Yes, I know I didn’t address nuance of economy and labor market in the curtness of my reply. But that is often poorly communicated or not at all, so we just see another private entity getting our money gratis or with very low interest.

Add onto that the de facto American policy that private citizens are on their own, circumstances be damned, while the capitalist interests get rescued every time their greed and other missteps hurt their ability to compete in the sacred free market and maybe you can see why people are less than charitable with how they perceive these events.

for some reason

Perhaps seeing your government continually use your tax money to bail out industry that has no tangible benefit to anything but the stock market while fighting against every penny directly invested into the taxed populace colors peoples’ perception a bit.

Hey, I’ve seen this one before!

Aww, don’t be ashamed. I meant nothing bad by it. It’s a beauty of the fediverse.

Holy necro-post Squeezer Man!

Knights Within

Solo indie dev mashup of Risk of Rain, Helldivers, Vermintide, etc with its own soul and style of knights with guns. Dev is very active in the discord and takes feedback and actively plays with the small community the game has garnered.

I played the demo on a whim during a next fest expecting a janky joke of a game to laugh at but a decent and fun game caught me by surprise. It’s been improved and updated quite a bit since then.
