Tomorrow at 3pm
Can we have a real talk?
I want them see how well they work together in extremely stressful situations… Get Kamala, Walz, AoC, and maybe uh, Sanders playing HELLDIVERS II!
Make them play Chained Together
God no. That game is horrible. Me and my friend started getting angry at each other after trying to climb that starting tower
I do not recommend . We don’t want one of them to quit their job
I played it with 4 people and we got really far. You just have to learn to communicate.
This I might actually care about and watch.
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.
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
Nah how about fuck off. 😊
I don’t want politicians on twitch or any where near games. Yall are toxic enough as it is. Leave my hobby alone. The one place I can go to escape your bullshit.
It’s pretty suspect that these totally understandable comments are getting obliterated with downvotes. Keeping American politics out of video games is a reasonable ask.
So just don’t watch then? It’s incredibly easy to just not participate.
Even easier than going on the internet to complain about it, in fact.
Totally. Not only will I not watch it but I will prefer if they fuck off.
You know what’s even easier? If they fuck off.
Hmm so let’s see. Me not watch, or they fuck off. Hard choice.
I know. They can fuck off AND I will not watch.
Ugh, sportsball? That’s not gonna get gamers. That’s gonna get dudebros that would have bullied nerds in the 1980s but now play competitive BS video games.
It’s still a video game.
It might be one of the lamer segments of the gaming market, since the games are basically the same each year, but with updated stats.
Personally, they should go retro with some short order(NES powerpad, basically a memory game, styled as a short order cook making giant burgers.), or maybe some n64 Mariocart. I bet Walz can hit all the RR shortcuts.
Is DDR old enough to be retro now? That could be fun, too.
Aren’t the dudebros in the biggest group of trump supporters? They should target them instead of preaching to the choir.
So gimmicky. AOC is listening to DNC strategy morons way too much. This makes the party look even more out of touch, not more relatable. Same with the "X has a beer with “Y” articles. This is all Joe Biden/centrist reacharound logic.
Doesn’t AOC do twitch anyways? This isn’t her first time doing this.
It would be funny if one of them started cheating
how do you do, fellow kids?
They are both former gamers, this isn’t Hillary pretending she is hip.
ah yes, madden players are famously kids.
they aren’t streaming roblox. they’re streaming madden because he pricks probably used to play it decades ago in between sessions of WoW.
I think they chose to play Madden because Walz used to be a football coach.
This is stupid. I didn’t vote for these two to play video games.
I’m betting you’ve never voted for either of these two.
As a Minnesotan, I have voted for Walz twice. I have even spoken to him directly.
did you point out that you only voted with the condition that he was never supposed to have fun? maybe he missed that.
No, we discussed public education.
There is a difference between him having fun and and a meaningless publicity stunt.
meaningless publicity stunt? you know he’s running for vice president, right? this is essentially a rally.
Yes I know he’s running for VP. Playing games on line is a publicity stunt and not a political rally. It’s a “Hey look at me! I’m cool because I streamed playing a video game to show how cool I am!” stunt.
It might impress small children, but not adults. Not that it matters much to me. I already voted for Harris/Walz based on platform NOT on a stupid streamed video game.
well you’re wrong on several accounts. this is just another platform to campaign on.
between this and WoW, are they going to stream any good games?
AOC did among us during the previous election
Musk is streaming a full playthrough of the Leisure Suit Larry series.
Leisure suit larry is a good nickname for musk. Although it soils the leisure suit larry brand.
Loser suit Larry seems more musky.
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.
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 BACKED WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Walz: Oh that is SO you Gandhi, you piece of shit!
John Madden
Not my game of choice, but as an elderly gamer, this works for me.
Wallz by 21
AOC fell off. From among us to madden? Come on
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.
Bernie and AOC have me scratching my head in confusion more often lately.
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.
Too sticky. I hear you. Could have hit them. But I think it would bring up way too many political arguments on Twitch.
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.
I’m fall 2020, I think I was in a game of LoL with AOC. She famously played Support, but I was paired up as a newbie support paired with an account AOC-ADC. I was not really good and died early. I asked the account if they really were AOC, and they told me to go vote!
She also accused me of intentionally dying, and I told her I wasn’t. I told her I was sorry that I was just bad. We ended up losing, mostly because of me.
So that’s my dumb AOC gaming story.
“do you think your mother’s would still love you if they knew how bad you were at this game?” - Walz
deleted by creator
That’s straight up evil and will result in a shit load of insults against him.
That’s pretty rad.
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.
Both Walz and aoc play video games already.
What kids are playing Madden, though?
Which edition of Madden are we up to now? Like 57?
No, because we’re not in the year 2056 (sports gsmes tend to have the next year in the title, like cars).
Aged boomers who are regressing to an unempathetic childlike state.
Although a good chunk of them act like it, Boomers aren’t actually kids.
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.
People who lead boring normal lives.
Most people who own consoles I guess the
Hey! I own consoles and the only sports game I’ve purchased in 20 years was the new CFB game, and immediately remembered why I don’t buy sports games unless Mario is involved
The what? THE WHAT???
The poor son of a gun! They never got a chance to finish their
All these unfinished comments are going to drive me to
Goddammit Candleja
Scream.
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.
Correct
My friend groups are. And the new NCAA game. Video Games and Football, there is truely no greater combination of american values
What’s NCAA like vs Madden?
I haven’t played the most recent one, or madden for that matter, so this based on experience from about 15-20 years ago but I’m sure it’ll be mostly the same. First and foremost, there are some rule differences. Second, there are different strategies, formations, and plays. Third, you have different players with greater diversity in talent level. Fourth, the teams are different, which might mean more to some than others. And finally, the commentators are different, the last time, they had the cat known for whistling, which was funny. I can’t remember his name.
I bought the most recent CFB, I was both excited for the season and intrigued since it had been 15ish years. It is really polished and cool for what it is, but I forgot I hated it back in day and still hate it now. But it was really well done
Sports games are one of the few genres that are couch competition friendly.
A handful of small executive yachts worth of kids are judging by the numbers.
