This is a two-panel meme using the popular soyjak vs Nordic Chad template. The left panel features an angry, crying soyjak character with glasses, red bloodshot eyes, and tears streaming down his face, yelling the text above him: 'You can't finish the game with 97 unused potions!'. The right panel features a calm, stoic blonde bearded Chad character responding with the text above him: 'I might need them later'. The joke references the extremely relatable common gamer behavior of hoarding healing consumables like potions throughout an entire playthrough, refusing to use them even when needed, out of irrational fear that they will be required for a harder final boss later, often ending the game with dozens of unused items.

This is a relatable gaming meme consisting of a text header at the top followed by a popular reaction image of late NBA star Kobe Bryant. The top text reads 'Mom: one last game / Me playing story mode:'. The joke relies on the shared experience of video game players: story mode missions typically take much longer than quick multiplayer matches, so when given permission to play just one more game, someone playing story mode will have the resigned, unimpressed expression shown in the reaction image, as they know they will be playing for hours instead of just one short game, and cannot easily quit mid-story mission.

This is a two-panel meme that uses the iconic real viral footage of an oncoming train colliding with a school bus stuck on railroad tracks to joke about common annoying mobile app behavior.
