Transcript: Vimm's Lair has been asked to remove many games from The Vault on behalf of Nintendo, Sega, Lego, and the ESA. While most of these games (and the hardware to play them) haven't been sold in decades, ultimately it's their prerogative so these games are now gone for good.
This was posted on the home page of Vimm's Lair today (June 6th, 2024) a huge loss for game preservation
If you’ve tried to reach out to me in the last 7-8 years and I didn’t get back to you I’m medicated now and I’ll be reaching out to you shortly
Abdul Majeed, struggling to breatheAbdul Majeed al-Sabakhi, 20, lives on an oxygen respirator in the hospital.
Speaking is a struggle for the youth who has had cystic fibrosis since childhood.
In the first month of Israel’s war on Gaza, the Israeli army bombed the house next door to the al-Sabakhis’ home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The impact destroyed their home as well.
“That day, I was pulled out of under the rubble, nearly suffocated by the toxic smoke and dust,” he recalls.
Abdul Majeed spent about a month in intensive care on ventilators, further damaging his lungs to the point where he is now dependent on them.
“I lived almost normally before the war. I walked, moved around and attended university without obstacles,” Abdul Majeed says.
“But after the war … I became unable to do anything.”
Displaced with his parents, four brothers and two sisters to Rafah and then Deir el-Balah, he suffered in the tent and eventually had to be taken to hospital to stay on oxygen.
Abdul Majeed was supposed to travel, accompanied by his 21-year-old brother Osama, for urgent lung surgery, but then came news of the Rafah crossing being closed.
“Closing the crossing is a death sentence for me and many patients like me,” Abdul Majeed says, gasping for breath as the effort of speaking shakes his frail body.
“Every day I am delayed, my chance of survival decreases.
“I’ve lost so much weight because my weak lungs mean I can’t even eat.”
Osama stays with Abdul Majeed in the hospital, day and night.
“Before the war, we used to go out together, stay up late with friends, and have fun. Despite his illness, his condition was stable,” Osama says.
“Abdel Majeed’s not just my brother; he’s my companion and friend.”
A nice wake up call. This is a redraw of a redraw of a picture of Tom Selleck. It came out pretty good and also go check out the Harvey stickers I made!
