New Humble Bundle featuring horror video games (and a new 3D-printable bundle)

noreply@blogger.com (John) — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:58:52 +0000

The "Indie Fears" bundle features 14 games for $13, Steam scores displayed.

There's a new 3D-print bundle featuring Lovercraft miniatures starting at $5 (I'm pretty sure I've posted some of the artist's work before).

And the Metroidvania bundle expires in a few hours, starts at $5 for two games.

Hunted by ICE, Haitians flee across the border to hide in Canada. Must read by @NickMiroff https://t.co/KaUTFRgwjv

("A friend gave her the number of a driver, who charged $700 for the one-way trip...Canada’s new rules left a loophole, however. Although migrants who are caught within 14 days of arrival can be sent back to the United States, those who can prove a longer presence in Canada—using receipts, a time-stamped photograph, or some other evidence—are allowed to remain. Canada does not send deportation flights to Haiti because it is too risky, so someone who crosses illegally and hides in a safehouse for two weeks can stay in the country and qualify for a work permit.")

This is a reaction I frankly should have expected.

This is similar to why so many builders make Luxury apartments and don’t even try to fill them with residents.

What’s easier?

We do not have evidence the actors succeeded in fielding an operational device; but they did test-fire a guided rocket. This field test appears to have failed: within hours, the actors returned to Claude to work out why it failed.")
