Then the emulator hijacks my keyboard. Keys rattle. The mouse jerks to the corner of the screen, dragging a folder into view: . Inside, a single video file. Thumbnail shows a living room—soft beige couch, afternoon light, a Switch docked to a small TV.

A kid—maybe nine, maybe ten—sits cross-legged on the carpet, clutching a Pro Controller. He’s playing Boomerang Fu . The screen shows the donut vs. the egg, chaotic and bright. He’s winning. Laughing.
