Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

There was a joke in my local community that is something along these lines:
An African poor kid has seen a Nintendo console somewhere and asks his dad for one. Dad says no, understandably given the circumstances. The kid then makes a replica using cardboard and other shit he finds. Dad posts this on social media and it gains huge attention. Nintendo's CEO learns about this and travels to Africa in his private jet to meet the family personally. The CEO arrives there and sues the family for copyright infringement for 1,000,000 dollars.

Yup that's it! Thanks for finding it!
