Actually I just remembered that, even some 20 years ago (possibly more) in France, we used to describe OP characters in videogames as "craqués", which could mean "broken" or "cracked", so I was not weirded out by this one, as the meaning is similar enough.
I wonder how "cracked" came to be and whether this is one of the only contemporary instance where some French slang may have influenced the English one somehow? Probably just a coincidence.
It's always some sht black ppl say, that some white middle school aged kid picks up and starts spamming, than the other kids spam it and change the meaining to reflect whatever they want, cracked means fucked
Video game context, it means you're doing hella well, you're tweaking, just seemingly on one with how well you are doing. So like crazy is accurate, but crazy good more like, insanely good to the point you seem unwelll. Idk it's hard to describe, but try hard basically became a compliment and they call ppl cracked now to represent that.
But he was using cracked to describe how good he was. Cracking would make sense, maybe even I'm the crack or some such, but I'm cracked just doesn't hit with me.
So you could say he was all he was cracked up to be
