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.

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.

TIL about high torque servos.

RC Servo motor

My guess is that a servo will probably be a bit too weak for that. They’ll propably need a stepper motor.

Lolsorandomamirite?

Neat!

Being too lazy to be funny so you just post ChatGPT garbage is definetly a meme. /s

That man wouldn’t have a career anymore if it weren’t for that meme.

Seems like something Harry DuBois would do.

You can just convince the people that yous hand was forced to not adress local issues, creating a de facto virtual representation.
