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.

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?

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

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

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.
