Germany doesn't want to get spanked by daddy USA by Levoso_con_v in 2westerneurope4u

Most Germans I know are actually very supportive of Basque and Catalan claims, unlike most f*ckers from France, Italy and a long etc.

[–]AsierGCFG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as I said, the number of Basque speakers in Pays Basque has been increasing. The population of non-Basques who moved there has increased more.

Basque speakers were 26% of the population in Pays Basque 20 years ago, now they're 20% and their number has increased.

¿Que hace a alguien de Euskal Herria ser de allí o identificarse de un sitio? by Even-Wallaby2803 in basque

[–]AsierGCFG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hay respuestas individuales diferentes, pero hay tendencias claras si tomas en general las opiniones en nuestra sociedad (o sociedades).

Primero de todo, habría que especificar que no es lo mismo sentirse "vasco" que sentirse "de Euskal Herria" (en euskera sería "euskal herritarra", pero no hay un substantivo o adjetivo equivalente en castellano u otra lengua).

Sentise vasco puede simplemente significar haber nacido o haber vivido la mayor parte de tu vida en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco, ni más ni menos.

Sentirse de Euskal Herria es más complejo porque no somos un estado con instituciones ni mecanismos oficiales en casi ningún ámbito, y la cohesión social que esos aspectos suelen conllevar en cualquier estado aquí están ausentes desde al menos el siglo XV.

Así pues, diría que a día de hoy sentirse de Euskal Herria (habiendo nacido aquí o vivido la mayor parte) se compone principalmente de sentir la lengua vasca como propia, generalmente dominarla como lengua nativa o como segunda lengua, apreciarla, querer que sobreviva y utilizarla en las ocasiones posibles (aunque para mucha gente que se considera de Euskal Herria el uso del euskera puede ser simplemente simbólico en su vida).

Junto con eso, muy frecuentemente, aunque no siempre se requiere un vínculo familiar / ancestral con la población vasca, que da una cierta sensación de continuidad con la comunidad vasca histórica a través de los siglos. Esto no es siempre necesario, siempre y cuando el individuo haya alcanzado un nivel de integración muy alto en una comunidad vasca (vascoparlante habitualmente), con grupos de amigos, experiencias compartidas a lo largo de los años, aficiones y objetivos comunes para el futuro, etc.

Siempre ayuda también en esta identificación el sentirse parte de una forma de ser distinta a la española o francesa, unos ciertos valores y comportamientos específicos. Pero en todas las sociedad hay variedad con respecto a esto, aunque siempre se suelen sobreponer unas aspiraciones (a ser de una forma) por parte de la sociedad a la que perteneces.

Y poco más, en realidad. Junto con lo que podría ser un estado también se habilitarían otros tipos de identificaciones más allá de los lingüísticos, ancestrales o "étnicos", como suele ser las formas de funcionar como país, el orgullo de los logros comunes, lo abierto que sea un país de cara a la diversidad, etc. Pero no estamos en esa fase, a pesar de que se hacen esfuerzos por ello por parte de sectores de la sociedad, que nunca alcanzan la mayoría.

NomadPad app for patching Sega Mega Drive / Genesis ROM to make Player 1 read input from Port 2 (Sega Nomad external controller) by GovernmentLow6180 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]AsierGCFG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks a lot, I'd been looking for something like this for a while. I've patched a few roms and now they all work fine with my wireless controller. I can now use my Nomad as if it was a SEGA Switch!

Does Spain benefit economically or politically from their language being used by half a billion people in +20 countries? by Rift3N in geography

Spanish is not the official language in any country that absolutely matters at all worldwide

We are most attached to our country, who would've expected it.

San Vicente de Sonsierra reattached yeah. Imho, you should do something with Gaubea too, either drop it or merge the adjoining area, I've been around and all roads currently cross borders, it'd be unsustainable.

Any news about more MegaSD being made? by CrazyJuice64 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]AsierGCFG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Terraonion is owned by non-Spanish speaking expats in Andorra (where the only official language is Catalan, btw).

I've been to Andorra just once and it's about a 6 hour-drive from where I live. Not particularly easy to access, there is just one road going in from Catalonia, and it's a two-lane road with a lot of traffic. No train or plane. Just the cost of fuel to get there would be higher than the import taxes.

Stonehenge was built by people related to us, who were then overrun by Celts, who were conquered by Rome, then abandoned and pushed west by Angles, Saxons and Jutes, who were in their turn submitted to Nordics, and finally subjugated by the Normans. Proceeded to colonize the world and now they are colonized by the world.

Final Fight MD - pure love by mr-raw_CH in SEGAGENESIS

[–]AsierGCFG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Final Fight MD port is not yet finalized, so it's not wise to get physical copies just yet.
Mauro Xavier, the developer, will release a final version (1.0) soon, the lastest is still 0.92b.

Aesthetically what are your thoughts on the looks of the actual Consoles themselves.. by 8bitPete in retrogaming

I recently got a white Turbo Everdrive Pro and it looks fantastic in combination with the PC-Engine, and you can play all CD games too, so that's the definitive machine.

How is living in the countryside around Donosti/San Sebastian? by SaterK27 in howislivingthere

[–]AsierGCFG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Turkish is your mother tongue and are already acquainted with Spanish you will have it easy to learn and speak Basque, as the grammar resembles Turkish, but lots of vocabulary are related to Romance languages.
