I thought it was a gimmick at first ("Based" Mods lel) but I'm really liking that site and its interface. Besides the retro nostalgia it's a very lightweight and no-nonsense menu without lots of distracting elements. Reminds me of some old BBS or Gopher front-end.

Looks nice, although the interface feels a bit clunky in that I don't think this scales for hundreds/thousands of games & mods.
I wish they used IPFS and/or a distributed hosting model like torrent/LBRY to ensure there are more-or-less uncensorable downloads out there.
I heard they do?
Says right on that page. Whether it's IPFS or not, idk, though.
https://eth.limo is an IPFS service that routes IPFS sites into the clearnet, and basedmods.eth is an ENS domain which points to ipfs://bafybeidmr2hwluv5dy7xfgr5m5fiom4aicqkbjk5bra3sdwsnvcp5vb7di (usable via IPFS desktop/companion or Brave browser).
The mod files on the other hand aren't on IPFS, but on arweave, similar to IPFS, but ensures data permanence for a one-time fee.
