@chaosprime Also sounds like it may have been a direct influence on the avant computer game scene. The attempt to define games as not-games. -
@chaosprime Like getting an art degree, then becoming a restaurant critic and judging the plates. -

@chaosprime The site's still up, though moribund. Took over RPG design between like 2004-2010, but good luck understanding a word of it. -
@St_Rev RPG design word salad? sounds like the kind of thing that's ripe for a markov bot that'd have fifteen very dedicated followers -

@chaosprime One motive may be trying to insert oneself into a social scene at the top. Hi, I am new, to bless you all with my judgement. -

@St_Rev …recreate high school with oneself as the prom royalty.
