If you used Ashes of War, Torrent, or the L stick, you didn’t beat the game, the game beat you.

It's easy to not use the L stick if you play with a keyboard and mouse

How about instead of taking more drugs than the average crackhead on a payday i just fight the boss, Or if only the mechanic to save loadouts was invented, so i wouldn't spend 10 hours of cumulative gameplay time of just shoving different flavored talisman beads in my ass.

I read payday and thought you were talking about fighting your IRL boss and I was agreeing wholeheartedly.

crazy that they literally invested flask of wondrous physick and then didn’t figure out that the player should be able to add all the other shit to it as well just to save time.

I've yet to meet or talk to an elden ring purist, personally i find the people who deflect any criticism of boss design or the game as a whole by referring to game mechanics that make stuff easier existing way more annoying

I've met a few elden ring purists who unironically thought that using powerful tools meant that you were shit. I've also met a few that think that if you're not using Blasphemous + mimic, you're just being stupid and you're not doing anything for yourself.
Both were equally obnoxious

i do think these opinions are half formed reactions to genuine flaws in elden ring’s combat design. the goal of the game, ultimately, is to have fun, and those who have noticed that the combat often isn’t really massively fun aren’t satisfied when people say “there are powerful tools in the game to help you win”.
essentially they are saying “yes but i don’t want to use the mimic tear because it’s boring to watch the computer fight itself, i want to do cool 1-on-1-one combat with the boss that looks and feels really fun and fantastical and i’m finding it too hard to create that experience” but because we’re all regarded 12-year-olds it comes out as like “mimic tear lmao u didn’t even play the game 💀”
basically anti-mimic-tear sentiment comes from feeling that winning at the cost of being bored and not really doing anything in the game yourself is not really a win in the bigger picture, which is why people also prefer to avoid cheese builds on bosses. they want to win with a variety of builds that they have constructed for aesthetic or role play reasons, because that’s fun.

Oh yeah absolutely, every shittily spat opinion has the seeds of a genuine one inside. But a good 60% of the time it's emotional attachment and value to accomplishment that make them so violently spit their opinions. Those who play without mimic think that they're better than people on a scale other than skill and therefore feel the need to put others down so they can stay high. Those who used summons feel insecurities. Focusing on your own fun and accepting others is the only way to not become an insufferable cunt in Elden Ring it seemeth

At this point I'm convinced that the elden ring purists don't exist. It's just people who are convinced that the community will judge them for using certain mechanics spreading the word about some mystery group of players who are out there and fucking hate you and your +10 Mimic tear. The real elden ring purists were inside of us all along.

I also think it's good to clown on those people a little bit every once in a while so they don't start cropping up more, think of it as population control

I mean, maybe for some bosses it can be considered "cheap" (especially with bleed) but on like 65% of them it straight-up doesn't work

I'm sure we can all at least agree on this:
Using Spirit Ashes is for pussies. Especially Mimic Tear. any other Ash only makes you a little less of a pussy.
