"Programmers sure do hate when their efforts on a game engine go towards only one product and then never see the light of day again.  Leave it the fuck alone, you amateur mongoloid."

and as we all know, everything phil fish says is wrong, because he's phil fish

though tbh i don't at all see the relevance of that quote

i mean maybe that's a dumb question, but it seems like the "gender fluid" folk have it nailed, logically speaking

they don't care what you call them

because pronouns are just words

the thing about gender is that it's bullshit

it's just a contrived social construct, unlike sex

so while i'll respectfully identify transfolk as whatever gender they assign themselves
i have to wonder why it matters to them

what difference does it make if i call you he or she
you're no less of a human being either way

Dont you dare modify that lego set you monster.

*sips tea*
LEGOs are specifically intended for you to create what you want with them. 99% of video games are not.
Plenty of people consider food to be art.
You can make art with food, but food isn't in it of itself art.

I want to state that I don't put condiments on my burger as I want to respect the work of the people at the grill that made it for me. Salt and pepper shakers are likewise, sin.
This is similar to something I was going to post. It's a good point.
But it isn't.

Food =/= art.

Even if it was, condiments are always on burgers anyway, unless you specify.

He was around for the entire movie.

Wind Waker, Super Metroid, and Super Mario World are basically flawless.

SMW happens to be the most popular game to ROM hack of all time.

Because no human being on the planet Earth ever harbored any negative feelings towards the prequels until Red Letter Media came along.
I'm willing to bet Azumarill probably got 90% of his arguments against the prequels from him.

That's not a bad thing, necessarily, but...

Then that's a flaw with the industry. You'd still probably use mods even if the developers could make their game exactly as they intended it to be, so...

AND then you sell that game to the public, who then do their own artistic creations within your game in the events it becomes too stale.
That's why I'm not a game developer. I wouldn't be able to stand for that cuntflappery.

Except some of these mods are fixing glitches and bugs
That's the devs' job. It's common knowledge among developers, too, that it's like a hydra. You patch a bug, only to have three more in its place. Like some amateur is gonna know what the fuck he's doing.

It may have been your creation, but it is not your right to force people to do with it what you want them to do.
Who said I'd force anyone to do anything? All I said is that I'd take it offensively. Because it IS offensive.

If I make a game, everything that's in the game is how I'd intend it to be. No, there are no beach volleyball courses. There are no fucking pirates. My game is my game. You fuck with my game, you're fucking with my art, and I take that offensively.

How are graphical mods ruining art?
Because it's not how the game was originally. That's the basic, fundamental problem I have with mods. They change the game. I don't like that. It just feels dirty as fuck, like someone got their grubby disgusting hands all over the touch screen of my laptop.

If their franchise is going to continue growing they can't. Companies like Bethesda know this which is exactly why they can't slack off. Especially since they have console ports that can't be modified due to the closed nature of those platforms.
Still, on principle, the game should be good out of the gate. If the game sucks, which it does, and is only made better with mods, then the game doesn't deserve to be played. Why don't these modders just make their own games, if they have so many bright ideas?

You're the only one who considers this "ruining art".
Fuck. Guess I can't have my opinion anymore, then.

Even the developers support this kind of stuff.
Yes, people are idiots. I'm well aware.

If I was a developer, I would be insulted if people started modding my games.
It would be a fucking insult.

And why shouldn't I fix them if I can?
Because that's going to clue developers in to thinking that, "Hey, we don't have to put in all that much effort for our next game. The community will do it for us!"

Mods keep things fresh so it's quite easy to spend over 300 hours over a period of 5 years on a single game. On my next run of Skyrim I'm going to do a tropical overhaul with flintlock weapons and a piracy mod installed that gives me my own ship, lets me recruit a crew, and lets me set sail to do a bunch of random events that involve things like piracy (duh) and treasure hunting.

This isn't excessive if it's fun.
It's excessive. Not to mention, that absolutely fucks up the lore, which is exactly what I mean when I say that it ruins the artistic integrity of the game.

If ruining art is your thing, what the fuck ever. But it's not mine.

Why is it your life mission to say otherwise? Like I know you can say 'opinion' but the general consensus is that people know how to adapt and modify their gaming experiences. If you sir, like the ways of old and wish to stay that way, then that's fine. But the crusade you're on doesn't really seem worth it.
I really don't give a fuck if you mod games, at the end of the day. I'm still going to call it stupid, because I think it's stupid. I don't think that's really inhibiting your gaming experience any.

WHY

1. the legend of zelda: wind waker
2. super metroid
3. ratchet & clank: going commando
4. super smash bros. melee
5. street fighter iii: third strike

In a universe occupied by the force and with Sidious being supposedly powerful, of course Anakin didn't see it.

Considering what Anakin was dealing with at the time, how he never seems to think rationally, and whatever power Sidious was exerting on him, of course his judgement is clouded. It's easy to look at it as an outsider retrospectively like you are but you have to put yourself in his shoes.

No no no, you don't get to be critical and not give us a proper answer, come on now.

*sips tea*
That is a proper answer. I don't know what the fuck else you're asking. You're asking what video games I play--I play "retro" games, usually. Did you mean to ask which games I play? I don't really care to list a whole ton of them out to you if I don't have a good reason.

Then you really do not pay attention, or your taste in games is very, very pitifully small.
You realize games have only been $60 since the seventh generation, right?

There are games that are worth the $60 I pay up front

But you do that.
Not really. It only seems like it because I don't like having gigantic walls of text pointlessly repeated all over the page, so I trim it down to size to make things cleaner/less cluttered. If I don't respond to a specific section of a post, it means I just didn't care to respond to it, for a variety of reasons depending on the post.

Games, especially AAA games like the Elder Scrolls I mentioned, usually cost $60.  Again, it's an example but I guess you can't really catch on.
I don't see how that changes anything I've said.

Don't. Spend. $60. On. Video games.

That's just a little bit silly.
Are you too good for used copies?
