I forget exactly where I heard it and the examples given, but the quote stuck with me. Given the chance, gamers will optimize the fun out of a game. It’s a big game design problem.

I’ve seen NES and combination SNES/NES clones for sale at Microcenter (or maybe it was somewhere else, I don’t recall, but it wasn’t the type of store to be selling illegal things). So, yeah. Bleem! (a commercially sold PlayStation emulator) was found to be legal in court. I don’t think hardware products doing it are any different.
The main problem is that most places selling handheld emulators out there are also bundling ROMs of every game. And that is illegal.
I’ve been dabbling for years, but my old computer couldn’t run Windows 11. That delay made me wait long enough to see all the recall shit, so my new computer has been Linux since day 1, no dual boot.
But that’s entirely the point the meme is trying to make. It’s pointing out that gen alpha has an alarming amount of it. It’s like saying “This is actually a dark comedy, there is a layer of irony over the humor” then you jump in and say “hey, it’s not their fault the director decided to mix sadness in!” I’m not even attacking them lol.

I don’t think anyone is going to think you’re a white nationalist because you’re white and in khakis.
Living rooms bedrooms dinettes!
Ulterior motives!
“Where have you been, Clark?”
“There are some rooms in the back of my furniture store.”
“Wait, say that again…”

All of the examples given are specifically terms that have to do with more conservative adjacent ideologies. If the words were things like “bet” and “cap” I’d have a different opinion. I believe you have missed the subtext of this meme entirely.

Thinking it doesn’t correlate at all seems foolish. There is some correlation, it’s just miniscule.

NOOOOOOO!!! This is a website! It has text prior to the PDF, just put the damn article there! The website clearly already supports HTML, otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing anything!
(But yes, I still like those formats, I just think it should be a no brainer for a website to actually have it’s contents as HTML.)

Why in the FUCK is this a PDF?
It felt repetitive to me too lol. I thought it scrolled back up to the top of something.
