Even if you're not in a position to donate, you can still enter to win a free game, or spread the word among your social circle so that others might donate. Having had a touch of the darkness myself occasionally this is something I can really get behind. click for the thread!

Retro Gaming July 2025 (4 Comments) (link)  Wednesday, 2-July-2025  20:21:47 (GMT +10) - by MUTMAN This month's "Retro Let's Play" for July is Riven from 1997 Riven, the sequel to Myst. The often overlooked (by traditional gamers) and a much better game, Riven is a point and click adventure game played from a first person perspective. It has a rich story and builds an amazing and stunning world and is full of interesting puzzles and characters. Riven feels more like a place than a game at times due to it's stunning (even by today's standards) graphics and atmospheric soundscape. 2024 saw a triumphant return of this amazing game (it's about time as Myst has been re-released many many times) with a new remake built from the ground up in UE5 with a PCVR release as well which is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. click for the thread!
