This is not a Democrat VS Republican post. It’s not! I promise.
I’m a gamer.
Some like to crochet or knit; others love to read. There are those that work word puzzle books and those who play card games. Me? I love playing video games. I started 100 years ago and I’ve spent who knows how many hours on Everquest and World of Warcraft. I couldn’t name all the games I’ve played but I can name the one I’m playing now.
Path of Exiles 2
Path of Exiles 2 is still in beta but already has a huge following because of its long-running predecessor, Path of Exiles (1). I’m currently playing PoE2… and so is Elon!
But does Elon cheat??
Elon live streams himself playing the game and many have picked up on why they believe he paid for someone else to level his character (boosting) while claiming how great he is for doing it all himself. Elon has bragged that he’s one of the best gamers in the world and his PoE2 character is hardcore. Hardcore is a choice you make on character creation that means if you die… even one time… you’re done. You start over.
This game is brutal, you guys. Elon supposedly leveled his character to 97 (of 100) before dying. For perspective, I created a normal character, have reached level 82, and I’ve literally died way over 100 times. Elon was 7th on the leaderboard for millions of players before his character croaked. But was it actually him that leveled this character like he says… or was it some dude in India getting paid by the richest man on the planet?
My first concern regarding Elon was when he dated Amber Heard — and now this. 🙄
I think it’s awesome that Elon’s playing PoE2. I also think it’s lame when anyone says they’re great at anything if they’re not. Thing is, I LIKE Elon Musk… and I sure hope those accusing him are wrong.
I respect authenticity more than I do success. What say you?
Today is FRIGID! 🥶
Still trying to figure out what kind of bird is in the photo above. A red head and chest with a cream underbelly combined with dark wings and back doesn’t produce any search results to help me identify him. But whatever it is… it’s a brave little dude to be out and about this morning. BRRR!
Now you know: Brian Acton was rejected by Facebook for a job in 2009. And that same year, he & Jan Koum “took a chance” and co-founded WhatsApp together. Then in 2014 after amassing 450 million global users, they sold WhatsApp to Facebook in a deal that reportedly made both of them a multi-billionaire.
