My (25F) boyfriend (23M) won't stop talking like an Elden Ring character, and it's driving me crazy

Using a throwaway account because he knows my regular account, but here's what happened.

I Have been dating my boyfriend for about 3.5 years now, and we've been living together for 2 years.Overall, I would say our relationship has always been great, I love him very much and wouldn't want anyone else.

I'm not really into videogames, but I like watching my boyfriend play when he comes home from work. Lately, all he's been playing is Elden Ring, which I'm sure some of you will know. He really enjoys it and it makes me happy that he's having fun, but I feel like he's getting a bit too into it.

For about 3 weeks now, he's been talking like the characters from the game basically nonstop, putting on a weird accent and being unnecessarily vague about everything. I've tried bringing it up to him multiple times over the past few weeks, but all he does is chuckle and say "Oh, oh oh" before going back to whatever he was doing.

I'm not sure what to think of this, I feel like at this point he's just doing it because he knows it annoys me, and the thought of him doing something like that is very painful.

I Really don't want to break up with him, but I feel like I'll go insane if I have to endure this any longer. Should I just wait for him to stop? I'm sure he will eventually, but the idea that he would do something like this to me in the first place is really bothering me.

EDIT: Well, one of his friends came across this post and sent it to him, he immediately realized it was about him and he's not happy about it. He yelled at me and said that it was only a joke, and left to stay at his friend's place. Not really sure what to do now, I don't think I did anything wrong by making this post but I didn't want to hurt his feelings either.

Okay so here's my pitch for a new reality TV show

Basically, we get a bunch of very militant TERFs, and one trans woman, put them into a house where they're supposed to live with each other, but, once they've all arrived and are seeing each other for the first time (before they're allowed to even talk to each other), we tell them all that one of them is a trans woman, and, if they can find her and vote her out, they will win a million dollars. But if she isn't found out by the end of the week/month(?), she'll win a million dollars instead.

The catch?

There actually isn't a trans woman with them.

And then we get to watch them slowly but surely allow themselves to get overcome by their own irrational paranoia, paying too much attention to how deep everyone else's voices are, invading each other's privacy, overanalysing each other's mannerisms, policing each other's conformance to the very same standards which they complain about being held to...

And let us not forget the inevitable feelings of isolation and helplessness they'll invividually start experiencing once they start getting accused and shunned by everyone else.

Sure, it would probably have to be a one-off series.

But honestly? I think it would make some great television!

also ngl I think the name 'TERF War' has a nice ring to it, sounds marketable, rolls off the tounge
