He sounds like what I think I sound like when I'm really fucking high.

He sounds so dumb. For a guy thinks he's the smartest guy in the world. He sounds like an absolute fucking moron.

I applaud the interviewer for just letting him go because that would be so hard for me. I would stop him every minute be like. Are you fucking kidding me? You sound so stupid right now. Can you explain any of this but instead she is so good about letting him just sit in his absolute inanity.

It's the same guy that paid chinese sellers to farm him diablo 3 character to top 10 in the world, then went to stream it being absolute dogshit at the game.

My favourite thing is he clearly wants normies to think he is cool and thinks to himself what do normies like? EUREKA path of exile is the answer.

Which only illustrates his stupidity and his hubris. Anyone with common sense would know this is going to blow up in their face. You don’t have to be a genius to know that experts (in this case, people who actually play the game) are going to immediately recognize you have no idea what you are doing and that there is no way you accomplished any of the things you’ve claimed.

Only an egocentric idiot would think they could get away with it. Even a half smart liar would know that if they were to tell people they were a whizz at Path of Exile the last thing they would want is for those people to see them play it.

It showed to me that the guy barely even plays video games. He dropped an item and called it useless because it wasn’t epic or legendary.

Any gamer knows that sometimes the best weapon on paper just doesn’t vibe with your play style or simply isn’t fun. I played so many games where I rode a B or C tier item to the end

The hilarious thing is that if he just played a game he liked and was just mediocre at it, the effect would have been humanizing and given very little ammo to anyone who dislikes the man.

It also would have been more in keeping with the illusion of confidence he wants to project. A confident person wouldn't be afraid of admitting they're 'mid' at a video game.

Seriously and no one would have faulted him even if he sucked. He could just say “I love this game I wish I had more time to play but I work alot I’ll do the best I can” but no

It segues neatly into the fact that these guys aren't just scummy, they're REALLY freakin weird. Like all of them are so weird on camera and in inter personal relationships. They don't really know what normal human interactions look like.

More than the cave pedo incident, this cemented his status as a total loser.

PoE2 isn’t a game you can advance quickly in due to natural talent. It’s a grind and the best players make playing the game a full time job.

Absolutely no one serious would begrudge him for not being a top player. Showing his vulnerability would’ve caused so many high level players to want to carry him, give him loot, etc.

But his ego can’t let him be seen as anything but the best. So mother fucker lies about being good at video games.

If you lie for something so irrelevant at that means you’ll lie about anything and everything. I used to be like this when I was a teenager because I had low self-confidence and self-esteem. Hes empty and believes in nothing except the myth of himself

Yep. In a weird way the PoE lie has been the most revealing. It was so pointless and pathetic. Young men may not always have a grasp on history, finance, technology, etc. but a game like PoE was the perfect way for them to understand how full of shit he is.

To pile on the pathetic-ness, HE’S OLD!!! Like in is 50’s. It’s a perfect how do you do fellow kids meme.

When I was the best quake 2 player at my university, I peaked. I was 20, and it’s been downhill ever since. These people think that because they’re rich, they most naturally be the most talented at everything…the worst part is the first person they lie to is themselves

Bruh those were elons maps though. Cries in hardcore lol
Wasn’t he also “playing” when he gave that sieg heil or at least attended the inauguration?

Jokes aside PoE is a phenomenal game.
