I unironically love modding because not only is it cool to be able to tailor/fix games to your needs and liking but it is also the single best argument to level against gamers that nobody would invent or create anything or do any sort of labor without the profit motive.
badposting
badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
YES! like i was just playing OpenMW and going through Tamriel Rebuilt areas on the mainland Morrowind!
BUT THE PROFIT MOTIVE!!!
stfu loser and enjoy the free content made by people who are still passionate about the universe
Yep, that's a big point for me, too. We could get rid of copyright and private game studios, and gaming would survive. Mods, emulation, and game projects would continue to exist.
I'm not allowed to tell my lady "I think I got my game working" I used that phrase up and now I have to just
I have modded and remodded New Vegas probably 50-100 times, it's a genuinely fun process to troubleshoot, balance, and organize for me.
I was planning on playing Daggerfall for the first time, but i cant mod it yet because nexus is doing maintenance
Oof, hate it when that happens, the modding itch comes and yet Nexus fails you
i got started nicely yesterday, but mostly just did UI and paperdoll fixing thus far. all the gameplay stuff is still hiding on nexus
Tragic
Yeah it rocks pretty good to be honest. As an added layer of fun, you can try to mod a pirated copy of a game where most of its scene is on steam workshop.
oh fuck, now that's the Dark Souls of modding right there
between ggntw and skymods, it's not too bad, just cumbersome. Every now and then you will get a big mod whose creators are such boneheads that they get their shit taken down off of mirrors because they "don't support piracy" as they breathe life into an abandoned corpse of a game for free.
When modders try to force you into paying for the game
one time I decided to check out steam workshop for skyrim. The most popular item was a mod that added more hip sway to female characters. The description had a huge angry rant about how women naturally have more hip sway than men and bethesda is trying to suppress this to appease SJWs
never again
I've started to dabble with discord modding
I bought custom emojis and soundboard sounds
You can pry my "splitter over belt", autopilot, and CPU optimization mods for Dyson Sphere Program out of my cold dead commie ass hands.
I love modded games, but I think they have to be simple for me nowadays. Skyrim scripts breaking if you change a single thing about a mod list is rough. I've been doing Rimworld lately, where load order is still important but adding some stuff in is relatively safe. I also like how modders can just build in compatibility patches to their mods.
New Vegad modding has seen drastic changes over time, modders care far more about "best practices" and compatability, rather than just adding cool stuff quickly.
KSP has the absolute simplest modding experience I've ever seen. Literally just drop the folder in /GameData/ and go.
same, i will never play an unmodded game
If you like modding games, you might like emacs
Or spacemacs, if you like vim! (And occasionally hitting the one key that deletes a huge block of text elsewhere in the file without notifying you!)
Modding is so fun that when I replay New Vegas, I usually just do it fresh from scratch!
Oh yeah I also have two mods on Nexus
Shadowmere with blue eyes

Sneaky Canines

The second one is apparently someone porting my mod to SE
well that minecraft space mod (galatic something?) was pretty cool
built a whole spaceship and went to the moon in survival
