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.

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.

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

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.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] apftwb@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

So many circuses, so little bread.

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

I'm at a loss for words.

Your taxes paid for this

Gamergate was the worst thing to happen to this world

[-] TransNeko@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

So was Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.

[-] speedythefirst@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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

Lots and lots of pedophiles

[-] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

OK why are there so many pedophiles? There's way more than I thought.

[-] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Because we didn’t drag them out into the street for justice as we found them - for whatever reason these morons started electing them

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

[-] iamthetot@piefed.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

Looks like you won't miss out on anything. These look like cheap Ai slop generated slop slop.

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.

How is this even legal? They blatantly use styling and brand recognition to imitate popular brands for selling their products.

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

“How is this even legal?” betrays a certain out-of-the-loopness. Trump’s is a post-law administration.

Simple: Any company who sues gets sanctioned. It‘s a fascist oligarch government run by the Epstein class.

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!

[-] Jiral@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Interestingly, that game was never sanctioned by the Nazis and leading figures actually disliked it for trivialising their serious goal of ... genocide. It was a money grab product by a company that wanted to cash in on the jew hate. At least that is what is written about the game.

Deeply, deeply unserious.

That's what the US is now.

[-] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is an abomination.

[-] Malica@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Now with malware!

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] thiscat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

This sounds like something out of a parody of Evil dystopian governments

[-] tea_n_typewriters@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks 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?

[-] MrOtingocni@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Is entire US of A a shitpost now?

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

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Your tax dollars at work!

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

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 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

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.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] 123@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks 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.
