No ICE in Minnesota by jesthehuman and 651 others

No ICE in Minnesota: 1439 items for $10.00

We created this bundle to raise funds for Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota in response to the Trump administration sending ICE agents to the Minneapolis area and the reckless murder of an innocent people by ICE agents. ILCM provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in Minnesota and North Dakota. They also work to educate the community about immigration matters and advocates for public policies which respect the universal human rights of immigrants. ILCM provides services based on capacity and has a generally high demand for services. The more we are able to fundraise, the more people they will be able to assist.

There are a few interesting titles, though also surprisingly many TTRPGs.

Heck yeah!

Death Stranding 2 now has a storepage on Steam. Where they want you to pre-order. But there are no min/req system specs listed yet. While I'm pretty sure I could at least get the game to run "kinda ok", I need some system specs. I mean come on, launch is less than a month (March 19), why the delay. Oh right, to not scare away get more people to pre-order.

It's also been long enough that I'm now less motivated anyway - still interested, just maybe I'll wait for a sale. I bought DS1 full price twice last time (PS4, PC), so I don't feel bad waiting for a small discount this time around. :P

Finally! Was waiting so long. Didn't want to buy a PS5 for literally a single game, since everything that interests me nowadays comes to PC anyways.

But 80€ ... I'm going to wait.

Yeah I will be waiting for a discount as well, especially that from the reviews I expect to enjoy the sequel less then the original. It’s also not an in-house port this time around so I will be waiting for specs and more importantly Digital Foundry’s port breakdown as well.

I don’t like the sound of that, but with how financially unviable Remedy seems to be some form of downfall is inevitable. Not that being a successful studio saves anyone from being shut down these days I suppose. I hope Control: Resonant will be good. I really appreciate them as a studio, but I also feel they can be highly uneven in their output.
