When you're lvl. 1 and have to wear any armor you can get
Overview
This is a wholesome gaming meme featuring a real light-colored puppy sitting on a home kitchen tiled floor. A cut-up cardboard box is wrapped around the puppy's neck and head, looking like clunky, makeshift armor that a new low-level game character would wear. The top text jokes about the common experience in role-playing or open-world video games, where new level 1 characters have no access to good armor and have to equip whatever poor gear they can find early in the game. The puppy's calm, slightly smug expression adds to the humor and cuteness of the joke.
