Real hardware snob 

Arrogant, spoiled (mostly upper middle class) retro gamers (aka HOARDERS) who think that everyone in the world has enough physical space to have a bunch of gaming consoles and 8 and 16 bit microcomputers in their house. These people are completely opposed to emulation (save for MAME), yet they are too dumb and arrogant to realize that not everyone can AFFORD (nor have enough room in their homes) to own a bunch of real hardware. Especially with the way the prices are today for actual physical hardware.
Jim: I'm going to download that new ZX Spectrum game and play it on my PC
Tim: Emulation...bah...I own like 12 Spectrums
Jim: Yeah, you're a spoiled rich douche, and can afford it. You are such a real hardware snob.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
