We need an alternative to doesthedogdie cause they’ve started fucking paywalling warnings that include timestamps for triggering moments.
rbing again real quick--i and other(s?) have noted in other rbs that this is almost never done. it's for very few properties, and it's only for timestamped warnings that are done in-house, not by users.
there are still timestamps available for warnings on those same triggers for those same properties. just bc there's a paywall on something doesn't mean other comments and timestamps can't be posted or read for free on that property or that trigger.
see here:
i don't have an account and haven't paid for anything on the site, so all of those comments are what i'm seeing for free.
i had to search and search to find anything that had paywalls, and had to resort to looking at The Substance, as referenced here. i've been using the site regularly since the op posted and have never organically encountered a paywall on anything, including on very popular properties.
i don't see any reason to stop using the site--everything is still available for free. they just have added another way for some ppl to choose to pay some $ (in addition to ads), since this is a completely free service, and no website is free to maintain.
as an example, someone with the money could pay to see the timestamps, and then leave a free comment with the same timestamps for others if they wanted to.
I've seen this post on my dash a few times now and I want to boost this specific addition. I've emailed the owner of the site to get clarification on this, and I was told the motivation behind this. He wanted to start paying some people to memorize all 200+ triggers on the site, sit down and watch popular movies/shows to thoroughly analyze whenever any trigger pops up, and note down timestamps and details of them. Ads unfortunately do not cover this (they probably only cover the site's base upkeep), so the subscription service is specifically to pay these people. Community comments have never been paywalled and are still accessible.
He thanked me for my feedback when I expressed confusion and concern about the paywalled comments being mixed in with the free comments, and has since updated the site to make them clearly distinct, along with a preview of what the paid comments look like:
He was very transparent about it all and very kind. He also said this was his mistake and is trying to clear it up. Please continue to use DoesTheDogDie.com, it is an excellent resource and there is nothing else like it!
love it when characters do a sacrifice play ostensibly to save others but mostly so they don't have to face themselves

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.
At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

One of my biggest video game inspirations is a 10 minutes long freeware platformer from 2016. And it's a better piece of political art than everything self proclaimed "anti-capitalist leftist"s or whateverpunks have released up to this date
Liyla and the Shadows of War is a platformer choose your own adventure inspired game by Palestinian developer Rasheed Abueideh. You play as a Palestinian man at night as the city around you is being bombed, the platformer mechanic is jumping through the crumbling bombed infrastructure, and avoiding the bullets and missiles fired at you and other civilians. There's no music, only the sound of the night and everything fired at civilians. Your wife is hit and you have to leave her behind to run away with your daughter, not moving enough for any amount of time results in the deaths of both you and her. At the end of the game your daughter is injured and you are told the ambulance has the place for only one person. You prioritize your daughters health, the only choice given to you in the end, and they promise you they will take care of her, driving away in the ambulance- which is then bombed. That is the only ending.
When it released, Apple refused to list the game on the app store and refused to reverse the decision until severe public outcry
It is just more brave, political and inspirational to me than any cyberpunk game
the onion skin: you just listen to the intros of every friends at the table episode in chronological order
this idea has stuck with me for two years. here's sangfielle, the rest will come soon
next is marielda, hi samol. i'm honestly not sure what to do about the winter and spring intros, because i've been mostly sticking to the bespoke austin intros, and skipping the "previously on" ones, but winter and spring mostly have "previously on" intros
this one took forever to put together and export and upload. not only is twilight mirage really long, 58 out of the total 67 episodes have bespoke austin intros. there are only a handful in the back half that have a "previously on"
road to partizan and partizan are a much more manageable length
