Donald Trump's White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.

I know that this is potentially a spicy thing to post to this community, but I do think it is relevant to games and gaming. They are advertising it with using likenesses of major gaming brands.

Doing a game about a border wall using tetris, where every time you do a good row it disappears, is very MAGA coded, NGL...

Also, don't let this distract you that Trump has raped little kids.

I’m confused as to how “MAGA”, a party political slogan, is allowed on a .gov domain. Seems like it should be illegal?

[–] shaztopher@lemmy.zip 6 points 19 hours ago

You’re confused how our government is doing illegal things? Have you not been paying attention?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

Your taxes paid for this

[–] Toasticus@piefed.social 8 points 22 hours ago

I...um...this timeline has gotten worse in the worst possible way.

I'm at a loss for words.

[–] VirtuePacket@lemmy.zip 3 points 19 hours ago

Deeply, deeply unserious.

That's what the US is now.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Where's the Leisure Suit Larry knockoff where it had the orange pedo raping kids?

[–] whereitsat@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 hours ago

i'd have more respect for that site and the people behind it if they were launching emulators with the entire rom libraries and said to nintendo 'fuck off and sue me.'

shows how pussy they actually are when it comes down to it.

also, think about how people went to college/graduate school to code these games lol.

waste of life.

Gamergate was the worst thing to happen to this world

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

So was Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.

[–] TransNeko@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

no. the worst thing to happen to this world is that we didn't execute every single nazi and israeli filth the first time around. the second worst thing is that we didn't make a law that made it illegal to be a nazi. the third worst thing to happen is that we didn't execute filthy nazis on sight when they popped up in America.

This is something straight out of a parody movie, and even then, it would sound absurd.

What the heck is even going on in the US right now.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 36 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (16 children)

America is a fucking joke.

Those dumb cunts elected a clown whose destroyed the global world order as we know it, for the worse.

I hope they're proud that their leader not only rapes children and steals billions for himself, his family, and his friends, but have forsaken any ideals of saving this planet from the oncoming climate apocalypse that's bearing down on us.

As a white european, D**** to America.

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Well when I see yall saying "daath to america" I think maybe its good we have a crashout president

You could slap that same comment on nearly any article about Trump since his entry into politics. We live in a fucking circus.

Democracy kinda assumes people can tell the difference between dark chocolate and literal shit.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Wouldn't it be hilarious if AI DDOS'd this site? Since it's "going rogue" and all that.

Jews Out! Board Game

Force the Jews beyond the medieval walls and out the city. The first player to rid the city of six Jews wins.

With illustrations of a ‘typical’ Jewish family on the move accompanied by the text, Off to Palestine!

You forgot to mention that it was made, built, shipped, sponsored by, and approved by pedophiles

Lots and lots of pedophiles

Tinfoil hat time-

They want the lawsuits. They've stacked the courts already, they'll win and as a hedge the worst they'll get is told to stop it.

They want the legal precedent from those smaller lawsuits, so Elon and Altman can just start wholesale ripping off games with Grok and GPT-6.

[–] 123@programming.dev 3 points 20 hours ago

They were probably just copying the idea from "Operation Epic Furious Strait to Hell" and doing a game. These guys have no original ideas of their own.

That would really be 4d chess. I’m not sure they are that smart.

I’m going to propose an alternative theory. I think the real reason is because they are childish, immature trolls and revel in causing other people’s misery. Although these two theories are not mutually exclusive.

Very Christian of them, indeed. Exactly the opposite of what the bible dictates.

My vocabulary lacks the words to express the disappointment, the lack of class and what not.

Somebody should do a remake of Hudson Island. It'll be exactly the same but it'll be called Epstein Island and at the end of each stage you rescue a child from a cage.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 71 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I ain't clicking on that game. I wonder what type of telemetry it's gathering....

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 59 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The link is to an IGN article, just in case there is any confusion, not the website itself.

Is entire US of A a shitpost now?

No, shit posts are worthy of your time. Sometimes.

[–] tea_n_typewriters@lemmy.world 59 points 2 days ago

Do they have that one cool game where you play as a 15-year-old child trying to escape Epstein Island, or the other one where you mindlessly black out hundreds of thousands of lines of text while ironically mumbling “fidelity, bravery, integrity” to yourself over and over?

[–] speedythefirst@lemmy.zip 61 points 2 days ago (11 children)

Jesus fucking Christ. The only thing keeping me going at this point is the pure hatred towards the people who support the current American regime.

So they decided that the best way to capture the attention of today's youth is with clones of games made 30 or 40 years ago. Sure, you know what, good job White House, have a cookie. Everybody clap for how well they understand the children and teenagers of 2026.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would not dismiss their influence so cavalierly. The shift right among male youth is very concerning and real.

Yes, this season of Earth is satire. The writers have pivoted away from the Drama genre and gone for something more fun. The Medical Thriller seasons were really unpopular with most demographics.

Chuds complain about woke liberals making games, but when they make games of their own it's shit like this.

This is an abomination.
