I interpret this as in current treatlerite society, the conditions wouldn’t be there for Marx to invent socialism. So instead of creating socialist literature he would be distracted by video games

It could be seen as a rejection of capitalism by emulating old games for free on existing hardware instead of buying new.
And apparently he had no strict schedule, would wake up at noon, do whatever for a while, then sit down and write for hours. So maybe he'd wake up at 12, play Resistance until 8, then write until 4 in the morning
Wow, thanks Karl Marx, I didn't know this, I'll go try it now
Everyone posting about their good rpcs3 experiences and meanwhile I was blocked from getting more than 20 minutes into mgs4 by unavoidable crashes 
And I'm over here like when will I find time to play Chrono Trigger 
The best time to play Chrono Trigger was 1994. The second best time is now, comrade!
This feels tailored to me, as I had this exact experience starting to play Demon's Souls just last week
Are there any particularly interesting PS3 exclusives? The ones that come to mind are Metal Gear Solid 4 (which is getting a PC port in August), the Uncharted games, Demon's Souls (presumably the screenshot there?), The Last of Us (now has a PC port), whatever Gran Turismo game is on there...and that's all I've got, although I'm sure there's more. The unported games I mentioned don't really appeal to me, but I'm sure there's something on there I'd like.
Resistance 2 and 3 were fun
I remember being blown away by (footage of) Resistance 1, but I have no idea how good those games actually were—maybe I'll give them a go to see if it was worth the hype! And holy crap, they released THREE on the same platform? Honestly forgot it even had sequels.
The old God of War trilogy I guess?
Oh, how could I forget! I'm not much of a hack-'n'-slash person, but that'll be a big draw for many.
the old wisdom was 'ps3 has no games but great graphics' around the time. I have a feeling upside of graphics would fall short these days
Pov ur sony: 
why did this hit so hard
lol
oh shit, maybe I'll finally be able to play Yakuza Dead Souls one of these days
It runs fine under emulation, but it’s the worst game in the series by a very wide margin.
worse than anything made Y:6 and beyond? I'd be surprised if that were true
Then prepare to be surprised when you play it.
Btw Champagne.pages.dev is a great way to find pirate stuff
hmmm, I'll have to have a look if they have the files to make ShadPS4 work. I don't really want to jailbreak my GF's PS4
I can totally imagine him being into the most niche emus imaginable, maybe even on the modding side, and Engels would have been too, and that's how they would have bonded, the whole young Hegelian deal would be secondary.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
PS3 emulation is such a seamless experience. Even on my Batocera machine (which can be a tad clunky to set up backbend stuff at times), it runs like a dream
