that’s just simply not true. if you look at the project lifecycle for a game very little resources are spent in preproduction, the bulk of the time is in production. preproduction usually has all of the core mechanics and ideas implemented by the end, then it’s just about executing on that plan. there’s not a lot of experimentation and iteration once you are in full tilt production mode
much of a game’s development time is spent creating assets, using a new engine doesn’t mean your existing low fidelity assets suddenly look better, just better lit
we just need to use natural gas as a bridge fuel trust me, let’s just build pipelines and special refineries and special cargo ships that can handle these new fossil fuel supply chains. just a bridge fuel though just until solar catches up don’t worry they’re just multi decade leases of course we’re going to hit net zero trust me just use gas it’s clean burning trust me just ship the gas across the world it’s the greenest choice there is just trust me
What important living beings go in the back anyway? It’s usually just babies, pets, and children.
His capacity for retaining and spewing shit has been exponentially growing as well. Coincidence?
Fair enough, I felt it important to clarify (and check) so these developers and Team 17 aren’t unfairly punished by the general state of the industry.
It doesn’t seem like you need to worry here.
No problem, I’m starting to think about what I’ll do next election so it’s a good push to start looking into changes since 2019 myself. A lot has happened to say the least.
CBC usually puts out a political compass quiz that’s a way to see where you land compared to parties on policy points. I’m looking forward to it.
Partly media coverage and partly that these things come in waves around election time. Coverage from the 2019 election goes into some of their policies:

I can’t find sources verifying the claim but I remember that contemporary to the election the PBO assessed the NDP budget as being the closest to balanced between the major parties (based in part on that wealth tax).
The capital gains exclusion amount right now is 50% (which means that $1000 in capital gains is taxed like $500 in income) and the NDP platform would have taken that to 25% meaning it would be treated like $750 in income. You might be asking why working for your money means it’s taxed higher than investing for your money but that’s a bigger conversation.
As for UBI, it hasn’t been a part of their official platform in previous elections that I recall, but NDP members have expressed support and laid out plans for it and it’s far more likely to be tried and executed under NDP governments than Conservative and Liberal, though Liberals have run trials at the provincial level (though sabotaged by the cons as soon as they took power of course).
Next year will present an opportunity for a new platform but I expect many of these things to remain on it. I encourage you to look into all of the party platforms at that time. I occasionally check in on them off season as well, for example to find out what Conservatives are proposing for after they “axe the tax” (spoiler: nothing), but haven’t looked at the NDP recently.
It’s a coop game and what they’re describing sounds more like “progression” than microtransactions. Unlocking new things is a core gameplay mechanic going back to before the Internet. Did I miss where it implies anything about microtransactions or pay to win (again: coop game)
wealth tax, decreasing the capital gains exclusion rate to bring capital income closer to being taxed like normal income, windfall taxes on profiteering, increased social services (expanded medical care including eye care, dental, and mental), support for UBI
The dental care plan is a (libwashed) NDP policy
they’re so quirky let’s normalize their rhetoric, those weirdos are so silly. you wouldn’t wanna be seen as lame by voting for them.
I’m so glad Democrats pulled out all the stops
haha they’re so WEIRD said the liberal on the way to the concentration camp
hey fucking idiot: in war you usually don’t kill people statistically randomly.
stop crying in every thread about this topic and get your own party in line
Just recently Israel said they will not allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza. That’s ethnic cleansing at best. Biden is still in charge.
Are we expecting perfect? Is stopping a genocide perfect? It’s the bare fucking minimum you clowns. Stop giving Netenyahu a blank cheque
what’s a little genocide for a seasoned leftist? cultures come and go. it’s just genocide.
I think you need to reread the thread, where did the blame begin? I’m getting tired of the high road.
fuck I’m extremely far into my career I wish I got this tip sooner
how has slow progress worked for you in the last hundred years
