DHS will continue using game and pop culture iconography in messaging
DHS will continue using game and pop culture iconography in messaging
The US Department of Homeland Security says it will continue using pop culture imagery, including from video games, to 'bring awareness' to unproven claims of widespread crime by undocumented immigrants.

The Summer of Strange Scaffold is a celebration of a milestone for us.
Once Co-op Kaiju launches, we have made and released SIX GAMES in the last 2 YEARS!
So, we want to discuss that! Highs and lows, with the many people who brought these games to life in videos, podcasts and more!

happy easter everyone 🐰♥️
![Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i6ocendj65mmddfndihajsky/bafkreid4y3gbxwc5dg4mbzycsbij2lkhte22722ei7rupowkzm7juimqvy@jpeg)

As you dive into @compulsiongames.bsky.social's South of Midnight today, almost everything you engage with is tied to Southern folklore and culture. Creole, Cajun, Appalachian, and more. If you want to learn more about the real stories that inspire it - or even the blue paint, check out my piece <3
The Real Southern Folklore Behind South of Midnight's World
South of Midnight is a love letter to the American South and in that we can find the real Southern folklore that inspires the game.

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️
Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

If you missed my Babygirls talk at GDC, Bryant did a very generous write up and made me sound really smart. 😉
I had to write up @alexaray.bsky.social's GDC talk. It swung from joyfully unhinged to exceptionally practical and all the way around to a plea for sincerity in game design.
Embracing our weirdness can make for better games!

In this case, I would like to break the cycle and the silence on my own erasure. Since the night of the GDC Awards, I often think about what I would have said if I had been given the opportunity to speak. I think it would have been something like this:
