I’ve been a fan of Halo since CE, so many memories and custom games, I got legendary editions and autographs from chief and cortanas va’s, in no way are the white house’ shit posts diminishing all of that, after all this is just the churned SLOP of some intern. I sure as shit won’t be buying anything Halo or XBOX, spineless corporation…I saw this one post DHS about Destroying the Flood??
Gates is on it for sure, i believe melinda split over something similar. and his shitck of trying to reinvent his own image, so the epstein files dont bite him in the end. his vaccine iniative is nothing more than scheme, since african countries has considered the vaccine as part of vaccine colonialism.
This is why while I love 40k, I have mixed feelings about there ever being a mainstream movie/show about it. I can already imagine MAGA wearing shirts saying “Purge the xeno scum”
We do have to hold Microsoft to a very slightly different standard, because they’re a Military Contractor. They’re not going to risk hundreds of billions of dollars to take a stance and make a statement. In that sense, this should not surprise anybody.
It is, though. It’s one thing for some random artist to condemn the current admin, a totally different thing for a massive military contractor to. That is a different standard.
If Trump made himself an AI Trump Mickey Mouse video and somebody specifically asked reanimated Walt Disney for comment, that would be shocking. If a similar circumstance happened to Boeing or Northrop Grumman, then… No shit no comment.
Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck. I have SOOOOOO MUCH SHIT BLOCKED and I still have to see this invasive fucking shit fucking EVERYWHERE IN FUCKING LEMMY. fuck you fuck everyone fuck all this endless fucking fellatio you give this fucking twat. Just shut the fuck up and stop sharing the images and name and giving it attention. Holy fucking shit it’s god damn inescapable.
Man. I’m sorry you are experiencing reality. But like, maybe you should be aware of what is happening?
The fact that you are more mad about reading an article from PC gamer than that hundreds of thousands of people are being abducted says a lot about you.
Some of us used to care and the endless exhaustion is too much. I simply am a person trying to exist, and I only continue to shrink how much bullshit I consume more and more and more since it infects everything.
Not wanting to see horrible shit constantly doesnt equate to not caring.
Dont worry. I’m getting fucked hard. By my government that hates me and by people like you who think they don’t need to even be informed of current events.
The apathy and inaction from you and your ilk is fucking me hard, and has killed many.
Where the Trump-as-Master Chief post is merely cringeworthy, the Homeland Security message is flat-out dangerous. Comparing immigrants in the US to a parasitic alien life form that infects and annihilates advanced societies is not deeply offensive, it’s also rooted in the worst of human history: As seen in the untermenschen of the Holocaust and “cockroaches” in Rwanda, to name a couple recent examples, dehumanizing the “other” so you can more easily inflict cruelty, injustice, and horrors upon them is hardly a new technique, and the US government’s messaging was not subtle.
You might think that using imagery from one of its best known videogames in a call to “destroy” immigrants would prompt Microsoft to action, or at least to express some small modicum of disapproval. For now, at least, you would be wrong: Rather like Nintendo, which eagerly picks copyright fights it knows it can win but kept its mouth tightly zipped when Homeland Security used Pokémon to promote violent immigration raids, a representative told PC Gamer that “Microsoft does not have anything to share on this matter.”

Good to know! I’ve just been having regular encounters with high quality content from there, rather than being a regular reader, so I haven’t had any awareness of anything in the background.
In a world full of “gaming journalists have no place in an era of AI” this is really heartening to hear
In Contact Harvest, Truth learns of a new species that has been discovered, and apparently the old Forerunner scanners say the humans have a lot of holy Forerunner artifacts that are indicated by this symbol:
Truth goes to talk to the old Forerunner AI kept prisoner in the basement and says “You guys didn’t provide a legend with your scanners, what’s this thing?”
Mendicant Bias the Forerunner AI explains, “Oh, that’s the symbol for Reclaimer. Reclaimers are the people my old bosses chose to inherit our empire after they all kicked the bucket.”
Truth says “Wait, you’re saying this is a planet full of demigods?”
Mendicant Bias is like “Yeah, haha, I guess if you insist on worshipping my creators as gods, then you’d better start worshipping these people instead from now on. They’re supposed to be your new bosses.”
Truth says “No, absolutely not. I worked much too hard to become a space pope and I’m not letting the second coming of Jesus get in the way of my plans. I’m going to declare a space jihad against these new aliens so nobody finds out they’re demigods.”
Anyway, the new species were humans and the Covenant declared a holy war and nearly wiped humanity out. Truth also ordered a genocide of the Sangheili after the Sangheili generals started asking a few too many tricky questions like “why are we having a space jihad against the humans they seem nice”

Guaranteed, he’s going to count the Console Wars in his list of wars he’s ended.
Oh my god, theyre gonna activate the ring!
Come to think of it, the Covenant have a lot in common with American brand millennial Evangelists. Leaning really hard on immanentising the eschaton.
There is still time to stop the key from turning.
How many Microsoft executives are on the Epstein files?
Gates is on it for sure, i believe melinda split over something similar. and his shitck of trying to reinvent his own image, so the epstein files dont bite him in the end. his vaccine iniative is nothing more than scheme, since african countries has considered the vaccine as part of vaccine colonialism.
They said Microsoft executives though, which Gates is not.
This is why while I love 40k, I have mixed feelings about there ever being a mainstream movie/show about it. I can already imagine MAGA wearing shirts saying “Purge the xeno scum”
The DHS equating people being arrest &OR deported to fighting the flood was surreal. I had to do a double take.
Lmao that fat fuck could not fit in that suit.
Doesn’t matter. They’re cultivating and growing the alternate universe for far right suckers to live in.
We do have to hold Microsoft to a very slightly different standard, because they’re a Military Contractor. They’re not going to risk hundreds of billions of dollars to take a stance and make a statement. In that sense, this should not surprise anybody.
No, we really don’t have to hold them in a different standard. It makes sense they are kowtowing to the fascist regime though
Yes my entire point is that what they’re doing makes sense. It would actually be strange if the did anything differently given their position.
Right, so no need to say anything about different standards
It is, though. It’s one thing for some random artist to condemn the current admin, a totally different thing for a massive military contractor to. That is a different standard.
If Trump made himself an AI Trump Mickey Mouse video and somebody specifically asked reanimated Walt Disney for comment, that would be shocking. If a similar circumstance happened to Boeing or Northrop Grumman, then… No shit no comment.
Not when it comes to fascists
Draft dodger say what?
Also, that flag would only have been valid for a week in 1889.
The suit is jacking him off
Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck. I have SOOOOOO MUCH SHIT BLOCKED and I still have to see this invasive fucking shit fucking EVERYWHERE IN FUCKING LEMMY. fuck you fuck everyone fuck all this endless fucking fellatio you give this fucking twat. Just shut the fuck up and stop sharing the images and name and giving it attention. Holy fucking shit it’s god damn inescapable.
Get so fucking fucked fucking assholes!!!
Then don’t click on it, asshole! There is plenty of shit on here that I don’t care about, but I don’t bitch about it. I just scroll on.
Fuck you!
I scroll on 99% of the time and/or hide it.
Fuck you.

Get fucked.
Dont worry. I’m getting fucked hard. By my government that hates me and by people like you who think they don’t need to even be informed of current events.
The apathy and inaction from you and your ilk is fucking me hard, and has killed many.
Probably because Trump gave them a $12 billion dollar tax break…
Edit: Billion
And all it cost them was $1,000,000 donated to the inauguration fund
Fuckin hell
Unexpectedly good political commentary from checks notes PC Gamer
Honestly PC gamer has been pretty solid lately. Not sure why. Almost makes me nervous.
Staff shake-up last year. Phil Savage and Tyler Wilde have really stepped it up and let their writers sound off.
Like any of the major sites though, the news side still has its share of articles generated from one-liners sourced from interviews ran elsewhere.
Good to know! I’ve just been having regular encounters with high quality content from there, rather than being a regular reader, so I haven’t had any awareness of anything in the background. In a world full of “gaming journalists have no place in an era of AI” this is really heartening to hear
Also if Trump is any Halo character, he’s the Prophet of Truth
Nah truth was actually well spoken and was a decent leader. He’d be regret.

Donald J Trumps Mjolnir armor would require a XXL waste system.
