The US government created Hurricane Helene via geo-engineering and weather modification as part of their depopulation plan. That's why they aren't sending aid.

I realized that what really makes you a bad gamedev is not being terrible at programming, level design, or art, but rather having not played enough games in various genres to fully appreciate the medium.
