Sheet, well anyway, what do you think?

stop linking to kotaku without an archive link you fucking faggot

I see no issue with it. They need an injection of cash. They have been offering their game for free for over a decade because they care about the game and want other people to enjoy it. They could have sold out a long time ago, but decided to continue developing their pet project.

but piratefags told me devs make tons of money giving things away for free

this could've been avoided if drumpf made healthcare free

Why doesn't he just get a real job?

You do realize that Patrion counts as capital gains and is taxed at around 45%
So 5% goes to Pation then 45% after that goes to the government, leaving half that. And depending on your medical situation, that may not be enough if going out of pocket since the dude likes in Maryland and they're state health system is a shit show (known from personal experience).

>Still don't know what the goal of the game is
To make a functioning fortress for as long as you can. No other goal then that, you make your own goals. You want to wage war against the goblin hordes and raze their sites? Go ahead. You want to create a bunch of artifacts that will go down in history? That's cool. Want to make your fort the capital of your civilization? Awesome. Almost anything you can think of, you can do.

there were some changes during obama but the escense was still basically just a way to railroad people into a shopping mall of health insurance companies. its called a marketplace unironically.

Yeah, they are going to be a while. Villains update and working out bugs is another year of effort.

Norway. Salmon raising feeding office. Granted, pays so good you don't need to work any more anyway. A mcflipper or other low level job is more akin to 8 hours 5 day plans though.

All the merrier. Have fun, admiral.

It's extremely difficult for Americans to move abroad. The US government takes every measure they can to prevent it and once you escape the prison that is the USA they still tax you while abroad (something no other country does). You're forced to relinquish your citizenship if you want to stop being cucked by double taxation (which most Americans that move to Europe do because even low tier EU countries are better than the US).

That's not how that works, you fucking inbred hillbilly. It depends on how much you make. Also, patreon is taxed as ordinary income, according to a quick google search

Unironically how does medical bill coverage work in the USA?
Toady makes like 7k per month.
If he gets a health insurance, then he'd end up giving what $100-200 (?) per month for that.
Then suppose he gets hit by a car or whatever. His insurance should cover almost all of the medical bill, right? I don't see how he can't just get health insurance with his current income.

That's not yuros, that's merchants

>devs make 7k or so a month
>get up around 80-90k
>nearly in 6 digits range
>still cant afford a good health care for some reason

You are enlightened, user. Good to see people like you exist here. You give hope for the human race.

>Then suppose he gets hit by a car or whatever. His insurance should cover almost all of the medical bill, right?
Nope!
Unless you have really good corporate insurance, you are forced to pay a certain amount of money for your own healthcare before insurance comes in and pays the rest. Sometimes you can still be forced to pay thousands of dollars. And when it comes to recurring medications, you can count on paying micro-transactions for the rest of your life. Oh, and assuming his brother got this problem while uninsured, he can literally never get insurance money for it because it's a "preexisting condition."
Americans are FORCED to work for big companies. Small businesses are dead because you will go bankrupt for being a part of one. It's easily the worst first world country, though it's borderline second world at this point.

maybe get a real job if you need health insurance

You could probably make some sort of rape mod by giving dwarves penis and vagina bones with the wrestling system.

that's basically how it works. there are public plans you can get if you don't have a job with health insurance too. if you can't live on $7k a month then you're a failure of a human being

>pay a certain amount of money for your own healthcare before insurance comes in and pays the rest
That's what I was thinking. This amount comes down to like a couple hundred dollars in my country. It feels strange that you have a health insurance and would still end up paying thousands of dollars in certain circumstances.

yes if he is above the poverty line which he is but it also depends on the plan a lot and there are many of them. they have tiers like flight tickets the bronze/silver/gold etc. It tells you what you get a discount for at the doctor or any other specific services. i don't know much about cancer but assume you would look for one with that type of doctor. it will also exactly tell you how to use the big pool of money usually portioned for you per year like sudden emergency room visits or staying at the hospital.

Why would you want to keep your citizenship?

What the fuck? That's standard pretty much anywhere.

Has there been some recent change in the US healthcare system?
Because I don't remember 10 years ago seeing a single article about healthcare but these days the internet makes me feel like everyone is dying on the streets next to the hospital in the US. Seriously, I don't even care about burger politics and I see this healthcare shit daily

this is why we need obamacare

>be american
>breaks finger
>5000000000 in debt

Most Americans have family and friends that live in America and they would like to freely visit them. If you throw your citizenship in the trash, government services in the US will go out of its way to make your life worse while you visit. Not to mention that they will throw you in prison the second you land there if you don't pay your double taxation.

It probably doesn't help that the u.s government consistintly refuses to raise the minimum wage to keep up with inflation.

>what is regulation
the government wouldnt let itself be gouged like that you fucking ape

-o sir we don't say that word here.

It literally does you idiot. The whole student loan fiasco happens because the colleges realized they could price gouge the government and get away with it.

Or maybe, you know, deal with the inflation in the first place rather then do some second hand bandaid

>it costs too much in taxes to pay for this
>let’s just get the government to slap more regulations on
all
according
to
keikaku

In the US, since the government doesn't cover health costs, some people actually don't want health insurance.
The government says they get to keep their money, but if they have to go to the hospital they'll basically get robbed by healthcare providers because of how bloated the costs have become and how insurance providers have balanced it out.
What the US should've done, is cover health costs from the beginning, way before it got attached to people's livelyhood as a "benefit" instead of a necessity that the government should pay for.

Pretty much, the co-pay where I live is a few hundred bucks at most a year as well. The main problem is that the government isn't allowed to negotiate prices in the US unlike in most western nations.

Its already a miracle how great the economy is in the US considering its size. and I'm saying this as an european. the average american has a way higher living standard than the average european.
Obviously you will never compete with some rich small homogeneous white country where the average person speaks 2-3 foreign languages but thats not a fair comparison anyway to be honest

My copay is $2000. I don't even want to go near a doctor for a regular checkup because even something that simple will cost me like $500 out of pocket. God forbid they ask for bloodwork.

Fuck off, retard. Government regulation works in other nations because they aren't ludicrously corrupt.

>income is a form of natural selection

Consider yourself lucky - most white-collar jobs don't suffer a loss in productivity when workers only have to work four-six hours of the day. Human productivity declines sharply by the fourth hour, and yet managers claim "muh work loss" when the idea of a six hour workday is suggested

Most employers over here offer health insurance as part of your pay. I can only assume Tarn/Zach are unemployed, or in some state of self employment. Where they live, there may very well not be any insurance providers that offer good deals to people in that situation.

Why would anyone play that, beside for false feeling of elitism for mastering the horrible controls and graphics? To make things even worse the DF community is terrible and very unfriendly.

American government can't do regulation properly. Socialized healthcare only has merit if your government holds the entire healthcare insurance market hostage and imposes its will. "We want these meds, procedures and diseases covered at around this price, fail to comply and you're not allowed to offer your services within our borders." Americans can't do that. They don't want to hurt corporations. That's how they end up with half-assed healthcare that ends up costing more.

Your government should have punished colleges which increased tuition costs that fast.

You are probably right. He was self-employed and insurance companies have plans for self-employed, even before the shitty marketplace existed. With $7,000 a month he could have bought top tier insurance.
No one is going to insure some guy who already has cancer. That isn't insurance, that is just asking the insurance company to pay all your medical bills for you.

The meme where Californians and New Yorkers always believe they "subsidize redneck red states" relies on not calculating the disproportionate amount of Medicare/Medicaid money those two suck down from the pot. The entire nation's workforce contributes to that singular pot. California consumes nearly 50% more of that money than the next largest consuming state but is nowhere near the top contributor.

>No one is going to insure some guy who already has cancer
King Nigger outlawed that. Another reason healthcare is so expensive is anyone can now hop on plans at any time you know.

Attached: 1511266040995.gif (408x303, 708K)

Healthcare has been a major issue since the early 90s because of IP law changes that benefitted drug and medical equipment manufacturers, and what originally was a single drug or shot here and there going through the roof has gone up exponentially driving up the total cost of healthcare rediculously. This has also been exacerbated by companies consolidating and now more of the industry is handled by fewer companies, meaning the ones that want to charge ridiculous prices have more ability to do so.

It's not killing people as much as it is putting everyone into debt until they either pay or file for bankruptcy, I also wouldn't recommend looking up what is legal to do with medical debt.

>Insurance never bills you for 10 years for medical care
>They sell the debt you've never seen you a collection agency
>Suddenly you are hit with hundreds of thousands in costs you need to pay off immediately or they start repossessing your shit.
>They also have no legal obligation to show you the original bills, only the amounts the insurance sold to them to collect.

Really my dude, never get truly sick, in a lot of cases you'll be paying for it forever.

I guarantee you that OP is a newfag who has never played DF and just wanted to shitpost about it, I would say a good 60-70% of this thread have never even tried it

Of that 7k they make they probably end up paying 2-3k in taxes because self employment in the US is a bitch and if you don't produce a physical product to sell as a commodity you get almost no tax deductions or incentives.

Health insurance also costs twice as much when you are self employed because employers are required by law in most places to cover a portion of their employee enrolled medical costs.

Also that's not how deductibles work, each kind of medical service has a different deductible, 3k deductible would only be applicable to certain care, if you actually had to stay in a hospital it would be much higher.

You have no idea how insurance works in the US

Nothing, really. Beyond a certain point it stops mattering, however. Like if I ever had a million dollars, I'd just retire. I don't need any more than that.

It wouldn't be free, it would come out of your taxes meanwhile the insurance oligopoly (which needs to be broken up as much as a monopoly ought to be) would just become enshrined by the government. It would drastically reduce the quality of healthcare in this country and shrink the middle class significantly.

>Rent higher in places where people use more social services
>Implying this is the causation

Rent is higher in places where industry creates wealth, government services are the teat for those who live in those places that don't have that type of employment. Depending on the industry it could be orders of magnitude difference, like Silicon Valley, where every landlord wants to get thousands out of people because they know they make that amount.

This is quite plainly clear in Seattle where even now that the supply/demand side of housing has levelled, prices still haven't gone down because if tech Bros won't buy, Chinese business tycoons will, because the housing market has become investment driven instead of housing driven, and landlords only give a shit about maximizing what they get out of the market.

Government services come into effect because instead of keeping these forces in check and preserving the best interests of their people, the people in power want to make their cut and they pinch pennies to keep the markets blown up by unfettered industry growth stable enough for low income people to afford shit on government assistance.

Hell look at fucking New York, everyone was rubbing their hands together gleefully awaiting their Amazon payday at the expense of the millions who live and work there and their fucking tax payer money who would never see employment from Amazon got their shit pushed in by people who have seen this all before.

When wealth is generated and then concentrated, it is always done at the expense of the people surrounding them that have no choice or no skin in the game, do this enough and the people affected have little recourse but become burdens of the state that makes money off of things that don't involve them but nevertheless needs them to sustain the systems that benefit those making the money.

Welfare is inevitable in unregulated free market capitalism, it can only be beat back by having a more level playing field.

Well don't you want him to fucking, you know... make games? If he does sure, but no more Dwarf Fortress.

You're an idiot. This isn't Chris Chan or Brianna Wu trash.

Doesn't help when every fucking neighboring state buys bus passes for homeless people instead of taking care of them so they all crash land in the only states willing to do fuck all. Homelessness isn't a situation that can be solved state by state specifically because the burden of one can be offset by sending them to be a burden on another.

States having strong independence isn't a bad thing, but there are problems that can only be inherently solved from a national perspective. There's a lot of shit that the federal government would still have to take care of, but a lot of our governments time is wasted on things that should be handled at a state level but can't because state level politics is even more corrupt than national politics. Especially in rural areas where they are essentially left to rot by their states so they can make money in other parts, or spend their time lobbying the government for subsidies or tax benefits to enrich state coffers.

Why do Americans love defending their shitty healthcare so much?

this board is nothing but 14 year old ben shapiro fans, it's been that way for a while now.

Because the majority of people already don't have much money and don't want higher taxes to take more of what little they have.

Also, the govt. is insanely inefficient and I'm unsure why giving it more money would fix anything -- especially with regards to healthcare.

Not only am I positive you are reading this wrong because you're retarded, this doesn't rebuke the fact that Canada's socialized healthcare system has been regarded as a joke for decades even by lefties and anything serious gets shipped over the border.

yeah cause private healthcare and shit like meds and insulin prices being controlled by greedy rich people is so much better right

How have you managed to read that so wrong?

well to sumerize what other people said, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you

Because the only solution ever proposed involves increasing government control. Any more government control than we have now would just be 100% government controlled at this point, they already basically control everything about it. The more government that has been added every time to the healthcare equation the worse it has gotten. Obamacare accelerated healthcare cost increase even though Barry and Co promised it would decrease it.

Because it actually is a extremely complex issue which has been the result of decades of issues and half solutions. You have to deal with patent laws, oligopolies, general health and crime issues, and a myriad other concerns which is almost impossible given the division and pace of the government. I don't think many think American healthcare is the best, or at least not one that doesn't leave many behind.

I'd much rather pay taxes for health care than pay by usage. I'd rather have already worked those paid taxes into my budget and pay nothing when I get into am accident instead of paying thousands of dollars if I need medical attention.

The hubris of you, of course, is that you also want everyone else who doesn't agree with that to be forced to do so or be killed.

My question is why lefties go to the hospital so much. What is it about them that requires so much hospitalization? They always act like they go 7 or 8 times a year and it's a common occurrence to them. I haven't gone to the hospital in 26 years. Sounds like the people who need to go every month should evaluate their lifestyle because it likely involves risky behavior, substance abuse, and mental illness that they should own up to and stop making everyone else pay for.

The only way to get free, government run healthcare in this country is to sign your soul to the devil and join the American military and kill brown people for oil.

America is the largest oil and gas producer on the face of the Earth now, your talking point from the Bush Era needs to be updated.

Why doesn't he get real healthcare?

I've been to the hospital like three times in my life at 25, but that would be enough to put me into debt for years to come.

Also, why do you assume that I'm a leftist? I'd rather pay taxes to not get charged per use of medical attention instead of paying insurance and then still likely have to pay out the ass for medical attention, anyway.

This posturing against Veneuzuela is all about its oil. America is still pissed Chavo nationalized it. Same with Libya, and Iraq. Once these 'allies' nationalize their oil they become 'dictators'.

Holy shit 7k a month is suicide worthy?

I make 2k a month and I'm debt-free, what the fuck are people spending so much money on? I don't have insurance though so I guess I'm fucked once I'm sick or need dental work

The government's prohibition on selling plans that don't cover what they "believe" is necessary is the roadblock. If I want to buy a plan that covers injuries sustained from accidents I cannot because the government says ALL health plans have to cover mental illness, substance abuse counseling, female reproductive health (even if you're a male) and a hundred other categories I would never use.

Ah yes, it's all America's fault, Maduro dindu nuffin

if you use insurance there's absolutely no way to receive healthcare privately. you have to be put in a state mandated database and that data is farmed and used for research purposes and who knows what else in the future. insurers also use that information to deny coverage or charge you more money for healthcare. plus the state fines you if you don't participate in this system. it's all bullshit

The government is the biggest fucking entity with the biggest bargaining power there is.

there is not a nation under the sun that was not founded on Slaves, the native american tribes had slaves.

can you go into more detail

You mean rich expats from venezuela you talked to?

Even today there are more slaves than there were in the days of the slave trade. Unsurprisingly the Arabs are the biggest perpetrators, which is not unexpected given that they through history enslaved more whites, blacks, and pretty much everyone they came across and dwarfed the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Not him but I have looked pretty deeply into Norwegian immigration because I love the country so much. They have very strict immigration laws and require, at minimum, a college degree and an offer of employment if you want that tasty work visa. You can be accepted by 'foster' families who will house you and pay you to do chores but I don't think you make progress towards full citizenship that way. Also you really wanna learn Norwegian so you don't fit the typical American shitbag immigrant stereotype. Knowing it before you try to come is a massive A+ advantage.

You guys should do the math. If the taxes cost me more than: ($50 a month X 12 (Total monthly fees = $600) ) + my deductible($2,500): TOTAL= $3100. That means I'm getting a bad deal. Considering how much free medical care would cost for everyone, I'd end up paying more than I do now. You guys are retards. $3100 is not a lot for a years worth of unlimited medical coverage.

We already could, at least on a basic level, if the basics and value of them weren't being artifically pumped up. We have literal food mountains. Regulations that dictate 'shape' of fruit that can be sold. Supermarkets are barred from giving dumpsters of uneaten baked goods and food past it's sell-by (not eat by, sell by, an important distinction) date. Housing and basic ulities IS already basically given, and paid for, by the state for the vast majority of low-income families. Entertaintment like vidya is so cheap now it might as well be free.

Scarcity isn't really the issue in the western world. I'm not even really sure what the root cause of the above issues is. I mean, fuck, you could all but erase homelessness overnight by turning some state-owned buildings into japanese-style capsule hotels, hiring a few security guards and a manager or two, and allow them to be used free by those without an address. I know it's more complicated than that, and there would those who wouldn't and those that would abuse such a thing, but it's an example of something cheap that could be done to ease an issue.

Someone, somewhere, or a group of people, are happy with the status quo. We've been able to solve, or move towards solving, our societal issues for decades now.

Every one of these people are paid six figures and it all would've bankrupted me ten times over if I wasn't insured. Shit, if my insurance wasn't as good as it is, I still probably would've paid out the nose.

Who? Why?

If it doesn't come before we get even half-scale automation, then the western world will turn into Judge Dredd style Mega-Cities or cyberpunk dystopias. You'll have the rich who 'own' the automated processes, the few who either work for them or were lucky enough to get the remaining jobs, and everyone else will live in literal slums surrounding tiny mini-cities containing the elite.

If you don't institute a way for the poor and destitute to look after themselves and their families, while taking away any chance they had to better their situation even with all the will in the world to do so, you are asking for the unwashed hoardes to drag you out of your ivory tower. And if they can't, because armies of personal killbots or some shit, they will at least surround you and build a society out of your trash and waste like in every good dystopia.

So, it might be a good idea for them to just put a basic income in place before it gets to that point. Unless you want every city in the western world to look like ghettos that have been cut off from all public services and supplies for six months?

What's with people incorrectly using this term lately?

Sue them? I mean, they should expect you to and have insurance against it, given the scale of that fuck up.

Except you can simply delay the bulk of the medical treatment until after you have some savings from a job that doesn't require those limbs. Just live a bit frugally for a while.

Americans are simultaneously disdainful and addicted to money

2k a month would literally be a death sentence in NY

Funny that entire area is most well known for spawning bloodthirsty raping marauders

if your own business makes no money then you have no job.

>at this point

You're more likely to die in a car accident or in your shower than you are to a mass shooting FYI.

does that excuse work on the IRS?

>10 years
statute of limitations, dumbass

you also don't seem to know what a repo is. a repo happens when the real owner of an item (e.g. a bank) takes it back because someone wasn't making their loan payments (the car is not legally yours until you pay it off). you never did something crazy like sign over your property as collateral for insurance, right? i don't think they would even do that. so the insurance company owns nothing of yours and can't "repossess" anything. you're a fucking idiot for falling for this shit.

one click in theroy?

Fuck, if this is true you yanks are seriously fucked. Call us commies all you want, but at least Australia's Medicare doesn't fuck us over with some pretty shady, morally reprehensible shit. You guys are flat-out amazing.

it's like lightning. It happens all the time but it's (probably) never going to strike you personally.

I’m sorry, make that 20+ years

nice bait pasta

It's neither, it's chingchings

I did not know it was even possible to be this new.

PragerU has destroyed America

Libertarians are just as retarded as communists. Both have volumes of historical data showing their ideology is full fucking retard but they still go on.

7k a month is more than enough for insurance and to pay the entire deductable if he was seriously sick.

I don't know where this myth of the inefficient government came from. You owe almost all technology in your life to government. Space Programs in various coutnries on the planet were the creators of 99% of the tech we use in our everyday life. Private companies don't invest shit. They take what government creates and iterate on it; they don't create. So I laugh when people say the government is inefficient. Yeah, maybe in some corrupt African warlord country but first world governments are absolutely not inefficient. It's just the people who say shit like are retards who have no sense of scale and have no idea what the actual costs are.

>What this country was founded on
Completely non-argumentative
We're 250 years past the "founding" stage.
Social understandings and society have changed more between 1948 and now than from 1947 back.

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE

yeah small government america was so terrible

>quits job at an American university as faculty which pretty much gives you free healthcare for life even if you "retire" and the complains about so expensive healthcare
I mean, he has only himself to blame. I told him when he quit A&M that it would bite him in the ass, I told him.

Uh, yeah? Read a fucking history book you retard.

move to a normal place like a normal US citizen?
idiot

but what is the true path, sensei?

The fuck would they? the end goal was creating a dependant class of morons and lowering wages in higher skills. Which, they sold as, "rich people went to college, so going to college makes you rich!"

We have a state that's landmass is equal too about half of the eurotrash countires

Except humans shoot guns, lightning just happens.

w-whoa, that changes everything!

almost any real job offers health benefits.

>Greedy
Game is still available for free, steam release is to appeal to the retard/normie audience because downloading a tileset is rocket science apparently.

>I would rather the archive link, I have moral objections to adblock.
Do you have moral objections to avoiding getting ransomware on your PC as well? Cuz that's what's gonna happen to you if you don't wear an internet condom.

He likely wants to get the next big update out before releasing it

Well, there's a reason the "everything" download/app calls itself the "Lazy Newb Pack."

Just don't get sick lmao

ransom ware isn’t that hard to get rid of

What I want is mouse support.

>pacman -S dwarffortress
>not having socialized medicine in your country

It's better not to get infected in the first place.

Hey you're still a faggot

i solved the health care issue by not making any money anymore

This is one of the few threads on Yea Forums I've genuinely enjoyed since Chrisposting

Based and bootlickerpilled

>Private companies don't invest shit.
Amen
Remember that time we gave the telecommunication companies like 400 Billion for fiber optic infrastructure 5 years ago and they pocketed it all and have done nothing in that time?
Or how Chattanooga, Tennesse had a municipal government internet service cheaper than all the ISPs and literally 100 times faster so the ISPs sued the city and got it stalled? I could never understand being a corpo shill on this website

the game is fun by the way

Guy is getting at least 7k dollars per month in donations, which sums up to at least 84k a year. It should be enough to support two people.
Other thing. This is what happens when you do not care about your fitness...

marxists are the ones supporting subsidizing

He sold his soul to Valve to save his soul. Interesting.........

Yes but does he get paid for his game?

Yeah ok. My human right to not pay for your shit trumps whatever bullshit you come up with.

>bitching about "only" 7000/ month

Holy fuck fuck this jew that's more than enough for healthcare

It's a bipartisan thing.
Let the big boys talk, okay?

Yeah. Both sides are neoliberal retards. Not sure why he said marxists but you can fuck off for trying to sound smart.

See:

inflation is a good thing if it's kept within a reasonable/predictable level

Extremism is a symptom of a cause that's generally ignored and not fixed. Getting rid of the image boards wouldn't fix a god damn thing.

It's like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. Amazing. What exactly did you achieve? Literally nothing you daft cunt.

That’s not even the capital gains rate you dumbshit, short term OR long term. Not that either rate even applies here in any way.

Will the normal version without graphics still be updated?

Not that I don't want to buy it, in fact I've donated to these guys several times, but I'm a little scared of them just going all out on the Steam version and forgetting the original.

>Will the normal version without graphics still be updated?
Toady has stated that yes, it will be updated.
If anything, he'll need all those patreonbux after everybody on steam who wanted it has bought it.

Seems pretty based.

It isn't really that much money anyway for it, considering it's A) polished B) going to still be maintained for a long time.


You can't say that about most games nowadays, dropping support as soon as it launches, or kikestarter scams were you get a beta release tier 'launch 1.0' and then they disappear with the money.
