Several years ago, there was this meme running around regarding The Sims (I'm not even sure there were even called memes back then), probably paraphrasing, about how the game lets you realize your wildest dreams, such as owning a house, having a steady job, pursuing all your interests, and so on. At the moment I was like "*chuckles* oh, you Internet, lol". Today at 41 it's not that funny anymore.
