Seen in the wild
Just work, NEET! Don't goof off! Show up on those who look down on ya someday!
One goof desperately tries to get voters, and two thousand years of Western thought is upended… …Good job, Kierkegaard. 🙄🤦♂️
Incredibly valid! This is why I'm grateful that *cooperative* multiplayer has gotten as popular as it has. I mean, even with that you get the odd sweatlord, but for the most part, even if you're a goof, everyone's chill.
Classic stuff isn't it. I've never noticed that particular goof, even though I've literally just finished watching it again! 😆
Same experience with this menace. Lovable goof, but a damn expensive one.
