If people use the term meme to mean more than macros, then the definition changes. Language reflects the way people communicate. So if a bunch of people use language a certain, unorthodox way, they are not wrong.

Sometimes people will call a particular strategy a “meme” when they just mean it’s bad.

I think you misunderstand what those people are saying. They probably call it a “meme”, because players imitate some weird behavior, they saw in a video or on Discord something without thinking through the strategy. IMHO, “meme” is a way better description of that phenomenon than “bad strategy”, because it includes why people are deploying that strategy.

Give people a bit more credit, will you?

I’m guessing that a lot of traffic is just bots using the chromium engine.

At this point I’ve seen people use meme for something as generic as something being funny, something being bad, literally just images of tweets, etc.

But that’s what a meme literally is:

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.

Your definition is describing a macro.

1. Zelda isn’t an RPG
2. Rogue is a “classic RPG”.
3. Nothing got “mutilated”. This is a new game with borrowed assets and mechanics.
4. Just don’t play it then, if you don’t like it.
5. Let other people enjoy things that don’t hurt anyone else.

This ain’t a romhack (where no assets by Ninteno are distributed). The dev used Nintendo’s assets in Gamemaker and big N don’t like that.

What’s wrong with you?

Or any other copyright claim… 🙄

I know it’s common, fun and morally correct to dunk on Nintendo, but they need to “defend their IP”, if they don’t want to lose their trademark on it.

What did the dev do to shield the project from a DMCA? Couldn’t find it in the article. If it’s not a romhack, then it would be vulnerable to those.

Which format do you think would be a better fit?

How about this one?, e.g.:

Israel: “Let’s wait till the verdict before WE CONDEMN THE UNANNOUNCED ICC ARREST FOR NETANYAHU!”

Did you read the rest of the comment?

You’re not really addressing what they said, thouoh. A Wikipedia article doesn’t make their statement incorrect.

Neat!

That’s why we need more adoption.

Both KDE and Gnome are stable. Anaconda works the same way for both of them, because that stuff doesn’t have anything to do with the DE.

It really depends on your preferences. KDE is easily customizaple and has a lot of features and UX improvements. But it can clutter quite easily: these options can be overwhelming.

GNOME follows a very strict workflou design that’s more similar to how phones work and helps an ADHD brain, like me to focus more. You can customize it, but you’ll do so at your own risk.

Best to try out both in a live system and do some things that emulate your day-to-day workflow. Then you can decide. And you can always change afterwards! If you have a separate home-partition, reinstalling a new DE/Distro is super trivial.

Holy shit! Can that be any more drawn out and boring?

Unironically: That’s really cool of you. :)

Welcome to (late stage) capitalism.

The market of publishing houses is waaaaay too monopolized for that to take an effect. It’s like boycotting Amazon.
