this has been discussed before but reducing female characters to the girlboss braincell holder in the name of combating misogyny in fandom is ironically also a form of misogyny
this goes as a universal reminder - during migration season, please help birds by turning out your lights early & encouraging local movements for larger organizations to do the same
i really hope dead cells fans do not buy the 'windblown' game by motion twin just because it's "by the creators of dead cells", since motion twin actually cancelled evil empire's* plans for future dead cells content which was planned for at least until 2025 including at least one dlc.
(*evil empire have been developing dead cells since 2019/patch 1.3 of dead cells, for those unaware)
in this announcement post MT claims that they decided the game is finished as it is or whatever and don't want any more updates as to not make the game 'bloated', which sounds pretty reasonable until you remember that all the updates from evil empire are unique and distinct & that motion twin doesn't even make the game anymore as of 2019. so personally i think this 'reasoning' is just random shit they made up to not sound as evil as they are.
not to mention that the whole "by the creators of dead cells" thing they put in their marketing is VERY misleading. obviously motion twin initially created dead cells, yes, but by now there are only about ~3 ppl at motion twin who worked on dead cells. there are ~50 names in the credits of dead cells.
of course i can't stop anyone from buying whatever they want, but i urge people to at least read this blog post by a former dead cells dev. i feel like it's important context a fan might want to know before potentially buying motion twin's new game.
My grandpa’s in the hospital rn and I need to take time off work if you can help please do
Help Spider move/not be in debt!!
Hey y’all, I hate to have to do this again but it’s looking like I have no choice. I’ve been very, very sick for two weeks, and have had to miss work because of it. My next round of bills is going to wipe the floor with me and my savings because I haven’t been able to work.
On top of that, next week I have to return to a job that pays less and treats me poorly, and at the end of May I have to move out of my apartment and will most likely be jobless for a bit unless things line up well.
So… I have to ask for help again. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and rbing/assisting where possible. As with my previous post rbs will be disabled and the post updated when I am secure again
