I like him even more now

Walz likes video games? Like a third of the entire planet does? What a weirdo, so unrelatable.

Walz is the guy who will join your 3 man group in Phantasy Star Online at 2 AM to go take down Dark Falz.

The fact that’s it was the Dreamcast of all consoles puts so much respect on it tbh.

The republicans really, really do hate being called weird, don’t they.

Wow! They're really struggling to attack him! He's gotta be squeaky clean if this is the best they can do!

I despise Republicans so much. Bro your candidate is a rapist insurrectionist who spent all day in the White House watching TV. Now he's using Twitter's AI to make fake images of himself being popular.

Glad being called "weird" is enraging them this bad, though.

No charlie, that's not that weird. In fact it happens all the time.

Dude... he has a fucking Dreamcast? Tim Walz is the dad I never had.

I'm really sick of the age thing when it comes to gaming. Tons of middle-aged and older men spend hours watching sportsball every week, but nobody gives them shit.

This just makes me respect him more.

Dreamcast was a fantastic console, but it didn't have much success in the US due to poor marketing decisions.

The fact that Waltz recognized its value back then shows good judgement IMO.

I don't find that anecdote weird, but I do find searching through the life events of some politician to find things to signify that he's weird to be creepy and fucking weird.

But that's par for the course for you, Chuckie, you fucking balloon headed weirdo. Get a real job you mutant potato.

On the scale of "weird shit"

Being addicted to videogames<fucking couches

Imagine:

You enjoy your hobbies. And you have a good enough relationship with your spouse that you’re able to keep each other accountable in simple small ways.

What a weird way to live!

He supports a criminal who openly lusts for his own daughter.

But please, tell me how too much video games is the issue here.

If this is real I smell a “Gamers for Waltz” fundraiser soon

You mean Tim Walz is one of us?

Way to lose the gamer vote, Trump

Kirk should be very careful about accusing anyone of being weird, a liar or a racist - those are qualities he has on his own resume.

I already like Walz you don't have to sell me on him.

That is quite the laboured attempt at insulting Walz. Like the worst thing you can say about him is that he, like so many humans, got hooked on a video game? You're really not finding anything on this guy, Republicans, you fucking weirdos.

They're trying to turn weird around? Fucking LMFAO!

Is the defense familiar with the "I'm rubber, you're glue" gambit?

I'd say the story shows more character than anything.

Meaning "This politician sometimes knows how to realize when they're obsessed with something and will take steps to make sure they back off of it".

I like when politicians have functioning frontal lobes and can self-moderate. Usually it makes them far less extremist, or likely to be extreme in their viewpoints.

Tinyface McGhee is trying to dictate who is weird? Talk about pure deflection. That clown is basically in a villain group for talentless weirdos (along with Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Tomi Lahren, Matt Walsh, and Steven Chowder).

And after all the weird shit Kirk and company have pushed over the years, they are gonna have to do a lot better than Walz being hooked on playing a games console.

Dang, I wonder if Coach was really into Crazy Taxi. Or maybe Space Channel 5? 🛸

Come on Lemmy, it is in the contract:

Bumping up on 50 here. I'll be playing something or other before bed tonight, maybe PC maybe PS5... who knows, but it will be fun... and it will actually be IN BED... and in the background will probably be the DNC nomination acceptance speech. It isn't weird, it is relatable...

Also, if he was playing Soulcalibur on Dreamcast then who can blame him. That was one of the few games my attention span actually pushed through from start to finish.

I've never been a GQ model, but I've not yet understood how someone who literally looks like Butthead has become such a focus. I feel like I missed out on being a pundit.

GAME ON FOREVER MY FRIENDS

What a very weird, sad thing for a very weird, sad person to say.

Anyway, my Saturn crawled so that the Dreamcast could fly.

The stuff they say is cringe af. They try SO HARD.

Are they weirded out that he didn't beat her like a conservative man would if his wife did that? And are they going to pretend there aren't countless women fed up with their manchildren conservative husbands?

They attacked gamers.
Gamers.

(I don't remember how the rest of the copypasta goes, because I'm a leftist video game enjoyer and try to distance myself from Gamers®.)

That said this probably won't go anywhere. In the Gamergate days the right wingers kept outright insulting Gamers® and the Gamers® just did some mental gymnastics. Political literacy among Gamers® has gone to even deeper depths since.

I was pretty addicted to league and my wife had to give me an ultimatum. It was affecting my sleep and work.

I haven't touched that crack in 8 months.

They attacked gamers. Gamers.
