She didn't turn off the ROG aura, it's cycling through rainbow colors while they're sitting there

I wonder if Fox News will ask her about her laptop with the colorful lights.

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago
  1. Does she have a kid and 2. Did she borrow their laptop?
[-] Phish@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I'm buying Chapo's theory that Trump gave her that instead of paying her. He probably bought it for Baron and Baron told him it sucked and he wants a desktop so Trump art-of-the-dealed his lawyer with it.

That guy looks like his name is Chadwick.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Chadwick looks like he'd run Mint

Fun bit idea would be to claim diplomatic immunity as an emissary of the Republic of Gamers.

[-] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

“The People of Nato recognise the sovereignty of the emissary of the Republic of Gamers.”

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I was going to say a funny bit idea is actally acting like you truly believe he's about to get the book thrown at him every week regardless of all the evidence prior but liberals really aren't leaving any wiggle room for satire.

Trump going on about the golden toilet in Trump Tower while his lawyer is playing Mario 64 on an emulator going BING BING WAHOO!

[-] abc@hexbear.net 71 points 1 year ago

JUDGE: Would the defense like to present anything in light of this evidence?

TRUMP, UNDER HIS BREATH ANGRILY LOOKING AT HIS LAWYER: Say something!!!

LAWYER: Your Honor, take a look at this....[turns laptop around] - this is Starfield. This is the quality of games being released under President Joe Biden, boring empty RPG. Now take a look at this similar game released under my client's Presidency - Elden Ring. How did FromSoft do it? Why couldn't Bethesda with the help they got from Hunter Biden, compete??

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-2objection Take a look at this receipt I'm holding right now, which was archived on the release day of Elden Ring. Notice the line underneath the copy of the game and a 24-pack of Mountain Dew Baja Blast...the date is February 25th, 2022! Your client was not president at the time! This is an attempt to steal gamer valor!

trump-who-must-go

This is the first time I'm hearing this. When I became President in 2016, Hidetaka Miyazaki called me like "Mister President, FromSoftware is doing very poorly. We fumbled the most recent 'Dark Souls III'" He said.

Big game this Dark Souls III was supposed to be - and you know what happened? The gamers like my lawyer can tell you. They didn't like it one bit. FromSoftware was on the verge of bankruptcy!

So I said, "Hideki, Dark Souls III was a failure. It was a total and complete disaster. It's sad. It's very sad. " And he was crying over the phone like a baby, but I said to him, "Hideki...Hideki, listen - you know Tenchu? You need to make a game like that - Barron will love it." Miyazaki was humble. He knew that I was right. And then they made Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice during my Presidency and it saved the company, so really you should be thanking me for Elden Ring.

[-] regul@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

If Sekiro is like Tenchu why don't I get to murder a CEO in the future?

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Sword Saint Isshin would have stayed immortal and have become a future CEO so you did actually

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

JUDGE: Ok, then how do you explain the even more critically acclaimed Bloodborne coming out at the tail end of the Obama presidency?

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

It's baffling how shit Starfield was. On a technical level it was fine (I guess) but that couldn't have made it more boring if they tried. I would say it was scandalously shit considering how hyped it was but it got nowhere near that level of criticism. Maybe they are holding out on mod support.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

It was so ass I was unimpressed after getting it for free. The only way I might buy it is if future mods make the space travel actually functional and do something about the dozen load screens to accomplish one task

He's going to jail

lol yea, i wish

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

The top post on r/politics right now is almost literally "I'd like to see him wiggle out of this one"

Like even if they really believe it you'd think they would have figured out to not write headlines that are basically a reference to the meme about how they keep writing the exact same article.

It's like if they had a completely unironic article titled "Mr Drumpf, you're fired"

[-] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

lmao I thought you were exaggerating but the title literally is:

Rejoice, America: These Trials Should Bring Donald Trump to Ruin - This is the week that the former president’s epic legal misadventures begin. It’s hard to imagine his coming out unscathed

brainworms

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Now this is freaking epic.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Yea my bad should have clarified instead of expecting anybody to be able to not overestimate liberals political brilliance.

[-] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Not at all ! I just wanted to expand on your comment because I found that title extremely funny

[-] abc@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

yeah but the caption wouldn't be as funny with "he's not going to jail and she's playing baldur's gate 3"....actually on second thought its still as amusing lol

[-] RonPaulyShore@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a civil trial and everyone understands it's a civil trial and everyone with a folded brain not stuck in 2017 understands that this is a big L for Mr Trumbo.

[-] Teapot@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

It is impossible for Trump to take an L

[-] regul@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Trump cannot L he can only be L'd.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe he is a fard, a world-historical shid, peepoo itself.

This is representation for the kids in high school who brought big, loud, constantly overheating alienware laptops to class and played league of legends at lunch.

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago

...you brought laptops to class?

Barron has had so much influence on his family('s lawyers).

[-] ultraviolet@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

disappointed it's not the wet boi himself 😔

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

he's a man of culture, that's why he's got the desktop monitor, a big noisy tower under the desk, and he's playing counterstrike

[-] AynRandsGrindcoreBand@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

It's more likely a 30 series card, given the shape of the screen / lid and the thickness - I have the 20 series of the same laptop and it isn't that thick or have the offset shape on the screen.

Decent workhorse for graphic and 3D work. Set up properly it'll render out images all day without falling over like a lot of other supposedly workstation-class laptops I have used.

My boy Trump on trial just for being a gamer, what is this country coming to gamer-gulag

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Doing the SBF thing and idly playing league while in court to impress the jurors.

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

there's a sucker born every day.
