Just for my personal pride, I would like to state that the father of my children was the first american druid in diablo to clear abattoir of zir and ended that season as best in the USA. He was also ranking in Polytopia, and beat Felix himself at the game. I did observe these things with my own eyes. There are other witnesses who can verify this. That is all.

We're like 3 steps removed from the iq dickmeasurers moving from measuring skulls to comparing PoE builds.

I don't even know if I'm joking here, what the fuck are these people doing.

Elon Musk trying to make himself out to be a god gamer is such a lose/lose situation; the people who care are also the ones who are going to be the quickest to call him out on his bullshit and other people either don't care or make the logical conclusion that the time expenditure required would be prohibitive for his supposed job of CEO of multiple companies. It's just such a hilarious self-own.

Also, a reminder that Musk was a junior programmer on two of the worst Sega CD games.

Which two?

Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine and I believe also Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm. Both FMV-laden turds.

holy fuck those comments. are all these people huffing CO2?

I get the some streamers looked at @elonmusk's gameplay and it looks like a shared account, maybe with his kids or something, and it seems unlikely he's made all that PoE2 progress on his own.

But has he actually said something about his play of PoE2 that is contradicted by this? Do we have an actual quote from him that would be a lie if their assessment of his on stream PoE2 gameplay is accurate?

The critics who leap to assuming he's not (or was not) a good (pro-level) gamer in general are making a huge leap with their "gotcha" moment.

uhm if you’d just look at the facts and ignore everything musk said and ignore the other times he was caught cheating, it’s perfectly reasonable that an extremely busy businessman like ~~daddy~~ musk would just have his 6 year old son play this extremely difficult game at a top level and then repeatedly claim his son’s accomplishments as his own. and by the transitive property that makes musk a pro-level gamer! QED woke critics or as professional quake players like musk and I say: lol zerg rush gg

Who actually gives a shit?

In case anyone else comes here to say this: amongst many other things, this shit is funny. Even out of context: someone defending their choice of ex by saying they were good at gaming is already funny. Ladling all the other layers of context only makes it more and more farcical.
