It isn’t a great point.
Sure, what Musk did only further proves what a pathetic loser he is, but it’s the equivalent of “My girlfriend goes to another school, you haven’t met her”. It isn’t illegal or anything, it’s attempted clout chasing that blew up in his face… it’s just sad.
Fuck, I hate hearing about these people.
I think I’m just gonna ignore you. Sorry OP.
some random twitch streamer is worse than any person I’ve ever heard of. Wow what’d they do! It’s some video game leaderboard bullshit drama about Musk.
Lol fuckin quality journalism vice. Must be a really eventful news day.
Both of these people could fall off a cliff in a burning Tesla and nothing of value would be lost.
I’d mourn the lithium.
In an interesting plot twist, it would actually be a net positive for said Tesla brand in the long run, too.
That’s how you get forest fires though.
Hey, don’t disregard the value of scrap metal!
The scrap metal was MADE in the event!
Honestly don’t care about Elon’s PoE 2 account. Nor do I care much about Asmongold as a person, I only have a single important question:
What’s with gaming streamers/youtubers trying to look like Jesus? GN Steve gets a pass, he’s Tech Jesus and everyone knows it. What’s up with Asmongold and that Penguinz guy though?
By “look like Jesus” do you mean they are white guys with long hair and facial hair?
I think you might underestimate how easy it is to grow your hair out and stop shaving and instantly become a Jesus look-alike. No effort needed.
Also, these two dudes look extremely different from each other and obviously they look nothing like Jesus who was a 5 and 1/2 ft tall brown skinned Semite.
I mean, I walked into the church hall for the daughter of my friends’ baptism and everyone paused to look at me, even the priest. I even overhead “it’s Jesus” from the mother who was 2 pews in front of me.
Seeing the bewilderment and expressions of everyone was just magical.
Maybe wearing a white toga and a thorn crown was a bit much for a church visit
Should have started asking for money bro
By “look like Jesus” I do indeed mean the popular modern western depiction of Jesus, because as far as I know, there’s no conclusive proof of a historical Jesus existing, and if he did, he was obviously not a modern European-origin American man.
As for the second point - idk, it might just be because I can’t grow a decent full beard, but after the first centimeter or 2 of facial hair, I just get told to shave because it’s not funny anymore. I also can’t imagine letting my hair grow for several years to get it as long as those guys. I thought one of the perks of being a man is that you get to be comfortable instead of spending years growing out your hair and shit lol
It’s pretty well-established within the field of history that there was a Jewish mendicant preacher named Jesus of Nazareth who got baptised by John and nailed to a cross by order of Pilates. That’s just as well (or badly) attested as anything else about notable people in Galilee at the time.
It’s the rest that ranges from unattested to either allegorical or certainly made up.
Hmm, I was under the impression that there isn’t much written about him until long after his death - but maybe I did let that one skepticon video influence me too much lol
I go from Three musketeer to wizard of the Court in about 1 month. Generally I just prefer not to cut my hair, but it will reach full length in about 1 year and then just stop growing any longer.
These guys seem like they also chose this hairstyle because it’s just less work and you spend less time being uncomfortable.
Constantly shaving all the time sucks.
Oh, thank you, Vice! I didn’t know Asmongold was worse than Hitler.
Garbage journalism what a joke. Fuck, I still remember when Vice was relevant and renowned for the work.
But the reason Vice uses Asmongold instead of someone like Quin69, who made the video showing Elon is a fraud, is because people know Asmongolds name and it gets Vice the clicks.
For once Asmongold’s outrage baiting worked in our favour
Isn’t it weird that he’s the top player in PoE2 AND Diablo IV?
Plus a highly involved, successful CEO for multiple companies! I believe any of that is true as much as I believe he’s a free speech absolutist.
Do you think he pays Chinese teenagers to run his companies
I wouldn’t be surprised given the decisions he has made at Tesla alone.
I would be
Chinese teenagers would be much more competent at running tech companies
I like to think this is the start of something important, Musks gaming account, realising that we can seriously sidetrack Trump by calling him the vice president and weird. The public is learning how to enact our own kind of political manipulation.
The weird thing is like, this whole situation could have been avoided if he just played the game normally rather than pretending to be some god gamer at it.
Imagine being the wealthiest person on the planet, and still being this insecure.
Fragile masculinity combined with wanting to appear sufficiently tech savvy to tech bro investors. Tech bros want nerds because pretty much every dollar they’ve ever made was off the back of some innovation of someone they consider a nerd, so Elon wants to be the biggest nerd to tech bros so they will throw even more money at his dumb projects.
It’s for the same reason he’s pretended to be a genius his entire career, he’s obsessed with his self image and being number one. He’s lied about being the best quake player in the world at some point. He’s like Billy Mitchell with more money.
He’s like Billy Mitchell with more money.
Careful there, or you’ll have two nut jobs suing you
My first instinct was to poke fun but it’s actually important to keep breaking this overpaid influencer’s false image. He’s actively using it to push his harmful agenda.
I’m out of the loop. What is the agenda?
Have you not noticed any of the many things Musk has said and done to suppress things like civil and worker’s rights? How he’s sucking Trump’s cock so he can dictate policy to the country? How he turned Twitter into an actual Nazi mouthpiece? That’s what he’s using his image to try to push.
Among other things:
- anti workers rights
- anti immigrant
- with exceptions for his own businesses
- anti safety nets
- pro fascist
- he’s began propping up Reform in UK and AfD in Germany
- pro corporate
Basically your bog-standard right-wing corporate fascist grab bag. He’s using his platforms (in all meaning of the word) to push that internationally.
Zack is one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) streamer in the world.
Rather than taking the time to try and research Elon, it’s probably faster to just read the Wikipedia entries on the German Nazi party and apartheid South Africa. That should give you a pretty good idea of what he believes and is pushing.
I can‘t even tell for sure who of the two you’re talking aboout but I agree either way.
Yes
Rich people work so hard to deserve their perverse wealth /s The only way they can still blow of steam is by pretending to grind online multiplayer games no actual working person has enough time for.
What kind of flex is this supposed to be?
I dont know path of exile in detail but being a top mmo player has always struck me of an archivement in dedication of time much more then inherent skill. The learned skill the pros have just comes natural with enough dedication.
My general reaction to something like it is not more then . Wow “you” must really enjoy this particular game. Is that reaction really worth cheating for?
Do we think he lacks the general life experience to be able to reflect on the common knowledge that a pro failed more times then the beginner has tried?
I known Elon is neurodivergent if not full on autistic but so am i and i cant make sense of this guys wims.
I think it comes down to what you said, but for the obscenely rich.
A pro has failed more than a beginner has tried. The obscenely rich have been told ‘yes’ more than the poor have had the opportunity to even ask questions.
You can learn this type of failed behavior just like a bad habit, and boy howdy is he the master of it.
He’s already demonstrated first hand he doesn’t know how to navigate the UI for someone who has invested time to be a top player. It’s obvious to anyone that’s spent more than a couple days in any game.
Such a /technology/ post.
There is technology in it, like a computer game.
It’s got Elon, so it must be Technology. ;)
How do you prove it’s legit?
You apparently have a hateful right wing chud perform “secret” acts that will result in them getting a big push on a new platform.
Also: Friendly reminder that the Vice of today is not the Vice of olde and that “Waypoint” is a brand that is run by one rando (who likely uses a LOT of AI to generate content…) and has none of the social or political values the old Waypoint had. For the old Waypoint, you are looking at Remap Radio (the three founder/owners are Ricardo Contrarez, Rob Zacny, and Patrick Klepek and they semi-regularly collaborate with Austin Walker and, when she is available, BAFTA Award Winner Natalie Watson. And Janet Garcia is a “newbie” but is fucking awesome).
He can’t at this point
The company behind POE can do it easily with IP address.
E.G. one of the bits is that the character was online and playing while he was on a call with several EU heads of state.
The main ones are that for the rank of the character, he would absolutely have to know the game damn near perfectly. In the video he put out, its very obvious he doesn’t know a damn thing about it. As in just blindly autoattacking, even when he doesnt have mana to attack, not knowing how the map nodes work, going into a run with a full inventory, claiming how bad his gear based on the equip level alone when its functionally tue best possible gear you can get, and that the character’s auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where you put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices.
The character’s auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where they put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices as a way to move ingame currency around between mules.
I thought poe2 didn’t have a real AH, just currency market. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to say.
Rest of the stuff checks out though.
He was selling shit gear for many times its worth, thats all. Sorry, never played PoE for long and uncertain about poe2.
It doesn’t have an auction house that automatically sells gear but, it does a an official website that allows you to list gear for sale. One of “Musk’s” listings (Maybe the only? I don’t remember) is a garbage crossbow for 18 divine orbs. That’s an ass load of currency in SC trade, let alone HC.
Oh, I see what you’re saying. Thanks for the explanation!
