There's a way the Australian govt could immediately lower suicide rates, while also improving the chances of Domestic & Family Violence victims escaping abusive situations, but they won't do it bcos Big Business will get mad at them for giving lower income workers a decent safety net.

The Israeli military is now carrying out potentially lethal drone strikes targeting civilian vessels hundreds of miles away solely on account of the passengers' intention to symbolically challenge the blockade that Israel is using to starve all Gaza to death.
Pure evil.

Soon, I'm going to remove everything I sell on DriveThruRPG, and I will never use it again
I'm scared, because I don't make much money and around half is from DriveThruRPG
but im done
problem with making any hyperbolic statement abt video games as a medium is that I assume for every game that scrapes by into the western canon there's like 50 untranslated taiwan-only DOS RPGs that have been running since 1989 that are probably just as good as Chrono Trigger that I'll never play
