I loved how the shopkeeper in Link's Awakening would kill you if you stole anything from his shop. Also every NPC starts calling you THIEF.

[–] Carvex 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I completely forgot about that! My whole play through on my Pocket they called me that, I was devastated

Yeah I thought it was really interesting how the gameplay penalty is tiny but the psychological penalty is harsh. Really encouraged me to never do it again on subsequent playthroughs.

At least a couple screens down is the crane game that can be cheesed pretty easily. Not as easy in the remake, but not too hard.

[–] Cruxifux 10 points 1 year ago

That bitch would TRY to kill you anyway.

So, question: can you name yourself THIEF?

[–] son_named_bort 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. That's what I would name myself so that the NPCs didn't change my name.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

🤔 What happens if you name yourself THIEF in other Zelda games? Nothing?

Wait... There are Oglaf comics without penii?

[–] BustlingChungus 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only this one, and the Labyrinth one.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

There's actually quite a lot.

Always a bit disappointing :(

[–] mrspaz 5 points 1 year ago

The labyrinth one is probably my favorite. It's tough to say a web comic has "timing," but the way the look on the labyrinth builder's face hits in the last panel is gold.

Yes they're actually labeled by NSFW ness in their archive page

I was wondering why this comment was marked NSFW, not having heard of this artist before now.

That is called “commerce”, which is totally different from “capitalism”.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

"Commerce" is only possible if both parties are willing to respect each other's natural right to have private property and each other's right to express consent (voluntary exchange). By trading these goods, there is a mutual benefit (social cooperation) that emerges from wanting to satisfy their own self interest.

I think this is pretty capitalist for my taste. (And please, it's not the same as corporatocracy).

[–] Ultraviolet 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Commerce only requires personal property, not private property. The distinction is important.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Commerce as you described it just sounds like ideal capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You made capitalism sound quite nice

[–] Klear 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a well-known fact that there was no commerce in feudal societies.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Regardless of the socio-economic system imposed, commerce always persists because natural rights are inherent to human beings. Even in socialist systems, grey and black markets are going to be there.

[–] Klear 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that was my point, but maybe it got lost in the snark.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I always appreciate random Oglaf posting, to remind me to go back and 'binge read' all that I've missed since the previous time.
