  • It's funny to me that fully grown men cry at the slightest signs of diversity in these mature triple A hardcore video games but kids media don't typically get anywhere near the same amount of moaning and griping about "wokeness".

    "Freaking Magic School Bus who has a lead female, two black characters, an Asian, and a Jew, a Mexican, what has this world come to."

    guys got real upset at Big Birg saying along the lines of "I got my vaccine, it hurts but I'll be healthy" too even though that's practically the same advice to kids for literally decades
    I've seen people say beer tastes like pee or something, but having eaten a food item that's literally soaked and fermented in skate pee, I beg to disagree.
    I'm cis and offended that TERFs reduce who I am to just being unable to piss standing up.
    In the U.S., I don't like the term "authentic" to describe ethnic food that better matches country of origin. It implies the food here is "faked", "bastardized" or "tastes worse/cheaper" by default, like people aren't allowed to experiment cuisine with different ingredients. Moreso, a lot of the "inauthentic" "Americanized" food were developed by immigrants from their food's country of origin. I prefer distinguishing cuisine as "traditional" and "Americanized".

    I'm not the biggest fan of Panda Express, but I like their food all the same, and I've heard anecdotes of middle-aged Chinese immigrants who people think would balk at the food loving the food all the same.

    Love the video! Oh yeah, she definitely voiced my concerns. I used to internalize the whole "Chinese American is 'fake' and 'authentic' is better" myself until I realized.... no.... it's just another take on Chinese food. I just hope people who love Chinese American food also experiment with more traditional food from various regions because they're also really good. I'm upset people characterize Chinese food as "cheap" and "dirty" because I always thought they have a reputation for being delicious, even fancy at points like dim sun and hotpot restaurants, and China is just a cultural giant when it comes to cuisine.

    Why "American"? It's not like hot dogs originated in the U.S.

    It's weird when the hills in my area are starting to turn green from the recent rain even though it's supposed to be brown and dying season in other places.

    Heh. Maybe Mario can finally knock down that strawman! Intellectual dishonesty enrages him and powers him up!
    I just imagine people yelling about Mario like they do with Sonic games

    And think about the purists! "Mario was good when he had black eyes rather than blue eyes"!

    Why are Mario games frequently so horrific at options? No sound sliders (like what if bgm get you content ID while you're streaming; there's no way to disable this while keeping other key aspects of the game like sfx and voices; other games disabling music would actually help people detect important noises more easily), no control stick sensitivity adjustments, not a single smidge of accessibility like color blind mode, text size changes, changing audio cues to visual cues, no way to remap any sort of button (like wouldn't it be nice if people with motor issues or don't have a reliable other hand to play can play if buttons were remapped especially for button mashers and control stick rotation minigames; also people going from Xbox/Playstation to Nintendo games will appreciate a remap), no game speed adjustments besides text speed; probably more. I went to Mario Party Superstars's options and it was pretty shocking on how there's so little you can do there. It might as well not even be there.

    The game's tutorials and easy-to-explain nature is a plus, as well as the really easy-going bots on easy and the assist modes of other games, and it's nicely baked into the game design, but beyond there, the options menu in Mario games tend to be extraordinarily pathetic. An absolute disgrace of these menus. Do better, Nintendo. And this should be highlighted more.

    nintendo is real bad at accessibility options apparently. i was surprised to see tropical freeze even had separate sfx nd music sliders
    im always in favor of games having tons of options. let people customize just every little detail! this euro truck simulator 2 game my mom plays seems to have SO many options and i think thats sexy
    and yet so many games cant match. the car simu;ator game in terms of options

    I feel simulator games are kinda granted to have options... but then there's Animal Crossing with the same problem that I've seen in most Nintendo games.

    I found a neat site about accessibility guidelines for game developers. You can see pretty well that besides the aforementioned tutorials and assist modes, Nintendo could do a lot better with their options. But explore! There's testimonies from people with cerebral palsy, missing arms, hearing issues, colorblindness, etc. Remapping is a consistent problem with Nintendo games barring Smash Bros. actually.


    okay maybe I should try this out

    I also saw this mod but I'm sure that's not gonna be for the entire game, but I can dream. I also get some Warriors vibes from this.
    If you really hate your enemies, nothing is worse than waking them up at 4 am to argue about politics.
