"Roughly 30 minutes in you can see him quickly ask the candle assistant to switch back to his headset mic..."

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah who gives a shit, way way way bigger issues to focus on

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

There, fixed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

The guy is a billionaire, he as no excuse to have a third rate gaming chair.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

There are much better reasons to dislike him than these.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Sure, but it doesn't mean you can't also dislike him for this. It's called multitasking!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Jiggle_Physics 1 points 11 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?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago

Big whoop. The nazi deserves to be a nobody.

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] 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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 13 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] 2 points 11 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.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Look, i hate elon like everybody else. You know because he's a fascist.

But this article is just so petty and shit. Like wtf is wrong with a centered taskbar? Get a grip on life.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

If you're okay with a centered task bar, then fuck you. /s

[–] boletus 2 points 9 hours ago

Centered task bar is goated

[–] [email protected] -4 points 14 hours ago

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