He said Kerbal Space Program is a good game
He says a lot of shit about video games, but when it's time to put his keyboard where his mouth is he's shown time and time again to be phony.
Mostly because I don't think he actually understands what he is doing, the small amount of absorbed about what he does kinda reminds me of one of my great uncles who only has played Wasteland for the last 37 years and then played Wasteland 2 and 3 recently. Sure my uncle had fun but at least for the first half or so of wasteland 2 he clearly didn't fully understand what he was doing, he recently beat Metro and has clearly fully adapted though. Point is Musk seems like he doesn't have the required base skills to actually play a game well and hasn't put in the time to actually get gud.
He gets 718 things wrong and 2 things right
Also polytipia is more complex than chess 😐😑
To be fair, you need to have a very high IQ to understand Polytopia.
At least 60
Yeah but unfortunately the things he's known for isn't video game reviews and people still listen to him for some reason. I once he thought he was trying to do better things but he must have fired that PR company, they did him good like 15 years ago, least compared to his current public image.
That said Kerbal Space Program is awesome, I managed to orbit the planet a few times over the years never landed on another moon or planet, wait maybe once but he wasn't coming back. Hah I wonder how many Elon landed, without someone playing for him.
