This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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?
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.
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.
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
For once Asmongold's outrage baiting worked in our favour
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.
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
Who the fuck cares. Elon, is average moron playing average game. If this was something important, I could understand, but this is nothing more than attention whoring.
The Worst Person You Know
Asmon isn't even close to to the top of the worst people I know. What even is that title?
Yeah, what a joke. Especially when Musk is right there in the headline 😞.
The funniest part to me is that the wealthiest person in the world is playing a f2p game.
I guess because VICE is hard right now they view Asmongold as somebody really bad?
It's a reference to an Onion headline
Who the hell is Asmon? I thought the headline was referencing Elon.
It's Asmongold. He's a relatively popular gaming streamer who also does commentary but some of his political opinions have been a bit questionable.
Ah alright, I've yet to watch a single streamer.
Keep doing that tbh
Ha! I was literally gonna put down" keep it that way" and your comment popped up. Great mind!
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. ;)
If Musk is ready to lie about his gaming achievements then can we really trust anything that comes out from his mouth.
I mean who cares if Musk is bad at POE2 but the fact that he goes to such lengths to lie about how good he is in a videogame tells a lot about his character and personality.
He made a post using command line lingo too, but anyone with even basic knowledge of those commands can tell you that both the syntax and the way he alludes to them are wrong.
It's the equivalent of slinging a guitar in a picture to look cool but pressing the side with the strings against your belly.
I bet if Musk played DBD he'd be the first one on the damn hook, every, fucking, time.
Have you heard his opinions on chess? He doesn’t play because it’s too easy.
That’s exactly what someone who sucks at it would say.
I'm honestly shocked that you have to ask someone if you can trust him.
He is without a doubt the least trustworthy person on the entire planet. Even less so than Putin i would say.
Musk has his loyal fanbase who have been impressed by his achievements with Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX.
Honestly he seemed all right before 2020's but after that he's slowly become more and more radicalized.
Fortunately his behaviour is alienating a lot of his fanbase, unfortunately they're getting replaced by more far right fans.
Actually it’s a dumb point because everyone and their mom already know he got boosted. Both of them should shut up and stop showing their face in public thank you very much.
how does elon even have time to play video games if he’s the most busiest and hardcore guy of all time?
FYI, Vice is now a far-right mouthpiece https://theintercept.com/2024/11/19/vice-news-right-wing-trumpism/
I mostly remember it as reporting abput random ass topics "transsexual ketamine dealers of Uruguay" type of stuff.
The craziest part of that article is
Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company's (...) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).
So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn't see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.
I shouldn't be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.
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 can‘t even tell for sure who of the two you’re talking aboout but I agree either way.
