@molleindustria It's funny slash a disgrace. Or just logical when insisting that videogames are games.

Games have become too ridiculous, folks. We should stop.

Plan B waits for you, knowing full well that Plan A will never work; whilst fully understanding Plan A’s seductive aura.

Plan B is very patient.

@godatplay @taleoftales @e_svedang @edclef Me too! Great discussions, and a great group of people. Haven't found anything/anyplace quite like it since. I liked how intimate that forum was, while still feeling very vibrant/dynamic/inspiring.

[Joshua Larson 👾 @godatplay]

@JordanMagnuson @taleoftales @e_svedang @edclef Yeah I think of it similarly, and told Jason such for our big Wired feature where he wrote about it! In my mind, indie games adopted the mindset and it was no longer necessary as a counterculture. I miss the design discussion tho!

[Jordan Magnuson◾️ @JordanMagnuson]

@taleoftales @godatplay @e_svedang @edclef Perhaps, in a way. But the discussions on those forums had a big impact on how I think about and make videogames to this day. So it's also like gazing into the future that did happen. :)

[Tale of Tales @taleoftales]

@JordanMagnuson @godatplay @e_svedang @edclef Yes. It's like gazing into the future that never happened.

[Jordan Magnuson◾️ @JordanMagnuson]

Found myself looking back through some stuff in the old notgames forums today. There's some really good stuff in there if you ever feel like wandering around an interesting ghost town! https://t.co/uWV8jMYIOQ @taleoftales @godatplay @e_svedang @edclef et al.

@Blackcorn666 How could we know that? It’s so long ago!

[notgames @not_games]

@Blackcorn666 Or to the renaissance?

Contemporary artists do too much of the work. Leave something for the spectator to do!
