The game is great and it even runs well on Steam Deck. Give the game a try if you haven't already! Joe is also a pretty cool dude if that matters to you as well

We’re not stealing your tax dollars. We aren’t lazy. We can’t “try harder” our way out of disability.
The Nazis started with disabled people for a reason. They knew no one would fight for us.
