That's not the same as prepared.

[Dirk is having this conversation with Dave because 1) He'll have any conversation with Dave and 2) he's worried about Dave and will do whatever to stick around and keep an eye on him. Including: this.]

It'd make for a boring game if the goalie just grabbed the ball and kept it. All interactivity would end the instant the goalie got one in their hands. So they put in an arbitrary rule to make that not a thing so they can keep playing the ball game. [Also he just trusts goalies can pick up balls, he doesn't know. Are goalies a volleyball thing? Probably.]

That's because you don't have any aspirational desire to be the very best. [Beat] Two Pokemon references in two days is weird. The point is that you are prone to cooperation rather than competition. You're not obsessed with victory or being at the top of your field. Any games I program for you would probably be egg-collecting and pet-caretaking. Animal Crossing stuff, not Mortal Kombat. Your gaming preferences aren't towards those particular goals.

Do you want the real answers about balls or the fake one?
