One of the games, Build the Wall, borrows heavily from Tetris. Players stack falling blocks to defend the southern border during a “zombie border siege” and “protect the border from the coming horde.”

Allowing the blocks to reach the top of the screen triggers a “border breached” message.

 

Ahhh, this administration's usual level of not thinking things through rears its idiotic head again. This basically says building the wall is counterproductive, and you win by keeping it down.

The people in charge are, to put it in terms trump would understand, completely retarded. What I don't understand is where the checks and balances they swore kept the government running are. I haven't seen a single check or balance that has any effect yet, where the fuck are they? Was it always a lie?

Republicans have a trifecta, and a 6-3 scotus majority.

And now is when we find out that the checks and balances were always more of an honor-system than your government teacher would have you believe.

the checks and balances

Once the checks clear, their balances reflect it.

Oh, you meant different checks and different balances. Never mind.

Honestly, I'd completely phased this word out of my vocabulary, but describing MAGA admins are the one time I will use it. It's the only thing that accurately describes them. Elon wanted to bring it back so badly, why not use it to tell him what friendless retard he actually is.

You don’t need to use slurs.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 hours ago

You're not wrong. But for some reason any MAGA I talk to gets more riled up about being called that than a loser, a fascist, a Nazi, or anything else.

Maybe it's petty of me, but I'm also pretty done with them calling me a sand n-word for having slightly tanned skin in the summer.

[–] shartgargle@lemmy.zip 0 points 6 hours ago

I generally agree. And I never use the word anymore, but I get where they're coming from. Personally I wouldn't say it cause it gives them permission to say it as well, and they'll abuse it til it's lexicon again. So personally I'd rather use loser, stupid or any of the other words that also describe them.

However I'm sure in person, arguing with a MAGAt would piss me off to the point of saying it. That's why I just openly disregard these people off the cuff. Roll my eyes and move on. Like what they're saying isn't even worth reacting to because it's so beneath me.

They were gonna send every dumbass a 1776 check... so... but yeah they didn't do that either

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd bet real money that those """games""" were all slop coded.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They completely missed the point of Tetris.

The score is how much the tax payer has put in to maintain something that will always end with Game Over. Well, unless the builder starts transcending end-game via loopholes, which is likely. At which point the score's rolling K economy harder than ever.
