💡 What's the 'buy Samsung' joke?
Samsung's Fold has existed since 2019, so Apple's late folding-phone reveal is an easy punchline.vs. the US: like Apple debuting earbuds years after Bluetooth already existed.Klore note

💡 Why roast the gameplay, not the phone?
Miyabi's a top Zenless Zone Zero character, famous for her taunting gesture — botching her combos is prime meme fuel.vs. Reddit: like mocking a celebrity's bad free throw over the charity itself.Klore note

    Of course everyone's only talking about the character when the guy just let her get beaten to hell.

    If it's a unit at the venue, it's probably just set up weird for demo purposes, cut him some slack
