For anyone actually having played Diablo it's obvious. It's a grind game. To be among the best in the world you cannot just be the most skilled realtime, you gotta grind an amount of hours that... well, it's just ridiculous to think that he could spend that time on D4

If he’s as smart as he says he is, he’d be playing Diablo 2 instead.

* Path of Exile TWO

Like a lot of scams, if he were merely a very good player, probably people would be mildly impressed. But by claiming to be one of the top few in the WORLD the community dug in a bit more and realized he was just cheating.

It’s startlingly similar to Donald Trump’s many golf tournament “wins” which are all at his own courses and with no or few other competitors. And yet he brags about them. Actual golfers say he’s pretty mediocre.

I wonder if they are just out to fool others or how much they are lying to themselves? Or how much is just the pure habit of being a scammer who scams all the time and doesn't know any other way to be?

I think it’s a variation on the Big Lie. Everyone knows it’s a lie, but Musk and Trump can kick anyone out of their circles who calls them on it, leaving an inner circle of loyal sycophants only.

* Trump claimed to score a 67 at Bedminster last year (which would be well into professional golfer territory) and won an award from Jack Nicklaus

Just the most unbelievable out-there blatant lying

I do love it when celebrities have a secret talent that is unrelated from their main claim to fame. Magnus Carlsen is apparently a top-ranked fantasy football player, and Steve Martin has won Grammys for his bluegrass music. Malcolm Gladwell was a world-class runner.

Many dictators around the world claimed improbable sporting accomplishments. Castro claimed to be an MLB-caliber baseball player, Mao as swimmer, Kim Jong-il a golfer, Saddam Hussein a wrestler, Vladimir Putin a hockey player and martial artist. It’s actually a common thread.

Obama was a college basketball player, and one of the best players on the professors team at the University of Chicago, but he never claimed to be a pro and no one ever really mentioned it

The book about Obama’s basketball career is “The Audacity of Hoop”

The book about Trump’s golf career is “Commander-in-Cheat”

Both excellent titles

Which makes seeing him sink a 3 in long pants all the more satisfying

Likewise, I’ve always loved when athletes and rockstars are also academics. I knew that Brian May of Queen has a PhD in astrophysics, but didn’t know that from 2007-2013 he was the chancellor of a university in Liverpool.

When he dies his last word is going to be ‘Rosebud’

There's two personality types in games - people who like god mode, and those that believe in 'no cheating'. Guess it depends whether you like making things inevitable or like a true challenge.

No you’re wrong, and if he played golf, he’d totally get 11 straight hole-in-ones. Fact!

You gotta mark sarcasm someone could read this as literal.
