"due to a bad connection"

lol blame lag more scrub

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Richest man in the world running a gaming rig on 56k. Tragic.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 62 points 1 year ago

The other funny part is, he owns the ISP so if there actually was lag it was still his fault

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

~~to be fair, he was on a plane~~

on second thought there is no need to be fair to elon

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

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

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

billionaire-tears No, you see, I don't suck at PoE my product is just shit.

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

It can be both

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Was it the ket or was it pure skill issue?

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I haven't played PoE2 but PoE is always online and server dependent.

But he wasn't lagging he's just bad.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Pillars of Eternity is the single player CRPG that has the same abbreviation (that you might be confusing this for)

[-] halfpipe@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

This man is in his 50s, with hundreds of billions of dollars and dozens of kids, and this is what he's doing.

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

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".

[-] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Ask the Germans. I bet they have a word for it.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

the way things have been going, that word is probably "antisemitismus"

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

A then proceeds to fail miserably at doing thing

Failed at a trivial scale of the thing.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

due to a bad connection

Lmao, sure.

[-] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago
[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

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???

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he just showed us all that starlink is trash lol

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He should really play easier games. Why do this to yourself?

Or maybe he should suffer.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

He's not playing games to have fun, he's playing games to signal membership in the reprehensible freeze-gamer subculture

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

You literally can't lose to the tutorial boss unless you're trying to. He must have been high as shit on ket

[-] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Ketius Maximus

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Or he's got as much gaming skill as my Gran

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

turns off camera

throws computer against wall like the man baby he is

[-] GladimirLenin@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

looks longingly at the emergency release lever on the plane cabin door

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Lol I also suck at this game, where's my army of followers trying to justify foibles

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

You need more commas in your net worth

[-] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

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.
