I'm fully out of the loop on what's going on, but I really hope the emulator doesn't shut down, I love my PS1 emulation...

I follow some meme accounts, if you'd be interested:

These aren't meme accounts per se, but their " of the day" posts are still neat to me:

I hope this can be of use to help lighten up your Mastodon experience. ๐Ÿ˜…

It's the Paper Daisy HD mod!

I also made a text mod of my own for it that covers some stuff that was overlooked as well as make it compatible with the TTYD+ mod, which I really like.

I remember reading about Rosemary before, it's really messed-up what happened to her

Well, memes sometimes last longer than the era they starred in.

I remember finding this chart showing the various meme eras (I don't remember where I found it, sadly):

And I definitely remember seeing old memes still being used after their debut "era" - I remember seeing some from the "experimental" era (1995-2004) like the Dancing Banana, All Your Base Are Belong to Us and less-commonly YTMND and Homestar Runner references in the Classic Era (2004-2009), and likewise I saw memes from that era (Pingas, demotivational posters, Leeroy Jenkins jokes/references, Chuck Norris, Over 9000, Keyboard Cat, etc) still being used well into 2012-2013 despite that already being a new "meme era".

And as I mentioned in another comment, Rage Comics and Advice Animals still persisted into 2014 (mostly dying/fading into obscurity around 2015), by which point "dank" memes were already at full swing; and I definitely recall still seeing some Surreal Memes in use around the early 2020s, so I'd say the boundaries of meme popularity are fairly fuzzy.

If my memory serves me right (it usually doesn't lol), it was mostly by 2015 that they were on their death throes, having been mostly usurped by the MLG era; I remember being upset that things like advice animals and rage comics were suddenly considered "things only clueless old people on facebook post nowadays" circa 2015. But they were still around in a smaller scale around 2014, so I think it still counts?

But I'm looking forward to seeing you share more old memes! I love 'em.

The night is also less hot and doesn't have super-harsh sunlight that makes me go blind, either.

That's good to hear. Everyone else was only talking about the US and EU, and I'm like... "what about me, who doesn't live in either?" ๐Ÿ˜

I had Windows literally delete my graphics drivers because it decided to download "new" ones (read: the default fallback driver) and made me unable to play anything. And when I went through the trouble of figuring out how to get AMD's software center to redownload it, Windows did it again.

On an unrelated note, that happened on my second-to-last day of using Windows.
