Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a four-panel wojak meme posted to the r/Eldenring subreddit, with a Reddit footer. In the top row, a smug figure says "Haha I pressed L2 first!!!" and a crying, bespectacled figure says "Ugh this game is so unbalanced!!!", each surrounded by armor and item icons from the game and holding a katana. In the bottom row, two calm bearded "Chad" figures cross a greatsword and a wooden club, trading "Thy strength befits a crown." and "Thank you." It sets whiny player-versus-player duels against a respectful brute-strength match. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
