"due to a bad connection"
lol blame lag more scrub
Richest man in the world running a gaming rig on 56k. Tragic.
The other funny part is, he owns the ISP so if there actually was lag it was still his fault
~~to be fair, he was on a plane~~
on second thought there is no need to be fair to elon
Yeah he was on his own private jet, which means he was definitely using starlink, which means the lag he blamed for his total lack of gaming skill would still be his own fault
No, you see, I don't suck at PoE my product is just shit.
It can be both
If he was lagging then the first thing to drop would have been streaming the video, which takes considerably more bandwidth than the game itself.
He wasn't lagging, he was just so high on ket he couldn't even beat a tutorial boss.
Was it the ket or was it pure skill issue?
Wait, how can the game lag because of a bad connection? Was he streaming the game itself for some reason? Surely the Muskrat can afford a gaming rig for his plane to run it locally.
I haven't played PoE2 but PoE is always online and server dependent.
But he wasn't lagging he's just bad.
OK, I only know the game by name and was vaguely aware that it's single player or at least can be played single player.
It can be played single player, but even in single player mode it's still online, presumably so the club of hArDcOrE gAmErS that Musk is trying to be a part of can brag to each other about their leaderboard scores or whatever (and also as DRM)
It can't really be played single player, it just have faux single player mode when you can't trade or party with others but you still need to be online.
Pillars of Eternity is the single player CRPG that has the same abbreviation (that you might be confusing this for)
This guy said chess is too simple btw lol
And that the real smart people game is some mobile Civ clone or whatever.
Its not even a civ clone though. It's more like, "what if civ had the same complexity as settlers of catan?" The dumb boy finally found a game he's good at, because it's easy, and assumed it must be more intellectually relevant than the games he's bad at. Kids aren't this dumb.
I'm pretty sure it's full of micro transactions, and Elon is all about macro-transactions
Pay to win is the only way he's ever won anything lol
I'm tired of putting chess on a pedestal. It's a shit game. Play go like a real gamer.
I logged in to upbear this
This man is in his 50s, with hundreds of billions of dollars and dozens of kids, and this is what he's doing.
due to a bad connection
Lmao, sure.
A: I did thing (lie)
B: You obviously can not do thing
A: Yes I can, I'll prove it!
A then proceeds to fail miserably at doing thing
Is there a word for this? I'm looking for something a little stronger than "hubris".
Delusions of grandeur?
Ask the Germans. I bet they have a word for it.
the way things have been going, that word is probably "antisemitismus"
A then proceeds to fail miserably at doing thing
Failed at a trivial scale of the thing.
Blaming it on lag is worse, right? Like, that's his whole fucking job. You're allowed to be shit at video games, but it you're the guy who's in charge of making the computers work good and your own personal computer works like shit, then like???
Yeah, he just showed us all that starlink is trash lol
He should really play easier games. Why do this to yourself?
Or maybe he should suffer.
He's not playing games to have fun, he's playing games to signal membership in the reprehensible 
subculture
You literally can't lose to the tutorial boss unless you're trying to. He must have been high as shit on ket
Ketius Maximus
Or he's got as much gaming skill as my Gran
The boss is slightly harder than that, but it's not like the sekiro tutorial where you're supposed to lose. It has a giant slow attack where he lights up, and you have to move out of the way. It's simple if you're familiar with this kind of game. Musk just is shit.
turns off camera
throws computer against wall like the man baby he is
looks longingly at the emergency release lever on the plane cabin door
Lol I also suck at this game, where's my army of followers trying to justify foibles
You need more commas in your net worth
due to a bad connection
There are two options here. Either his Starlink is trash, or he rage quit and blamed it on lag like a fucking dork ass crybaby loser. Both are rqually believable, and both make him look worse.
