It serves nicely as an opportunity to remind onlookers that Trump avoided military service using his supposed 'bone spurs' as a reason he was unfit, though. Nothing like reminding these idiots that their tough guy is that tough

The Covenant might be religious fanatics but they're actually capable of working with other religious fanatics, in mutual cooperation.

MAGAs are more like Species 8472, utterly hostile to anything that doesn't conform to their very narrow and ill informed worldview, even to the point of being hostile to potential allies, thus alienating them.

Also the SPARTAN program was pretty fucked, so this just looks bad in every way IMO.

Also if Trump is any Halo character, he's the Prophet of Truth

Honestly PC gamer has been pretty solid lately. Not sure why. Almost makes me nervous.

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.

Just like with Starship Troopers, satire like this goes flying over people's heads so low and fast, it breaks the sound barrier and loosens dentalwork.

Beneath the layers is Microsoft allowing a fascist regime, that Microsoft donated money to, to use their IP in facist promoting material.

I look forward to the day Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple get broken up.

also in-lore the UNSC nuked an entire planet because they couldn't stop a rebellion on it

https://www.halopedia.org/Far_Isle

Far Isle was a human colony planet, within Unified Earth Government space. The colony was the site of what is considered to be one of the United Nations Space Command's worst atrocities; in response to a rebellion in 2492 that they were unable to quell, the UNSC razed the colony using nuclear weapons, leaving no survivors.

Yes, Halo is what they believe, the plot of Halo is just standard 2000s South Park conservatism. Fascism is bad I guess but you libs will come crying to the SS for help when the space Muslims attack, so is it really bad?

Find your thing, mute the rest.

Feel this 100% as an American though.

Instead of Mexican Joker we'll have Mexican Chief

lmao they didn't even try to color correct the piss filter

Yeah it almost reads like Microsoft has endorsed the Trump administration and its marketing. Like a forced brand crossover. These things aid in the far right pipeline. Has young men thinking hating immigrants is as cool and mainstream as Halo.

illegal use of copyrighted materials

It's quite literally the least bad thing they've done across two terms in office.

Given that the use of these songs implies tacit approval from the artist

Who seriously believes that? We're so beyond "Death of the Artist" at this point. FFS, I can't count the number of times I've heard the chorus line of Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA" played full on patriotically, without a tinge of irony or self-reflection.

Doesn’t matter. They’re cultivating and growing the alternate universe for far right suckers to live in.

Flooding the zone too stronk

Even if I support the message: Fuck AI

Firework isn't consistently in front of the letters or in the background and switches between the two.

of course they are. they aid genocide abroad, why wouldn’t they do it at home too?

Considering how dependent on M$ servers and products the 'murican government is, Microsoft could easily push for a MAD standoff against them

I understand your outrage but silence is not consent. It is fear. Apply that phrase to any other situation where consent is required and that would be considered victim blaming.

Now M$ COULD be fine with this, we truly don't know, but they could also be afraid of how the administration would retaliate against them if they spoke up. I do agree with you when you say these companies are cowardly.

But that would never happen because, you know, money.

And all it cost them was $1,000,000 donated to the inauguration fund

Damn, now I want a mod that replaces all Covenant enemies with these fascists, and replace all their voice lines with actual quotes they've said.

You could do Stephen Miller for the Prophets, Trump for the Elites, and maybe Alex Jones or something for the Grunts.

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.

From who? They funded the Epstein Ballroom.

Microsoft declining to comment may as well be a confession that they gave this shit the go-ahead

Probably. Trump will probably sue Microsoft for stealing his battle suit for video games.
