    Any one of those is damning enough to show he’s a snake oil “idea guy” and a terrible leader, and you threw in the whole works with the kitchen sink. Well done.

    A couple more that might be worth mentioning:

    • He’s a neglectful and absent parent, according to his daughter that disowned him.
    • He’s also a shit person and bigot, by evidence of dead naming his trans daughter and acting like his “son” died.
    • He pays people to play video games for him, lying and pretending that the records and accomplishments on his account are his own achievements.
    • He claims to be a “free speech absolutist” while hypocritically censoring certain words on Twitter and trying to silence people who say negative things about him and his actions.

      Also very good ones.

      I’ll throw in one more: At one point he went on an arc or ‘era’ on Twitter of using Deus Ex avatars and memes.

      He thinks he is JC, when in reality, he’s a more pathetic, attention seeking and far less competent Bob Page.

      He is the ultimate poser, and I hope he crash lands on Mars and never comes back.

      … what do you want to bet he never even realized you can save Paul?

          You know what you have to do now.

          Hehe!

          If you have the Steam version, the Deus Ex Revision mod is basically now the de facto megamod that includes a whole bunch of the most popular mods and more, with a whole whole bunch of toggleable mix and match options.

            It must be done!!

            Thanks for the heads up about the steam version. I’ve been thinking about getting a steam deck, this might push me over the edge

              I only have a single gripe with the steam deck:

              The way your thumbs work on the trackpads.

              Basically… if you use your pointer finger, as if they were laptop touch pads… they work 100%, super great.

              But… when you use your thumb… the angle your thumb is at functionally offsets your ability to go beyond about 80 to 90 % of the input register of the left edge of the right pad, or right edge of the left pad.

              This means edge spinning (analagous to holding a joycon max in a direction for max rotation speed) seems greatly lessened on those sides, and it seems like a right thumb can turn faster to the right than to the left.

              What valve needs to do is add another config option that basically allows you to… not just resize the extent of the ‘edge’ zone, but to recenter it, to actually shift it left and right, possibly up and down as well.

              Theres nothing wrong with the hardware, and it works perfectly when your finger is perpendicular to a pad, but it does this weirdness when using your thumb, at an angle, unless you have very spindly thumbs with a very claw like grip.

              But other than that, vanilla DX runs pretty well on a Deck, and oh I forgot to mention Revision adds in more support for different resolutions and HUD scaling.

        All very good things. I actually pre-ordered an X, 3, and CT before canceling every one due to failed promises usually around being twice the price of the original promise. Yeah so I’m a dumb dumb but at least I stuck to my budget before realizing he’s a total fucknutt.

          But you can admit you were duped.

          So, so many people are so vain and/or insecure that they will defend to basically their own deaths in some cases… that no, actually every decision they’ve ever made was good or great, and they never needed to learn anything, they’ve never been deceived.

          Seriously, kudos to you for being able to admit you made a mistake, and then remedied it.
