    Tom Nook donating 90% of his earned bells to an orphanage is most likely because Timmy and Tommy were orphans before Nook himself brought them in.

    It’s also worth considering that as a tanuki, all the furniture Tom Nook sells you in the entire series is nothing more than plain, ordinary leaves disguised to look like actual items. You all think you’re buying super expensive stuff, but it’s nothing more than yard trimmings with a little yokai magic mixed in. You can see the leaves when you pick up or place down a furniture item, it’s even his store logo!

    My theory is that, Tom being a Tanuki, instead of a raccoon, might have thought about the dangers of the island and, being a tanuki himself, is simply using his supernatural abilities to keep the island completely safe. This is why, even if you fast-forward the clock 10,000 years in the future, everything is still completely fine regardless of what else might happen in the world,

    • @erischaos
      @erischaos Před rokem +29

      Honestly, yeah, that is cheap. Japan is known for having "disposable homes," with the average home being demolished within 38 years of it being built, yet the price for housing is still fairly high.
      Doing a little research, beachfront property in a popular beach destination in Japan (Miyakojima) gives the average buying price of $2185/m2 for a house in its suburbs and $3062/m2 square for an apartment in the city center so given a 91 sqm house, it would cost $198,835 (approximately ¥19,883,500) for a house in the suburbs up to $278,642 (¥27,864,200) for an apartment in the city.
      I had also looked at the price for rental in the same city and averaging the cost per square meter the cost for renting a 91 sqm place for one year equates to roughly ¥1,173,900. Renting for 5 years will put you past the ¥5.6 million for an outright purchase.

    • @szhou2513

      In Japan you can’t really invest in real estate because the value depreciates and doesn’t inflate rapidly like many Western nations. You can get houses in remote areas for dirt cheap (in the scale of hundreds or thousands USD) and it’ll stay dirt cheap if you sell it.

      Yeah especially when the twist is just wrong. At least for me, if he donates 90% of his profit, it's not really a bad thing if he ends up making a lot of money. I mean, the player chooses to go to the island and get a house, and it's never said (that I know of) that the prices of later houses are upcharged, it's just assumed for the twist.
      Someone else also said that he's magical and can protect the island from danger, and that if you go 1000 years into the future it's still fine in-game, but I didn't play the game so I'm not sure. If it is true though, then it completely debunks his twist too.

    Could you make a theory of the game Crawl by Powerhoof? It’s a game where 4 psychopathic explorers find themselves trapped in a dungeon. Those four kill each other in the beginning, but the 3 survivors become ghosts and can possess traps and monsters to attempt to kill the human and regain their humanity. It has very interesting randomized “lore quotes” at the beginning of every game.
    Example: there’s 4 humans all wielding a knife, they’re arranged in a diamond all staring at each other. The narrator says: “How did we end up here? So far from home in this morbid, terrible place…. These wretched companions were all to blame!” Then the fight to the death occurs.
