I’m not someone who is typically susceptible to moral panics, but we cannot call ourselves a virtuous society when we have companies like Kalshi and Polymarket gleefully offering gambling odds on real-life war and genocide.

stop caring forever

27.01.2026 22:29 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

one of my dreams is to be able to include more people each year, but Stop Caring is not profitable: all the money I get goes into the pockets of guest contributors.

Also, I am not concerned with scalability or profit, only quality.

If I have the will and the money, Stop Caring will live on.

Portable Permadeath with Caves of Qud on Switch - Unwinnable Qud is so much more than its emergent stories.

"So how does all that nonsense work on the Switch? Astonishingly well, it turns out."

I am an anarchist because those 85 children deserved to live lives free of oppression and fear that at any moment their lives would be snuffed out.

The thing is that this isn’t just weakness from Democrats like Schumer, it’s a performance so they can help launder a war they fully support

they will tell you that they need to do regime change iran to liberate the women, and while you docilely repeat their propaganda they will bomb a girls school in broad daylight and laugh at how much contempt they have for you for buying their lies

Im 38 and have never known a day in my life where the dems and republicans weren't salivating at the chance to bomb Iran. The amount of lies and propaganda we've been fed for decades was always going culminate into this.

Solidarity with the people of Iran forever.

I’m just so fucking sad right now. This is so pointless and cruel. Literally nothing will come of this but grief and loss and pain and more violence, and all for literally no goddamned reason.

And still people in power do not act.

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.

In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.

So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].

The US has just committed a war crime.

this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

We bombed an elementary school in a fucking seaside town with an entire fucking mountain range between it and Tehran. 24 little girls are dead. This is not a war for them. It’s not a war for liberation. Don’t let anyone fool you that this war is justified.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

In which I talk about *many* of the horror games released for the Nintendo Wii, and how its motion controls are used to enhance (or diminish) the sense of terror.

You should watch this video because it's the good:tm: evergreen horror games coverage we all love, and less importantly one of my favourite thumbnail jobs in a while 😌

CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good
