What do you get if you cross Duke Nukem mechanics, sharp modding skills, Max-Headroom-style social commentary, and a visual style that nods towards Cold War Steve's? Something like Dan Douglas's Duke Smoochem, perhaps: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/mar/08/game-dystopian-mirror-uk-dan-douglas-duke-smoochem.

I'm teaching a class on internet #memes next semester. I have opinions: Richard Dawkins' neologism "meme" is useful but not completely helpful in describing internet memes, as an analog for genes ignores audience agency and #ParticipatoryCulture. What opinions do you have about memes and how to talk about them?
