A three-panel meme featuring Winnie the Pooh with distinct expressions paired with text to critique different approaches to game evaluation. The first panel shows Pooh in a tuxedo, looking sophisticated, with text: 'Those who judge a game based on the gameplay/story:'. The second panel has Pooh in his classic red shirt with a neutral expression, text: 'Those who judge a game based on the community and developer relation:'. The third panel depicts Pooh with a wide, almost exaggerated grin, text: 'Those who judge a game based on the artstyle:'.

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.
