which when the conservative government pretty much joint efforted pulling the government out of the housing market in the 80s, creates a scenario in which no person really wants to buy land and actually produce something given the likelihood of it *never* happening.

I kinda agree with you because you have other factors that aren't just zoning. Toronto has land that is actually capable of such, but you need city approval in regards from the government, and residents in a hearing in that region and if an objection occurs, a seven year tribunal could occur

The richest of the rich win with ridiculous zoning law as they basically win by rent spikes due to the inability to convert single units into multi units/buying up land before the municipality is forced to expand to remediate cost of living and forks up a huge budget for those who bought land

We should reform some "regulations" in regards to zoning as it is difficulty to build high density property in cities which creates an outwards sprawl of single family units suburbs which worsens things economically and environmentally. 1/2

whats more insane is that we have hd scans of the entire portrait illustrations yamada did provided by square enix in high quality! they just went this route because its the route they do by muscle memory with the previous remakes

first they don't thank the people who commit to manual labor for their upper class asses and now they need to find some stupid fucking reason to not thank the robot they gleefully jump up and down for to displace the poor.
im starting to think people made for manager roles are born assholes

It's weird given DMC5 was announced at E3 2018 in June, and Adi got the project when he announced it in November 2018. He somehow just missed every DMC fan having a collective spiritual orgasm the few months prior.

the comic book industry when asked to stop sabotaging itself answers with more self-sabotage

The 90's price point is also a weird one because publishers were pissed back then that retailers made profit (and ate into theirs) with video game rentals due to being the affordable option but now we don't have rentals so if publishers are losing money, it's entirely on their pricing decisions.

"Poulet frit Kentucky", stupidest shit ever lost a point to that back in grade school ages ago because it's the only translated fast food franchise name in Quebec.

It's also easy to have this mindset when your hobby isn't art but is instead closely related to tech. Artists have distributed tutorials, supplies, software, brush packs, references, networking, and labor numerous times in the same way users on GitHub share code, packages, software, feedback, etc.

Shoji Kawamori has advocated piracy to watch Macross when he found out about Harmony Gold. Artists try to distribute their labor for free or as cheaply as they can but you can only do so much when you're paid near minimum wage compared to a tech industry worker who can achieve 100k+ easily.

imagine if they will, a world where we respected the time of every human, a world in which you can freely walk your dog without worrying about appeasing an asshole with an MBA ruining journalistic efforts with milquetoast shit exploiting freelance labor and interns, an impossibility it seems

Rewarding "leverage" sounds almost Machiavellian, and the fact that our future should be determined by what you have over other people in comparison to what you are capable of is a fever dream only thought of by those of who determine what the status quo is.

We are currently facing the epidemic of the rich and powerful utilizing tech to propose that the intrinsic qualities of our being and what we actually value about each other is inherently a fault that must be corrected and we have to be scared into accepting what they propose. 3/?

Paul after being faked guilt-trip by an old guy, is fucking bewildered by a scrawny dude who can guess the songs of performances on a TV with the volume at 0. To the point where Paul's wife think he's crazy for being enamored by such a odd feat. 2/?

because if the left ever won their democratic candidate, things might actually change in america and the unfortunate reality is that a significant portion of democrats are just politically correct republicans.

ES:NW had really mediocre pacing that it takes way too long for combat to start feeling decent, fighting combos take way too long to unlock, the movement and feel of the LFO and the liftboards are way too slippery, etc, etc. It's definitely not bad but it wasn't your best buy.

If you want to know my opinion of New Wave so far, it's really eh. 2006 was a very sparse year for mecha titles but you had Lost Planet Extreme Conditions, Chromehounds, and Armored Core 4 which really knew what they wanted out of their games and focused well on those elements.

Giving students more meaningless work without any actual feedback or retrospective on their efforts with personal engagement is why the school system is seeing degradation in the literacy and problem solving skills of students. Having more teachers balances this but god forbid we fund education

artists are constantly poor and have no unions to protect them, how can defending them be seen as bourgeoisie. these people need to stop finding ways to justify their hatred of artists and/or as necessary sacrifices for their deluded future spawned from inhaling the farts of tech corporations.

Blessed be the days when the studio had a website with a media tab with all the trailers, behind the scenes, wallpapers, and the publisher putting all of the different trailers in the Downloadable Content section of the game in the 360 Store.

290 HKD is like 40 american, and the minimum wage in Hong Kong is like 40 HKD along with the fact that they have no sales tax.

Bungie fortunately knows how to make a good gameplay loop, the unfortunate issue with Bungie is how much they fuck up your ability to just enjoy such gameplay loop. Unless Marathon has you melee for 200 hours before using a gun, Bungie might actually do something right for once.

You'd find it hard to find a franchise that brings up the radical grievances of a combat veteran who feels betrayed by the Japanese Government and their bureaucracy while having episodes such as a guy falling asleep thinking he's in America in Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds.

Patlabor is a franchise that I think Izubuchi was absolutely right about that it's great because you *can* do whatever you want with it. We got Military Coups, Cancer Monster Attacks, SV Division 2 taking giant alligator eggs and selling them as pearls, Ice Statue Parade, Ultraman, Wizardry.

I think the current structure of how society operates on a near isolated level has fostered an environment in which a significant number of individuals can reliably continue everyday life without ever having to involve themselves with the horrors of those in power until the hand lifts their rock.

its a shame, i really enjoyed what Urobuchi and Takahashi were relatively doing with the show but yeah, I genuinely imagine the season 2 ending has to do with the fact that they knew ahead of time the Red Originals was being canned and YouTube was going to hold the IP for who knows how long.

LoL players aren't going to play this game like how they never played any other project by RG. Riot Games somehow does not understand the point of expanding your horizons is to grab audiences you don't have yet by actually appealing to their nuances. Items won't bring FG players to a small roster.

fun fact, this is the first experience that Westerners would get of Koji Suzuki's Ring and it's based on the third novel in the series. This came out in 2000, while the US film was 2002 and the first Novel and film getting their localization efforts in 2003. Dreamcast was insane.

I've always been on the caution side of wanting Sentient A.I because I've never liked the idea of 'look we have a slave class but they're metal so its okay' but had doubts about that until I got older and found out that most people in C.S actually think it'd be cool to have that scenario.

Marshall Vandruff, an old artist I respect (uploaded an updated free version of his old 90s lectures on Bridgman because of how many camrips of it there were) made a statement about how their is so much art that he feels he hasnt even started. Made me think about how huge old libraries of media are.

Believe that was Mech Builder, which yes, had AI assets and still does due to community submissions.
Do not believe however that is the game provided in Luke's screenshot given they look different.

cant believe this image made me realize B.C has a cheaper fucking combined sales tax than Ontario.
I miss the days of when Steam didn't charge digital sales tax.
