Lots of video game excitement abound, but if I may, Dolls Nest just came out on Steam and needs to be on the shortlist of anyone who's an Armored Core fan! Would hate to see this one fall between the cracks

almost 100 Palestinians murdered since the ceasefire was announced, and with Israel pushing back the vote, the number will only climb.

while today is rightfully filled with celebration, just keep in mind going forward that Israel is closer than ever to their goal of extinguishing the Palestinian people and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. They see this ceasefire as a setback, not a step forward.
