  • I think so too! One of my favorite games, especially with Tamriel Rebuilt, which I still have to play. But I also agree with the other commentator - it is kind of dated nowadays, to the point of being too old for me. Gothic had immersive day/night cycles, while in MW all just stand around and stare at walls. At some point this just becomes not good enough, with all the graphical clunkiness.







  • Oh gosh! I fear people may have completely misunderstood my original post.

    So, basically I posted it because many Neonazis (where I live, in Germany) put a lot of emphasis on Christianity. Right-wing ideology is strongly intertwined with Christianity, to the point where right-winger put a huge emphasis on preserving Christian heritage and ideals etc.

    I thought it is kind of ironic that Hitler thought that Islam would work better for the so-called German race than Christianity - many Neofascists are so vehemently anti-Islam that they would be in complete terror, would they realize that Hitler liked Islam.

    And by no means did I want to start a big debate on racism! That really wasn’t my intention at all. I just wanted to share an interesting fact about Hitler liking Islam, which I thought qualifies as a meme. But maybe I was also mistaken - please correct me.

    Take care!






  • Hmm, I think your position is well-founded. I agree - shooting people usually created division and doesn’t solve the underlying problem. However, that doesn’t mean that it has to be like that in every case.

    I personally propose to wait a few years before judging. It is very against the spirit of the Internet, but you raise a valid point - there is very good ground to suspect it will have negative consequences.


  • I disagree with you here. Many people already fought and pushed for the peaceful option in the last decades. Also just for clarification: this isn’t a struggle for wealth or glory - this is a fight about literal human life’s. And I will be honest with you, if one person who has committed terrible actions dies, but as a result many more people can live (see the Bluecross reversal), it is difficult for me to say that it is a cognitive dissonance to fight for the peaceful option and to accept that violence may be necessary here.




  • I would like to add another viewpoint to the discussion. I am German, and for me it would heavily depend what you think while you wear it. Basically if I would ask you “what do you think about us Germans in Ghana”, the reply of the person would determine if them wearing Lederhosen is inappropriate or not. I absolutely agree with the fact that recognition of the mistreatment is the key point here; however, you often cannot recognize it from the outside. Obviously if someone wears a big MAGA sticker on their back, or a “Black Lives Matter” pin, it is easy to comprehend; but as very often in life, most situations aren’t as easy as that. Long story short, we often cannot recognize from the outside if something is cultural appropriation or not; we would need to ask the person.
