I don't shop at Pierre's out of principal. I do it because it's closer and your character moves at the speed of a snail
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.
omg i love you doing the joja route and only befriending caroline. you're ruining pierre's livelihood AND stealing his wife hahaha
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
"Marnie decided to clock in today" IS THE REALEST THING IVE EVER HEARD that woman is never at her till when I need her istg
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😭
I like how Morris said he'd demolish Pierre's Shop, as if that isnt also his house, the church and half of the hospital.
hes just that evil
16:07 irony is Pierre wants to become "The Man" Later dialogue in the game he expresses his wishes to open up his shops across the country. Basically his dream is to become Joja Mart but "His" Joja Mart.
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
I actually had fun with my Joja playthrough. The consequences of joining aren't really that bad, nobody except Pierre actually cares, and the community still improves by the end. It would've been more realistic if Joja corp completely took over pierre's store, marnie's ranch, Robin's carpentry business, and the fishing lodge as you ascend through the ranks; and the townspeople all become blue collar workers for Joja. Someone should make this mod right now lol
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.
The fact that Joja run is much more comfortable that regular run is pretty accurate to real life. Working under a corporate entity is much easier than having to manage your own business. But it’s literally the very thing that’s slowly killing you and the environment
The phrase “Morris’s special chowder” is a phrase I never wanted to hear in a Stardew Valley video 💀
Omg 😂😂😂
I don’t wanna hear that anywhere 💀💀💀
Nice to hear that I’m not the only one that hated that 😭
21:57 I saw someone on reddit say they got to year 3 and just realised you can upgrade your bag, they were playing with only 12 slots 😅😅 I’d go insane too
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 love how she was "not trying to achieve too much" and plays 100x better and makes way more money and progress faster than I ever could hahaha.... so effortlessly.. love it.
A joja run is the best time to do an overall "evil" playthrough where you make all the dick-moves in the game, including:
-romancing EVERY NPC in order to get the special "cheater" cutscenes
-divorcing a spouse
-turning your children into doves in the witch's house
-force Krobus to move out of the sewers into your home to be your roommate
-picking all of the obviously bad dialogue options
-putting the mayor's purple shorts in the luau soup
-putting the shorts in the grange display
-trimming the shorts to wear around
Do all the things you never want to do in a normal playthrough that would make you feel like a horrible monster! There's no better time!
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
That Morris marrying mod was really well made. I like that they really gave dept to his character
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.
It's not made well. It looks like it's written by a 5-year old. Bad business guy is actually a good guy who wants to make friends... and he loves his mama... pathetic
@@pushista9322 not saying that it’s reinventing anything, but they added tons of lines that develop his character and that work together
@@unemilifleur ton of excessively detailed lines that are not realistic for his initial character. He's not a neurotic with self-esteem problems who doesn't know the consequences of his actions. Nothing hinted at that in the original story.
If anyone is considering a Joja run, do install the “Joja Immersion” mod. Villagers have comments after each of the community upgrades you pay for.
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”.
When I saw the Morris cutscene where he brings in the coupons I was so annoyed that the game doesn't ACTUALLY give the player a 50% off coupon from the event . . . that I actually walked over to Joja Mart, bought only half the quantity of what I'd been planning on picking up, and used SMAPI commands to spawn in the other half. XD
Considering how expensive their shit is, you probably still took a decent hit to your profit margins
The Morris backstory in this mod is actually heartwrenching. Justice for Morris tbh. Only thing every villager in The Valley has in common is the fact that they probably deserve better.
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
You didn't quit in the opening, you got promoted to company mandated wife for Morris
I did a Joja run not that long ago and honestly...i found it quite nice. With the community center i always worry about missing or forgetting seasonal things, therefore the Joja route is a bit more comfortable.
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
I’m pretty sure with the marry Morris mod you can upgrade the community center instead of Joja and have new cutscenes with Morris!!
Now I lowkey wanna try it out lmao
My Joja route my character was named Evil of Hell Farm. Since the only thing cheaper at Joja is sunflower seeds, I decided to marry Haley.
This playthrough made Haley my favorite romanceable character.
Also, Evil had wild luck. She found two dinosaur eggs before Spring 20 of year one. She found a prismatic shard also in spring year one. Due to that, I bought the desert first and got my galaxy sword, destroyed the mines, and then got my greenhouse for starfruit and fruit trees, and have slowly been converting the greenhouse to ancient fruit.
Evil got access to the sewers super early compared to all my other playthroughs too, like I met Krobus before the winter event. It's still one of my favorite files, but that's because Evil grew on me as one of my favorite characters.
Her counterpart, Good of Heaven Farm is still working on his marriage candidate of Shane. Good is a himbo who thinks he can fix Shane.
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.
The way I keep my pan on me is I have my character wear it as a hat 😂 it’s not cute but it keeps it in my inventory with out actually taking up a spot
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
Morris is really down for that JoJussy
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.
lol "im really hoping to squeeze in a marraige soon"
liss minutes later "omg we kiss now. i dont know how to feel about this, this is a lot for me"
If you walk into your bed, and hit "no" when it asks you if you want to sleep, and just stand there until you close your eyes you can take a nap and get your energy back up without having to go to the spa or eating!
That is only true in multiplayer i believe
Ngl, the thumbnail makes Jojamart look kind of culty. "Join us, thrive."
Now I need to see a Stardew Valley mod that has a Joja cult or something.
I just started my first Joja game. I felt guilty at first (lol), but it's great to not have to worry about "Oh, no -- I need that fish I just sold for the community center! What am I going to do?" It's actually kind of fun.
The sunflower thing is really clever because thats an actual trick big box stores use. The store my mom works at had to stop selling a certain brand of candles because Walmart started selling them at a loss
we need to talk about how joja is literally amazon
The joke about Morris gaining empathy after his cutscene was chef kiss. Caught me off guard and I loved all this commentary.
I’ve always wanted to know what happens on Joja runs BUT I FEEL BAD PLAYING IT MYSELF
- panning gives you a chance for a lucky ring so early on
- doesnt even need to take up an inventory slot because you can wear it as a hat so you have no excuse to not carry it with you
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.
Siding with Joja and not caring about perfection leads to such a smooth playthrough. No micromanaging, no worrying about missing certain forage items or fish, you can just do whatever you enjoy most for making money.
Why does Morris have all the hobbies of the other marriage candidates? Art like Leah. Piano like Elliot. Photography like Haley. Coffee like Harvey. Video games like Abigail. Who else does he mimic?
Ah, coffee. My favorite hobby! /j
@@jessicadragonare7993 Mine too! But then, I am from Seattle.
When I started playing the game again, I always told myself "You only need 1 more achievement, just man up and take Joja route" and failed miserably every single time. And I have spent more than 1.000 hours of my life on this game and had more than 10 saves. For all the players had completed Joja route, you have my respect.
literallyyy like i just cant do it
This was a fun watch, I'm shocked she got so much done in one year though
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... 🤷♂️
Based on the way you play one counter-intuitive way you'd able to improve your profits is don't plant anything until day 15.
Spend the first day clearing as much of your farm as you can selling all of your fibre and retaining only the stone/wood you need for chests and furnaces get forageables for energy, then from day 2-14 fish all day every day, on non-rainy days fish in the mountains keeping the chub for energy and on rainy days fish in the river for catfish only selling what you need to get the better fishing rod stockpile the rest for when you get the fisher/angler perks, then on day 15 you can buy a ton of cabbage seeds and have a ton of fish for energy to help with the extra watering.
Even the worst fisher can make 1500+ a day from fishing and it doubles as a way of getting energy for other tasks as well.
this + emmalutions joja series allows me to live out all my evil joja dreams vicariously
Fun fact: in the Marry Morris mod you can redeem him by taking the community centre root.
I’m currently doing this on my stardew valley world. I luv my silly guy
Joining Joja can give some decent benefits like being able to buy the autopetter, and its fun to have a playthrough focused entirely on the accumulation of wealth
Oh. OH. Maybe I can’t bear looking at the Junimos and then turning around and helping Joja (who left the skeleton of a coworker at their desk two cubicles down from ours)
i still havent played stardew yet but this is SO interesting. also maybe the reason sunflower seeds are cheaper at joja is bc they are a mixture of both seeds for farming and seeds for eating? i could absolutely see a company 'saving money' by trying to combine one or the other to extend shelf life of the product. this was a lovely vid.
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
I only shop at Pierre’s because it’s cheaper, closer, and has more variety. I fucking hate that man. I got him as the person you’re supposed to give a gift to for my first ever Feast of the Winter Star. Instead of getting him a present I slingshotted a rock at him. I considered giving him a hated item but decided he wasn’t worth the effort.
"Morris is a gamer, uhh"
meanwhile, playing a game
30:06 oh, the main moonlight jelly doesn't come to the player if they go the joja-route, apparently!
This video is so well produced!
I'm amazed how much work was put into it.
Commentary is nice, wholesome (for a joja employee) and so beautifully written and recorded
By any means, this was one of the best video game videos I've seen in a while
I mean
Wow
Ps
You don't need to water once you have sprinklers. Even the first day
This is the opposite of a hallmark movie plot
this run absolutely killed it kjdhfgjkfhdg i love the creativity! thank god there was a mod to go full JOJA
9:48 I’ve done a full year of basically nothing but foragable farming, like fields covered with seeds that I would exhaust myself multiple times a day to water just to pass out and start all over again
I sold tea saplings (as many as I could make) and seeds and leftover forage (and beach forage every Saturday) and earned over 450k+ just that first year
Joja has Liss so far gone... that she didnt even name her cows. Their just Joja cow #1 .
So heartless lol
🤣
I like to think Joja Cat is also a well placed pun. 😂
I love the Joja run, whenever I get the hankering for some star drew I search up play throughs. Glad to see someone married him!
Same
"crazy that men can go their whole lives without feeling empathy !!" AAHAHHAHA i just know that moment that they Discover Empathy becomes a core memory DSJNFJNDS
LISS!! This is exactly what I needed in my life. Thank you 😭❤️🙏🏼
There is seriously so much to this game. I have played a lot of Stardew Valley. I mean, hours and hours and hours. But not since the 1.5 update. Like I don't even know what Ginger Island is. And I probably only scratched the surface before. Repeating all the things I usually do. I was looking at this video constantly thinking: That's in the game?!
I'm currently back on the bandwagon, though. A fresh batch of hyperfocus for Stardew Valley. Ready to discover all that I missed.
Also, if the local friendly shop is cheaper, what's the point in going to an impersonal superstore? Isn't the point of those that THEY are cheaper?
the cut to the decorated joja shed was SO CUTE
omg yay! i’ve been looking forward to this since you mentioned it on stream liss!!🥰
I've never played this game, but loved this vid. Very amusing. Morris seems like a great guy, congrats!
You will like Morris more in 1.6 update
on my first playthrough that second "are you sure?" did save me from accidentally buying. i had accidentally skipped some of lewis's dialogue explainging everything and had no idea if i was supposed to get a membership or not
love this vid so muchhh. You have excelent humor girll, a full 1-hour vid without a single boring moment
My heart can't handle the disappearance of those little things juminos in the community center.
"And I'm committed to being morally questionable, anyway! Sue me!" LOL omg I'm loving this :D
I can't believe the Morris romance mod made me tear up, wtf?
Great video though! I've never really watched stardew content but this was highly entertaining and you did a fantastic job!
Probably way too late to add this comment, but just wanted to note on the energy depletion in the beginning of the game. It's best to chop down trees and leave the tree stumps as it's not worth how much wood you get from the stumps versus how much energy it costs to chop the stumps down too. Plus, leaving the stumps keeps on making new trees grow in the area too.
Love the format you do for these videos Liss! I was also dying cringing at the Morris cutscenes 😅
Omg I just discovered you and am immediately obSESSED.
Cannot wait to binge watch your other Stardew videos, this one was *chefs kiss*, the cringe was at an all-time high.
Thank you for doing this so I can experience it without ever having to do it myself.
finally liss. i`ve been waiting to see you join the joja.
Joja was my first 3 routes I played on Stardew, but my most recent is the community center, before I knew anything about the game and started looking up the lore.
Lollll me rn
I’ve recently just finished your Stardew videos - this came right in time!
I sent this to two of my friends because you were so entertaining! You make me want to play again 😅 Great job!
I couldn’t, I looked back at one of my old saves where last minute I did the Joja Route, and I was actually ashamed of myself. I just couldn’t doom all the npcs like that 💀💀💀
Yesss hour long vid!! I LOVE YOU ❤️❤️
great video liss!! i'm very nervous lately due to a big exam and your videos help me relax :)
Glad you did a joja run, you should to a ridgeside/expanedd run with both mods.... and east scarp. So many options to expand how you see things. Expanded adds a lot to the Joja side of the story.
needed this video more than you know Liss!!
I loved this video so much!! It was hysterical and I love how you presented it!
This feels ILLEGAL I’m so excited
HOUR LONG VID?!? oh you feed us 😭💖
Omg I have been playing for a long time and I just saw this video and I had to subscribe, this video is awesome!!!
Me and my friend on our co-op playthrough did the Joja route because we got lazy with the bundles.
Edit: I kinda would like characters exclusive to each of the routes in this game. It would be interesting if more people involved with Joja came to town and had heart events as well as new people moving in/returning to town if you pursue the community center.
i love your stardew lets plays so much😭
I love your stardew valley let’s plays! You’ve inspired me to start playing stardew 🌟
Loving the long form stardew content great video!!!
13:49 i wear the pan on my head so I don’t forget it lol (it’s my fav hat cause of how ridiculous it is plus it has a use lol)
This has become my comfort video
Thank you ms liss the lass
THANK U I really needed this video rn
you are so relaxing to listen to, love your content :)
I really love your Stardew videos. Easily my favourite content creator for the game.
I’ve never played Stardew but this was so much fun to watch! Love a bit of harmless corporate greed 😂💀
I GASPED I was so excited to see this vid!!! Watching ur vids and streams always makes my day :)
21:50 seeing that frozen tear get thrown away hurt me 😢 (i love my stupid emo frog man ❤)
I think it’s crazy that there are people who don’t keep their smelters and ores in the mines. You can get so much smelting done while you’re in the mines, and replenish the smelters whenever you take the elevator back to the top.
Your keg shed is not full. You have room for 12 more kegs if you put them on the left and right of each row rather than have the paths down the sides. You only need a path through the middle. You can still put items in the kegs that are seemingly unreachable so long as you have the tile diagonally next to a keg empty.
This is GREAT! It's the best SV video I have seen since falling down the rabbit hole by buying the game. 🥰
I made an entire separate file just for the joja mart achievement. And that was the file that I would use as an experiment file where I can try different things I don't want to try in the files that I play often in
This is everything I needed.
So good, who knew Morris had so much going on!
You are so freaking beautiful and I LOVE the stardew vids. I'm anxiously waiting for 1.6 on console and started a new file and binging all your vids in the meantime! ❤
Ive just come across your content and I love your humour. Thanks for all the vids :)
I literally love you videos!!
I appreciate the recap of the start of stardew cuz I totally forgot that the character you play as originally worked at joja mart. In my play through I totally avoided joja and was happy when it shut down lol. I’m curious about the joja route.
love your content liss!!
I would love to see this continue
