I think that's what the meme was trying to say.

For me it's anything I have to download an app to operate.
I have an alarm set every week just for grabbing the free Epic game.
Literally every game on console with online multiplayer forces you to pay for essential features.
500 hours is also my sweet spot I think - I don't think I have any games with significantly more than that. Here are the games I have ~500 hours in (that I can remember off the top of my head):
Breath of the Wild
Civ IV
Dark Souls
Monster Hunter World
Skyrim
Warframe
If entire series count though, it's gotta be Civ, by a landslide.
Minion boomer meme vibes.

If this is the incident you're referring to, then:
Updated Wednesday June 14 2:10 p.m. EST - San Francisco Police have provided this statement to Jalopnik:
“The SFPD is aware of the social media video showing an autonomous vehicle stopped in the middle of a road during a recent shooting incident in San Francisco. The autonomous vehicle did not delay police, fire, or other emergency personnel with our arrival or departure from this scene. Furthermore, it did not interfere with our investigation into the shooting incident.
Also, if the lives saved by autonomous cars are anywhere near as high as they're supposed to be, isolated incidents are way more than worth it. Statements like "The very first time one of these things blocked emergency services, the whole project should have been shelved" are incredibly shortsighted and would result in orders of magnitude more deaths over time.
Ooh, not locking multiplayer behind a paywall so I can play multiplayer games somewhere other than just on PC!
Ooh ooh, controllers that actually work!
Ooh ooh ooh, no more artificial scarcity, like making more than 12 total physical copies of games and not arbitrarily removing games from sale digitally!
"Framerules" in Super Mario Bros. speedrunning on NES is probably the most memed analogy for a (very slightly) more complicated concept I know of.
The game can only send you to a new level every 21 frames (about .3 seconds), so there are tons of levels where timesaves don't lead to any benefit, because you have to save a full .3 seconds in order to see any benefit.
In the community, this has been explained with the same analogy so many times that "Imagine there's a bus" has become a well-known meme.
So, imagine there's a bus that only leaves the station every .3 seconds (21 frames). Because the bus only leaves at the times on its schedule, arriving early for the bus doesn't get you to your destination any faster, because you still have to wait for the time the bus will leave. For this reason, any new time saves in SMB1 must reach a new "framerule" (get there early enough to catch the previous bus) for there to be any real timesave.
Do you have a source for this? Also, what sort of "exceptions" do you mean? German has cognates of most of the English inherited grammatical exceptions, and has many more classes of its own that aren't reflected in English.
