hey so Luck Be A Landlord is clearly a game that subscribes at least to a pretty leftist aesthetic, if not just straight up being made by someone with hardcore leftist politics. who knows
and it also makes a bunch of cute jokes via different mechanics, like Crabs caring about other Crabs in the same row, Cats destroying nearby Milk and adding $9, Geese having a low chance to add a Golden Egg, etc
there's a Billionaire symbol that doubles the money you get from adjacent Wine and Cheese. okay, cute, but there's another mechanic
if you destroy a Billionaire (there are a number of ways but the easiest is with the Guillotine item) you get $39 specifically
am i missing something? why 39? is there a reference i should know about killing billionaires and the number 39?
@noiob i saw the changelog and it used to give $35, and it was changed directly to $39
so they couldn't change it to like, $89 for the french revolution, that would be a massive balance change. but changing it by $4 is small enough that you could do it for a joke about something adjacent
@noiob that actually seems like exactly the kind of joke this game would make, especially considering the easiest way to destroy a Billionaire is with Guillotine
