⬇️ this is why I wrote a whole four subsection clause in our development contracts guaranteeing the rights of our employees and contractors to 1) be credited 2) be credited wherever credits are shown 3) mention the product as previous work 4) include materials in personal portfolios (after release).
credits that include the names of everyone who worked on the game at any point

Yes it's an almost 10 year old game. Yes, I know some people have made insane things, but damn it I am proud of this one.

I guess getting an UE5 game that uses nanite and lumen to run on a Switch was deemed impressive enough (which it is, really) 😄👍
We are excited to announce that our Nintendo Switch port of "Life is Strange: Double Exposure" has been nominated for a Dutch Game Award in the Technical Achievement category!
@square-enix-games.com @deckninegames.com
The Dutch Game Awards are held on December 3rd. 🤞🥳👉👈

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.

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.

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.

Hesitantly but determined, I have decided after much contemplation to readily come out and admit that yes, I have purchased tampons for my daughters before.
I vehemently apologize to all men who are so insecure that this offends them. Nothing is more manly than taking care of the people you love.
