"Ethical political action on the part of humans seems to require not only a vigilant critique of existing institutions but also positive, even utopian alternatives."
—Jane Bennett, Vibrant Matter
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.
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!
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. :)
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! notgames.org/forum/index.php@taleoftales@godatplay@e_svedang @edclef et al.
