    I'm upset that Isabelle and Villager are considered bourgie by Marth

    they are clearly part of the proletariat

    Isabelle works in the mayor's office and villager is literally the mayor tho, those seem like pretty bourgie positions

    except there really isn't a hierarchal structure to the village

    nobody pays you taxes, you don't get paid for being mayor, it's just a job that you do for the community

    you literally use your own money, earned through extra labor (and eventually the turnip market) to build public buildings

    no workers are exploited except maybe Isabelle, and I don't think anyone is telling her to bust her ass

    I see Animal Crossing towns as communal societies, personally

    Aside from having absolute power over what is done to the town, the residents constantly giving you their possessions to curry your favor, and the ability to force out anyone you don't want to live there...

    you mean the same animals who give gifts to each other all the time

    also how the fuck do you actually get animals to move out

    was that a thing they added later on in New Leaf

    Durkon loses a level from that extra resurrection, so it's still not so great

    Only if Rich writes it that way.

    I could see him, say, writing in that clerics of Loki are able to cheat just a little by having specific spells work a little better for them, e.g. you don't need true rez to avoid level loss, just a normal rez.

    I hate saddest turtle comics, not because they're poorly made but because I always feel bad for saddest turtle and want them to be happy instead

    chasing someone around with a net until they decide they want to move out isn't dictatorial powers, though

    it's just being a fucking dick

    I think the thumbnail rule is the best. It made it so much easier for a person to scroll past a comic they hate and it cut down on arguments as a result.

    Irony is fake anyway.

    Apparently Day by Day got picked as a "Yahoo Picks" for comics back in 2003 and was described as
    Office politics with an edge are served up daily in Chris Muir's comic strip lampooning a fairly typical tech company. Starring world-weary engineer Sam, easygoing product designer Zed, intense marketing executive Jan, and conservative software coder Damon, the comic is a study in how the characters -- many of whom might be all too familiar -- rub each other the wrong way. The women (Sam and Jan) battle the sometimes-warped perceptions of the men (Zed and Damon). Conservative Damon takes potshots at the concerned liberals around him. And the youngsters (Jan and Damon) make the 40-year-olds (Sam and Zed) feel even older. There's a little something to annoy or amuse everyone, every day.

    Which is, uh, kinda different from what it is now.

    Yahoo is a search engine, why would you let a cold emotionless computer influence your webcomic decisions.
