@lain there is smods.ru for workshop mods, but Steam lets you download the mods via API without logging in anyways. I do that for Rimworld. GabeN is just based like that.
I also distinctly remember a "piracy" website for paid Sims mods, which is against EA ToS
Probably learned helplessness. Everyone hates Vortex, their mod manager. Everyone hates that they banned temp emails. Now they make you use 2FA. For a fucking mod site. This fucking thing prompted me to re-verify my email address due to "inactivity". Are you insane? You are a MOD WEBSITE!

@lain @WandererUber ModDB but it's way smaller in scale.
@phnt @WandererUber and it's also bad. and gamebanana is even worse.
@lain @WandererUber
>gamebanana
I remember using that for TF2 HUDs/maps back when I still played it years ago. Nothing else was going on there.

@lain @WandererUber People are trying, everybody is sick of their censorship and all their other bs.

@HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber hey i'm in this screenshot
@HonkHonkBoom @lain @WandererUber basedmods is amazing that someone actually made a website that is actually censorship-resistant according to best practiices.
@pettanko @lain @WandererUber That could be umm, interesting. lol... can just imagine a factory farm using that mechanic
@pettanko @lain @WandererUber Hrm, Not sure this needed to be made... But hey, at least it's got a place to be hosted..
@HonkHonkBoom @pettanko @lain it did need to be made and it's good
They have the integration with the mod tools, and are likely funded through the usual characters. You and i both know that serving many tb a day can get very expensive.
You may have misunderstood my position
🇵🇸
@tyler @WandererUber @lain A position of piss
@WandererUber @tyler @lain they're hosted in britbong land and will gladly comply with any rule said britbong dictatorship tells them to, its why all the really lewd mods have their own site because that shit is illegal in bongland.
besides that, the last time that site turned a profit was a year into oblivion's release, its why the owner sold it for a dime to corporate dicks.

@tyler @lain @WandererUber their integration is ass because I need to create an account and then still have to do half the stuff manually
@ergo @lain @tyler @WandererUber That mod is an absolute abortion to set up. You literally have to have Steam in the program files folder, which is questionable for gaming, and they'll ACTIVELY ignore any questions you ask about the problem because they assume you pirated the game. I fucking hate nerds.
@WandererUber @Nesano @tyler @ergo I think mods are mostly made by the heavily antisocial autist crowd, as are free software and speed running.
@WandererUber @Nesano @tyler @ergo anyway here’s the documentary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q6OqJOSmDrY
@lain @tyler @ergo @WandererUber Wait what? This video about the unofficial Skyrim patch is THAT relevant to this?
@Nesano @lain @tyler @ergo it was quite the video, but no, not really. It deals mostly with "this modder bad"
I care very little about the IP issues that the modder in question cries about. If it were up to me, I would force mod authors to release under an open source license and allow derivative works of their art assets in exchange for allowing them to modify game assets.
In any case, the fact that this patch even exists at all should be a point of great embarrassment for Bethesda, but nothing ever is.
