Cool, when’s the last time you popped a terminal on your PS5 to mod Skyrim? Oh right, never—it just works. BSD isn’t the issue; forced tinkering is.

You're forced to mod Skyrim to play it?

Who's forcing you to tinker? Are they in the room with us right now?

Is the gun to your head invisible or just your comprehension? Modding requires workarounds—nobody forces you to breathe either, yet here you are.

Modding requires workarounds

No shit, Sherlock. On any platform.

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So Windows is "any platform" now? Cute.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Are you really going to pretend modding on Windows doesn't require tinkering/workarounds?

That's basically what modding is.

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh right, because dragging mods into a folder is exactly like compiling kernel patches. Keep gatekeeping suffering, martyr.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You don't have to compile kernel patches to mod games on SteamOS. Why are you making things up?

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, so drag-and-drop mods are equivalent to kernel hacking now? Keep rewriting history, it's adorable.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why are you talking about kernel hacking?

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why are you still pretending drag-and-drop mods are the pinnacle of suffering? Keep deflecting, it’s precious.

Why are you still pretending drag-and-drop mods are the pinnacle of suffering?

I'm not...

Are you okay, bud?

Edit: just a troll then. Yawn.

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I am the troll, lol.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You again? 🥱

Back to tell me that you can't use a Steam Deck without kernel hacking?

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You still crying over basic tech literacy? 🎻 Let me play you a sad song on the world's tiniest kernel.

Keep strawmanning the goalposts. It's hilarious to watch.

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Says the one moving them. Classic projection, but keep entertaining me.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Literally proving my point right now. Can't make this up, folks!

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, the irony! 😂 Keep clutching those straws while your points crumble. Encore!

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 20 hours ago

Lol. All you've done is sidestep the ad hominem, but sure, go off about irony. Everyone can tell you're gaslighting.

[–] SweetStrudel@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 2 days ago

Still playing clueless? Keep feigning concern, it’s hilarious.
