  then stop pretending about hugi being a scene diskmag already... why you add it pouet then? why there is demoscene content there at all then?"

  
  You poor fellow. At least you ought to learn reading...

  adok, i think the problem is that hugi has sunk so low lately that no one really wants to support it :)

  
  In that case, I'd feel morally obliged to persist making pressure on individual potential contributors until they submit some excellent pieces of gfx and music.
  
  The problem is that I don't agree with your opinion on recent issues of Hugi: I like the graphics and music of Hugi 29 very much; don't forget that it's me who selected them. Regarding the contents, I'm not that interested in reading about scene-related stuff. I personally prefer the literature and real life sections.
  
  By the way, Hugi isn't a demo scene magazine. It's just a mag that also contains articles about the demo scene, among many other topics. At the moment one could say that Hugi focuses on computer arts, but even that might change (although I don't think that it will do so in the near future).
  
  For the future of Hugi, I wish that it will also gain more popularity outside the demo scene, and that we get more talented contributors from outside of the demo scene so that we will no longer be "dependent" on the demo scene. This is the prime reason why there has been the idea of transforming Hugi to an online magazine. After all, people who don't download .exe files regularly like demo watchers and the like might feel a bit uncomfortable when they have to download and start an .exe file just in order to read a mag.
  
  Everybody please feel free to tell their non-scene friends about Hugi, and also feel encouraged to post about Hugi, including a link to our website www.hugi.de, to discussion boards, portal sites etc. of other communities! Thank you very much in advance for your support.

  adok, if you want this mag to be anything like the level it used to be, employ some quality control (if you are already, i hate to see what you rejected). at least start with some half decent graphics and music.

  
  I'd love to "start with some half decent graphics and music". So, please contribute some.
  
  I can only use what I get from you people. I guess that by now, everybody knows that. So now it's time to act!

  Thank you for your comments! As a matter of fact, Hugi 30 is going to feature at least one (cool!) article by Preacher indeed. =)

  Watch your mouth! The next time you use so many four-letter-words in a single posting, I'll recommend seeing a psychiatrist.

  adok^hugi> yeah you're right. and what about adding K-Storm in the Hugi30 greetings please ?

  
  
  Sorry! You're right that K-Storm deserves being greeted in Hugi. I've forgotten it. I'll include greetings for K-Storm in Hugi 30.

• About dipswitch in general:
  
  There are three words I've never read in any comment of yours: "in", "my" and "opinion". You always present your opinion as it if were the absolute truth. That's a method which makes discussion impossible, and it's a feature of an authoritarian ideology. The basic feature of democracy is freedom of opinion, and it's one of the layers which our civilized society is based on. But if you present something as being the absolute truth, you protect yourself from people who might have better arguments.
  
  I'd recommend that you read books by Karl Popper, especially "The Open Society and Its Enemies" ("Die offene Gesellschaft und ihre Feinde") and "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" ("Logik der Forschung").

  a) "how to save the demoscene" by ep:
  
  ...
  
  the next chapter, "remove black & white...", does not need to be commented on and just shows the narrowness of EP's aesthetic horizon. i read quite a lot on aesthetics of totalitarian societies in the last months (works by paperny, groys and other culture-philosophers and historicians), and EP's views in this chapter are very much reminding me on these... "socialistic realism" in the ussr from 1932 on also required from all artforms to bring on "cheerful", "lively" and so on motives.

  
  
  Emmanuel Poirier has written that the scene "lacks creativity". "The problem with nowadays demos is their lack of creativity: 80% of the time I download stuff from scene.org or pouet.net I do not see nice contents: black environments with geometric shapres, quite anxious stuff and this will not drive more people to the scene. ..."
  
  What does this have to do with "socialist realism"?! Socialist realism was about showing the working class at labour. In the German Democratic Republic, for example, it was like this: when you created a song about love, the text was required to deal with the love of a kolchos farmer's daughter to a tractor driver.
  
  Emmanuel Poirier has not written anything that could be considered "socialist realism"!
  
  
  Quote:

  the "we must change sceners" fits perfectly in that context too - it's a try to establish behavement and living norms, a position that the demoscene as an anarchically-rooted community just has to reject. if someone drinks alcohol or eats fastfood is the individual's own business, it has NOTHING to do with the scene.

  
  
  Emmanuel Poirier writes: "And we must change ourselves: we are the elite. Why are you making yourself uncomfortable and ill? Are you drinking? Are you eating absolutely everything? Hey, this is your health, this is your life, don't waste it. We need you in good shape, in good health, in good mental health, yes we need good coders, good musicians, good graphicians, and we need a good spirit, without competition, 'I'm the best, you are a lamer' is not a good spirit, it's the spirit of bad mannered-people."
  
  I am unable to see any connection with "socialist realism". Health, mental health, good spirit - these are things that are important for every human being.
  
  You are making outrageous associations. Not with the best will in the world would I be able to follow your path of thinking.

  e) "scene national anthems" by adok:
  
  okay, now for some attempt on humour. apart from the aspect i don't see any slightly spark of fun and originality in the idea of paraphrasing state anthems (collecting typical songs sceners sing on demoparties would be a far more interesting approach), i have one plea to adok: if you are dealing with some matter, make sure you have knowledge about it! this article shows that our oh-so-intellectual-superstudent adok don't really have a clue what he's writing about. first of all, if you took "functioning" anthems for all the countries, why did you take the german nazi anthem for paraphrasation? a subtile hint on all germans still being nazis? or just a show-off of your cluelesness?
  
  yes, i know that that part of the anthem was created before 1848 and stood in a totally different political context originally, but, all ideological ballast aside, this is NOT the current german anthem.

  
  
  
  Dear dipswitch, you are as wrong as you are most of the time. This IS the current German anthem.
  
  The text was composed by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874) in the year 1841. The music is from Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809). The anthem consists of three verses. At official celebrations usually only the music is played, without singing; and if there is singing, then people sing only the third verse.
  
  The Nazi anthem which you are talking about all the time was the so-called "Horst-Wessel-Lied".
  
  During the rule of the Nazis, this song was played right after the German national anthem. You being a student of history ought to know this.

  Dass überhaupt jemand auf die Idee kommen kann, diesen armen, harmlosen dipswitch, der vermutlich in seinem ganzen Leben noch nie jemandem größeres Leid getan hat, mit diesem größenwahnsinnigen Westentaschen-Napoleon Chirac zu vergleichen!
