Both the washing machine and the fridge seem to not be doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Not being sure if a fridge has to be expensively serviced or expensively replaced kinda sucks. Buying some of my games or making a donation via Ko-Fi would be a great boon right now.

This image is a meme using characters from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to express a strong opinion on labor strikes within the video game industry.
The first character asks if game developers should strike.
The second character responds that all exploited workers should strike.
The first asks if this is true even if it disrupts the industry.
The second emphasizes that it should happen especially if it causes disruption.
