Gamers love to call people who focus on one particular type of game or console "not real gamers"

Let's just call it fromsoft fans

Boggles my mind when people claim that using mechanic present in the game is not playing the game "as intended".

Who do you think put the feature there? The pesky magical game dev that spawns at 2 am to code in a mimic tear?

It's bizzare. Man i hate that they have two powerful bosses that attack you ar the same time. I had to try 156 times to get good rng and one guy got stuck in a pillar.

You know they are very weak to sleep and there is also a summon....

NO, THAT'S NOT HOW THE COOL STREAMER DOES IT.

Not true. We just call people who focus on the wrong kinds of games "assholes."

Anyone who hasn’t played Factorio is a noob

You know what, I've stopped getting excited when I met someone claiming to be a gamer, because they inevitably say they play "Dota". Play what you want, but why is it always Dota?

It's either League of legends, CoD, or Modern Warfare in my experience
