Best price/product. Don't care who makes it.

Pretty much this.

Honestly, most places I go to are big businesses. Aside from buying online, I do most of my general shopping at places like Target, I mostly eat at big chain restaurants, and generally just go for the larger businesses. I am a regular at some small businesses though.

Basically, small businesses don't get extra points from me for being a small business. They have to offer something their competitors don't, either better pricing, products, or service. Otherwise, I'll go to a competitor.

Really depends

This.

Part of my job is to report suspected child abuse if I see it, and if I don't report it, I could get charged with a misdemeanor under California law for school district employees. Depending on the circumstances, I may have to report spanking and let the police make the determination on whether it is abusive, or I could actually lose my job and even face jail time.

I dunno I have a ton of fun playing Wii Sports or Mario Sluggers with the motion controls, like standing up and getting into it. Obviously not all games but some are just stupidly fun if you get into it and don't worry too much.

Wii Sports is great. Mario Sluggers is one I haven't played, but I imagine it works really well with motion controls because you can simulate swinging a bat.

But motion controls in other games often feels forced and unnatural, to me anyway.

It's literally impossible to be better at Splatoon without motion controls than with motion controls

Looking back, I don't think that I was able to disable motion controls in Splatoon 2 when I played it. But I found it really bad in handheld mode (then again, I did not have free motion of the Switch since it was at a demo station) but fine though less than ideal using the Pro Controller. I'm always hard on shooters on consoles though since I really like using a mouse to aim - I find GTA games on consoles to be unplayable.

It's a gimmick that is no longer novel

I feel like this is the case. I don't think that is the primary reason why I stopped playing Wii games (it was due to other things in my life). I absolutely loved the Wii from release until around 2011, even though I found myself only using motion controls for certain gimmicks in games towards my later years of playing it.

HaRRicH posted...
Motion controls have a great casual attraction to them and are worthwhile to explore even still today. That said, more precise controls are king, especially with people like us who played with d-pads and buttons for twenty years before motion controls caught on.

Motion controls are great for new types of games, like 1-2-Switch. If I could play that game with a Pro Controller, I wouldn't because it simply makes no sense. But when it comes to a shooter like Splatoon, a racing game like Mario Kart, or a fighting game like ARMS, I don't believe motion controls really add anything. Maybe it does in Mario Kart for some people that liked tilting the controller when it wouldn't do anything in the past, I guess.

Grand Kirby posted...
I've said it before but I can't stand playing gamed where you have to aim with stick controls. I prefer the precision of motion aiming.

For which types of games? For shooters, I actually agree, though I couldn't do it with Splatoon. RE4 was pretty good with it though on the Wii. It was kind of like using a mouse in 3D, which I can appreciate as a PC gamer. I can't control Splatoon 2 properly though, but maybe it will get better when I actually buy it instead of playing the demo.

Again, I'm the wrong person to answer this because my culture has never been appropriated but...

But Elvis specifically was more complicated. Was he guilty of cultural appropriation? Well...possibly...but he also encouraged a lot of mixing and blending of cultures in a society that was extremely segregated at the time. He successfully acted like a gateway drug getting white kids to listen to black artists, which, in the 50s, was actually a big deal. Elvis' net legacy was almost certainly to reduce racism and encourage more mixing, which was very much what America needed in the 50s. You really can't say that if Elvis wasn't around that a black artist might have gotten his financial success; in fact, in all likelihood, without Elvis, fewer kids would listen to rock and roll, and Black artists would make less money.


On cultural appropriation specifically--it's only an issue if there is a larger social trend.

In the 50s, rock and roll was almost exclusively black music. Then people like Buddy Holly and Elvis came along, teen white girls found them attractive, Holly/Elvis became much more popular than their black counterparts, and by the 80s, most of the successful rock and roll artists making large amounts of money were white. Rap music seems to be on somewhat of a similar trajectory, where it was almost all black in the 80s, and a mix now. In 20 years, maybe most popular rap artists will be white. No individual artist is necessarily at fault. Some artists arguably have a net positive impact (Elvis). But the trend frustrates people.

For contrast, nobody is really bothered by Takeo Ischi, the Japanese Yodeler. He idolized legendary yodeler Franzl Lang growing up, moved to Switzerland, became Lang's apprentice, etc. Why are people not bothered by this? Because it's not like Japanese people are taking over yodelling, they're not scooping up 90% of yodelling record deals. Also, Lang took Takeo Ischi under his wing. It was very much in the realm of "sharing" not "taking".


What I get from this is that, in a diverse society, culture gets borrowed and your race/ethnicity/heritage/whatever becomes less relevant.

It seems to me that the issue with cultural appropriation is more that white people can be more successful at something than other people that were initially more influential in whatever part of culture that white people are "taking." I get that argument, I've wondered if I would have been more successful at certain things if I weren't Hispanic. But at the same time, I can't blame someone for being successful at something that borrows from another culture just because of their race. That speaks more about the culture than the "appropriator" if they are successful at something that another race/ethnicity is not. Calling out singers or restaurant owners for "appropriation" makes them a victim as well; they're not bad people, they rarely disrespect the culture they're "appropriating", and all they're doing is participating in an element of culture that originally wasn't part of their own.

All that said, in truth, I'm not the best person to criticize cultural appropriation either. I live in the LA area where cultures come together and sometimes mix. More than that, I have never participated in my "native culture" that people have expected me to participate in, instead opting for American/Southern Californian culture. So, there's no "native culture" to appropriate for me to get upset about. And I just don't see Americans (and especially those from California) caring if American/Californian culture is appropriated, considering its influence around the world. So again, maybe it's just that I can't understand it.

I used to really like the Wii for its motion controls, both in games that mainly used motion controls (Wii Sports) and games that just used it for controlling something in a traditional game (swinging the sword in Twilight Princess). In 2011, I stopped gaming on consoles (going for PC and later PC+3DS) until this year when I got a Switch.

As far as games using motion controls go, I've played Splatoon 2, ARMS, 1-2-Switch, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (with tilt controls), in several different modes. Consistently, I've found that when I turn off motion controls or use the Joy-Con Grip or Pro Controller (obviously not possible for some games), I've been able to have better control over the game. Sure, I no longer get to physically punch when playing ARMS, but I tend to win more often when I don't use motion controls by using the Pro Controller instead.

Am I just out of it when it comes to console gaming after years of focusing on PC (no motion controls) and 3DS (limited motion controls) or was it just not really worth it all along?

I'm Hispanic but rarely admit it - there's Mexican, Spanish, and Italian blood in me. Aside from the color of my skin and the fact that I do have Mexican blood in me, I'm basically a white guy in terms of a lot of things.

I don't speak or understand Spanish beyond saying "no hablo Espanol" ("I do not speak Spanish"), I dislike most of the "authentic" food, I don't participate in any cultural activities (and can't stand when they're forced upon me, especially when someone says I should be into it because of my ethnicity), and I don't even really like tacos or burritos. I prefer burgers, hot dogs, and pizza. And if you're wondering, I am against illegal immigration (but I did not vote for Trump, I voted for Johnson). My parents and I were born in the LA area and I have no family in Mexico. My US passport says my nationality is "American" and not anything else.

Now my question is: Am I "appropriating" "white culture" due to not fitting stereotypes? Should I eat more burritos instead of burgers? Stop speaking English and learn and speak Spanish (and the Mexican dialect at that) instead? Join a mariachi band and wear a sombrero?

Or wait, if I do those things, am I "appropriating" Mexican culture because I'm American? Also, if I were to go to Mexico, guess what, they would see me as an American and reject me culturally. It's happened to "Americanized" people that try to get back into "their culture."

What's my point? This "cultural appropriation" nonsense seems more like a way to enforce certain stereotypes more than anything and prevent people from engaging in cultures different than their own. If we're really going to make race and ethnicity irrelevant, we need to let people enjoy whatever culture they want as long as it is given respect, regardless of their genetics. I fail to see how white women having a Mexican restaurant is a bad thing at all, and it's not like they opened it in Mexico - it's in Portland, closer to Canada than Mexico. I say we let them have their business, they did nothing to disrespect Mexican culture. They are respecting it, wanting to bring a taste that they enjoyed to Portland. The fact that they happened to be born white should be irrelevant.
