Him using cheese or whatever is not the issue. The problem is his reactions. He's essentially making content out of pretending the world is out to get him for using game elements in the game to play the game. He is so indignant over people "demanding" he has a death counter when other streamers don't. Reality is that he has the audience he's made for himself and other streamers have an audience that isn't out to make them "suffer" as he absurdly calls it.

If he wants to use "cheap" tactics in Elden Ring he should do it because he's 40 year old adult and it's what he wants to do, not because un-named PRO LEVEL PLAYERS (which I'm not sure is a thing you can call someone for playing a singleplayer game well) gave him divine permission to do so. And he should definitely do it without bitching and crying.

And another problem, sort of, is that he's not playing the game and discovering ways to play it that are overpowered through his own ability to play a video game. I don't have any opinion on whether or not he uses guides, seems like speculation to me, but he definitely uses chat as his walkthrough. Been a while since I've watched it, but I've no doubt that he didn't just get the Black Knight Halberd drop and decide to use that weapon. He got it as a lucky drop and then 50 people in chat told him the weapon is insanely good/overpowered and he went with it. I've no doubt that he said in Dark Souls 2 he wanted to go cleric and then 50 chatters told him lightning spears are overpowered. Or maybe they just told him to go cleric because they're overpowered in the first place.

Again, he can do a chat handholding playthrough if he wants to, he's a grown man. But he can't then complain that people find the playthrough boring as shit.

I mean, I guess he can, if he's an asshole.
