I feel the final panel with my whole soul

Tom nook is not a landlord ffs, he gives you a house that you own, and the only reason to pay him back is to have him work on upgrades.

Honestly, Tom Nook is the model of responsible housing stewardship. House for free, bigger house available for a payment with no schedule, assessments, or interest.

If Nook ran housing in our world, there would be no homeless people.

Tom Nook is a fucking slaver. He entraps the player with financial debt and forces them to improve his property while providing "incentives" that he could have given at any time. 😝

He charges no interest and doesn't seem to have a payment deadline. You could honestly just leave at any point and never pay him.

Feels like you're scamming him rather than the other way around.

Also he's giving you most of the money you use to pay him in exchange for random goods you locate.

He's lucky he's not a hat

my support worker has a client who bought their home decades ago for like $20K. and now it's worth $1-2M. All* i want is an affordable housing market.

* - Not all, but close.

I mean nothin stopping you from going out and pickin fruit in the real world. I know the spots if you want to join.

laughs in US trespassing laws and destruction of local environments

I know not everybody can do this but where I live many houses have apple trees and a whole lot of them go unpicked, I just knock on the door and ask to pick and mostly get a yes.

My local elementary school has like 6 cherry trees that anyone can pick and blackberries are an invasive weed here and are literally everywhere.

There might be more available to you than you realize.

I've looked around. There is nothing in this farming town that has absolutely destroyed the local ecosystems to make miles of monoculture cropland.

Not to mention the community is a US Southern MAGA cesspool. You go knocking doors you're likely to get shot.

Unfortunately, places like mine are more common than places like yours in this fuck up of a country.

I believe it, sometimes I forget how good we have it in some ways in the PNW

Oh man. I love the PNW. Used to be a truck driver, did hot shot for a few years a decade ago, and fuck me I loved getting called to take a run in that direction.

Didn't matter if I was being called at 2 AM, if they said somewhere that was there or the New England area my ass was up and chipper because it meant I got to leave the shit hole that is the US South and got a nice, paid, road trip across the country.

I mean I've got two gallons of jam made from local wild blackberries in the freezer but you do you

Trespassing is part of the fun and even in most urban areas there are spots if you know where to look.

In the cities sure, but in rural bumbfuck surrounded by miles of cropland and nothing else, man does it get rough and you're likely to get shot if you go trespassing on any of the good land nearby.

Not even on purpose, just accidentally as people like to shoot their guns out here damn near every day and if you're out in their fields or their tree lines, you risk catching a stray shot.

I kinda figured in rural areas people would have their own space at least. Or you could get to know your neighbors! They should have enough land for this, at least. Unless it's all corn or something. But you did mention tree lines...

Can someone Photoshop this to be a 4 panel comic but keep the 6th panel as the punchline?

Voila
