What the fuck does this gibberish even mean?
According to this site, he imported his girlfriend from Canada. She has locked down her Twitter. Like, there is no bio, and both photos are just black.

Boring.
All her art is generic shit that I have seen at least dozens of "quirky" bitches do online.

She just had her birthday on November 30th, born in 1986.
She posted this on Twitter, and it was the top result I got.

Going off the preview, I was able to find the full image.

He grew up in a family where there was an inheritance, so he inherited his brother’s Nintendo Entertainment System and a library of games. Since he was limited to the games he had inherited, he was unable to play anything new, which led him to play the same games repeatedly.

Jirard is currently in a sweet relationship with a Canadian artist and editor, Amanda Flagg. She designs shirts and sells them on theyetee.com. In May 2016 she moved from Canada to Los Angeles.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Flagg.
Amanda, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I consider myself to be an artist as well as graphic designer. Originally from Canada, I spent the majority of my life outdoors in the temperate rainforest of Vancouver. While in my 20s attending a program for illustration and design at Capilano University, I landed a job creating original designs for the online graphic tee marketplace Snorg Tees. Between semesters I worked at a local screen-printing warehouse learning the process of apparel design from start to finish. After graduating with newfound knowledge and early industry experience, I embarked on a solo freelance career still continuing my work with Snorg Tees but also branching out to other clients.
With my background in apparel, I created designs for 24-hour shirt sites like Teefury, The Yetee, and RIPT. These designs (referencing anything from Banjo-Kazooie to the Fifth Element) began cementing me as a known entity in the video game and nerd culture communities. From here my reputation started getting me work from official brands like the Game Grumps, Heroes Of the Storm (Blizzard), Dragon Age (BioWare), Mass Effect (2k games) and Five Nights at Freddy’s, designing everything from scarves, mugs, and hats to plush toys. However, my greatest and most well-known creation is an original homage to Nintendo’s cult classic video game Mother 3, a plush green “Save Frog” riding in a plush red car. The plush toy has created online jokes and even an Instagram fan account which I consider my greatest badge of honor. My little green sensation was in such high demand they completely sold out and are currently in reproduction. He’ll hopefully be hopping back into homes by the holidays! It’s surreal to see the work I’ve created appear in the wild and even in the most unlikely of places. My early work with Snorg Tees would resurface a little later in my career as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts) was spotted wearing one of my designs in Iron Man 3. Tony Stark must be into hand-me-downs because Tom Holland (Peter Parker) wore the same shirt and two of my other designs in both Spider-Man movies.
This nerdy accomplishment later helped me acquire my current job as an Editorial Designer at IGN, one of the most visited video game and entertainment news sites in the world. My University program diploma, experience working in the field and notoriety in the pop culture communities qualified me for NAFTA and fulfilled my bucket list item of moving to Los Angeles, my favorite city in the world.
Has it been a smooth road?
As anyone who’s ever tried freelancing as their main source of income already knows, it’s only ever successful if you can effectively juggle many projects at once. But to me even at its worst, it still beats any normal desk job you could throw at me. If we’re talking about literal roads, however, mine was extremely bumpy flying down the I-5 from BC to LA in my packed-to-the-brim 2009 Kia Rio. My mom made the drive down with me and I’m still not certain how she managed to fit in the car with me and all my stuff.
And by the way, did you know that a Canadian driver’s license, insurance, and car ownership papers are basically useless to the California Department of Motor Vehicles? Me neither! So yes, the work was definitely hard, but honestly, getting to know the first and last names of every DMV employee in SoCal was the absolute worst part. That and no more ketchup chips…but I digress.
Please tell us more about your art.
In my case, my business is my art, and in that respect, I consider myself to be a jack-of-all-trades. I’ve done traditional art, digital art, logo design, branding, apparel design, print design, and even photography. Apparel is where I got my start and for that reason it’ll always be close to my heart, but it’s my ability to succeed in a variety of areas that makes me so valuable to my clients. Before I got my job designing for Snorg Tees, I thought I wanted to be a traditional artist, but learning about everything that goes into something as seemingly simple as screen printing changed my mind.
Without everything I’ve learned and experienced bouncing from one amazing opportunity to the next I’d never be the artist I am today. While my shirt designs and Frog in a Car plush toy are my namesake, my true power is accepting any intimidating challenge and always being ready to learn something new. I’m still coming to grips with the reality that I got all the way to California by making t-shirts. I will always cherish my beginnings and where they got me.
To me, the most important thing about being an artist is to always be creating. Broaden and diversify your talents. Learn something new. Knowledge is powerful and it creates opportunities where there may not have been before.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
Streaming my creative process on Twitch.tv is something I’ve been wanting to get serious about for a while and is a personal goal for the near future. The next big steps for my career are my own personal apparel line and a solo gallery show. While these goals may be farther along in the future, I am always striving to learn and experience new things to make these ambitions a reality.

Here is the original post mentioning it, it was on the other thread. Credit to @StillNotBlarg
I was just thinking this week that Jirard might be getting a thread here pretty soon, but I definitely didn't expect this. Though I've also learned to wait for a response before jumping to conclusions.
As for why Jirard might have been getting a thread here: California. That pretty much sums it up.
Jirard has been an avid defender of people like ProJared, Arin Hanson, Jesse Cox, and multiple others who political sperge. I know Alex, his partner in his Let's Play show Super Beard Bros, was notorious for retweeting political shit and likely still is. One of his editors, Tom, was the son of Jamie Lee Curtis, and now I believe he's trans, but don't quote me on that. Jirard's girlfriend Amanda has been going by they/them for years. I'm sure there is more but it's all stuff that I've seen people poke fun of on other threads. It's also leaked over to his content every so often. The one I remember was when he made a very weird Elon Musk buying Twitter joke awhile back.
Jirard himself has been mostly controversy free. The one exception was the removal of his previous partner Greg where he took down the first 120 videos of the Completionist at his request. It was not a pretty breakup and Jirard tried so hard to not have it be another Jon leaving Game Grumps situation. I looked into this one back in the day, and I likely still have some of the links/stories, so if there ever is a full thread on Jirard, I'll post what I have, but I do know that Jirard banned all mentions of Greg at his office.
Jirard has also been complaining about his mental health for years, and it's gotten worse the last two. He completes a game every week and running a company isn't easy and he's been very open about having multiple different therapists. One company and one for mental health. He also has health issues due to a rare disorder called Blue something that causes growths to appear both outside and inside his body. He's gotten a couple of major surgeries for it, including a couple from his intestines.
Jirard's family is also very rich. You can see this in some of his older videos where he lives in a mansion in LA and his father owns several different business including a gas station. What's interesting though is that he has repeatedly stated that the Completionist doesn't make any money, thus the Patreon, and he's been very adamant about saying how he doesn't want to fire his friends and has to outright refuse anytime any of them ask for a raise. Despite this, Jirard bought a house back in 2016 or 2017 in LA, and it's quite sizable considering it has a pool.
Jesus I nearly wrote Jirard's thread right here. And there's still more to say. I apologize for this vomit of an infodump.
