I joined Joja Mart 

unfathomable villainy

and marry his daughter, triple whammy

She should also become best friends with the wizard haha

You also want to befriend pierre, but only up to the point where you discover his secret stash, then you tell his wife.

No

I shop at Pierre's because I didn't know until this video that you can buy things at Joja

real

It is cheaper tp buy from Pierre.

It is cheaper tp buy from Pierre.

It never made sense to me that Pierre's is cheaper and closer.

She complains about needing buisness and how poor she is, UHM IDK MAYBE STAY OPEN AND ACTUALLY SIT YOUR ASS AT YOUR DESK?!?!

I have problems with Marnie and robin

just buy the animal catalogue

​@@yadaplayz1654 this was before 1.6 probably

Every time I go to her she walks OUT of the place she sells stuff and stands in her bedroom for hours😭

hes just that evil

Lines up with him trying to sell your produce to Gus for a ludicrous markup.

Its why Stardew is such a brilliant satire of capitalism. The giant conglomerate and the "small business" entrepreneur are both bad and motivated by greed, but just at different points on the ladder. Eric makes us think he is going for a "big business crushing the little guy" thing but at the end he makes the point that they are fundamentally the same.

@@joepops727 And the Player Character is not an "entrepreneur?" Investing in the community often for your own ends. Eventually having a life far grander than anyone else in the Community. I think you're looking at it kind of backwards. Jojomart actually being far less evil than the game tries to convince you of. Pierre does absolutely nonthing for the community, doesn't even provide a single person a job. Meanwhile Jojomart will organize the construction of community projects, hires what would be the unemployed in Stardew Valley. It's kind of the Steambot Chronicles effect which has a similar Anti Capitalist narrative in it but because people don't undertand how liberal economics work, actually fail to see the game actually doing the opposite. It actually shows the importance of Private Business. How opening up a community helps it grow. Steambot in particular has a quest line which you discover a commune in the mountains. They ask you to help build railroad to the outside world. After doing so the community changed dramatically, they had access to new technology, resource and wealth. Some in the community left ie the Commiservatives who wanted to keep their old communal ways. Which the game tried to make you sympathies but in actuality helped prove Capitalist criticism of Socialist being a CONSERVATIVE movement... it's why the earliest Socialist were Conservative Socialist as it's since been coined. Socialism was founded in opposition to the rise of private business, the middle class vs the old Nobility and old Commercial Guilds which dominate Feudal Society. Only reason Socialism isn't associated with Conservatism today is because Liberal Economics dominated the 19th/20th century. So to be s modern Conservative is to Support Class Liberal thought. It's why it's more accurate calling left wing Liberalism as Progressivism not Liberalism as it's most often opposed to Liberalism.

@@joepops727lmao i don’t think the game itself is a satire of capitalism. just a few elements

there was a whole south park episode about this and the whole concept is actually so interesting to me

Doing the Joja route now for the first time, and I agree with this sentiment. As it stands, you really could just root for Morris, as you know nothing about him...but I dont know many players who root for Pierre after getting to know him. There should be a few more consequences. Otherwise its just an easy money route if you dont want to do a bunch of collecting. Would be nice to give Morris a complicated personality, and see where that leads. Which, I dont hate. Did the Community Center twice, and didnt feel like restarting it for this playthrough. Its a good alternative route, and makes you ponder which is really better / who is really a better person.

Well put my foot in my mouth....I thought Morris was like Gunther....only out from behind a counter during cutscenes and unable to be interacted with...til I got to 10:12. Was searching through comments to see what people's thoughts were when I made that comment.

​@@schribbler1592 in the base game Morris is like Gunther

And you can only buy from the Joja store and the entire town shuts down when all the Joja cola beans have been stripped from the ground.

Omg 😂😂😂

I don’t wanna hear that anywhere 💀💀💀

Nice to hear that I’m not the only one that hated that 😭

I love this idea omg

Ive litterally never thought to do this. But im doin it now

How is having Krobus move in with you a dick move...?

@@dayandere2669I mean tbf it says “force” but like. There is no way to “force” Krobus to move in lmao. If anything it would be nice.

@localmenace3043 krobus talks about having to hide from society and loving his sewers and missing them, which is why I used the word "force", even if it's a bit dramatic In reality, most people never think or know to move him in with you, and it's just perfect for a run where you try things you never do

Good lord that sounds like pure torture

Dawg this literally happened to me cause i forgot about it😭😭

I just got into it and didn’t know you can Thanks

I remember there was some mods making joja more realistic like having cheaper prices like real big companies It does make the joja route easier but I like when things are more realistic and joja feels like an actual threat

@@Froggycolouring That’ll probably be “Lore-Friendly Jojamart Prices”.

I love that they coded him a little neurodivergent (a bunch of hobbies he has abandoned, awkward lines and a hard time making friends, hyperfixation) as well as giving him some lines verging on nice guy territory-but without making him a complete loser or a joke. He has flaws-real ones, big ones-but he has a lot of personal struggles and ultimately just wants to succeed and help people while he is doing it.

Considering how expensive their shit is, you probably still took a decent hit to your profit margins

Not Pierre

@@mooshyshoomyagreed, definitely not Pierre… there’s a reason why there’s an entire subreddit dedicated to hating him

@@thecrazyastrogirl Why? he doesnt do anything wrong. Lewis however is another story

@@xaviersmith5154i read that it’s because he’s a liar, a bad father, a bad husband, and engages in tax evasion & bribery

@@jessaXDto be fair we all do a *little* tax evasion- No? Just me? Huh ok

Now I lowkey wanna try it out lmao

I gotta stop reading the comments 😭🤣

This comment is so cursed

I scrolled too far 💀

Wtf 💀

I went through all my life without reading this comment. Thanks for ruining that.

It wouldn't be a deal with the devil if it wasn't tempting

😅

Plus, getting everything unlocked in the Joja route is actually possible by halfway through year one, if you really grind it out.

@@michaelhgravesjr9608wdym? It’s possible in the first spring

So literally Brock from Pokemon lol Using your frying pan as a drying pan

always gotta roll for that lucky ring. plus 1 luck is so broke

need Evil and Good to kiss

@@C3S4R3. They would but that would be a beard situation. Evil is a lesbian duck (and the light of my life), and Good is a gay robot.

That is only true in multiplayer i believe

literallyyy like i just cant do it

Ah, coffee. My favorite hobby! /j

@@jessicadragonare7993 Mine too! But then, I am from Seattle.

What if I want to wear a different hat??

If it’s not a good luck day and you don’t have any luck buffs you’ll have less than a 0.01 chance of getting it.

For a Joja run, she was actually taking it super easy. If she had wanted to get stupid about min maxing and garbage like that, she could have been done with all of her goals Fall 1, easy. Of course, that would have made it less fun to play and to watch, so... 🤷‍♂️

Hope you got the game and did the community center route where you can tell Pierre to punch morris in the face lol. This mod really puts him in a different light tho, it's refreshing

Same

You will like Morris more in 1.6 update

Lollll me rn

it's in the base game, just go into the social tab (it's a heart) in the pause menu and you can see how much friendship you have with everyone, and people you havent met will be marked as "???" to help with the introductions beginning quest
