Even with taxes, that means the guy is earning 91k.

Ok, other guy got downvoted for this very same thought, but really, $250 a day seems like kinda a lot. I guess it you count taxes, maybe? Or maybe savings? Its weirdly too low for hyperbole but too high to sound right.
My expenses with a morgage in a major city, utils, gas, daycare, transportation, insurance, food for four, and a little to savings… and even I don’t think we hit $250/day. Even without doing the math, that’s $7500 every 30 days, we definitely don’t make that much even before taxes.
Oh wait, now I see, I spend jack shit on entertainment. A perk of being addicted to playing 20 year old games on emulators, I guess. If I had normal hobbies, yeah ok I can see how that’d probably be around $250 a day on average.
Tl;dr, moral of my thought experiment, pirate the mother loving shit out of your entertainment. Arr!

Maybe it is hyperbole because to them, 91k might as well be 9.1 million.

What 20 year-old games would there be to emulate in 2045?! 😉

You know, at that point it’s not even emulation, just good ol’ abandonware. That, or real patient gamer discounts… which I would make fun of except it took me like 15 years to try and love Portal. Lol
