The Joe Man posted:"professional voice actor" People like this are why I avoid visiting the Modders Only forums on the Nexus. Seriously, I cannot stomach these people's masturbatory self-involvement. It's like there was a subculture where it was perfectly acceptable to pick your nose in public and wipe it on whatever. I get the same lip-curling disgust reaction reading some of their drivel. There's another thread in there complaining about how Bethesda won't respect the Nexus ideas about mod ownership and take down  stolen mods. It's loving insane.

Do not risk your last chances and bloody ask me first, thank you very much. Disrespect will no longer be rewarded, but fought until the death. I will make it abundantly clear why it was done when it happens and who people have to thank for it. Those knowing me will understand, those who don't, I couldn't care less about.

I was thinking of doing intentionally-missing-the-point reviews. Like, installing one mod and then criticizing it for stuff that has nothing to do with that mod. "I installed this house mod, but the vampirism cure quest is still broken!"

I think it's a real big stretch to say these people are against it because some people make money off it. I am more willing to see it as creators being butthurt from criticism in a sphere they cannot control. Reviews are basically removing the emperor's new clothes, and they cant have that. For example, Grimy, a criminally underrated mod author made a written review pointing out how useless and misleading the mod and description of Duel Combat realism was here: https://sites.google.com/site/grimyskyrim/mod-critiques/duel He almost got banned from the Nexus for writing that. I opened up the new version of DUEL: Combat Realism in Tes5edit to see if the issues were fixed, they were not. So the dude is basically bragging about it being in VERSION 8.0 despite being a mod that makes blocking worse if you select a certain perk.

FutonForensic posted:How about games in 360 degree FOV I've seen this before, but it's actually really awesome, and for some reason my brains feels extremely satisfied with the increased field of view. Like it somehow feels more correct despite it obviously not being that. The other increased FoV projection I could actually see being fun to try in a game, probably not the full 360 degree view though, it gets a bit much to handle if things get busy on the screen.

Also that drama really highlighted how screwed up things have gotten with regards to taking criticism. Grimy was first accused of being a liar and having a secret agenda to destroy all modding forever with his nefarious claims. If you then sat those people down and proved point by point that everyone one of Grimy's claims about Duel was objectively true, they'd still be "It was hurtful and mean and therefore and filthy lie!" I feel like if that stuff had happened today, those same people would be yelling "fake news" instead.

Two things I forgot to mention:
Dwesa posted:Arthmoor is a Trump supporter, so he probably yells "fake news" https://www.iguanadons.net/Red-Shift-540.html I forget who said it, or in what thread, but the most disappointing thing about Arthmoor's right-wingery is that he's so drat unoriginal about it. No crackpot theories, no lizard people, just plain unbuttered Fox News talking points. Dwesa posted:I wonder if the modding scene breeds this kind of attitudes or whether these people have some genuine personality disorder. I honestly think it's a heady mix of both. The hobby is a fairly solitary one, and it seems fairly transparent that for many modders, it's literally the only validation they ever get from anything in their lives. Add in a large heaping of the Geek Social Fallacies and you've got your recipe for an ideologically-inbred hugbox. I'd love to get Prester Jane's opinion on these assholes someday, but she's busy as it is. Agents are GO! fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jan 21, 2018 |

Add in a large heaping of the Geek Social Fallacies and you've got your recipe for an ideologically-inbred hugbox. I'd love to get Prester Jane's opinion on these assholes someday, but she's busy as it is. From my experience, it's more just a reflection of general creative/artistic communities. Modders invest a lot of time and effort into their work because they care about what they do, and particularly care for the particular spark of creativity that fuels their work and they regard as uniquely theirs. It's really no different from any other creative community - music, painting, photography, etc. Egos and socially dysfunctional people are common in such groups, and while the purely online basis of modding communities probably exacerbates it a bit more than your local community theater or library during nanowrimo, I think it's at most a difference of degree rather than of kind. I was an active modder in the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights communities for a long time, and it was extremely common for even the most well-adjusted people to be a bit defensive about their work. Understandably so, in my opinion, given the amount of work that went into them. The majority were socially functional and indeed normal people. There were outliers, of course, but I think the impression we get in this thread is a bit lopsided because we don't discuss the vast majority of mods but rather the extremely weird and bad ones - which tend to be produced by the weirdest and worst modders. That being said, on an anecdotal level the most technically proficient modders in the BG/NWN community also tended to be among the most personally dysfunctional and prone to bizarre interactions with the rest of the community. I know one modder who was outright hired by Beamdog to work professionally on the EE games, and he was both one of the most technically skilled modders to be had and one of the most laid-back and personable modders in the entire community. Likewise I know two people who met through the modding community and got married, and they're both normal people who simply share geeky interests.

There's nothing wrong with defending something that's important to you- illogical or not, it's just a human thing to do. Every single person on this planet defends something they already know is indefensible*. If modding is the most important thing in their entire lives then so be it, good on them for finding something they truly enjoy. The problem arises when you have a lack of perspective to go with your defense, which most of these crazy mod people do. Modding is the most important thing to them, but in a lot of their eyes that is equated to modding being the most important thing, because they don't have enough perspective to look outside themselves and their environment and see that there are other people that care about other things, if that makes sense. * - which doesn't have to be a big huge chunk of your daily lifestyle or anything like that CJacobs fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jan 21, 2018 |

The Nexus is only the main modding community for Bethesda Game Studios and maybe a few other titles. The most stupid mod drama that I've seen outside of TES/Fallout comes from Radious, who has made a mod named after himself for every Total War game released in the past decade and appears to be some level of mentally ill. I've actually seen things like authors of giant overhauls releasing parts of their mods as stand alone versions, or creating compatibility patches for other giant mods. It never ceases to amaze me.

I think I also want to write my own reviews of mods. In the same vein with an "Under the hood" sort of approach. I am not a mod author yet, although my own mod is out soon, so I will probably be able to give a better perspective than most. As for Duels comment on his own mod "That it works because people have used it and say it does", is not very valid. People can be tricked into thinking something is good if they want to believe it, easy to trick people into thinking they are drinking an expensive wine even if they are served cheap ones. Same with mods, they are pulled in by advertisement, not technical reasons. Truth is that people deserve to know what the mods they install actually do and avoid the bad ones since people spend a lot of their time on modding. If these mod authors end up throwing a tantrum and removing their mods then the community is a better place for it. Midig fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Jan 21, 2018 |

The Nexus really makes me miss Unreal Tournament modding, which I did a lot of back in the day. I met almost no crazies doing that, and worked on a few large community projects back when those games were relevant. Maybe we just lucked out; or maybe UT attracts a very different kind of person than The Elder Scrolls.

I'd love to get Prester Jane's opinion on these assholes someday, but she's busy as it is. The big issue is that of time. Modding any retail game is difficult: it's a lot of work, and the modding tools are not at all user friendly (with the occasional exception like NWN). Making any mod of decent size and quality takes a lot of time and effort. Joe Average, who has a wife, kids, and 9-5 job, simply does not have the time to learn the TES tools and write, playtest and debug a mod. On the other hand we have Hubert Waddlefarb, who hasn't left his mommy's basement in ten years. He has all the time in the world to learn the mod tools and make an MLP futa rape mod, and squeal on he forums if someone criticizes it or uses it without his express written consent. A dude posted:or maybe UT attracts a very different kind of person than The Elder Scrolls. UnrealEd was intuitive and user-friendly. I could easily see Joe Average banging out a fun little CTF map in his spare time.
