This is what it's like listening to my mom tell a story 💀

Not a huge Trudeau fan, but I'd vote for him over SkiPPy every day of the week.
JT's main failings IMHO is that despite all the good he did (national pharmacare, dental care, and 10$ a day child care) did not get any media attention, and provinces run by conservative premiers tried to suppress the programs as much as possible.
He passed the buck on housing for too long, letting Conservative provinces stoke the flames and blame him - and nobody seems to realize housing and healthcare are largely provincial matters. There was plenty JT could have done to expose this, or remedy how federal housing funding is allocated.
He let our grocery monopoly dictate price with no consequences for Greed based inflation.
Completely sold out workers with a "flood the streets" immigration policy. These new people receive significantly more government assistance than "real Canadians" which rightly pissed everyone off. - FWIW, the Conservatives will absolutely bring even more in, but Fuck Trudeau amirite
Homelessness is at all time highs and so are shelter costs, meaning eating in a shelter you rent/own basically makes you the 1% even though you can't afford anything.
He completely lied about election reform, one of the main mandates he had when originally elected.
The core of his failing is spending tons of money, but very little of it going to the people who need it while everyone became poorer due to inflation. He wasn't nearly as "left wing" where it counted as he thinks, and we basically got Neoliberalism with a rainbow flag on top.
(totally support LGBTQ, but not wanting to do gay/trans people harm while actively selling out Canada to corporate interests isn't "left" at all.)
Instead, we're going to vote in SkiPPy, who is a capitalist laptog - to save us from crushing capitalism. Because as a nation we have strong voter apathy and no civic comprehension.
Also a huge majority of Canadian media is owned by billionaires with right wing agendas, so they shat on JT consistently for 10 years and the public is listening to them mainly because life is objectively worse for the middle class since Covid inflation made housing and food unaffordable for future generations while wages were actively suppressed by JT himself.
The people who own homes and like their equity explosion still hate Trudeau, but also continue to want their home values to explode but are somehow pissed properties they do not own are also expensive.
And let's not forget crime. We have almost 0 laws in Canada unless you are homeless (protected from consequences for everything bad you do) - or you try to defend yourself/your property (literally the most evil thing you can do.)
Rapists and violent assault cases routinely are released, or don't get speedy trials and there are 0 consequences to their abhorrent crimes (lots of provincial issues here, but again, everyone loves to blame Trudeau)
Oh, and his gun ban is completely assanine and does nothing to stop the obvious illegal gunflow from the US that are used in nearly every crime with a gun. Complete tone def waste of money that makes him the easiest conservative target. Maybe 5% of Canadians think it's actually going to do anything.
Narrative driven, story rich games don't sell?
How many video game franchises are making the leap to tv/movies these days? Hint, it's the ones with narrative driven, story rich games.
Go ahead and make pay to win mobile games, I don't play them and they rake in millions so it makes perfect business sense.
But the idea that gamers don't pay for good narrative driven, story rich games is laughable.
I think the biggest problem with a lot of game franchises have is they only sell the game. So much money is being left on the table with the best efforts being a screengrab lazily printed on a cheap shirt that sells maybe one or two.
If I could get some official, quality, Umbrella/Shinra/Arasaka/Faro corporation mugs, phone covers, meme tier shirts etc I'd be all over it.
That's totally right!
Iirc the games had very similar mechanics and look to them, forgot the thread was about Capcom 😅
Drain the swamp one way or another.
The elites will probably vaccinate, but their followers never will - it will become the official purity test of MAGA
Never played Dino crisis but I LOVE me some parasite eve.
Nothing against Dino crisis, just never got to play it, and definitely would take the opportunity.
Super pumped for onimusha reboot, would love to see modernization of Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, And do something interesting with megaman - like Devil may cry meets megaman.
Same here! Loved the main 3, absolutely hyped to see It make a comeback looking the way it does so far
The real anarchy would be to make Canadians live anywhere BUT what's on the map
As above so below
Everyone should change their names on all their social medias to Luigi Mangione
People love crapping on the reality of resource economics.
Someone is going to provide the coal.
The real solution would be for Canada to be aggressive in its green energy programs (and start accessing resources other than lumber and oil).
Being a leader in green energy production (not just by having nuclear, hydro etc) but actually producing solar, wind, batteries, etc for export.
Using carbon based energy to create low carbon energy sources is the only way we're going to successfully transition away from fossil fuels.
The main problem is that we do 1% green and 99% carbon, and that number never really seems to change.
Our carbon tax is not improving public options to ditch fossil fuels, which should be the whole point of a carbon tax (reduced use by increasing price, and using the tax to create low carbon alternatives).
I doubt we'll ever be serious about a green transition anytime soon.
The people who show up probably hate him so he wussed out
Shame, would have been the perfect day for another attempt
