Not my game of choice, but as an elderly gamer, this works for me.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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!
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.
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!
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.
Geez man I'd rather be tasked with deciding whether to retaliate a possible nuclear strike. That sounds way less stressful.
Yes. Please. That game is actually fun too

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.
What kids are playing Madden, though?
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.
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.

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).

It would be funny if one of them started cheating
how do you do, fellow kids?
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.
They are both former gamers, this isn't Hillary pretending she is hip.
AOC fell off. From among us to madden? Come on
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.
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...

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
That's straight up evil and will result in a shit load of insults against him.
