Did they drop the "teenage" part so that Prince Andrew would stop trying to book them for parties?

I know we're informally calling Luigi Mangione the Adjuster, so that makes sense to me. But what "The Adjuster" are people picking Luigi for in this meme supposedly? Is there a video game where the main character is an Adjuster?

OK that's weird. It was something else. Maybe the link changed while scrolling. I hate the modern Web.

I love the idea that someone was working on a Luigi's Haunted Mansion sequel when they saw the search metrics on "Luigi" go absolutely nuts and when they found out why were like "Oh... oh nooooo..."

They probably mean that they use pictures of Nintendo Luigi in memes about the shooting (in place of pictures of the human Luigi), not that people select Luigi as a character more often in a certain video game.
