In the last minutes of the stream, Musk made a hardcore difficulty character he named Kekius Maximus, a 4chan-esque meme name he’s used as his display name on X. But Kekius Maximus was not long for the world. Musk died to one of the game’s tutorial bosses due to a bad connection, which subsequently concluded the stream, ending another sad, weird data point in the Elon Musk fake gamer saga.

The guy who claimed he was a top tier Quake player... who in actuality, was only scoring well in online matches, because he played on the T1 high speed, stupid expensive business line at his Zip2 business in the 90s... and performed terribly at LANs...

Well here he is 30 years later, now dying to a tutorial boss, partially due to the shitty connection of his own ISP.

Amazing.

My wife thinks maybe he has a humiliation kink.

There's an interesting psychological analysis about musk on a podcast called Psychology in Seattle. They speculate that he is unconconsiously recreating his childhood bullying on twitter due to a psychological phenomenum called "repetition compulsion". As in, you recreate relationships from childhood to try to have a " corrective experience" to heal the trauma.

Is the PoE 2 tutorial boss any harder than the PoE 1 tutorial boss? Because if not, then thats actually crazy.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the boss is "harder", you have to actively dodge his abilities but he's not "dying two times in a row" hard

I DONT CARE

but i care enough to tell you to not post this crap

and that everyone who cares about what video game the fascist prince is playing also needs to touch grass

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I take posts like these as an opportunity to block people who spam Lemmy with stupid nonsense. I'm heartened to know I won't ever see a post by this person ever again.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago

At this point I think it's just fun. So much of the conversation around Elon is deadly serious, doom and gloom, and this is just... lighthearted mocking about something that doesn't matter. It's a refreshing change.

And it does seem to matter to him, so undermining that image he works hard to curate is an added bonus. And hell, if Path of Exile is what makes someone realize what a pathetic lying moron he can be, then that's fantastic as well, even if it's an odd thing to have that epiphany for.

You defeat these people by exploiting their deep seated insecurities.

Sometimes that backfires like when Seth Meyers got trump to run for president, but that's the exception.
