HN is intented for mildly pleasant experiences only.

That's not actually true, though, is it? Or is there some other HN legal document besides https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ?

Joking about an office building exploding is contextually not a funny joke

Even worse, they didn't make a joke about the game "being on Steam".

As long as no one died or got seriously injured, I see no problem in cracking jokes.

It didn't land, but bad jokes aren't a crime
