But a preliminary analysis by economists Hilary Hoynes and Jesse Rothstein found that states where unemployment benefits were higher relative to lost wages actually saw less of a drop in employment. In other words, more generous payouts havent been associated with more job loss.

Comparing it to a better game isn't really fair though. And tc, as a first time attempt at a mario rpg it was bound to have some kinks, it's got its fair share of problems.

But as a template for the paper mario games, not to mention the mario and luigi games, I appreciate super mario rpg for what it is. Without it, we might never have gotten the amazing paper mario or the fantastic superstar saga.

I mean I just agree with @a-c-a-b basically.

Probably not, but I've literally had the exact same people attacking joel in this topic make the exact same arguments Joel makes in regards to the weather when it comes to the Bengal famine. So that goes both way

I don't give a shit about ideology, I just think it's incredible that we accurately said that averagejoel denies the holodomor genocide and blames things like the weather and the farmers instead, and we were told that wasn't true...

and it was all true, but somehow because Joel told scar that it was bad even though it was not a genocide and also Churchill is bad too there's ambiguity over all those posts denying Stalin did anything or that the holodomor had anything to do with policy

Like wtf? When have I ever defended Churchill? Most of what I know about him doesn't make him seem worth defending.

W/e, I don't really care what Joel thinks as long as we've cleared the air over what he's said

I do also want to point out that his general defense is that it was a natural famine that was bigger than the Ukraine so it isn't a genocide... Which seems to mean he is saying the weather is the problem

A personal reflection is that it's a very similar situation to the Bengal famine of '43 and yet people are not so happy to condemn Churchill. I'm less interested in whether they're classified as genocides and more interested in consistency.

Do you think average Joel would defend Churchill the way he defended Stalin?

The most Ive seen Joel say about the Holodomor is that it was more complicated than Stalin the evil man killed everybody.

Like I said, the first time I saw him deny it it was a straight up denial, "I didn't know they could control the weather"

Maybe in his mind he was making a nuanced point but that's not what it looked like to me. I don't think you can blame the holodomor on poor weather at all, but even if you do it's certainly not supposed to be a way to obfuscate what else happened...
