Most living in Bosnia along the Croatian border in the south-west are already ethnic Croatians, and they cross the border unimpeded to Croatia for all its benefits. Those that are not ethnic Croatians are likely ethnic Bosnian there, who cross as unimpeded as well, except they likely give less shit about it because they are just visiting their relatives or enjoying their EUR-bought or built homes during the summer but then go back to Germany to work for the rest of the year.

Star wars and other similar sci-fi fantasies with their single biome planets are bullshit

Now here's another funky bit. Sometimes taking a break from a game and coming back to it weeks, months or even years later will make it feel like you've never been better before. And the numbers or scores might validate it.

I've personally experienced this with:

• QuakeWorld in the early 2000s, where my shaft hitscan rate went from low 20s to mid 30s and my movement control got even more fluid. Factor here might have been a PC upgrade
• WoW around 2008 -> 2010 where I went from struggling in arena to hit the lowest rank to duelist. Factor here might have been my aging reflexes starting to compensate more strategy instead
• Enter the Gungeon from 2013 -> 2015 where I was struggling to get past the first few biomes to maxing out the whole game and attempting streaks with 9 curse and turbo on. This definitely came after watching a few streamers trying to do speed runs and their movement and situational awareness of the mob patterns inspired me.

I've also revisited these games since, again, and definitely only gotten worse at them.

That's right!

My match making in Quakeworld late nineties / early two thousands went from LAN with dad and brother at home, to LAN at compsci lab at HS after school, to local PC cafe, to regional LAN tournament to international scene once ISDN & ADSL became ubiquitous.

We were always welcoming newbies to the scene. But then starting 2003 the Nordic players became increasingly cliquey and started refusing to play anywhere further south than servers located near the Stockholm datacentre.

Naja. Damals in den Achtzigern hat mein Vater einen Plakat "geklaut", und in seiner Arbeits Stube aufgehängt.

Das Text des Plakates war "Ausländer Raus! Damit unsere Kinder eine Zukunft haben." oder so was änliches.

This is bullshit. I will refute most of your points as someone who has lived in Socialist Hungary before the iron curtain.

1. Housing was not guaranteed. You were assigned lodging based on need. If you had no children, you were staying with your parents and two siblings in the 1BR apartment. Once you got a kid, if you were a young couple, you got an apartment with an elderly in it, that you had to take care of along with your new born, until their death. After that the apartment would be yours. To overcome the shortages of housing, the government invested into building temporary housing called panel buildings. They were not meant to last for more than twenty years.
2. Education was discriminatory in the sense that those favoured by the party got a pass. You have long hair? Your dad had long hair? You are a Gypsy? Yeah sure, you can pass elementary grade 8, but you sure as hell won't be allowed to go into a four-year highschool for your profession and graduation . Best you could hope for is a 2 year middle school for a manual labour job (szakmunkásképző). If at all. Often it's off to the fields for you to work at the communal fields.
3. 0% unemployment because if you are unemployed you go to prison. Off to the fields or else!
4. Sales tax (VAT) has been 25% even before 1988
5. The railway system the country has was all built before the second world war. It got maintained during socialism, but the best they could do was put train drivers on concession show trials and execute them when accidents happened instead of actually improving the system. To this day the max speed on these rail lines is 120kmph and many of the smaller lines are falling into disrepair and unelectrified.
6. Healthcare was universal, however it was not highly developed nor without discrimination. What was true for education was also true here. You better be a good party member or else. If you were lucky, you had a relative working in healthcare to skip waiting lines (I've benefited of this a lot)
7. This one was a given. Although you still had to pay for meals for your kid at the daycare. But the times were also different back then. Those responsible for child care were not necessarily professionals and hitting children if they had misbehaved was still a thing.
8. I don't think this had a measurable comparison in any way. How do you draw comparisons?
9. Ahh yes, how nice. Went from nazi dictatorship to literal Russia planted dictatorships in both East Germany and Hungary ('56).
