Just after Christmas, on Dec. 27, a transgender teenage girl named Leelah Alcorn took her own life, after posting a heartbreaking suicide note.
She was just 17.
It's hard to contextualize the tragedy as anything but terrible and completely preventable. Leelah said in her note that she faced an unwelcoming family who couldn't deal with the fact that she was trans, who forced her to undergo "conversion therapy" and other abusive treatments, the primary reason for her suicide.
To honor Leelah and raise awareness for the conversion therapy — a controversial form of "therapy" that attempts to make LGBT children somehow not LGBT anymore — Matt Boucher and Kara Jayne decided to host a charity game jam in her name.

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

i wish them all the best with this.
sadly, it can't save her life, but if it saves one other young person from these "conversion therapies" then her life and tragic death won't have been in vain.
