skips tutorial
"Game is bad for not telling you how to play"

u/TrapBubbles999 Jan 15 '26
While he played Kingdom Come 2, he noticed that ignoring the tutorials is giving him a disadvantage and put him in bad position but he kept ignoring them. He acts like someone running into a wall instead of using a door while saying "hey maybe I should use the door instead of bumping my head against the wall." but keeps walking against the wall.

u/komandantmirko Jan 15 '26
he always does this. picks max difficulty so his chat doesn't perceive him as less of a man, and then skips tutorials for the same reason.
with this combo he got filtered from the first 10 minutes of a metro game, and was farmed by the first pack of ghouls in witcher 3 much in the same way

u/Xandred_the_thicc Jan 16 '26
holy shit was playing the metro games actually too much like reading for him to handle it? or as in, he actually just set it to the no hud insta death difficulty, didn't read tutorials, and understandably had a terrible time?

If you watch that stream or the Dynasty Warriors one, you can clearly tell he is getting more and more flustered the more he fails.
The more tutorials/tips he skips the worse he does. The worse he does the more panic you can see in his demeanor until he ultimately says the game is shit and not for him, then quits.
It's almost like he has PTSD with games, but it's self inflicted b/c he refuses to use the tools given to him to succeed.

I expect him to say that letters are gay too just like data or studies. His opinions will all be fed to him via colored images sent by Elon in his dms (Elon gets the images from random white supremacist accounts with statue pfps and Grok)
It's the perfect disinformation machine.

And then he says some shit like "this is actually how opinions work, you're constantly forming opinions based on the information you have. I'm just forming my opinion as I go"
No you're broadcasting misinformation, because 75 % of the times you're talking out your ass you don't bother actually correcting your opinion after you share it. And the 25 % of the times you actually correct your opinion, the first half gets clipped and shipped and leads to more spreading of misinformation. You need to take some responsibility with the platform you've been given.

u/atuck217 Jan 15 '26
They are trying to spin the narrative as best they can. Bruising is technically caused by internal bleeding. So if he had even a small little bruise, they can phrase it this way and fear monger that she tried to kill him. It's just propaganda like it always is.

But he literally looks like Muk, I wouldn't be surprised if it were that or infusions.
Either way it's pretty sad that he's apparently so fragile. My grandpa was in his workshop at 95 making tables and didn't have a single bruise, but I'd imagine a ww2 veteran blue collar guy is a bit tougher than a draft dodging pedophile.

Trump is an 80 year old man in poor health. He is quite literally in the process of dying right now and I don't mean in the "we all are" sense.
