I don’t know if you have ever been in the dark lands of Sanctuary, which is a fantasy world born from the archangel Inarius and Lilith, daughter of Mephisto. Diablo 4 is the latest sequel to Blizzard’s famous role-playing game set in an arid land, with mysterious plots, secret sects of occultists, and various characters you can play, including the Enchanter, the Necromancer, the Cutthroat, the Barbarian, the Druid, and so on.
The good thing is that perhaps you don’t know that among avid players there is a very particular one, who you may have encountered in another form in multiplayer. I’m talking about Elon Musk, who announced that he was one of the best players in the world, dedicating hundreds of hours to it, and now he has reached the one hundred and fiftieth level, the top. How long did it take? Just forty-five days, devil of a Musk! In a video on X he demonstrates how he manages to overcome a very difficult level, with very tenacious monsters to fight, in just two minutes. I would have thought he was more of a Starfield guy, but deep down inside Starfield, with Space X, he lives there in reality.
But one wonders: with all he has to do, where does he find the time to play so much? Simple: I seem to have understood that Musk’s time spent working merges with his free time, in the sense that he manages to do many things at the same time, he is multitasking. “You can learn so many life lessons by playing at maximum speed and maximum difficulty,” he said. In short, in spite of the usual sociologists who criticize video games because then you become someone who doesn’t do a damn thing in life.
By the way: the protagonists of the legendary series The Big Bang Theory were also passionate about fantasy role-playing games (I think
were World of Warcraft, also by Blizzard), and in one episode Howard Wolowitz reluctantly goes to wash the dishes for charity, complaining about it and who does he find next to him washing the dishes? Guess what: Elon Musk.
