I hope every article uses that picture of him for everything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 47 minutes ago

Yo, did they change the photo? I'm only seeing it in the thembnail

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 hours ago

This is a distraction. Ignore it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

I don't even want to joke about this anymore.

Stay strong and resist folks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

Idk how anyone can say he is not a real gamer after the nazi salutes seen side by side with his twitter history.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Of course he is

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure if there was actual worthy news this wouldn't be reported on however there is obviously nothing else happening so clearly we need to talk about this instead.

This is a consumer board at its core.

Man who never earned anything a day in his life continues streak by not earning video game achievements.

What a loser.

I totally understand people who use cheat engine or similar to break games and to have fun seeing what they can do. Skipping content. Whatever.

But those that cheat to be able to boast… pathetic.

And then he’s like “well, everyone’s doing it.” 🙄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

I mainly just have Cheat Engine in order to reduce save scumming in Monster Rancher and keep monsters I like alive longer. I specifically avoid doing anything with the online because I know it's not fair to everyone else. Though some use mods and cheats for the same game just to make it harder.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 14 hours ago (15 children)

Honestly, one of the big reasons multiplayer sucks now is because of cheaters. You wanna cheat in a single-player game? I couldn't give less of a shit. But giving yourself an unfair advantage while playing against other people is pathetic and ruins the game for everyone...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Trolls & Cheaters & Just downright punk behaviour is something I don't tolerate in MultiPlayer

Which is why I opt for more Role-playing games like Space station 13 & Barotrauma (Not saying that there's no crappy behaviour there, it's just that those games are high-ceiling & there are less instances)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

This ^

If I'm playing by myself I'll use cheats if I feel like it, like messing around, or if I wanna get that ONE unlock that I've been trying at for months now and I just wanna be done with it....

But in an online game lad? There's no glory in ruining other people's fun.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Exactly. I never cheat in MP games, but I use guides and whatnot in SP fairly often.

If you're cheating in MP, just don't play MP.

Well, since the only persons on his mind appear to be Trump and himself: Yeah, everybody's cheating.

If he says he’s top 20 player and it turns out he bought that account then what does that mean for the credibility of his other supposed achievements? Oops.

[–] [email protected] 81 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It tracks with everything else. He also bought Tesla in order to become a 'founder'.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

Not just bought either, he had to sue them too in order to be called a founder.

That's missing some crucial information regarding him being a Nazi asshole - amongst other things.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

He's a 50 year old manchild

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 hours ago

You know gamers are called man-child, he is something else

A sociopath

[–] [email protected] 41 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

This goes against the TOS for both games. If you play either, I highly recommend flooding them with reports on that. It would be great to see him banned. He'll probably just set up a new account and start again, but it'll cost him and you know he'll keep cheating so you can just rinse and repeat.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (3 children)

You're talking about a guy that could pay 100 million dollars for a new account and not even notice. He obviously wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for something like this. There is no financial cost you can force on him that will change his behavior.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Wealth redistribution I can get behind, even if it doesn’t stop him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but the money’s partly going to Blizzard so yeah…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, but it will annoy him.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Still, doesn't hurt to try.

Elon Musk attempts to draw attention away from his drug fuelled gaff

Come on, you fuckin morons

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago

Said the guy who called a Sieg Heil a "gaff"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I enjoy that the meta image is him doing the nazi salute

Not that I like him doing it, just that it's being shown around.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 14 hours ago

Known liar founding lying. More obvious observations at 5!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Whaabout being a founder of Tesla?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

What do Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning have to do with Elon lying about having mad gaming skills?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

It shows you a trend. What other things has he lied about?? He knows more about manufacturing than anyone else... Look at the POS cybertruk

Full self driving will be here next year... Yep 2016 is here and gone, no FSD...

Starship will get us to the mars...

The manchild is a compulsive liar and a fucking Nazi

Because it’s the same thing. He’s boasting about other people’s achievement. He gives them money and pretends he did it.
