Sure, but that isn't what the point was. The point was steeping in the past due to the fear of progress, not whether the past had good things in it.

I don't see how that could be an accurate assessment of Old Tyrannia's comment, tbh; and nor do I think this 'progression' requires us to 'pave over or tear down history,' as Old Tyrannia put it.

I'm not sure how suggesting that Venice's canals be filled in with concrete and the city torn down as War Gears did could be interpreted as anything other than "paving over and tearing down history."

I never said otherwise, in fact, I agree. I think there is some serious confusion here.

Only that Hungarian understood the true power of language. I imagine thats how certain French speakers feel since their language has been relegated to 2nd tier nobody speaks it status.

The most right wing game series ever. Big fan of Outer Heaven, that was a great concept. It was ahead of its time the more I think about it. Also good was the angry man's musings on language on how it influences the mind. That was some pretty deep shit.

Depends on which timeline you play.

1. Solidu Snaku, big time hippie war-is-bad-we-shouldn't-need-to-do-this.

2. BIG BOSS, governments are the problem, war is the motherfucking answer.

No more governments to betray poor Joe, a home for abandoned and abused Joes, Outer Heaven. Please donate just $5 a month to give these poor souls a home.

Also Zero was the true realization of the Boss's dream :^)
