When Ekko's game came out, the very first thing I did was make sure it ran on a virtual machine with no network.

That virtual machine was snapshotted. No matter what, I know I can always play that game, and all I need is something that can virtualize, or at least emulate, x86_64

@essie
You know full well plenty of people believe that whole-heartedly.

It's the same people telling you to buy Disney+, Paramout+, Starz+, CanadaPloos, and ESPN+.

@r000t sure they do but its an meme that’s been circulating for years of spongebob saying people who use emulators should go to jail tweeted by “robloxfemboy” if you thought it was serious thats on you
@r000t i openly made fun of the guy responding to it angrily in my post and you’re not even the first person to misinterpret it what is going on
@r000t dude why are you condescending to me over an incredibly obvious and overused to the point of being trite joke that went over YOUR head lol

@essie Because people actually believe it.

Quick, what's a position that people take up that you don't like? I'll make a "joke" that's dry as the fucking sahara and then make fun of you for having an opinion.

@r000t “dry as the fucking sahara” it was a spongebob meme of him saying something obviously hyperbolic mind you

@essie I have to agree with @r000t here. The fact that it is, for you, a famous meme doesn't mean it is universally famous. Nothing on the Internet is universal. Everything is subculture-specific.

I'm a fan of dry humour myself and I didn't parse it as such. It just looked like some idiotic comment posted by some rando. The “I pay for games. So should you” part left me in doubt, but that wasn't enough to see it as a joke. Also, the “dont make me tap the sign” intro made me think it was copypasted by some dumbass who got the wrong meme.

A comment does not become automatically funny by being outlandish and stupid. Same with reactions. They're not funny simply because “they didn't get the joke.” Finding them thus is childish, if anything.

@josemanuel @essie @r000t I have to agree with @essie here. I'm severely underweight and have to throw up after every meal.
