I feel like it's a festival of emulators these days. Or maybe that thing is happening where some new thing clicks into sharper focus for you, and then suddenly you see it everywhere. What was the name of that phenomenen, I feel I saw it on here at some stage...

Ahh, the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, or Frequency Illusion.

I was just reading about the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon the other day, and now I'm seeing it mentioned everywhere.

You might be tempted to think it was invented recently too, then, as per the related "recency illusion". Another one I've definitely fallen prey to.
