I've actually been using gaming for this recently

The problem in todays world is that you can succumb to addictive passive consumption habits with smartphones and social media so easily that it can almost make you vegetable-like. In that context playing through games(especially on harder difficulties) is actually preferable from a cognitive standpoint imo.

Instead of picking up my phone lately, I've been plowing through some single player gems on the Steam Deck OLED. Silent Hill 2 Remake with PC customizations is an absolute godsend; got it running at a pretty consistent 30 fps and it looks GORGEOUS on my OLED.

Watch the first 5 minutes of this interview released today where Elon talks video games with Rogan, he says playing videos games, especially on very hard difficulty, helps him clear his mind and focus.

that was hilarious, thanks for recommending. I love how childishly enthusiastic Roegan becomes about shit. Duuude that course would make you 26% better duuude doctors should totally be required to take video game classes duuuudee

 

[poppabk]

He probably had 7 or 8 of his kids just so he could have them play Diablo for him.

 

[Lokaum D+]

if you are billionaire, you don't have time to actually play the game. It's all about bragging rights so you can gloat about it on twitter.

damn, if a billionaire don't have time to play o fucking game, what are we all doing in this forum ??

He can actually play games for the rest of his life 24/7 without working a single day if he wants and he still ll have money for at least 3 generation.

Surgeons who had played video games in the past for more than 3 h/wk made 37% fewer errors, were 27% faster, and scored 42% better overall than surgeons who never played video games.

The Impact of Video Games on Training Surgeons in the 21st Century

Background Video games have become extensively integrated into popular culture. Anecdotal observations of young surgeons suggest that video game play contributes to performance excellence in laparoscopic surgery. Training benefits for surgeons who play video games should be...

The impact of video games on training surgeons in the 21st century - PubMed

Video game skill correlates with laparoscopic surgical skills. Training curricula that include video games may help thin the technical interface between surgeons and screen-mediated applications, such as laparoscopic surgery. Video games may be a practical teaching tool to help train surgeons.

It’s funny to see people here shitting on a someone who reinvented EVs, kicked off a new space age, and made Twitter better less of a cesspool.

 

[Ribi]

I don’t understand how he could even have the time, unless there’s some element of pay2win. I’ve got a full time job and there’s zero chance I’d be able to put in enough hours to be top 100 in any game. That’s wild.

Wym all you do is sit and watch the money come in

 

[Gp1]

I love how he use "Elon Musk" on the battle.net and not something like R3v3rseR0ketdr1ver1971.

The man simply does not give a fuck

You would've only needed a few hours to be top 100 in Concord.

 

[Deerock71]

Cope harder.

Man who owns X shit posts on X. 'kay.

 

[Portugeezer]

I guess this explains why Twitter’s value has been tanking lol

It wasn't worth what he paid

When you have "Fuck you money" you get all the time back. It's the beta cucks like me working a wage cage to pay the bills that has yet to find the time to even get 2 missions deep into the expansion LOL

That's exactly what I was going to say lol.

Then again, the head of massive companies don't need to work, beyond a few key meetings.

Pulling a Randy PItchford by having interns complete 'cheeves for him maybe?

He probably plays from 2 to 6am when mortals need to sleep.

Carmack vouches for Elon's Diablo accomplishments being legitimate and through Elon's own hands.

I'm surprised that in the last few podcasts that were esp huge, he didn't make a single mention about bears.

He does seem like the personality to use someone else's labor for his own prestige.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Just finished watching the interview, was a good one. You could tell the Peanut story got to him, it did to me too. What an utter bunch of evil demonic wankers.

 

[\m/etalStorm]

Now i want to see Carmack and Musk playing Quake 3 Arena 1-on-1.

 

[Gp1]

I would love to see a Musk vs Rogan Q1DM4 deathmatch.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Explain. Give a full 3,000 word essay breaking down the personality to prestige triggers.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I mean, you think this fucking hairline and face doesn't clap cheekz and insult 13 year olds online?

 

[RoboFu]

What-if that's not actually him?

It's just an opinion.

But, it seems obvious to me that Elon Musk is a shameless attention hog who responds poorly to people who are more qualified than himself telling him he can't have his way.

I don't think billionaires are bad people or that they don't work but he really seems to eff things up royal when he is left to his own devices.

Also, my own opinions aside, doesn't he have more important things to be doing than messing around with Diablo 4? X has lost 3/4 of it's value. That's crazy to me that he is grinding away on D4 while that is happening.

So he's not allowed to have extracurricular time and enjoy playing games? Odd take.

He didn't buy Twitter to instantly profit, nor were they worth the price he paid. He and his investors knew this from the get-go. That wasn't the mission operandi.

Elon was actually doing Diablo runs while talking about the election on Twitter Live an hour or two ago. You could hear him clicking away.

I believe it. Longtime Tesla investors know about his love of vidya. It's been well documented for many years now

Grimes actually complained at some point after they broke up that Elon played too many video games in his spare time

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

nah it's all those H100s

 

[Gamerfan81]

Damn, all the leftover members from the purple forum are angry as hell with the responses in this thread. lol

 

[sachos]

This is self reported though no? Its not like the automatic leaderboards from D3? There are less than 900 submissions on that site last i checked. Still, really impressive levels of gaming.

 

[awwr999999]

Anyone played Musk's game?

 

[awwr999999]

Studies show it helps improve brain function.

This is true for a bunch of psychedelics.

Guy claims he works 100 hours a week. Was always bullshit with the amount of time he plays games and shit posts on twitter.

[DonkeyPunchJr]

A lot of people here failed the midwit check, second time I've seen it this week on GAF

He literally streams himself playing it on Twitter, it's easy to confirm it is himself playing the game

Dude works like 18 hours a day and plays a little Diablo IV between running his 5 companies

One thing I've realized about most people is they literally cannot fathom that someone can be more intelligent, work harder, or simply sleep less than them. It's the only explanation for how some people are so mentally retarded they don't believe a man can have the time and intelligence needed to land rockets upright, run the world's only successful electric car company, shitpost on Twitter, and play Diablo IV all in the same human lifespan as them without inventing some headcanon where it didn't happen

Even though it literally did

Yeah but he’s mean and I’m nice.

 

[Mattyp]

Guy claims he works 100 hours a week. Was always bullshit with the amount of time he plays games and shit posts on twitter.

He's working constantly, I know this doesn't make sense to wagies here that just go to their job 9-5 and call it a day and think unless he's clocking in somewhere he's not working. He would be on his phone around the clock and always needs to be reachable, his work is talking, making decisions, and everything else based around the massive companies he controls, he does that from wherever he is. Be it shit posting or playing Diablo.

Some of my own employees do my fucking head in because they never see me on the tools and think I'm just fucking around, I'm making sure you have work to go to tomorrow. Working 100 hours a week in his position wouldn't be hard at all, he's answering that thing from 5am until midnight every single day of the week, thats work.

Bro has like 10-12 kids.
Granted, his pullout game is trash, but if he has that much time to smash, he definitely has time to game.

Not true, I also have a full time job + kids and I was #91 of the world in Concord.

 

[Breakfast_At_Noon]

Must be testing his latest robots.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Yeah but he’s mean and I’m nice.

I mean I get you but nice people rarely change the world, make historical events happen, and get remembered by future generations

 

[thatJohann]

of course he is, that incel nerd.

 

[Ishma3L]

Dude, he's a billionaire. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.

Yea, like pay someone else to use his official account and play for him.

I know that may seem outlandish to us. But I'm not a billionaire with stacks of fuck you money laying around.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Would you put it out of the realm of possibility if, say... he were Doing Pit Runs while discussing important matters with the SpaceX Team on Zoom?
