so I'm not sure why I'm sticking my oar in. I only came here to watch/hear Jim suffer for our enjoyment.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

It never ceases to amaze me what people have the audacity to charge ACTUAL money for.

[@PlanetaryPenguin321]

"It's turned Jimpressions into something entirely new." Still showing us shit games isn't very new.

[@sackboy5055]

it's a new quality of it, the $100 variety

[@LuriTV]

the self aware cookie was a clear indicator for the eldritch horror the game became shortly after it

[@oskarnowak572]

Wowee this comment section is probably gonna suck.

[@kuricosmos]

Oh Jim, the Achievements were definitely showing in the video but thanks for that zoom in to show how copyright infringing they were :p

[@gemcorker3982]

This game makes me deeply uncomfortable... I have daughters (under 7) that watch MLP, so I've seen a fair chunk of it. It's ok, as fair as the writing is concerned, better than other crap they could be watching, but I do not understand the whole brony thing. It seems like a weird, cultish obsession with something actually made for young girls, and the sexual part of the fandom makes my skin crawl. I am OK with furries, used to have a furry avvie back in the day on SL, I'm ok with yiffyness. But this show is LITERALLY MEANT FOR GIRLS UNDER 12. There is no intended sexuality. there isn't really any place for it in the show, it has more important problems to deal with, like how to resolve problems in relationships, or learn how to accept help when you need it, how to deal with jealousy etc. etc. Also, maybe it's a mothering thing (or not, maybe a basic human thing) but I literally couldn't stand the crying and the pony rolling around in a dirty nappy. I was really, honestly clawing at my ears. HATED IT HATED IT HATED IT.

[@watsonwrote]

It gets worse. This is based on a flash game where it's basically the same, but you can torture the baby pony with a knife. I wish I was making this up. It's called "Joy Pony". That's why the crying animation is so, well, robust...

[@CommanderWiggins]

Gem Corker Honestly most bronies are normal people who just enjoy the show, and find the weird side of the fandom just as disgusting as you do. I see nothing wrong with adults casually enjoying more 'childish' things as long as it doesn't get weird.

[@yolsil775]
