He's emotionally stunted and unable to validate himself, leading him to seek external validation at every turn. Sometimes that's being the World's Most Divorced Dad on Twitter sharing stale memes. Sometimes it's trying to brag about being the Best Gamer, no matter what that looks like, be it ranking in Overwatch or paying someone to lead in Path of Exile for him. Ironically he has been completely poisoned by and subsumed into the cultures of nonstop competition for meaningless points that gaming corporations create and maintain to keep players playing. When he gets exposed it just makes him look like an even bigger loser, like his holistically awful Elden Ring build. If a normal person shared their terrible ER build they'd get pointers on how to improve it, but the Technoking of SpaceX is such an egotist that it just adds fuel to the fire.

It's entitlement. People who think "I'm good enough to be in the highest ranks, it's my stupid teammates that stop me from being there!" and so they get boosted. They don't realize having shitty teammates is part of any game and knowing how to deal with those players is a skill itself.

But since they're antisocial nerds who treat other people like shit in real life and online, they never learn. There's an overlap between misogynistic assholes and shitters who get boosted.

Refusing to talk to the type of people who play Overwatch would be the most intelligent thing he's publicly done.

nd doesn’t use the mic.

Using mic is actively detrimental in Overwatch until at least Diamond these days. 99% of people genuinely get better results by turning it all off

I can't seem to get the page to load. What rank was he? Silver boosted gold? Edit: Holy crap I found it. He was a bronze torb main. I'm dying 😂

How about filtering "Musk"?

With a bit of fiddling deepseek gave me this tamper monkey script, appears to work on my end:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Lemmy Post Filter
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Remove Lemmy posts containing specific keywords in their titles
// @author       Deepseek

// @match        https://*.hexbear.net/*
// @match        https://lemmygrad.ml/*
// @match        https://*.lemmygrad.ml/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    // Add your keywords here (case insensitive)
    const KEYWORDS = [
        'elon',
        'musk'
        // Add more keywords as needed
    ];

    // Function to check if title contains any of the keywords
    function containsKeyword(title) {
        if (!title) return false;
        const lowerTitle = title.toLowerCase();
        return KEYWORDS.some(keyword => lowerTitle.includes(keyword.toLowerCase()));
    }

    // Function to process posts
    function filterPosts() {
        const posts = document.querySelectorAll('.post-listing.mt-2');

        posts.forEach(post => {
            const titleElement = post.querySelector('.d-inline-block');
            if (titleElement) {
                const titleText = titleElement.textContent || titleElement.innerText;
                if (containsKeyword(titleText)) {
                    // Remove the post
                    post.style.display = 'none';


                    // Find and remove the HR after this post
                    const nextElement = post.nextElementSibling;
                    if (nextElement && nextElement.tagName === 'HR') {
                        nextElement.style.display = 'none';
                    }

                    console.log('Removed post with title:', titleText);
                }
            }
        });
    }

    // Run initially
    filterPosts();

    // Observe DOM changes for infinite scroll or dynamic content loading
    const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
        filterPosts();
    });

    observer.observe(document.body, {
        childList: true,
        subtree: true
    });
})();

Cause Elon is an ebic engineer just like Torb, of course.

I’m surprised he didn’t main bastion.

And he was hard stuck bronze. I'm dying 😂 😂😂

Bronze is the lowest level of combatant. Torb is a guy that built turrets so you didn't actually have to aim yourself. So he is playing the least skill based position and at a low level.

If you had really good tactical awareness it could be a valuable character to have on a team. I was a gold level torb at one point. But it was about map awareness and positioning and not mechanical skill.

lol
