having technical difficulties with a Device of mine (handheld emulation console). went to the Device's subreddit to see if anyone has dealt with similar issues. couldn't find anything but i did find multiple posts about how fantastic the Device "community" was, how the "community" was growing, community community community. all you did was buy an electronic toy other people bought that's not what a community is oh my god

in reply to @nicky's post:
reminds me a little of how nft guys would always talk about the "community" although at least emulation has the actual purpose of entertainment
the thing is, i think we want to believe this is true, but a lot of people are so desperate for any kind of common ground that they basically buy a thing in order to have an excuse to join a group. that's why every topic-specific forum has a General subforum and there's a post that's just like "what's up" with 50,000 posts
