Wow, haven't seen that picture almost all day! This image certainly gives your opinion supreme rationale.

Okay I'll bite…

I'm not saying that people can't enjoy stupid things, or things that I don't like or anything like that.

I'm saying that it's pretty pathetic if you're spending your time and investing effort into making something that is deliberately/ironically stupid when you could spend be spending that time and effort on something more worthwhile.

I appreciate that what a person finds worthwhile is a subjective thing, but come on, if the guy knows this is stupid and lore breaking as you say then how much can he really be getting from it?

You do realize the world would be a very boring place if nobody had different opinions to one another?

So yes, if people don't like something they will criticize it, and if they think someone is wasting their time they will say that.

If you really want to make these mods, feel free, but be prepared to deal with people thinking it's a waste of time without throwing your toys out of the pram.

90% of the modding community in a nutshell

>>9143

The effort involved in making a mod and in typing out a comment are not really comparable.

The real point here is that a lot of mods, most of them in fact, are really stupid (my opinion). It seems a really shitty way to spend your time and effort when there are so much more interesting things you could be doing.

Yes, I'm aware they are entirely optional and nobody is making me play them, but does that mean I can't have an opinion about them?

Again, this is an opinion, you're welcome to disagree with me, discussions pretty much rely on people disagreeing about things.

Anon, this whole ordeal started because you were too stupid to realize that a mod maker intentionally made a mod poking fun of the lore.

Then, after your fаggotry was called out, you proceeded to be an even bigger fаggot by basically saying that modders were retards because they enjoy making mods.

Now, after having your fаggotry called out again, you have resulted to claiming your stupid opinion is justified because dude, if no one had different opinions, we'd be, like, boring. Despite the fact that this entire thread has not been an argument but instead, a bout of calling out your fаggotry.

I advise you just stop posting and ponder this lesson.

>90% of the modding community in a nutshell

Given that you think board redirects are a genuinely useful standing point I'm going to guess you are one of those outlanders who breed on /pol/.

mods end up being such a dramafest that they're not emotionally cost-beneficial, and the overwhelming majority of it is garbage.

>>9177

> this whole ordeal started because you were too stupid to realize that a mod maker intentionally made a mod poking fun of the lore.

A key point you're missing - I (the person you're responding to) am not the same person as a lot of the other posts in this thread (by my count there are at least three people with the opinion that the mod is dumb) which should clarify your comment about some points in earlier points not being entirely consistent with others.

Also "it" started when OP started a thread about Lorkhan and someone posted a picture of a silly Lorkhan mod and you or someone with similar taste derailed the thread by turning it into some sort of "hurr durr you can't talk shit about mods man the guy who made that mod is soo funny"

Frankly you're holding two mutually exclusive arguments at the same time, and I don't think you even realize you're doing it:

1. You think I (and the other people who disagree with you) are "fetchers" for disliking a mod, on the basis that "if it's fun who cares lol"

2. You think you have some sort of personal crusade to educate me (and the other people that disagree with you) about how we're terrible people for having a different opinion to you (e.g. the "this is a bout of calling out fetcherry")

Do you really not see that simultaneously saying "do what you want as long as you enjoy it and its fun" and saying "your opinion is wrong" makes you look a tad silly? (this is a rhetorical question, I don't expect or want to hear your answer)

But that's not stupid, that's silly. It's not stupid that Lorkhan just got bored working in Redbelly Mine and wanted to go see the world with his friend the dragonborn. And then get married.

Maybe you're so concerned with something being lore friendly that you end up being blinded as to whether or not that something was intended to be in the first place.

Not entirely sure what you mean here other than the "this is being silly/stupid on purpose because it's funny/ironic" in which case you're right, that isn't something I find funny or interesting or worthy of praise

I've made both these mods bro. But I've made plenty of massive lore friendly stuff. Lore is fine from time to time, but sometimes you just want to ignore it and spend an hour making something fun.

Simply put, this sort of thing just doesn't appeal to me, but obviously nobody is making me play them so it doesn't really bother me other than as a mild curiosity/confusion as to why people like this sort of thing enough to go looking for it or make it.

I will just have to be content with the answer "different people like different things" and that's fine.

Purposeful misinterpretation. This all started because >>9078 wanted to look like lorefag royalty by calling a mod retarded because look how dumb this guy is, do you evn lore rofl XD. When the ironic truth was that he himself was a fucking retard because he was too fucking stupid to tell that a mod that features a picture of Lorkhan sitting at a table drinking milk may not exactly be meant to be taken seriously.

Then, once his fаggotry was called out, you dipshits decided to defend him because omg nexus hugbox! Modder IDF get out LMAO", hence why you are all just as retarded as him.

>You think I (and the other people who disagree with you) are "fetchers" for disliking a mod, on the basis that "if it's fun who cares lol"

Except that's not what I've been saying at all. I called out a retard for completely misunderstanding the blatant purpose of a mod, and instead of just realizing I was correct and leaving it at that, you retards just kept going on about how the mod maker was stupid for enjoying to make mods that you don't enjoy.

>You think you have some sort of personal crusade to educate me (and the other people that disagree with you) about how we're terrible people for having a different opinion to you (e.g. the "this is a bout of calling out fetcherry")

Because you are all honest to god fаggots and I want to make sure you realize that.

You are not a victim here at all, so stop pretending to be one. Your own opinion is that the mod maker is stupid for having his own opinions, so it's a bit hypocritical to call me a bully for saying your opinion is stupid as well.

>Do you really not see that simultaneously saying "do what you want as long as you enjoy it and its fun" and saying "your opinion is wrong" makes you look a tad silly?

I've called out a retard for being a retard and I've called out some fetchers for being fetchers.

Never once did I say "do what you want as long as you enjoy it and its fun".

>(this is a rhetorical question, I don't expect or want to hear your answer)

Then why the fuck did you even include it in your post?
