Wow. This is just about the most pitiful criticism of the man I've seen yet. iS ThIs a pSyOp mEaNt tO MaKe mUsK HaTeRs lOoK BaD - levels of petty. Mostly just makes me feel bad for the average streamer; The candle thing was almost creepy enough on its own to take the other issues at face value.

"Gaming Candle"

Gaming Candle?

Gaming CANDLE!?!?

Elon, hire me to fix your setup bud...

Also, to play your videogames because you're shit at them.

I Am Disgusted By Elon Musk ~~'s Gaming Setup~~

There, fixed.

But then it would be off-topic and I wouldn’t have an opportunity to post it here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think any Lemmy community would embrace the notion, regardless.

It’s a good article to share with your gamer friends though!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 hours ago

I'm so torn.

On the one hand, let people play games on shitty setups without shaming them.

On the other hand, what a fucking loser, lmao.

Very unimportant, but very funny and if it pisses Elon off it's worth the time it took to type it.

There are much better reasons to dislike him than these.

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

because you make fun of one thing you don't like, does that somehow mean you do not like them for only that? Does it mean you think that is the biggest reason to not like them?

[–] PunnyName 3 points 6 hours ago

Right? No mention of him being a Nazi / fascist.

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

Don't get fooled, trying to look "cool" is part of his pr campaign. Their favorite game they spend all day playing is hoarding money and power off people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

How does one look cool with that shit keyboard and headset?

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

Yeah, it's fucking embarrassing to have this rig as a middle class g*mer, much less an oligarch.

[–] slazer2au 11 points 8 hours ago

Big whoop. The nazi deserves to be a nobody.

You would certainly not be happy with my gaming setup. I have an apple Membrane keyboard because I’ve played way too long on old laptops and I got so used to them that I don’t like any others. Then I have a 10+ year old mouse that’s just perfect for my hands, I don’t get cramps.

And than I have a MacBook Air that is connected to the PC via Ethernet and steam link streams the game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

tbf Apple membrane keyboards are pretty nice for what they are. I wouldn't daily one, but I've frequently used them in a professional context.

Centre-aligned taskbars are nice though :(

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

I have one of the Samsung 49 inch super ultra wides. Not having a center aligned taskbar on this thing is atrocious. But on a normal 16:9 screen I prefer it on the left. Not sure where I'd like it on the screen he's using.

it's okay, king. let them enjoy their private personal moments.
