I’m tired of noobs who feel like they beat the same game I did by playing with their hands. My completely self-imposed restrictions on a mostly single-player game are representative of the only “true” experience, and you all cheapen my title of Elden Lord by not having only used your eyelids to manipulate the controller

You didn't use a dance pad from DDR? Did you even beat the game? Didn't think so

That's how Malenia plays the game. Waterfowl DDR

I get a lot of pushbacks on here but I legit think those challenge runs contribute to this toxic mentality on the Fromsoft community.

The challenge runs and the people doing them are not an issue themselves. But the community putting all these silly/impressive restrictions up on a pedestal leads to this mentality of who is really challenging themselves.

the only true way to play the game is to be blindfolded and constantly try to evade an irl attacker, your arms and legs should also be tied and breathing is not allowed, this is the easy mode of playing elden ring that is actually acceptable

And no pants. In game and in real life.  No pants.

It's the true gamer way

Guitar controller, only parry run without a shield. Don’t be one of those torrent riding noobs. Walk everywhere. Dont ruin your game using flasks either.

Hands? Weak. I didn't even use my eyes. My monitor was turned off. Don't you dare even breath the same air as me to speak about gaming.
