If it wasn't for the racist parts I would have 100% agreed with OP.
TOO BAD Shrug

me too, although there were a few more inaccuracies that anyone more familiar w/ the indie game community would know

1 - he forgot to mention that phil fish is one of the most famous indie game developers despite having never released an indie game

2 - he forgot to mention that it was timw that invented the indie games community, not derek yu, and that he made "a game for f*gs and women" aquaria

3 - he forgot to mention that jon blow was famous long before braid was finished, and was doing hundreds of interviews a day years before braid even had an artist (when it still used clip art)

4 - who was the other guy he mentioned? oh yeah, arthur lee -- he forgot to mention that arthur lee spends more time running pigscene than making theunderside, and that theunderside has terrible writing

and i'll also do evajolli cause she requested it:

5 - evajolli just makes games which have blood splatters and high score tables, over and over

and i'll add a few more:

6 - tale of tales, both of whom are website designers who don't make games but try to fit in anyway and don't succeed in doing so

7 - me, who -- what was it i said to moi that one time -- have mastered the art of making simple things complicated

8 - sigvatr, who isn't a troll but is cursed to forever act exactly like one because he holds a grudge against everyone except himself

anyway, really, i think some of the people in this thread could use a lot less outrage and a lot more humorous self-depreciation. humility is the highest form of pride. nobody mentioned by sig has taken offense so far, you don't need to defend them or become outraged on their behalf

I think the original post would benefit from inclusion of the word 'Aqueeria'

Man you guys suck at hating people

here goes

Paul Eres because he thinks using big words makes him an authority in gaming

Anna Anthropy because she'll make every game she does into a lesbian s&m romp that yet nobody can fap to

Stephen Lavelle because he'll spend six weeks thinking up a game and then five minutes actually programming and drawing it and if it sucks too bad he's at the CREST OF THE WAVE AND IT'S SAILING AWAAAAY

Guilherme Töws because he thinks he's revolutionizing the game industry by making games that aren't fun and that nobody likes

Sigvatr - is Sour because he'll never be able to hate people like Nietzche did.  He feels inadequate at his own inability to truly hate everything AND have a reasonable explanation for doing so.  Also embarassed because he appeared on A Current Affair.

Why not? Nietzsche sucks (as does most philosophers). This thread is what the internet is about so I for one welcomes the internet to TIGsource.

I like the way Anna Anthropy uses the word "she" when talking about the player / game designer / whatever.

(I'm actually being serious and not sarcastic. I don't really know about everyone else though, this thread is going over my head).

Derek yu made spelunky, which is just one genre plus another genre. Not exactly genius! I could do that with my arms closed and my eyes tied behind my back. Derek, Yuu are ruining innovation for everybody.

was sarcastic -- anyone who has read nietzsche knows he was the most self-critical of philosophers already, except perhaps kierkgaard

I just pretty much hate the word "indie" now.

The ideal: People just make the games they want and people can play them.

The truth: Most prominent people just do speeches, interviews or write articles about how it all should be. Adding to that, very subjective speeches and articles.

Added truth: The indie scene is just as void of innovation as the mainstream is claimed to be, because everyone's copying each other.

God I miss Super Joe.  He was a funny guy!

Super Joe should build his own indie forum to troll us in, but with blackjack and hookers... ... in fact, forget the forum.  Gentleman
