In the last minutes of the stream, Musk made a hardcore difficulty character he named Kekius Maximus, a 4chan-esque meme name he’s used as his display name on X. But Kekius Maximus was not long for the world. Musk died to one of the game’s tutorial bosses due to a bad connection, which subsequently concluded the stream, ending another sad, weird data point in the Elon Musk fake gamer saga.
The guy who claimed he was a top tier Quake player... who in actuality, was only scoring well in online matches, because he played on the T1 high speed, stupid expensive business line at his Zip2 business in the 90s... and performed terribly at LANs...
Well here he is 30 years later, now dying to a tutorial boss, partially due to the shitty connection of his own ISP.
Have been using starlink for more than 2 years at this point and can confirm from my view that there are very few connection issues. I’ve almost never looked at my connection as the issue when gaming since getting it. It either went down completely for a few hours (2 times I can remember) or was very solid.
EDIT: Not excusing or fanboying for Musk, as his personal direction has been questionable in recent years. But talking about the technology perspective.
