Bastion: The Indie Boom, Supergiant Games, and Tech Solutionism

Today on Never Was A Gamer, we're kicking off our arc on the Indie Boom of 2008-2012 with Bastion, the very first game from Supergiant. We're both huge fans of Hades, so it was really fun to discover (and revisit) this old trendsetter.
