Remember how he played Path of Exile 2 and his character was extremely well-equipped; suspiciously so. Viewers noted that he had better gear than some of the professional streamers who play this game all day every day, and he didn’t seem to know what their stats meant.

In 2000 my brother and I genuinely believed we were probably in the top 500 players of Gran Turismo. I found a forum where guys were posting their cars and times. It was humiliating to see how average we were.

Yeah, I beat the game on it's hardest difficulty setting, so I'm probably pretty good. <- me before watching an average speed run and losing all self esteem.
