I think that’s a bit unfair. When I first came to this site, I can’t remember what game it was, but I installed the game and the walkthrough since it seemed that was what you were supposed to do.
I never ran into the issues of mods breaking the game until I started experimenting with
this game, at which point I already had a very decent understanding of the code behind the scenes and how far it could bend.
There are heaps of less software literate people out there who could have fallen into the same trap as me, and installed the walkthrough since it was available from the opening post (there’s no disclaimer that it might fuck up your game), and then when an update comes, the game is broken.
The default search engine on this forum is shit, it sorts by "relevance" rather than "date", making it fucking painful for people who don’t know that they can change that in their options (I didn’t know about that option until I read a random post mentioning it
).
Also, someone can post their request for help, and roughly (within five minutes) another person posts the same question. Everyone likes to pounce on the dude who didn’t read the post two posts above his, but often the forum hasn’t refreshed and you don’t see that original post before you post your question.
So the only times it’s annoying, is when people post their requests for help with a sense of entitlement, expecting that we
must help them, because they demanded it. Fuck them. A little bit of humility goes a long way, unfortunately that’s not something the Internet fosters…
Bottom line, the world is filled with clueless fucks, if we can’t help them out to share the joys of pornography, what hope is there in the world!
