Real

Do you even get the joke?

Not at all, pal.

So you see, in the gd community there's a meme the originated with one of the main levels called fire in the hole (the meme, not the level)
The face of the meme became the normal difficulty face

Ah. I see! This is incredibly interesting stuff. I haven’t tried GD before because I didn’t have a phone back then, so I’m off to give it a go!

I’ve heard that it is hard as hell, with players (quite literally) replaying the same damn level thousands of times.

some levels are hard
some are easy
