Game shortcuts? Like what windows calls symlinks, you copy them to your USB drive and then they don’t work when you get home?

Yeah, desktop shortcuts is what they're saying. So yes. The joke is the fact that the kid copies all the games desktop shortcuts onto their USB stick thinking they just stole all these games.

Shortcuts and symlinks are 2 technically different things. Windows does have symlinks too.
