Thanks for nothing

This meme jokes about a common frustrating experience in open-world RPG games. The top text describes a scenario where a non-player game character rewards the player with a supposedly special ancient weapon for finishing a quest, only for the player to discover the reward has lower damage stats than the weapon they are already using. Below the text is a still of Geralt of Rivia from *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* standing in the rain with his arms crossed, looking unimpressed, annoyed, and deeply disappointed, which visually represents the player's letdown at receiving a useless reward.

Origin notes

This meme was originally shared on Reddit's meme communities with the title 'Thanks for nothing'. It uses a widely recognized reaction screenshot of Geralt from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a popular open-world RPG game. The image was edited to add relatable text for gamers, and an Imgflip watermark is visible in the bottom left corner, indicating it was likely created using the Imgflip meme generator before being posted to Reddit.
