"That's cold, guys."

So there's a new(ish) DLC for Goat Simulator called Waste of Space, in which you (a goat) have crashed a spaceship into a startup space colony set up by an indefinably-shady crowdfunding platform called CrowdKicker. In a properly silly opening cutscene, you are then drafted to head up the fundraising effort in order to make amends for smashing up the CEO's office with your spaceship. Or something. It doesn't make a ton of sense even by Goat Simulator standards, but the point is, you do that by doing the usual stuff you always do in Goat Simulator, only now when you headbutt random people around the space colony, they give you money. You're basically mugging space colonists and shaking them down for cash by force.

When you do that, there are new sounds the colonists make, in addition to the existing sound clips bystanders utter when you headbutt them ("I think I broke something!"). Some are despairing, some weirdly cheerful (the guy who says "Take my moneeeeeey!" in a jaunty, happy-to-be-falling-off-a-cliff kind of way), but I just noticed one that made me pause the game and giggle for a solid 30 seconds at its combination of trenchant commentary and brutal unkindness:

"Star Citizen took all my money!"

Cold, guys. Real cold. In space, no one can hear you dis. :)
