I don't really know what's actually happening here but it sure seems r-slurred. The best that I can determine is that somehow he thinks there's a lot of supposedly unseen difficult to access content in Elden Ring but I don't really understand how the court case is going to help. In any case it's the best thread on /v/ in a while so take a look.

He's full schizo.
I wish I could find that reddit schizo who was posted here a couple of years ago. He would equate completely unrelated pop culture things in huge posts and Redditors would upmarsey the shit out of it (because it's long so it must be smart). "Here's how the music of Final Fantasy 7 relates to Deadpool", random stuff like that.

You should research the lolcow Icycalm, he's a video game discusser/blogger and philosopher who has a dedicated fanbase even though he's an admitted criminal and narcissistic to the level of believing himself to be the nietzschean ubermensch, he blogs about video games on the normal-looking website culture.vg but also has a more blatantly schizo website orgyofthewill.net dedicated to his philosophy, where he even has a section dedicated to praises by his fanbase: https://orgyofthewill.net/praise/
Notable quotes from his fanbase:
"icycalm is going to define philosophy for the entire millennium."
"And despite his incredibly massive claims of 'ending philosophy', I think he's basically just saying 'I'm finishing Nietzsche's work, which was almost done with everything but then he went mad plus he didn't live in the 21st century with shit like movies and videogames so he missed some shit there which I'm going to fix'."
"Nietzsche was less than 200 years ago and you have icycalm right now. Both are still over the heads of even the brightest people and are fully read by practically no one. How many more do you need?"
"This guy might just be the next big philosopher."
"The style is not that different from Nietzsche's. If you think it's a joke you more than likely would have been one of the academic morons flaming Nietzsche back when he was publishing his stuff."
"Frick, this is pure undiluted genius."
"icy's opinion of these things will change my opinion on them totally so I go solely to icycalm for my knowledge of what to think about culture and the world."
"21st century's Nietzsche right here. I can't take you seriously if you aren't paying attention to what he's writing."
"—Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, __________?
—icycalm.
Search your feelings. You will know it to be true."
">He contradicts himself
The same stupid shit is said about Nietzsche here. Your comment is practically confirmation that he's on the ball."
Both himself and his fanbase refer to his various quotes (some of which are stolen from other writers) as aphorisms, abbreviating them in the style of "aphorism 497", apparently to imply that they quote him frequently enough to need an abbreviation for what he says.

Also !forumposters both of the sites linked have forums on the site, which can be used to ask him questions by necroposting, although you need to create an account. Icycalm's self-appointed forum role on culture.vg is literally "hyperborean"

It's hard to explain exactly what the threads were about, it was much more about completely nonsensical perceived patterns. I wish I could find it.

!commenters found him! /u/Smack-works just look at any of his posts or comments. He's still active and he's been at it for years. All of his posts are absolute fricking nonsense but they get lots of upmarseys and comments.
https://old.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/uukfez/we_need_to_develop_new_ways_to_analyze_characters/ for example...
He's obsessed with mathematical patterns and writes posts comparing completely unrelated characters from different film franchises based on nonsensical analysis.
https://old.reddit.com/r/Frozen/comments/19b9ji9/uniqueness_of_frozen_characters/ here he equates Harry Potter's Snape to Elsa from Frozen.
Here is a post with 550 upmarseys about speech pattern analysis in the game Hades. He tries to apply mathematical logic operators to characters in the game. https://old.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/pic08d/hades_speech_patterns_of_all_characters_analysis/. Redditors leave comments like:

100% sane. Espesily part where they only consoome most basic popular culture then rant about it. If he had read kalevala. Then ranted about gandalf. Now you would have something.
But nah. Just talk about emotions you feel when you watch soy war

Contrarians latched onto it as the complete opposite of 7th gen shooters and they're either disgruntled Zelda fanboys or disgruntled CRPG fanboys.

It's because the mouthfeel of pressing r1 and the weight of the laggy attack hitting is euphoric. Plus the visual design is cool. Or was, i think it's getting into self parody territory.

What peak ? Their gameplay mechanics are from ps2 era. Only demon souls had some good and original ideal like the whole concept of that type of games. World changing karma (didn't worked well since 99% people were good guys) spells that can steal players levels, spells that pushed players
