    Oh, I thought it was because he died to the tutorial boss on a game he’s supposedly pro at.

      I’ve never played the game, but I’ve read others say the game is Dark Souls hard, and it’s not uncommon to die in the tutorial.

      That said, fuck Musk

        Path of exile is hard, but not at the start. Even on the first play through, most people are clearing the first boss without death. On subsequent play through you shouldn’t ever die. Elon has never actually played the game, so he has no clue.

        It’s also not even close to as hard as Dark Souls. No Rest for the Wicked is more souls like ARPG.

          I believe you.

          I just don’t care. I’m just stating that Musk sucking wasn’t unusual at a hard game.

          That said, again, fuck him. And his pathetic attempt to hang with kids for attention, being a middle aged grown man.

            The unusual part is not that he sucked, but that he was presenting himself as a top player (because he bought an account).

            Like, if I hand the controller to someone who’s never played Demon Souls and they get wrecked by the first few skeletons or wev, that makes sense. If someone brags about being among the top Demon Souls players in the world, and they can’t make it through the first level, that’s odd.

            Most of us grow out of thinking our skills at video games have much significance or bearing on our self image, so it’s very odd to see an adult that feels the need to lie about their competence at a video game. If instead of buying an account and pretending to be a top player, he had been honest - “hey y’all, just going to show off Starlinks ability to stream by checking out PoE2!” - well, at most people might be making fun of him for taking time to play video games instead of running the dozen companies he supposedly does, but it wouldn’t be this pathetic.
