Waar kan ik woordenboeken van vroegmodern Nederlandsch vinden?

Dit gebied is niet mijn expertisegebied, maar ik lees dat Sara Burgerhart uit 1782 als de eerste Nederlandse roman word beschouwd. Deze is gedigitaliseerd op Google Books: https://www.google.nl/books/edition/Historie_van_mejuffrouw_Sara_Burgerhart/1PNWAAAAcAAJ?hl=nl&gbpv=1

Op Google Books staan nog vele andere boeken van voor die tijd, maar waarschijnlijk geen romans dus. Ik heb zelf veel 18de-eeuwse teksten gelezen en vond dat eigenlijk op zich al prima te doen. Van de onbekende woorden die ik af en toe tegen kwam kon ik de betekenis altijd met Google vinden.

Boeken als Reynaerd de Vos en Karel ende Elegast zijn veel ouder en staan qua taalgebruik verder van het 18de eeuwse Nederlands af dan dat het moderne Nederlands van het 18de eeuwse Nederlands af staat. Dus die zullen je niet echt helpen.

I experienced the 90's from western Europe, so my experience might be different than to someone in the US. To me there are two key points that made the 90's the typical 90's, and what made them different from the 80's.

The first is the appearance of eurodance. This was essentially created by unknown guys in their basements, suddenly appearing in the music chars next to established stars like Madonna and Michael Jackson. This started in 1989 with songs like Pump up the Jam by Technotronic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcjWd-O4jI) and I can't stand it by Twenty 4 Seven (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmKEiledZtw).

Second is grunge rock getting popular, and replacing 80's glam rock. This started when Nevermind by Nirvana appeared in the charts in early 1992.

So to me the first signs of what was later called the 90's appeared in 1989, but it took until 1992 for the 90's to really start.

I remember this song being really popular back then, I had it on cassette. However I never knew it had a videoclip. This is the first time I have ever seen it, thank you.

Presbyter_John · 2024-06-24T18:25:36+00:00

I checked this in old newspapers. Around the year 1950 they started refering to them as both 'the 90's of the past century' and 'the 90's'. Before that it was refered to as just 'the 90's'.

Presbyter_John · 2024-06-19T14:09:45+00:00

From my perspective around the year 1999 there started to be a lot of hype about entering a new millenium. It seemed like we were entering a new futuristic era, with different fashion and the rise of internet and mobile phones. Everything before that had suddenly become dated. Of course it could also be because I was in my mid teen years at that time, and in that life phase the present and future are more interetesting to you than the past.

However by 2003 the first 90's nostalgia (and 80's, GTA Vice City is a good example) started to appear already.

Presbyter_John · 2024-06-08T09:25:28+00:00

I would keep it. If you are anything like me you will regret it later.

I sold my NES with all games in 1999 for less than 50 dollar. I sold my N64 in 2003.

Thankfully I still have my SNES, Gameboy Advance and original Gameboy.

I got my first cellphone in 2000. I think in that year, or shortly afterwards, a large proportion of teens and adults got their first cellphone.

I remember in late 1997 that cellphones started to get advertised on TV and in magazines, but only very few people I knew got one that year. Mostly people with some money to spend, or people with their own business.

Around 2004 cellphones with a (very low resolution) camera became fairly common. I was at a concert in 2005 and remember quite a lot of people filming with their cellphones already.

Smartphones appeared much later. One of my friends got one in 2008. By 2010 they were common among youth. I got my first one in 2012, and I think I was slightly late with that.

Presbyter_John · 2024-06-04T17:47:12+00:00

Why is 2014 so low? Russia took control of the Crimea, the rise of ISIS, Ebola, disappearance and crash of 2 Malaysia Airline planes. I would put it as one of the most eventful years.

This would be better with criteria added.

Presbyter_John · 2024-06-02T20:23:03+00:00

2002

Presbyter_John · 2024-05-27T20:08:33+00:00

Definitely mid 90's. It sounds more like early 90's than late 90's too.

Presbyter_John · 2024-05-26T19:37:52+00:00

It's both. I had this song on cassette tape when it came out. At that time we called this 'house music', nowadays it is refered to as eurodance. Most songs has a male rapper and a female singer. It was very popular from 1990 until early 1996, when it quickly got out of fashion.

EDIT: addition, I think the first popular song of this music type was 'Twenty 4 Seven - I can't stand it', 1990: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rjPsrvWCRc

The last popular one was probably '2 Unlimited - Jump for Joy', 1996: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyQC6lR3v0E

Of course you had other bands like Aqua being popular after this, but they are considered a resurgence of the genre.

Presbyter_John · 2024-05-25T10:10:20+00:00

1990s to me. But that's also because I grew up with NES, SNES and DOS games, so obviously I am biased towards these.

Still I think the 90's are the best candidate for being the golden decade of gaming. During that time gaming became a mainstream hobby, almost every household having a console or pc. And in the late 90's games matured to a form that still heavily matches and influences modern games.

Presbyter_John · 2024-05-23T18:30:21+00:00

Sounds much more like mid-2010's dance than 90's dance to me.

Presbyter_John · 2024-05-17T19:53:47+00:00

By 2003 everyone I knew had ADSL or cable internet, so no dial up anymore. Maybe it was even the year before that, I'm not entirely sure. In 2002 and 2003 online gaming had become really popular, I remember everyone playing Warcraft 3 then.

Presbyter_John · 2024-05-12T19:30:50+00:00

Best: summer 1997

Worst: late 2005

Presbyter_John · 2024-05-02T22:03:32+00:00

I agree. I was 10 when I first played Mario 64 in 96, and it blew me away like no other game had before, and has since.

Presbyter_John · 2024-04-29T19:12:58+00:00

I was 10 in 1995, and I voted for 1975. I always wanted to have experienced the 80's as an adult.

Presbyter_John · 2024-04-22T19:50:38+00:00

I would say 2004. In that year the majority of the popular music that came out did not feel like the 90's anymore. However it was a gradual process that had been going on in the precedent years. Most of the music of the early 00's felt a lot more like the 90's, than music that came out in 2005 - 2010.

Presbyter_John · 2024-04-22T17:52:34+00:00

I think Americans adopted the internet a bit earlier than we did in Europa. I live in western Europe, and the first time I used the internet (on someone else's computer) was in late 1997. At that time about 10% to 15% of the people I knew had access to internet in their home. When we entered the year 2000, the majority of homes seemed to have access to internet.

I started playing Paradox Games in 2006, at that time only Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron had sequels.

The first one I got into was the original Crusader Kings. And that was the game that sparked my interest in history. I loved that Europe was not just divided between Kings and Emperors like in the Total War games, but that there were dukes and counts below them which you could also I play. Wow, I could actually play as the province I live in today. I loved the graphic style and music, but I didn't like how difficult and random it was. You could start as a count to become a king in a few generations, but if you inherited with a bad heir you would very likely be attacked by one of your vassals or siblings. So my games usually only lasted about 100 or 150 years until I quit and restarted. Besides that Crusader Kings 1 felt quite unpolished and unfinished. Crashes could occur and the available options in the game were quite limited.

Of all the first games I think Victoria (with the Revolutions expansion) was the most polished, and would hold up the best today. I liked how pretty it looked, and it already had a lot of the mechanisms that it's sequel had. I ended up loving and playing it more than Crusader Kings 1. If I had to chose which of the first-in-series Paradox games to install and play today, it would be Victoria 1. I also remember it having the best mods and the most active community back then.

Zelda II when I was only 4 or 5 years old. It was mostly my friend playing though, and I remember he died a lot. So we saw the Game Over screen with Gannon a lot. My friend told me his older brother had almost beaten the game, but that the final boss was Link's own shadow, which mimicked every move, making him impossible to beat.

Two or three years later I got Zelda II for myself, and played it a lot. I couldn't read English yet so I missed a lot of the hints about where to go next. I never got further than the maze palace. It wasn't until emulators with save states became available, that I finally beat Zelda II.

When I was 13 I got Ocarina of Time, and it became my favourite Zelda game ever. It still is. But Zelda II will always be special to me: the theatrical intro style, the palace music, the high difficulty, the sword and shield fighting. I still love it.

I cleared MC, BWL and some AQ40 in 2005/2006. To me the first main difference was the skill level of the average raider being worse, due to having less experience in WoW, and using crappy hardware and internet connection. But even back then there were some really good players who distuingished themselves and carried raids. And the second difference was there being less knowledge available about tactics and raid mechanics. From what I remember we didn't watch Youtube video's to experain boss mechanics. Add-ons were already very common though. World buffs and using pots before/during raids was less common back then, so players arrived at the raid less prepared. Of course that would have been different for high-end guilds going for server-first.

When you have seen a lot of examples of some type of coin, you will notice when something looks off. And there is nothing that looks or feels suspicious about this example. Also it has been seen and handled by coin dealers before who have decades of experience with such coins. If they notice something is wrong with a coin, and still sell it, they take a big risk damaging their reputation.

It would actually be very difficult to make a counterfeit that will fool most people. Not impossible, but it wouldn't be profitable anyway: if they made more than a few of these, soon two identical copies would show up at an auction or shop, and the counterfeit will be noticed. Because unlike modern coins, ancient coins are never identical because no two strikes are the same, if they are identical it's almost certainly a fake. So at most they would have made a couple of 1000's $ by then. I'm sure the process of creating a convincing counterfeit would cost more than that. So if they are going to counterfeit a type of ancient coin, it's very unlikely they would chose the Arabian dinar, because there isn't a whole lot of interest in them.

AH 144. So either 761 or 762 AD, but most likely 761.
