Sam and Max meeting old Sam and Max

Poor old Sam. He sounds like he’s going through the options of what you can’t do with stuff in you inventory.

[@brissadlr9939]

Either that or he’s just suffering from dementia.

Sam talking like a player who’s lost in a point and click game is probably the most brilliant portrayals of dementia I’ve ever seen, which is a sentence I’d never thought I’d say. It’s both funny and a little sad, I would die for old max
