Politics Comes to Your Games (or at least Animal Crossing)

  • I saw this article this morning and thought it was interesting enough to post here.

    Basically, the Biden-Harris campaign has introduced virtual yard signs for your Animal Crossing spaces. You can decorate your space with four different yard signs that you can get through the Nintendo Switch Online app. On the other side, Trump supporters have made unofficial yard signs for his campaign, although there are apparently no plans for the campaign to roll out official ones.

    Question...does anybody want to actually put a campaign yard sign on their online stuff? Second question...don't the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris avatars on the link page look adorable?!? They look so happy! Kamala looks like she's about to start jumping up and down. ^-^

  • Hello, dog-faced gamers, it's me, your old Uncle Joe, boy howdy this gaming thing is a hootenanny and a half, why just yesterday I caught me a sailfish, and did I ever tell you when me and this dude, boy he was the baddest dude ever in the little town we grew up in but his name was Corn Pop, well see we went out on a motorboat and let me tell you those were some of the finest tatas I ever saw, I just gave them this great huge sniff like, wow, what do you do with your hair, is it lavender, cause I tell ya I smell lavender and isn't that just the regular bees' knees, which is a huge problem because of this whole colony collapse thing and it's just something the Republicans don't talk about but we Democrats are very concerned about, we love the farmers, bum bum bum bum bum, and long story short let me just say to vote for Hillary cause she'll be amazing, I cannot wait for our first woman president next year in 2008!

  • If you haven't had enough Joe Biden in Animal Crossing from his campaign signs, you can now visit his virtual field office in the game, which is simply called "Team Joe". There you can enjoy Biden-themed stuff from model trains to ice cream stands, as well as the campaign flyers and posters you'd expect.

    You can read the full article about it here: https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/16/21519505/joe-biden-animal-crossing-new-horizons-biden-hq-campaign-election
