The latest FromSoftware game players have been banging their heads against, Elden Ring, is out and it's safe to say that gamers are in love. Despite the nail biting difficulty being at the core of the game's concept, it has gone on to be deemed one of the best games of all time. It's paying off literally. Even only taking into account physical sales, Elden Ring is the fastest selling soulsbourne game to date.
When it came out last Friday (25 February) players were instantly enjoying themselves with the detailed character customisation. However, the wheel of memes is ever turning and the internet has now turned its sights to a new one. This time, it's a way to insult the skill of other players.
If you didn't get a hold of Elden Ring yet, you can check out some gameplay and thoughts in our review below.

As you take on the name of tarnished, some NPCs note that you have no maiden to guide you around the world of Elden Ring, making your quest that much more difficult. Now players have take the term "maidenless" to be an insult for either a low skill player, or as a person just in life.
An artist took the Megamind No b*****s? meme and transformed it into the world of Elden Ring. So of course your Megaminded NPC has to come complete with catchphrase.

One Twitter user took direct offence to the insult. With everyone else in his life asking him if he has a girlfriend, he really didn't need his games asking him too.
My mom: “where is your wife?”

My coworkers: “😂 no girlfriend.”
My chat: “🤣 no bitches!”
Now Elden Ring: “🤣 Maidenless.”
FFS 🥲
A tweet went viral after someone said they got a refund because they think Elden Ring is unfairly difficult. In response, another player used Spongebob to criticise his gameplay as "maidenless behaviour".

Next week there will probably be a new Elden Ring themed insult, but for now having no maidens is as low as it gets.
