Stop Caring is, to be frank, one of the best websites covering video games right now. Artemis created something incredible and it - and she - deserves support. So you know what you gotta do, right?
Last week, my former housemate punched me multiple times in the eye, forcing me to break the lease for the beautiful apartment we shared and move in with a trusted friend
As I try to rebuild my life and find more permanent housing, I would greatly appreciate any support you could offer Stop Caring
