From personal experience: please don't file a chargeback, please just let me know you want your money back, there is a good chance that not only will I just give you your money back, but that I'll probably answer your email immediately in a way that makes you worry about my work-life balance

There's a ton of video games out now where you have a job, job simulator games are huge right now, but there are none where the entire game is *you quitting a job* Imagine a game where the entire game is you quitting jobs of various kinds as dramatically and messily as possible. Last day simulator
it is finally 1) not 100° 2) not pouring rain and my daily walks CAN RESUME
Phoenix Springs is getting a fun little update for its second birthday.
I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing

I am confident in one thing: the outpouring of support Stop Caring and myself have received in the last few days have made it clear the publiction will continue, hopefully for many more years. Worse comes to shove, we WILL make something work. Now's a great time to support: www.stopcar.ing
