Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Why not just cooperate with nexus mods? Their new app (yes, still a deep beta) works quite well

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn't a good sign

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

What examples can you give of their enshittification?

Can’t download mods without logging in anymore

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 4 points 3 days ago

And registration hasn't worked for years. Pointing this out in this community will earn you downvotes. Nexus Mods is completely unusable trash.

Isn't this exactly like GOG Mods?

  1. Nexus is only about mods, it’s not a bonus feature

  2. Nexus mods used to be available without logging in

We don’t need a proprietary mod platform anyways.

And sure, you can’t eshitificate if you’re already shit

I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds

I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It's an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution

Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don't make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there's a money sink somewhere

I didn't notice it going bad. What's going on?

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Still using NMM. I will never switch to Vortex (mostly because my list of mods is insane)
