      Int/Dex build, so mostly mage with some weapon skills. Shield in left hand, staff in right with rapier & claws fast switch.

      Change armor from heavy to medium for fast roll or tank.

      Move talismans around a lot.

      Many small hits in a row to damage stack is important.

      Summon!

      Literally admitting that he uses the “easy mode” button as the cherry on top lmao

        That whole thing is genuinely confusing.

        The complete lack of coherency and talking about mechanics that do not exist or are not relevant is the kind of thing chatGPT comes up with if you ask it to invent a new build and explain how it works.

          Yeah, it’s all over the place because he doesn’t understand any of the game mechanics. Something like “I’m still figuring it out, but I’m enjoying int magic and dex weapons” is what a normal person would say. my-hero has to pretend to be a 1337 gamer to impress dorks on the internet.

    wow he spends some of his free time gaming? that must mean that he’s WORKING EVEN HARDER to make those billions in the time he isn’t spending gaming. So he’s not just making 84684684168146814 dollars per second he draws breath through sheer hard work, he’s actually making 18146841941984984984928942928429494982928 dollars per microsecond instead, once you subtract all the gaming where he’s not working galaxy-brain

    he’s got all the money in the world — enough to do literally anything he wants to do — and he’s still a miserable loser with no satisfaction in his life. amazing microcosm of america and indeed capitalism writ large

    It’s not a big deal? It’s a huge fucking deal, mom. Every time you answer the goddamn phone and disconnect me it counts on a loss on my record. That’s fucking permanent, mom. Everyone online is going to think your son is a fucking loser, I hope that’s what you wanted.

    That just sounds like autism. Y’all don’t get to be ableist just because the target is a billionaire. He won’t see your comments, but your autistic comrades (including me) will.

            Because I see people making fun of autistic traits. You think ableism requires a specific mention of a disability?

                Thank you for telling me, an autistic person, that I’m wrong about an autistic trait and that I’m wrong for finding offense in people making fun of said trait. Where would I be without NT “allies”?

              Just because some traits are exhibited by autistic people doesn’t mean that all people who do are autistic. The context can change whether we judge something as acceptable or not.

              I am not going to try to a layperson diagnosis of Musk so I can’t say whether he’s on the spectrum or not, but he at least has demonstrated that he’s a cruel, abusive, emotionally manipulative, immature manchild. These are not traits that are intrinsic to autism, he’s genuinely just a shit human being on every level. Some traits do lead to autistic people having reactions with some similarities, but I don’t wanna just jump to the defense of Musk because a thing he’s done is similar to the behavior of an autistic person. There is potential for a ton of behavioral overlap between autistic people and allistic people, and for behaviors exhibited by people with a whole host of other causes.

              I am on the spectrum and while I’m loathe to do the “I’m X and I don’t find Y offensive” thing I just don’t see it. Just stating my perspective, I’m genuinely sorry that this stuff has bothered you, but I am trying to seek understanding yknow?

                He has literally said he’s autistic.

                Have you never had your trust betrayed? Even for something small it can feel like absolute shit. It’s literally about trouble regulating emotion, a very common autistic trait.

                  I find it kind of worrying that you’re being more charitable to Elon Musk than someone who has stated outright that they’re trying to come to an understanding of your viewpoint.

                  You say as you’re doing it.

                  Where I then say I am giving my perspective and this doesn’t make me inherently correct for being autistic. I’m explicitly stating that I’m not more correct or virtuous or something by stating my experience with autism and how it has influenced my own, personal perspective.

                  Have you never had your trust betrayed? Even for something small it can feel like absolute shit. It’s literally about trouble regulating emotion, a very common autistic trait.

                  Oh yes I have, and I understand it on the small and large scale betrayals. I have had the course of my life inexorably altered by the personal betrayal and lies of people I thought were close friends, who were also autistic. They were autistic people, who also happened to be scumfucks that were emotionally manipulative liars.

                  Which seems like the case with Musk. He is a condemnable piece of shit, and I don’t think his behaviors can be solely attributed to being ND, because as demonstrated by plenty of people here and around the world, there are plenty of good supportive kind neurodivergent people who may exhibit the same traits of autism as Musk, but are not reprehensible shitheads like this billionaire apartheid profiteering scumbag.

          You’re the one conflating all petulant and childish behavior with autism. I don’t behave this way and my neither does my equally autistic partner, so is “stable and mature” behavior also autistic?

      In the end, it’s impossible to say for sure whether Elon Musk has autism without a formal diagnosis. While his communication style and behavior may suggest that he is on the autism spectrum, there are other factors that could be at play.

      I don’t know if he got autism. For sure there are plenty of other reasons why he acts like that. With labels and without.

        I’ve already said this isn’t a bit. And I’ve gone on to give extensive explanation.

        Assuming that an autistic person calling out ableism is a bit is pretty shitty, whether or not you agree with the callout. Please don’t do that.

    “Heated G!mer Moments” where someone has to do a racism or a violence under justification of consuming a treat are not far off from “I’m drunk lol” excuses for roughly the same behavior.

    It’s already horrible people having enough social lubricant to be as horrible as they already were, waiting for expression.

    Fighting with Grimes about this is fucked up but the video game obsession/hyper fixation does seem potentially attributable to his Asperger’s tbh

    Hate him for being a terrible partner or a deadbeat CEO who prioritizes his video games over meetings with his employees

    Not for being an obsessed gamer
