Like all ive done up to this point is to try and get a few fitting sharpness or attack bonuses on the weapon but otherwise i feel the tedium of The Grind is vastly outweighing whatever joy I would get from 15 seconds being shaved off of my next hunt

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

Lowkey idk why anyone even really cares about getting the absolute truly superbly optimal gear out of the slot machine endgame when all it does is give you like +2 extra attack

Like SURELY that wont matter much unless you are a speedrunner… right

@flurryfrenzy "oh you play street fighter? well I play skullgirls which is harder and that makes me cooler and awesomer than you" or the age old classic of "platform fighters? Cringe..."

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@flurryfrenzy that being said I do kinda feel that fighters especially kinda have a tendency for some level of elitism or general snobbiness due to the fact that they take soooo much effort and time investment to become half decent at that people wanna put themselves on imaginary pedestals

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@casiopaper @WonderLoogi Its kinda on the same level of ”why do so many platformers have spikes” because theyre easy to contextualize to levels and are easily readable as ”dont jump here, preferrably”

It just works, and shmup sections can be a nice but SIMPLE change of pace

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@flurryfrenzy If only there was like… a stronger version of the console or something with load times vaguely similar to the other consoles to aid in this issue… like a sort of ”switch two” if you will

(Ik its more complicated than that but cmon lol)

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@LipOrbitch @ScanlineBunny25 see THIS is the type of stuff I wanna hear about oh my god thank you

and yeah like stereotypes BOTH good and bad are better off not used, but the thing with the mexican one in particular is a more complex case

ty for telling about this at length

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

im glad nintendo has stepped up with their black rep with the likes of marina splatoon and such but holy shit do they still have such a long way to go in terms of the orientalism stuff like wdym MARIO has an issue with it too bro

HOLY SHIT IS THAT A MF URBOSA REFERENCE

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@psychicroach @beetleoid Insects arachnids and like 90% of all other arthropods are Bugs, yes

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

do note im not an expert on the matter and im willing to hear ppl out if someone more knowledgeable has something to say but we do know that orientalism with nintendo is strong as hell unfortunately

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@yamilVII its gonna happen till nintendo stops being hashtag lowkeyracist

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@ScanlineBunny25 its kinda just erasure by virtue of not caring about the origins of any of the used tropes / elements and just slandering it all under a general "desert country" label

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@ScanlineBunny25 ig the thing is that the mexican stereotype use, while not great, is atleast showcasing a more positive light on mexicans as being jolly or whatever

orientalism has the issue of mixing like +5 countries into one mishmash of turbans, pyramids, flying carpets, curry and such

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@laughinglich07 rather too woke to the minor annoyance of some than too bigoted to the major disdain of many

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@jamjimjako the general desert theming of mario games usually revolving around mixing arabian and egyptian themes and having the shy guys wear turbans and ride flying carpets n shit y know

also the "oasis" outfits from mariokart world

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@kuriboh98291271 even then idk if shes really stereotypical in an indian sense either but I cant confirm that on my own, but regardless she is very much a WAY less severe case at worst anyway

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@kuriboh98291271 tbf frye doesnt suffer from ORIENTALISM which is the othering of eastern cultures and mashing multiple countries' worth of cultural elements together into a messy hodgepodge, while Frye is strictly indian and therefore only really subject to indian stereotypes ig

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@lillithpilled ik some people will probably have an issue with her regardless which like, fair enough probably as I am still not AS well-versed in the matter as some, but in my eyes she is handled great and kinda proves that nintendo CAN do good eastern-inspired stuff and just kinda doesnt

[Inkfish 🍉🇵🇸 @InkfishDraws]

@lillithpilled to my knowledge she is very well received by most due to ACTUALLY avoiding the orientalism thing of being a mishmash of multiple eastern countries' things and is strictly indian inspired, and even then they dont make that her definining character trait
