Reddit makes me sad - because it could actually be really good... it could be. It's like a game/movie you really wanted to like - but just couldn't. I've tried to use it more - but mostly don't use it that much for a few reasons. But first - let me say this.... There are not just good mods out there, there are some awesome guys/girls doing this unpaid work! There are also some subreddits which are not toxic and useless at all... just not enough. Ok - back to why Reddit sucks. The self fulfilling auto sorting of the 'Best/Hottest/Most Popular' replies within a thread - seriously? The OCD fame hounds who literally live online to always make sure they are the first to post the second it goes live. So obviously - the sooner you post and/or the more outlandish/mean your post is - the more you are floated to the top. This also leads to the most irrelevant, wrong, and completely unnecessary negative/attack posts as the very first reply. That sets the tone for the other trolls to chime in and as soon as you get that 1st negative post - you know your thread is already dead as it will be utterly useless - and all that noise will just scare away anyone who could have been useful/interesting!. It's like putting everything in a bucket - spinning it, and all the crap floats to the top - but no one sees anything below the surface because there is so much scum. So any useful info will be buried on page 15.... and likely never seen. Trolls and the whole negative/attacking tone of Reddit in general is the other equally bad problem. I've seen that kind of crap ruin what were totally awesome sites to the point where I had to give up on going back. And yes - Mods are quite often the biggest trolls - too many who mod for modding sake - for literally no reason - just to get a fix. And yeah - I've had so many modded where I know they only read half the title and modded straight away. It's obvious when this happens when they give some reason that makes no sense if you read the actual post. So many of those mods are like security guards who weren't good enough to be cops - just thugs with an inferiority complex and a plastic badge that means nothing irl. Oh and did I forget the idiotic autosort where you cannot set it to sort from Old to New (like a normal person would do) - can't set it as default - and even if you manually set it - it resets in no time... on every single page you open! I've never seen a forum work soo incredibly hard to essentially make you leave and never return. The worst thing of all is this... they have infected damn near every other forum online and more of these sites will die as a result or be next to useless because of the tone and behaviour of its troll users and mods. Reddit is one of the biggest forums - and when people use it - it teaches them to become/behave just as badly as everyone else they see on there.... In that way - it's a diseased entity which needs to be quarantined and purged to protect everyone else.

Cocaine Bear.... It wasn't bad enough to be good.... just bad = lame bad. Seriously, wasn't worth watching or making.

Hello I've never used mods before; but I am good with computers; hardware and software - looking for some advice. Most my games are on Steam - but I have quite a lot of games on other Launchers for PC.... I want to mod mostly pretty modern PC games like the Tomb Raider Reboot Series, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Far Cry Series, Bioshock Series, Crysis Series, Wolfenstein Reboot Series, GTA V etc etc etc. Can someone point me to a definitive thread/guide on using mods like Nexus etc on Epic (whether video, website guide etc)? Same question for other types of mod systems - which do you recommend for PC? I have a few good games on Epic - but I'm wondering should I cough up and buy them again on Steam just to use the mods (but I'd rather avoid this as I don't have much cash). Is it that much more likely to actually work at all and/or work properly on Steam vs Epic; and/or that much easier on Steam vs on Epic? Or is it pretty much the same success rate? BTW - do mods work for other game Launchers like games which use Steam or Epic - but then further open them in the Ubisoft Launcher or just the Ubisoft Launcher on its own? Similar question for EA/Origin Launcher games... What about modern games sold as Microsoft/Windows Games ? Any other Launchers I'm forgetting for PC? Same questions again for Xbox Game Pass for PC - do ANY mods work with those games? Really interested in this as I will be renewing my Xbox Game Pass for PC this week ? For ref I have a spec'd out 12700K, 3070 Ti etc running Win 11. Any other advice or links etc to help me figure this stuff out - would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help
