    Like.

    When you get hit in the balls and you rationally realize it's going to hurt a lot way before the actual pain hits you and you just try to brace for it but you still know it's not going to help.

    It's like watching someone click the arrows on the scroll bar to move the page.

    There's a part of me that really wants to see him play other games, just to see how badly he fucks up, but lord, I don't want to suffer through the bad look he gives the games he touches.

    But, like, imagine him pretending he's good at Mario Kart and not understanding the drift mechanic, or acting like he's great at Smash Bros when he clearly doesn't know how to do smash attacks, etc.

    I would bet money he and his cohorts would never play one character.

    Na i mean, who caused him to start faking his ability at video games. Like this dude really only does anything as a reaction to something happening to him and making him insecure.

    Start faking? It was always faking, rofl. Dude has made his whole career off of making sure anyone in the room who knows more than him relies on him to get paid so that nobody dare ever point out how deeply stupid he is. It's like when he took over Twitter and started talking about code and every software engineer instantly realized how he was a complete fucking idiot and fraud and that maybe he also didn't know shit about the other things he says he knows a lot about while tossing out some big terms.

    It's not a reaction - he just latches onto "popular things" - previously D4 around launch but now PoE2. BECAUSE HE IS COOL AND POPULAR WILL YOU PLEASE LIKE HIM FOR BEING SO COOL AND POPULAR AND NORMAL YOU CAN EVEN GO TO HIS COMPOUND IN TEXAS WHERE HE'LL BE IMPREGNATING TONS OF WOMEN TO HAVE HIS CHILDREN LIKE TOTALLY NORMAL PEOPLE DO DON'T YOU KNOW?

    Nobody. He called himself an elite gamer unprompted. Nobody asked and nobody cared... until he went and made a thing about it.
    On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

    First, he's a techbro. Techbros were often gamers as an entry point.
    Second, he's never developed past an emotional level of age 14 or so. All his braggadocio is literally the same thing as a squeaky 14-year-old telling you they're Marine Special Forces who's trained with Mossad and can kill you in 14 different ways with a wet tissue. It's defensible when you're 14, because 14-year-olds are morons, but for Musk, he's just a deeply embarrassing tryhard.

    And that goes for everything. He's shit at everything. His wealth is what it is because he happened to get lucky a couple times in a row, and he mistakes blind luck for personal talent. It's literally no different than someone hitting a jackpot on two different slots over a weekend and claiming they know how to win slots 100% of the time.

    Because he is a narcissistic Phony Stark that wants to look cool.

    He was the one that self-entitled as "top elite gamer" when no one cared. And yet we have moments like cringe of the decade Click&Drag...

    See, I refuse to believe that he was even a gamer when he fails on basic level stuff like "out of mana" and Click&Drag.

    I can believe he WAS a gamer. Past tense. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Might even got the high score playing Breakout with his nannies (that were payed to make sure he always had the high score).

    He's the literal poster child of "born on 3rd base but acts like he hit a triple"

    Anyone remember when he was bragging about his Elden Ring build, and a bunch of people commented that it was actually kind of crap, with spellcaster stats but physical gear, that really didn't do anything particularly well?

    For some stupid fucking reason Leon is traveling to CA to waste the time of first responders and fire officials fighting the fires in L.A. to satisfy his curiosity about conspiracy theories.

    Incredibly, it's not DEI that's to blame.

    @tehdang it's almost like almost things @Rasulis has been repeatedly been telling you is correct.

    Really though, I'm flummoxed why any official time is wasted on that weirdo pedo guy.

    bytedance isn't going to give Musk or anyone else the actual valuable part of tiktok which is the algorithm

    I suppose Musk or someone else could buy US tiktok and make their own, but they'd likely just turn it to shit like what happened with twitter.

    It's fascinating how the articles you post always have a torpedo a few paragraphs in.
