    I still can’t believe a world potency as big as the fucking United States is publishing fucking deportation minigames to their official fucking website!

    And they use Sega and Microsoft logos to peddle it on Twitter!! And of course they won’t do anything about it legally because lmao why would they?!

    To hell with this clown republic 🤡

    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?

        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.

        the checks and balances

        Once the checks clear, their balances reflect it.

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

      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.

      The subject matter isn’t the parodied thing. It’s not making fun of Tetris. It’s using Tetris in a pretty unrelated way to its actual purposes.

    Maaaaaaaaan…this sucks. At one point in the 90s I had played every version of tetris released.

    I haven’t kept up, but my inner 8 year old is sad. My inner 8 year old wants to play all the tetris, but my outer 42 year old self is keeping my inner 8 year old away from anything trump related.

    My inner 8 year old is sad, but I’ll understand when I grow up…wait, how does this work again?

    As much as I like this move, I think Tetris cannot claim to own the concept of 4 block stacker games, a positive legal outcome could be disasterous for all Tetris fangames.
