  • I’m glad you can play Fallout 4 without mods. I really just use mods that make the experience better than vanilla such as:

    The AWFUL dialogue options they did for Fallout 4
    The bad voice acting for my character
    The lack of options for character creation
    The lack of diversity between characters and the armor/guns they use And any cool clothing/armor/weapon mods I would like to use or add to my companions
    OH and changes to the AI for the companions and enemies to make them just a wee bit better than just standing there in the open like a fool

    The Witcher 3 has had plenty of very good mods, though. And modding is so important to people that CDPR is releasing a whole ass modding kit, so…


  • Without mods, Bethesda’s games would not have been so consistently played since:

    2011 for Skyrim’s FIRST release
    2014 for Fallout 4’s FIRST release

    Saying that mods aren’t important, is actually kind of weird. Without those mods keeping the games afloat through the internet ether, they would not be AS popular as they are today.

    People STILL play Fallout 3 and New Vegas TO THIS DAY, because of mods that LITERALLY allow the game to be played as crash free as possible.

    From that context, I would assume mods are pretty damn important for these games.



  • In my opinion, the best way to ensure your game stays relevant for YEARS after its release is to incorporate mod support in any way, whether it be Steam mods, or something like Nexus mods. Both would be preferable, but anything is better than nothing.

    How many people would still be playing Skyrim today if there were absolutely no mods allowed like some games?

    How many would be playing GTA 5, or even RDR 2 without SOME kind of mods making it more enjoyable or completely different?

    Just allow your games to be modded, and support mod development, and your game will go down in history, I am almost positive of.



  • Considering how much time and effort NexusMods has put into creating a very good website to host the mods, AND a very good mod manager (not the first iteration, that was really bad) to download and install the mods, I have nothing but respect for them. Granted, I bought a lifetime from them, because I had been using the site since I was a child learning what modding even was. Now, when I tell me friends about how easy it is to grab a Collection, and it installs everything the way it needs to be so you can just get to gaming, I love them even more. Getting people to try modding their games was frustrating as hell before because not everyone spent their entire adolescent free time on the computer trying to install mods that were never going to be playable because you were too young to understand why your computer was not powerful enough to run it!








  • I would like everyone that has YouTube always signed in to log out and completely clean your cookies and website data, restart your browser, and go back to the home page of YouTube.

    It is atrocious. This is what people who are new to YouTube will see, and it is very clear how not only adults but especially kids and teens will be fooled into either believing or reenacting the dumbest shit you see on there, or they’ll go further down the already steep cliff and be even worse off. It is, in my opinion at least, that there needs to be a moderation on the home page. Badly.



  • I really don’t understand this take at all. He just seems like a straight up fool to me. Even if he was coerced into destroying Twitter, why do people seriously go, “Oh no! There is literally nowhere else to have these kinds of discussions or rallying!” When there are in fact PLENTY and could even be MADE for these kinds of situations? Look at the Fediverse for example, but why stop there? You’ve got other silly social media sites that can be used the same way if someone actually tried hard enough. If those don’t work out, you can always find a way IF you truly do care enough.
