  • Exactly this. For me it becomes obvious, when I play older games. Sure, A Link to the Past is still a gem, Super Metroid or SMB3, too. But many of those older games, we have fond memories of, kind of suck today. Just a bit, they are still fun. But the magic is gone. Saw that with Sands of Time a few weeks ago. Then the System Shock Remake came and gave that sense of wonder back.

    Downloads are no problem. Disk space is cheaper then ever. Go have fun discussing games on Lemmy while waiting for the download, watch a Video about it or whatever. It is just harder to have fun, because we have sooo much to choose from and because some of us became old grumpy farts (myself included).


  • I don’t think that your differentiazion between patriotism and nationalism is correct. Nationalism always began with the invention of nations through national movements. The nation building in europe began in the 18th century, not a thousand years ago. Nationalism always refers to the invented history of a nation (“a thousand years ago”), while patriotism can refer to the political system or the constitutional documents.

    I think both are awful because there is a really fine line to chauvinism. The positive view of oneselfes too often comes with the devaluation of others.





  • Nein, das ist falsch. Nazis pfeifen auf deine Meinung, wenn du „falsch“ aussiehst. Die gehen dann auch sicher nicht zu den Leuten und sagen: „deine Meinung halte ich für nicht valide“. Man ist also ganz sicher nicht mit ihnen auf einem Niveau, wenn man ihre Menschenverachtug nicht zulässt. Der Gedanke ist geradezu lächerlich.

    Viel wichtiger ist aber, dass eine Demokratie zerfällt, wenn man Nazis nich (notfalls mit Gewalt) Einhalt gebietet. Das ist ganz klasssisch Poppers Toleranzparadox. Verhamlost man Faschos, sägt man selbst an den Grundpfeilern der offenen Gesellschaft!
