October 2025 - Palestinians in Gaza are returning to the ruins of their homes and starting the process of rebuilding after the immense and deliberate destruction of civillian homes and infrastructure by Israel (which, like most things Israel has done since it was founded, is a war crime).

Groups of Palestinians scavenged materials for rebuilding by dismantling the abandoned "aid sites" where American war-profiteers GHF and IDF distributed UN food aid, and killed more than 2000 desperate Palestinian aid seekers.

Since the poll that I posted has gained overwhelming support, I have put together a new (temporary) indie game hosting website in the past couple of days.

It's not a solution or an alternative to big gaming platforms, it's a simple bare-bones website to help out fellow developers for the time being. We have to remember that the main issue lies with payment processors and until it is resolved, there is not going to be a viable alternative.

About the website:

⭐You can create an account, join and create groups, download games and submit applications for me to upload your games!

⭐I am not able to process payments. This website is intended to host free demos and free games. You can request to link your socials, Patreon, Ko-fi or any game platform where your games are up. You can also request to link a platform where your full game is available if you upload a demo. You don't have to have been directly impacted by Itch and Steam's payment processor's new rules to apply for your game to be uploaded to our site. Similarly to Itch, you can also apply with anything besides games, like board games and such.

⭐️I am a team of one, working on this project out of my own very slim pockets. I will be processing upload applications as quickly as physically possible, but please keep this information in mind when applying.

⭐I will be constantly working and updating the website, but it will likely remain very rudimentary.

⭐While the website is available on mobile, it is not fully functional on it, so I recommend viewing it on desktop.

⭐Since this website is intended to exist temporarily, it highly likely will be deleted at some point in the future once the main issue gets resolved and there's no longer a need for its existence.

You can visit the website at starboxy.com.

Consider also supporting me and this website on Ko-fi.

In my previous post I brought up an idea of creating a website to host indie developers' games as Itch and Steam are currently removing and prohibiting people from uploading certain types of games, and in the future it might get worse, targeting not only NSFW games but also horror and LGBTQ+ games in general (which is already happening), likely spreading beyond those two platforms as the core issue is with payment processors.

I would be able to create a sort of rudimentary website to host people's (free) indie games/demos. The idea is to accept game upload applications, have pages up for those games, provide drive links to downloads (so that the game weight takes up drive space instead of the website's storage) and have donation links (patreon, ko-fi, paypal etc. - whatever the dev requests) up for every game, so people can tip their favourite gamedevs (and not have it count as a purchase of a NSFW product). It also seems that uploading a paid game/dlc/etc. on websites like Patreon or Ko-fi might work for now, as a subscription wouldn’t be directly linked to a purchase of a product, so it would be possible to add links to such platforms on the website as well. Obviously, there's a lot that goes into this kind of thing and the website would be rather simple in its functionalities, but I want people to have a space to have their games up, especially in the horror community.

I have to mention that the website would still have rules and regulations. I do not support fetishised depictions of incest, pedophilia and the like.

I deeply care about the indie game community. I don't know where I and @ghost-realms would be without it - and I don't even want to imagine. And I know that we are not the only ones. So I want to do everything in my power to help keep this community and space going.

If you would be interested in something like this, whether you are a developer or a gamer, please participate in the poll below!

This is just an interest poll. I do not promise that I will make a website, but if there’s enough interest and things don’t get better, I might.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs

Have a friend with that problem

Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

We hope that the celebrations this year will bear the slogan of a ceasefire in Gaza, a cease to genocide, and a halt to the killing of children. Yesterday I said goodbye to my cousin, and before that to my friends.
