This one was me removing it because I posted something about modern games not working on emulators but it is in the retro games thread so I realized it was kind of a foolish place to state that "all" games don't include most of the games people play these days.

Edit: was something like "The wording always annoys me because emulating any game from consoles excludes the PS5, Xbox X, and most AAA games created in the last 15 years unless you pay more than $30 to figure out a graphics card etc etc etc. {dumb thing to say in retro games

Fair enough, thanks for chiming in and correcting me! I'll remove mine too, so it's not overly antagonistic in an inappropriate place (though I do think what I said was accurate, just not the place to discuss it, haha)

I understand, there is a lot of animosity on Lemmy (not trying to compare to other platforms just recognizing it exists.). I think .world will keep getting hate but it likely will also keep growing due to other places having strong opinions that do not align with .worlds view. Doesn't make them right or wrong, just that opinions are segregating themselves to find hives of echos. Shit, now I'm discussing what you said was not the place to discuss. Haha. Hope you have a great day.
