The article discusses the new highest-level Steam user, who has reportedly spent over half a million dollars to achieve this status. This user possesses a unique collection of items, including a Discord kitten and a $9,000 Counter-Strike gun that features a racial slur. The article also touches on the user’s potential rivalry with the individual currently in third place for the highest Steam level. It highlights the extravagant spending habits within the gaming community and raises questions about the implications of such investments in virtual goods.
I will never understand why people would spend so much money to be on top of such a leaderboard. And to spend so much money to have a gun that is offensive in a game.
For anyone else curious, “Discord kitten” is apparently a (mostly sarcastic) slang term for “suger baby”. I was really hoping for actual kittens, but alas.
Do I even want to know what Discord Kitten is?
And to answer most people’s question, this is commonly referred to as being unwell. It the result of an untreated addiction, plain and simple.
What’s with the “the article does x” retelling, it gives me the biggest ick. What’s wrong with just quoting a salient paragraph or two?
Stop giving these people attention, simple as.
