Blue shells in mario cart are communist propaganda

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Balatro is E for everyone 10+ in freedom ratings. We don't give any shits about gambling imagery over here (Yes, I know balatro is not gambling and the PEGI rating is BS).

Good Christian Americans would never go anywhere near gambling or gambling paraphernalia.

What about if you're gambling for Jesus?

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

well if it’s a church raffle or charity slot machines then that’s fine

Is that gambling in a Canadian tuxedo or gambling with jeans? Every hand you lose your pants...

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not familiar with what is meant by Canadian tuxedo, so gambling with jeans.

[–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Jean shirt, jean jacket, and jean pants is the Canadian tuxedo

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for explaining!

The Magic School Bus is an affront to God™ because it contains both evil magics and education.

[–] ranandtoldthat@beehaw.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

They also have a book about human evolution. 😵

The heretics who don't stop at one magic are the worst.

Crash Bandicoot got me hooked on crystals

Final Fantasy

[–] Commiunism@beehaw.org 20 points 2 weeks ago

Disco Elysium features communism and communists (bad) but also has a couple of homosexuals (a secret cabal of organized people dead-set on destroying the ideals of nuclear family) as characters. I'd suggest you guys avoid the game at all costs, it's too dangerous.

What other video games have been secretly eroding the very fabric of American society?

You do realise that PEGI stands for Pan European Game Information, right?

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 22 points 2 weeks ago

I think you might have missed that this question is sarcastic and the intent was to prompt stupid interpretations of video games. i.e. Mario Kart is communist because it only gives the lower class (losers) access to the deadliest weapon (the blue shell) in order to take out the upper class (the leader)

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 13 points 2 weeks ago

Then why is the acronym in American then. There ain’t no countries in the EU that speak American. /s

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

And the game itself was made by a Canadian, while we're at it.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 11 points 2 weeks ago

carmageddon got a sequel a few years ago and nobody batted an eye. kinda makes you miss the old days.

Harvest Moon teaches that everybody can own land and live a good life self-sustainable off of his own work.

Tip: Don't post when you're high.

Someone hid the sharpies from them.

Satisfactory promotes a good work ethic, no problem here.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Streamlining and optimizing work, fixing technical debt and killing bugs. Yup, looks good

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Minecraft has subliminal woke propaganda (there are splashes that appear on the title screen, some of them being pro-LGBTQ+)

There is also a really huge proportion of Minecraft modders that are trans which may be because of the woke subliminal messaging

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

ironic given how transphobic and homophobic notch is.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

Him selling it was probably the best thing to happen to Minecraft.

Imagine if JK Rolling didn't just license Harry Potter, but actually sold the IP

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Diablo 3 had a rainbow in it somewhere, clearly woke garbage.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Tetris is Russian propaganda that teaches children doing good work is pointless as it will just be taken away and you'll be forced to do it again until you do it half assed.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pokémon taught children everywhere that if they enter strangers' houses without warning, the strangers might randomly give them useful objects that help them in life.

See: every RPG ever.

Super Mario Bros promotes the consumption of psychedelics.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

The Sims. It's an affront to God that a human gets to play God if they're not a billionaire or religious Christian leader.

Spore. That game is another affront to God because it teaches the harmful idea that creatures can change through evolution, which goes against God because He created all creatures and they have never ever changed and obviously look the exact same as they did when he created the Earth 6k years ago.

Mortal Kombat on SNES. Hilary Clinton said it's a super realistic violent video game and since then there has never been anything near as violent. That game is the most violent game to ever exist and there is nothing that will ever top it.

And finally, the worst game of all:

/S

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

this, according to my teachers who hated me missing all that homework because of it

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago
[–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Definitely not Rust. Very wholesome game.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

It was definitely the first persistent survival game that taught me I don't have the time or energy for that genre.
