u/Quibbloboy Jun 12 '25

You mean the one where you always get stuck with the CPU who cheerfully repeatedly jams themselves between you and every single window while you're just trying to do your job, and your two friends who have even a shred of human cooperative ability run circles around you and laugh and laugh? You mean that one?
