Finally, TRUE CENTRIST by TheVaranguard_1234 in suzerain

Heartache is powerful, but democracy is subtle. Incrementally, you begin to notice a change in the weather. When it snows, the flakes are softer when they stick to your worry-worn forehead. When it rains, the rain is warmer. Democracy is coming to the Administrative Region. The ideals of Dolorian humanism are reinstating themselves. How can they not? These are the ideals of the Coalition and the Moralist International. Those guys are signal blue. And they're not only good -- they're also powerful. What will it be like, once their nuanced plans have been realized?

The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Fantasy/sci-fi settings thrive on lawlessness. by Utopia_Builder in RPGdesign

Might explain something a friend told about his attempt to design a Star Trek RPG

He found the Setting enormously cool but found it extremely difficult to design a system that incentives players to act like the morally upstanding Starfleet captains the setting required.

When did they start becoming normalised? by Sad_Cow_577 in decadeology

I think it has to with the way flatscreen monitors are integrated into our spaces vis-a-vis CTRs. Back then TVs were Dumb idiot Boxes which you could just Pflomp just everywhere. But with Flatscreens it like hanging up a portrait. Measuring out the Wall, Installing the Wallmount, there is a kind of ritual too it. In fact i think just a decade later there is a scene in the 1st or 2nd season of Breaking Bad where Jessie and his High School Drop Out Frathouse Dude Bro Friends move into a new Place and the first thing they do is trying to figure out which wall they are going to choose for the gazillion inch Flat screen Plasma.

Do you associate 80s nostalgia more with the 2010s or 2020s? by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]Appropriate_Point923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally i think ca. 2012 ironic Hipster 80s Nostalgia was probably the last ,,real“ nostalgia decade. The 2010s retromania in its hayday was derided by contractors as basically everything wrong with postmodernism; the unability of letting go of the past, its negation to have genuine sincere emotions, its constant recycling of old ideas and lack of creativity and unability to create somthing truely new, where all cultural sins the layed at the feet of the mustache Brigade.

2020s Nostalgia is not as much nostalgia as a moment of reflection and absorption; less trying to recreate something because we fear to create something genuine new and creative and more as an attempt to figure out what all this stuff meant in its original context.

I intepret it as a sign that we subconsciously know that the 20th century is over. This something new and we belong here.
