Coverage for Gaza has died down recently, so I wanted to remind folks that lots of people are still struggling. The Gaza Soup Kitchen opened its 14th location recently, and they are accepting donations. If you have some money to spare, please consider sending some spare funds their way.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

One other Earth Must Die thing from the archives - because I love seeing other people's WIP stuff, and I think it's good to expose what a mess games are for the longest time:

Here's what EMD looked like when @mikerose.bsky.social agreed to give me money, and how it looks now.

Never give up.
