| If there's one thing that irritates me, it's how "gamery" the place is in comparison to IC at its best. It's dour Internet porridge. Input a bold yet unthreatening statement and ouput five pages of back-and-forth derision, in which nobody is interested in examining the other perspective or, generally, thinking analytically about anything. The only way out is not to bother posting in the first place. |
These two statements sum up my feelings pretty well. My interest in seriously discussing video games is at an all time low, but it still makes me sad to see the out and out dismissive, often antagonist funk we fall into whenever anyone wants to say something. We have too many "Official Thread of Blank Game That Just Came Out (lol neogaf)" threads and not enough...other threads.
I still think we have a bit of a personality cult around here, but I think it's a much different one than it used to be. Like, it used to be very obvious that IC was a place for semi-sophisticated people that happen to like video games, whereas this place is closer to asocial/overly nerdy/depressed/mostly insane/lol pedo? people that also happen to like video games. Not a change for the better! And no, TOLL is not the problem, you fucks. |

I think he was talking about aderack's sexual kinks
well, probably not
but that's more amusing
also, antitype pretty much got it right about James. Dude, see a fucking doctor, 'cause the forum axe ain't it. |

Why do you even post here if you're so cynical about the way some things end up being discussed here? Because, pretentious as they may be, these type of ideas eventually will lead to more interesting thoughts being expressed than in any other threads. Leave shit be if you don't have anything of value to say.

I don't have a problem with people discussing pretentious videogame reflections, but saying that the smug rambling that IC became notorious for is better than the more "gamer" oriented discussion is bullshit. |
I don't think anyone's said that. |
Well, I will say it!

aderack, those kinds of discussions would come if people actually started them and fostered their development. i mean, guardian tried this, but all of his threads were pointlessly self-indulgent "game ideas" that didn't make sense to anyone but him.
there's a difference between pretension and intelligent discussion. guardian threads fall under the first, and a bulk of the old IC stuff falls under the second. i think some people are afraid to post left-of-center, oddball threads and opinions, as well as discussing games as ideas and concepts instead of things because we're so fast to shout down things as pretentious. unfortunately, there's no way you can really change this with administration, as it greatly lowers the freedom of discussion and will probably turn a lot of people off. it's just something the community is going to have to stop doing on it's own. it might, maybe! probably not, though. |
To be fair, you did the opposite of ignoring guardian for a while there. Like, you almost banned him and stuff. |
