*Fun Fact:* _Animal Crossing_ was based on the creator's (Katsuya Eguchi) experience of loneliness in Nintendo HQ when he's leaving his friends and family to a new town.
Hey man, I'm cool with Nooklas using me as a colonizer. No interest loans, a store that will buy literal garbage from me, and total control over an island's layout is far from a company store setup
Ikr it's pretty childish to complain about this. It's a situation far more generous than anything you'd get in real life because it would bankrupt an actual company lol
@@crapposter8201 no,its not okay to buy a phone made by forced labour of animals indentured to a racoon.Stop larping as a righteous peasant fighting against an landholder
The CD-I would've become a dominant media format and we would all be eagerly awaiting the CD-I 5 despite the fact that the console uses digital content and 4K Blu-rays.
That was a mechanic of earlier games. Never the core mechanic. Animal crossing has always been an expirement of the control aspects of god-games toned down and mixed with life sims. Throughout the series you've taken larger and larger roles in designing and interacting with the community around you. It's somewhere between The Sims, Neopets and a myriad of homage and influence from previous Nintendo titles.
I was literally thinking “man animal crossing in capitalism would make a really great video essay” and you go ahead and make this dammit you know me so well
Side from that the majority of socialists adore this due to there being zero interest on the debt and after its paid off you gain the land and building
man actually it really weird and mess up that someone want to bang something that look like a animal of some kind even if it an cartoon wouldn't a human want to bang something that look human or close to it but furries are different i guess each their own
Raffier Utomo I mean you are slaughtering hordes of Satan’s worshipers (much like how communists and anarchists view slaughtering capitalists and reactionaries)
Fun fact: Tom Nook is a good guy. Compare his business with other businesses around the world that do certain things. For example: Housing. He gives you a house for what would be considered to be $980.00, where, if you use a loan, there is no interest with that.
Jimmy: enjoys a colourful video game with cute animals Tyler: did you know you are being exploited by a soulless company that transforms you into an indentured servant and that you have no way of escaping from? (Tyler proceeds to draw parallel with real life and remindes everyone of the futility of toiling away each day)
Where’s the knowledge hub gaming channel? You obviously have some extensive knowledge and well founded opinions about the medium- the world would be a better place with more of your commentary on modern interactive media. Honestly, I love these videos so much- Tyler is an honest to god genius and his body is constantly on the verge of collapsing under the weight of his gigantic galaxy brain- he’s trying his best to relay all of his eldritch knowledge to us before the world explodes and we should be thanking him for his impeccable service- Thank you, Tyler
I think the isolation from living on an island has given some of the villagers an.. epiphany of sorts. Some of them even realize just how empty it all is by mentioning that they "played single-player hide-and-seek and won"... only to admit under their breath that they are really bored. Of course my favorite has to be what the Lazy villagers can say: "There's a weird rumor goin' around... Some folks? They're saying none of this is real. None of it. They say the island is just a game. And everything we say? Or do? It's just to amuse somebody else! And...I dunno. I kinda maybe believe it? SO many things would make sense, ya know? Have ya ever thought fruit grows way too fast? And ain't it weird that trees all have three kinds of wood? And have ya ever noticed there's pretty music everywhere? It's great, but it's weird... And does Tom Nook make ANY kind of sense to you?! "Yeah, I'll buy your seashells so you can give me back my own money to pay off a house I'm selling to you!" I mean... WHAT? It's all so obvious! Our lives are fake! We all shoulda saw it a loooong time ago! A long old time ago... (Around this point your character actually starts panicking and sweating.) A huh huh huh! I'm joking! It's a joke! Nobody said that! You oughta see the look on your face!" (Part way through the last sentence your character naturally acts confused & it just ends.)
I know this is a joke video but I will not STAND for this SLANDER. Tom Nook grew up poor, got backstabbed on a business deal, genuinely cares for his friends and the Nooklings, and only wants to help you pay off your house because he doesn't want anyone to go through what he went through in poverty. >No interests >No deadlines >You have the option to stop upgrading your house at any point after a new debt is paid off, therefore ending the debt mechanic early >There's also no incentive (except for the milestone) to pay off the final debt once you've fully upgraded your house >pays you money for garbage and trinkets that you can then use to pay off the debt you owe him - you could effectively pay off your debts with NOTHING but garbage >no negative effects whatsoever in-game for not paying off your debt If you absolutely need a capitalist to hate in Animal Crossing, Redd is the one you want.
Damn straight. Slanderous childish crap! Funny and obviously a meme but there are idiots that will actually have this attitude. When you start working and paying your own bills you realize Nook is a damn saint LMAO
Eh, Tom Nook provides zero-interest home loans for island property. He is evidence that the system _can_ work if the people running it aren't dispassionate pricks; that said, Animal Crossing is a product of said system so of _course_ it will show someone at the top allowing you to succeed. I can't tell which is more insidious: Tom Nook's methods or the game showing us that "the system works."
"Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from ipanema goes walking"- It checks, great song; very cool, thank you Tyler Edit: Just watched his previous video and figured out it turns into a different tune as it goes on; oh whale
Our Hero returns to us from his ordeal, back to the place he has started. He is a changed man, but in his travels he has brought us Knowledge that he has hard earned. He is no longer one of us, but he is essential for our wellbeing.
I don't think you represent Nook business Model correctly. 1. You start out in debt, but from Nooks reaction, its something you should have known beforehand. He gives you a very generous and fast way out of it as well. 2. You go into debt to buy a house, but you're not obligated to do so. Also, you get something for it. The house is yours. You don't have a payback plan as well and can keep from paying off your debt forever. 3. Bells are the national currency, and can get rich pretty fast on your island. Nook miles is a currency tied to the island, but not only do you get them for doing whatever, you can exchange them for bells ata pretty reasonable rate. Though the process is tedious. 4. Yes, Nook himself pays you pretty measly when you work for him, but you barely do and you're not really forced to do it in any way.
Reminds of the businessman Augustus Sinclair from Bioshock 2. His victims thought they were in a good piecework contract but they were overcharged for the materials they bought and earned only a small fraction of the selling price of what they made.
Oh noooo I'm in a zero interest loan with no payment schedule and no eviction and I got the house expansion I wanted immediately noooo Tom Nook how could you do this to me
I like the fact that he puts "Knowledge" in quotation marks coz he knows that his channel ain't about real knowledge anymore like alternate history hub is like alternate history. And I for one accept this change l.
The parallels are on point and all but....am I the only one who watches these animal crossing videos and realizes that I’m not progressing on my island as fast as other islands????
yes. i tried that game and its sick capitalism made me quit it after some hours. i was forced to be mayor and then i was forced to pay for a house while sleeping in a tent. the game starts with me being in debts without even having a chance. that was so annoying. i felt uncomfortable.
You catch sixteen butterflies, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the Tom Nook's store…
The currency in animal crossing is similar to the Yen. Check price tag, and convert its number in yen to USD. You get the actual price tag if you arent Japanese. Or if you're European, euro.
