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@lemmy.world 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

[–] GiantRobotTRex@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That bitch would TRY to kill you anyway.

So, question: can you name yourself THIEF?

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Wait... There are Oglaf comics without penii?

[–] BustlingChungus@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only this one, and the Labyrinth one.

There's actually quite a lot.

Always a bit disappointing :(

[–] mrspaz@lemmy.world 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”.

[–] MenKlash@kbin.social 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@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Commerce as you described it just sounds like ideal capitalism.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

You made capitalism sound quite nice

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] MenKlash@kbin.social -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@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 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.
