> or is he indeed faking it ?

On a domain side to nerdery: video games. There is zero doubt he is faking it entirely.

The streams he publishes on game like PoE or Elden Ring, have been long commented on online boards

And honestly, I can understand it entirely.

He has a public image of "geek/need hero" that is honestly inspiring. And that benefits him a lot because it bring people to trust his decisions. He has all the interest of the world to maintain this image.
