Controversy erupted in the Souls community this week after longtime FromSoft gamer Andy O’Reilly was caught on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert playing Sekiro on his Steam Deck with cheat mods.

What a fucking scrub, just git gud son. It's easy, Sekiro is an easy game for babies. I myself tie my testicles to my desk and hit them repeatedly with a hammer when playing any sort of Souls like.

You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference.
