He needs to pretend to be a top tier gamer to win the affection of internet strangers because he craves validation and attention.
Natural born grifter and liar.
To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that's one thing. He's claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it's meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they've been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say... on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user... and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.
It ain't that hard of a game!
Yes but he has no time for this sh*t of course. If you want to reach this kind of levels, you need to play hours and hours per day. And every day of the week. Nobody has time for that.
Precisely, whenever I heard Diablo 4 I had my doubts, at the least I expected he paid others to grind out some of the time sink stuff. Should've picked a game thats less time intensive, though I'm sure he'd cheat anyways.
