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.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because
a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked
b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Quick PSA to newer J>E game translators that if you run into this legalese, it's only referring to the actual rom data and should always be translated as such. There are multiple terms that can be misconstrued if you don't bear this in mind, especially since it's boilerplate text in Japanese games.

Steam and Itch taking down games they host is a problem for game preservation - and of course, I'm not a fan of people trying to censor what creators can express.
This is one of the many reasons Ren'Py is free, and why its license means I can't censor what is made with it.
