Won't powerlevel too much, but I can confirm a sizable chunk either don't know about emulators, or know but are scared to make use of them.
Holy shit, to hear /v/ tell it, running an emulator takes an act of god and even then never works right. I'm astonished at how incompetent the buffoons over there are about absolutely anything that requires any deviation from bottom-tier "click button to play" consumption of interactive audio/visual entertainment products.
That reminds me of how the creepy, weirdo TF2 YouTuber VenusianRapper (whom you might recall got featured on the Farms a little while back) was apparently unable to use an emulator even with someone holding his hand and walking him through the process. A lot it I think is that people just memorize what they're supposed to do so that they can do very specific things on a computer, without understanding any of the terminology or the principles of what they're actually doing.
It is a shame that the Napster generation did not pass down that wisdom unto their children. In a perfect world, millions of zoomers must seed.

both of those ads come from the same junk peddlers targeting two different kinds of pedos
Between OpenEmu and Dolphin, emulation has become about as easy as it can get.
That's pretty gay. I wonder what this guys Bridget collection looks like.
I used to use emulators constantly in the early 2000’s for SNES and gameboys games - I have fond memories of playing a wonky fan translation of Pokémon Gold/Silver before it came out in the US. But I stopped for the above reason, and I haven’t thought about it in some time. Your post made me realize that these days even my crappy laptop could handle ps2 emulation! I’m unreasonably excited, time to download all my old favorite games! Emulators are a great way to get around the greed of companies profiting over and over again on your nostalgia. I got so mad when they took away backwards compatibility on consoles. There are some games I’ve bought like three or four times to keep being able to play them on newer hardware, but not everything gets ported and it’s super lame to get charged like $30-50 bucks sometimes for a game you originally bought in 2002 for the same exact amount.
very nonspecific
Our idea of a plug-and-play and a normie idea is very different. I've met zoomers and cuspers/young millenials who had no idea they had to empty out the trash bin on their laptop.
The moment you start a shrine shelf is when you've hit consoomer.
I swear officer this isn't my giant funko pop, these are my friend's jeans.
You know what? Good for him.
You know he's just going to try to resell it rather than keep it. Though how you'd get away with selling a giant batman funko anywhere except private sellers far away is a mystery.
Whenever I see these comic book stores propped up entirely with walls of Funkos, you know the ones, they’re entirely vanity business by their owners and just end up being a hive of smelly unwashed pedos lurking by the high school boys playing Magic - you know what I’m talking about - I just think they shouldn’t exist. So I’m glad for anything that makes their daily operations more difficult.
