Overcooked
Geez man I'd rather be tasked with deciding whether to retaliate a possible nuclear strike. That sounds way less stressful.
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.
Omg that would be great. Like maximum everything too...
Sanders turns out to have no idea how to play a shooter game and the next day every news outlet reports that he defected to the communist automatons
THIS is how you do fellow kids
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.
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...
between this and WoW, are they going to stream any good games?
Would be fun if they streamed Civilization.
Walz: MY WORDS ARE BACKED WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Walz: Oh that is SO you Gandhi, you piece of shit!
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"
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
Well that did it for me. I'm voting Harris!
I want Walz under a real stress test. Set this man up on a ranked league of legends match and in a discord group with his team of randos.
"do you think your mother's would still love you if they knew how bad you were at this game?" - Walz
Are there any crazy glitches/exploits one can do in a modern Madden game that would be akin to taking shots from that one specific spot in Double Dribble where it's 100% guaranteed to go in?
I wanna see one of them just gobsmack the other with that kinda play. lol
Madden though?...
It's probably the game that has the most disaffected centrists playing it.
Plus then it's a nice tie in to Walz's coaching background for that group
It just feels like they missed the opportunity of calling this the Dark Souls of Elections.
So they are both maddening?

Thank you, I will be here all week
I respect the joke, but I simultaneously also respect whoever downvoted the comment nearly instantly :)
It would be funny if one of them started cheating
This is refreshingly wholesome for political news. No bullshit or partisan politics here, just people being human and enjoying some entertainment.
Not my game of choice, but as an elderly gamer, this works for me.
I'd give Walz the edge, but EA never made Madden for the Dreamcast. 🤣
