Support more, better, bigger unemployment surveys—

When I played this game as a kid and talked to the dude on the island I cried. It was the saddest tragedy known to man. This man was shipwrecked alone on this island for THREE YEARS? All alone! With the beach just feet away? And nobody came to help him? It legit f*cked me up and ruined my day. I was so sad for him

The man at the cannon is a cannon mechanic and there are other cannons on the island, so it's pretty safe to assume that he has had schooling and is employed to do this cannon repair job. As for the guy that was happy that the boat is moving, he is actually the owner/manager of the boats and even has a ferrying service to go to the airport. Which appears to be the only way there. Anyways, that was fun. Sunshine is my favorite game ever, do more. :D

Having worked a season as a census enumerator this series feels so spot on to my experience with sometimes having to make increasingly esoteric calls on how to report. Especially for hostile or uncooperative people or locations.

I’d love to see more of these. Given how the unemployment in Ul’dah in FFXIV is a major plot point in the story I’d get a huge kick out of knowing the real number.

[NakeyJakey]

really love all your vids and been really enjoying learning about employment job opportunities near me

[UpWelch]

On a platform well oversaturated with video game analyses, psychological evaluations of characters, and deep dives into lore of various games, a refresh on the formula looking at something as simple as the unemployment rate of fictional cities is just what the palate needed. Well done, sir. I will be watching more.

The "wet come" at 7:10 sent me into orbit lmaoooo love your videos, Austin. I find them really relaxing, funny, and entertaining

[adoringfan]

I don't know why but the click of that pen as Austin works down his list puts a smile on my face

[viaccoz]

You forgot about the judge and the advocate in the custscene when mario is arrested. I'm pretty sure the trial happens at delfino plaza, which probably means they also count in employment statistics.

[alexwood]

Excellent content, this made my day! You forgot about the Pianta who gives you a ride to the Airstrip but I don't think he appears until the end of the game

[CaptainVile]

I've always been bizarrely fascinated with the idea of bureaucratic systems in fantasy worlds like the guild from Venture Bros, so these video game town unemployment survey videos are very entertaining.

[Andrea-sxix]

This is possibly one of my favourite series on Youtube, always a treat seeing this pop up in my feed.

[zswords]

The actually reasonably well put together and thought out analysis of the econmic situation in delfino plaza is staggering, well done! I will say some of the tweaks in the dialogue from game states would imply maybe one or two more that I can think of off hand, and there's a handful of implied bodies that could use mentioning (the news ticker team, for example, or the judge from the court case) but yeah, very nicely put together!

[LunaAlphaKretin]

I'll be honest when I got these videos recommended I thought they'd be dry wiki-reading but seeing how the premise is executed, these are fantastic, I look forward to more.

[AKcosplay]

I love these videos (and your uninteresting and odd places videos) so much because it makes me think about the worlds of the games differently. The unemployment videos show which developers care about making more immersive worlds and which ones create the characters only because they're needed for the purpose of the game. The uninteresting places videos show that the amount of effort put into making maps and level design is super important to overall vibes of a game. Love these vids, keep it up!

[OrpheusMC]

Dude please keep making videos like this it’s so good. I love the super formal report delivery at the end! 😭

[timothypetrie]

This series is great, please continue

[Beodude]

Absolutely love these videos. Such a great concept. I love the dry humor. Keep it up, and thank you!

Hear me out, if you’re paying him, then it’s his job. He’s like a freelancer but his schtick is throwing you for a loop.

[Gendreau]

13:30 I do believe you missed the Painta on the right half the of the screen! I sorta walks back and fourth along that peir.
