Donald Trump’s White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.

I know that this is potentially a spicy thing to post to this community, but I do think it is relevant to games and gaming. They are advertising it with using likenesses of major gaming brands.

    Alles gut.

    First point, well I hope it helps. I spend a lot of time thinking about OpSec and even I feel pretty screwed.

    Second point… well that just sucks. For me the whole point of being here is to do better than reddit. I still think it’s a lot more niche but sometimes that just means the sticks up the asses are different.

    For your Postscript, I understand but to be blunt I don’t think the audience who needs that is here at all. But maybe I’m just cynical and think the people who want skin color to matter are a total lost cause. 🤷

      In this coming dystopia of online surveillance and rogue AIs hacking into systems at speeds being deemed a national security threat globally, any bit of obscurity helps.

      You’re right, skin color shouldn’t matter, and the people who do think that are no better than tribalist savages. But if I can convince even one user reading past my comments to realise that this global polycrisis goes beyond race and religion and is a matter of class war with human extinction on the line, then I consider myself to have tried to help in my own small individual way.
