The dog is from Remedy Entertainment, who made Quantum Break, Alan Wake and Max Payne. Uuno isn't from any game, it's just the company testing out different kinds of motion capture.

Also, this may just be due to my ignorance, but I personally haven't come across the phrase 'serious gamer' being used to only refer to 4+ hours a day of gaming. In fact, I haven't even heard of anyone playing that much that regularly (though it may happen). People can still play games regularly, be super enthused about them, and be an active part of the videogame community, without dedicating many hours every day to gaming - so the jump from 'adults don't play 4+ hours on work days' to 'adults don't play games' seems a bit tenuous.

I have no information as to how reliable this source is, so take this with a grain of salt, but: According to the Interactive Games and Entertainment Association in 2016, the average age for an Australian gamer is 33. Also, for all age groups between 5 and 64, more than half of people play games. I don't know how much of this would be mobile games, and this may vary in other countries.

No, I meant that you don't have to change the word 9gàg much to stop Fubsub autocorrecting it. It isn't a shortcut on your phone, it's Fubsub changing your message. I should have been more clear about that, sorry.

Huh, so it's fairly easy to get around

Ok time for some tests

Omg I typed where

It spells "I'm livid". Livid means very angry.

I II II IL?

Thanks @iccarus and @themasssnipe! I need to visit Snopes more (and brush up on my tree biology).

This is probably just me being thick, but I wasn't able to tell that this was fake. What tipped you off about it being made up? Had you just seen it earlier with different details? Or was there some inconsistency in the story?

The 'left turns' trick doesn't always work. If the maze has a loop, you might just be going anticlockwise around a small portion of the maze forever.
The obvious solution here is to make only right turns

Thanks! I hadn't heard of that expression before.

I still haven't gotten it. 'Smooth' rhymes with barely anything. No expression has to do with the photo. The guy's jumper doesn't say or mean anything. Is this a reference to some show I haven't seen?

I also quite like the cover from Venetian Snares, which takes the vocals from the Billie Holiday version: https://youtu.be/3QAqJAfBjN8
Definitely a different style to the other versions of this song, but still quite good

I think you were trying to comment on the post two posts below this one: http://m.funsubstance.com/fun/476947/dont-cursive-shame-us/
Also (in relation to the original post): Though you're right that viruses etc can't be found in handwriting, I'm not sure how that relates to the original post. The view Zach is trying to express is that the baby boomer in question shouldn't be complaining that kids don't know how to write cursive (a skill that serves no purpose nowadays), when that baby boomer themselves can't use a computer effectively (a skill that makes up most of modern life for most people).
