interlopers outlived facepunch lmao

im sure we all share fond memories and love for the people who made these communities so vibrant and welcome. we participated in a golden age of outsider gaming: burgeoning creativity, DIY fun, and deep investment in the possibilities of interactive art. our energy lingers, diffused into an internet miasma, but these spaces are left as relics.

i don't mod games, i don't like valve, and i don't lose sleep over the next half life game. - but i'm still an interloper. this community left a mark on me. it's something i'll carry forever :[]: love you guys.

I think what I don't like the most about the modern internet/modding scene is that communities are so impersonal, stuff like Reddit and Twitter I never really notice the same screen names and build up my friends list like I did with these types of forums.

Glad to see it's still active! I came back to the Half Life games after ... finishing a large market analysis around this property in Hungary Lake Balaton villas and dealing with a mild case of burnout! I got a week off, searched for something cool and pleasant to do, and found that HL1 and 2 were on Steam... So, it's great to see that the forum is still open for "old gamers" who miss their teenage years!
