I guess getting an UE5 game that uses nanite and lumen to run on a Switch was deemed impressive enough (which it is, really) 😄👍

Congrats to @doomcube.bsky.social and @spookydoorway.bsky.social on the release of the Séance of Blake Manor, and the amazing reviews and feedback it has gotten so far.

If you have not heard of this game, looked at this game, bought this game...you should check it out. Like, now.

Not sure who did your interview but I remember being interviewed by Famitsu years ago and walking away with a smile on my face. They seem genuinely curious instead of looking for clickbait soundbites.

Some do, some don't. I was such a fervent advocate for games as its own discipline that I felt encroached upon whenever someone from movies did something for a game, like movie composers scoring a game. We have great game composers, we don't need movie composers! That is silly too, I know.

I feel like anything I could say about this would be undermined by the fact my wife started flirting with me online after hearing my voice on Ventrilo. 😂

It's funny that I say this exact thing about both Alien, both absolute masterpieces which is even more impressive because they are so different.

I'll have to agree. I was not familiar with her, but she's nuts in the best way. I want to write a pirate game now just to put her in it. Captain Jane Sparrow.

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

And I was just about to give you a tough time that "you need to develop games to keep using 'game developer' in your talks" 😂😅

All kidding aside, good to see a new game in the works!

"We're told to" is probably the best single sentence reply you can expect out of anyone in regards to this.

The 19th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1920, barring voting discrimination based on sex. But for women of color, the right to vote wasn’t fully realized until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

105 years later, we're still fighting for equal ballot access for all.

Exclusively by mistake, and often to their regret.

Sorry followers, I used to post more sexual stuff before I was old and fat.

This is a lie, there was no internet when I was young and fit (no causality).

I agree with Bluesky’s decision because the law is insane, but we need to find a way to help these guys out. They do great work.

BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi.

This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org.

We ditched X for BlueSky early this year.

And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof.

I don't know what we'll do next.

Keep up with us using our newsletter at mfp.ms/subscribe.

Bluesky @bsky.app · Aug 22

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

It is much more likely this unconstitutional law will be quashed in courts, and Mississippi people will have bsky back.

But sure, that scenario is possible. Republicans seem to jump on every chance they have to piss people off.

It *is* an ethical refusal, because collecting sensitive personal information and keeping track of minors for the government is not even an ethical dilemma, it's a simple hard NO for anyone who is ethical.
