Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Overcooked
Could you imagine if the presidential candidates and their VP pick had to play Overcooked together for a few hours?
It wouldn't even have to be a competition on score. You could learn so much about them so fast - their communication, ability to adapt, and how they handle frustrations.
Yes. Please. That game is actually fun too
Geez man I'd rather be tasked with deciding whether to retaliate a possible nuclear strike. That sounds way less stressful.

between this and WoW, are they going to stream any good games?
Would be fun if they streamed Civilization.
Fuck, play some Clock Tower, tis Halloween afterall.
Or hell, play Resident Evil and do commentary talking about how it's not only based on the works of George Romero, but also pretty dang based considering the moral of the story is "American Pharmaceutical Companies are literally evil and responsible for mass death"
Walz: MY WORDS ARE BACKEX WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Walz: Oh that is SO you Gandhi, you piece of shit!
Musk is streaming a full playthrough of the Leisure Suit Larry series.
A bunch of horribly aged sex comedies full of misogynistic "jokes", blatant homohpboia, and various pop-culture references that you'd have to have been born in the 70's to have a chance of getting?
Sounds like his kinda game being a washed-up divorced dad living in the past who's children and ex-wife want nothing to do with him.
Seriously, I own the series, bought it in a bundle for Steam and I've tried playing them. I love old adventure games, especially comedies like Monkey Island and I heard so many good things about it from my dad and the laughs he had from LSL when he was a dumb kid fresh out of high school.
...and I nearly died of anti-lulz trying to play these things.
I love a good raunchy comedy, for fuck's sake, my favorite Boomer Shooter is Duke Nukem 3D... but LSL has aged about as well as Larry himself has been implied to.
I'm too young to even know what a leisure suit is, and I'm in my god damn 30's.
Leisure suit larry is a good nickname for musk. Although it soils the leisure suit larry brand.
Loser suit Larry seems more musky.
AOC did among us during the previous election
Not my game of choice, but as an elderly gamer, this works for me.
THIS is how you do fellow kids
It's just outreach. May be corny, but they're intentionally getting outside their comfort zone to reach more people.
What kids are playing Madden, though?
Lots of normies (assuming American normies love Madden as much as European normies love fifa)
My normie friend buys it every year, and acknowledges he paid for an updated sport wiafu roster.
We just say Gaifu now.
Way easier than guessing the spelling of husbando.

Hundreds of thousands of people.
The fact of the matter is that casual gamers and console owners overlap with Facebook and all generic social media.
We know that we only Lemmy are small, so we should try to keep in mind that our understandings and opinions of generic things in the world are the uncommon ones. Madden sells. FIFA sells. Call of Duty sells. Grand Theft Auto sells. Trying to criticize these outside of Lemmy will only result in losing even more faith in the general public, if that was even possible.

It would be funny if one of them started cheating
AOC fell off. From among us to madden? Come on
Trying to catch a crowd with the biggest net. Should have done super smash bros
If they're trying to win over young male Trump voters, they should be playing CoD.
Next thing you know she'll be playing Elden Ring like a fucking poser while using a cheese build like some communist normie.
Nah, I need that real gamer shit. If she doesn't have a Steam account with 60 games completed, 120 played and 400 unplayed with 1000 hours on Terraria and Stardew Valley each, then is she really a gamer, or is she just some fucking millennial just like I am wait...
Only 1000? Newbie numbers right there.
