I had no idea Elon is one if the best Diablo players in the world and was one of the best Quake players. I’m blown away.

Now he’s going to help run the great country of America. I can imagine him coming home after work and saying “I saved America a few billion today and now it’s time to dig into a Diablo session for night” 🤣

Would love to know the specs of his Diablo machine.

I do not share the positive outlook on what he will help bring about, but I do hope some good will come of it, whatever that may be.

I am not an American, but the USA's policies affect the entire world. I wish all Americans the best, wherever they lie on the political spectrum, and hope that their worst fears do not come true while also hoping that those who got their wish will not regret what will eventually come about.

"Out of touch billionaire who cares way too much about his public image and who is known to sabotage projects that would help the public is now influencing the decision making of an entire country"

So business as usual I guess

No direct rule saying current events can't be discussed, but these threads very often escalate out of control.

We're paying attention and this thread may be closed without notice.

Behave people

Where does he find the time?

(I only ever played the first 1990s Diablo and remember that it was a huge grindy time sink)

could save it by us listing prominent politicians and public figures who have mentioned playing vintage games 😀

I think more of them have, but don't mention it because there is still a notion that it isn't viewed positively

Remind me how many tens of billions in value Twitter has lost since this Diablo-playing guy bought it.

Is the election over then? We learned in 2020 not to assume anything too soon.

It's over.

The OP have requested the thread to be closed. The discussion so far is not going in the right direction and becoming off-topic of Elon being a former Diablo and Quake player.
