Saving them for the final-final boss
Dialogue
Overview
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.
