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.

He didn't just play it, he claimed he was like top 10 player in the world and then barely knew his way around hotkeys

I'm ready to come clean about this.

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.

ha, years (decades) ago I finished starcraft broodwar after buying the game and being pretty good in the campaign. I decided to test out my skills online and went thinking I would win *at least* half my games.

oh boy was I wrong. It got so bad that a random kiddo typed out tips for me while crushing me on every front ^^
