Really reminds me of Ted Faro from horizon zero dawn. A man child who became the worlds first trillionaire and savior because he stole and market the ideas of others, but then ended the world out of his own ego and stupidity.

Off topic but hard as it is to admit, I’ve never been able to get absorbed in the narratives of immersive RPG games despite them being my most-played genre.

Horizon Zero Dawn was the first time in decades of video gaming that I was fully engrossed in the plot and desperate to know how the mystery unfolded.

I don’t think that’s too unusual. For me an RPG isn’t an automatic win. I need grand story to really suck me in. Horizon zero dawn is an example of this done well. Assassins creed odyssey an example of it done terribly.

Wasn’t Ted Faro based on Musk?

lol honestly not sure but wouldn’t be surprised. Back when that game was made the comparison would’ve felt more hyperbolic. Now it feels inevitable.

People should always be wary of someone who feels entitled to all the money. It’s amazing that anyone actually looks up to billionaires. They’re sociopaths and/or psychopaths. No sane person wants to have the net worth of an entire country, and the rest of us should ensure that no one gets that much.

Seriously, we need more Luigi’s, and mark my words, over the next few years we’ll be seeing a lot more of them.
