Well ok, I guess it eventually got there, but at the time Flash was getting shut down there wasn't any equivalent self contained game engine IDE that compared, it was a big setback.

Now I'm imagining the government psyopping someone into thinking they were part of some revolutionary plot but it was actually all a controlled experiment to train an interrogation mind reading AI and they put many other people through an identical experience.

a huge swath of the animosity is being driven by historic and justified anger at the extraction class.

I just wish this anger was kept focused at the corporations and the way regular people are being treated as disposable resources to be shut off from the wealth/output of our society so the rich can have it all, rather than people with inherent worth that should be supported because we are people.
