  • As the name suggests, a mod is “modifying” the game, in ways that the original creators never intended to support. That’s why out of very few exceptions (such as Paradox and Steam mods), there is not a centralized hub maintained by the creator to organize and apply mods. But since there are some similarities between certain games (such as the game engine they run on), sometimes there is a third party mod launcher/installer which simplifies things. Thunderstore is an example.

    The process tends to be different for every game because every game is made differently. To boil the concept down, basically if there’s no official interface for custom functionality (such as a plugin system), then modders will usually “hack” this in themselves. Installing the mod often means replacing a game file with one that hooks into the game, to be able to load custom code and custom game resources.


  • I got a similar message from that user and a near identical one earlier from a lemmings.world account. The latter onr also had links to a peertube channel with a different angle thumbnail of what appears to be the same person.

    If you had an established profile and DM’d me I’d be more humoured to respond to out-of-the-blue introductions. But seeing that both accounts were created today, no public activity and immediately giving yourself a horny-bait nickname set off all the BS alarms.
