@secantsegment Also... "no mechanism"???? What about the mechanism of existing as a distinct social category which is the subject of harmful societal attitudes? Like almost all other marginalised groups???
@cypher_kuma@Cabanochi1 And both of those, to me at least, has a denser distribution of enjoyable platforming segments and gimmicks and gameplay twists in their worlds than mario odyssey does, for the most part.
@cypher_kuma@Cabanochi1 I mean 64 is also a sandbox platformer, galaxy has some very open and sand boxy levels despite the rigid mission select, Im literally giving examples of platformer sandboxes that do it better.
@gamebuilder2000@Cabanochi1 It's just quite... surface level. There are not many platforming sections in mario odyssey that come close to a basic mario 64 level, nor pretty much any level from galaxy. Again not in terms of visuals or theming, just in the amount of fun platforming that the levels have.
@gamebuilder2000@Cabanochi1 This would be fine if the levels actually did meaningfully encourage or reward more skilled play or experimenting with the movement, but they don't really, the closest thing I can think of is like there sometimes being coins on top of hard to reach places.
@flconstruct@fishytail_@GreatKing0fEvil@Quartz_Tower In the article Gerson Schloem argues that "the symbol was meaningless before, like judaism was before zionism", this is literally the people trying to tie Israel to Judaism, you are repeating their talking points, it's the same as the modern talking points of weak or bad jews.
@flconstruct@fishytail_@GreatKing0fEvil@Quartz_Tower Literally the only people I can find arguing for this reading of history are Israelis what are we doing here. They literally mention choosing it at the 1897 Zionist congress because it was already in every new synagogue.
@flconstruct@fishytail_@GreatKing0fEvil@Quartz_Tower The section you are quoting is directly citing a Zionist regailing how they claimed the symbol, and the article you sent recognises that it had been used for 2 centuries in Jewish communities prior to its adoption by the Zionist congress. You are helping Israeli propagandists.
@Cabanochi1 It's the same problem I have with BOTW and TOTK, the games are technical marvels with excellent core mechanics but the environments that those mechanics are used in feels shallow compared to other efforts in their respective series.
@Cabanochi1 That if you stripped away those mechanics you're left with pretty empty levels without significant platforming challenges, especially for a lot of the later moons when you have to go back. Obviously there are some clear exceptions but I kinda agree.
@MsRachelQOS@MaxQHellcat Mate that only isn't part of culture to you because you were lucky enough to not be affected by it. Maybe have a stop and think before you talk again. Cunt.
@ManLikeVari I had a fun time with it, I think it is very self-endulgent it essentially practices all of the sins of art it's criticising, it's very interesting watching art under capitalism strain so much to be self aware and mean something and the fact that if failed was inevitable.
@flconstruct@fishytail_@GreatKing0fEvil@Quartz_Tower I will not go to asia and tell hindu or buddhist people to take down their swastikas, I will not tell anti zionist jewish people to get rid of their star of david.
@flconstruct@fishytail_@GreatKing0fEvil@Quartz_Tower I dont tie it to jewishness IT IS A JEWISH CULTURAL SYMBOL THE WORLD TIED IT TO JEWISHNESS CWNTURIES BEFORE I WAS BORN!!!! Then a hateful monstrous regime coopted that symbol as well as much of western jewish identity to justify its colonialism.
@NeolibMICDemon The most documented case obviously isnt representative and extrapolable to every single town in the country obviously, and rotherham literally is the grooming gang case with the highest number of victims documented. Its litwrally the same as my analogy.
@NeolibMICDemon It is fucking horrendous methodology, for completely obvious reasons. It would be like extrapolating the most deadly school shooting to every school in america and using that number to argue for gun control.
@Anglothule@GhusGhusGhus So yeah Im not that concerned about "replacement" or "genocide" because white people are not being replaced or genocided!!! Its really quite simple lol.
@Anglothule@GhusGhusGhus We made our own bed, now we must lie in it, as it turns out this new bed commits fewer crimes, integrates well after a generation or two, contributes massively to the economy and fills essential roles in the health service and other public sectors that might be empty otherwise.
