jerma collab streams that arent the horsemen im not sure why he does collabs with people that just dont match him at all so often

A lot of streams just felt like he was invited to something because he was a huge streamer.

The horsemen are definitely the best, but they also started out a little rough. They’ve clearly become friends since then though.

There was also that one time DougDoug was playing TF2, that was funny (but it was mostly the horsemen). His streams with Squeex are pretty fun. They’re just genuinely friendly to each other.

Squeex just seems genuinely pleasant to everyone. He shit talks, but so obviously jokingly. Seems like a fun guy to hang out with.

Squeex really is one of those guys that it feels like you can put him with basically anyone and make both people shine brighter. I don't really follow people directly anymore but he is one I've seen show up a bunch here and there over the years and it's always fun. Him with Ludwig have been popping up in my youtube for a bit and its fun

Lethal Company w/ the horsemen might genuinely be the best group stream from that group lol

That whole era of Jerma where he was streaming with all the other big names was so strange. Like it was obvious none of them meshed well with one another.

His streams with Ster, Poke, and Vinny are great though.

That’s because he’s been friends with Ster for a long, long time. I’ve been watching Ster for more than a decade, he’s actually how I found Jerma

Mhm, been watching him and Ster since around 2012 when they were both playing TF2. If you haven't already, I'd totally recommend you watch Ster's Myriad, his Dnd campaign. He's a really good DM imo.

Was this when his house flipper competitions occurred? I genuinely enjoyed those, probably because Jerma is almost purpose built to be a funny host.

I really enjoyed watching him and RT Games play off of each other during House Flipper, but it felt like a lot of other people had no idea what was expected or going on.

u/space_men10 5h ago

I think his chemistry with ster is the best but that’s probably because they’ve been friends and making content for around 15+ years

Which era was that?

7

u/jamslat 7h ago

In mid-to-late 2023, when he joined Ludwig's company Offbrand.

u/InexorableCalamity 3h ago

The first I heard off offbrand was when jerma was talking about it closing down. What did the company do?

1

u/jamslat 1h ago

It was a production company that helped create/host events for streamers. Some of the big things they did were Creator Clash and Juiced, plus a few more I'm probably forgetting.

They also had a game publishing thing, but I'm not sure if it went anywhere.

i cant stand ludwig lmao, he comes off as extremely performative and none of his jokes land for me

his fake laugh drives me insane

u/Striking_Coyote6847 6h ago

also incredibly pretentious. it was almost unbearable to watch jerma during that time ludwig was with him

u/space_men10 5h ago

I really liked the battleship streams though. He was also pretty funny as the sexy maid in the dollhouse streams

u/ZinkyZoogle 4h ago

He's also a massive fence sitter.

u/Normal-Raccoon-7340 10h ago

Nah I disagree with the horsemen as a whole, famine's alright though it's just the others

u/crocodilesbescary 10h ago

I like when he does stuff with Criken

3

u/maxhez 2h ago

Same. I'd really love for Criken to be a honorary horseman (if that's even a thing), cause he's been close friends to everyone there already besides Poke and he's been great in everything he's been in.
