    I would generally agree but PoE is brutal and early game involves dying a lot. The fact that he thought dying was a problem is a WAY bigger tell that he’s never played the game. Dying POE is like dying in a souls game, it shouldn’t phase you in the least.

        Yeah I’ve probably dropped a few million blood echos by this point. I have straight up stopped playing for days after those kinds of losses. But, the brutality is why I’m playing.

      The way I heard it (I didn’t watch the stream) was that he logged in and toasted like three hardcore characters (you know, because he’s so hardcore) then rolled up something new, died to the tutorial, and left.

      Dying is in fact a problem when all your characters are hardcore characters. That’s why the only people who play hardcore are masochists and whoever Elon has on the payroll to be a masochist for him.
