In light of Nexus Mods and Mod DB banning the No Pronouns mod for Starfield, I figured I would look around for alternative sources and collect them in one place for others' convenience. This seems like a good place to put them.

Better alternative don't pay for crap by woke companies. Don't but Starfield.
Don't even waste time pirating and playing
This. Playing starfield in the first place is embarrassing.
"Don't give money to those that hate you and want you dead" is always good advice. Bethesda has been a shitty developer for a long time, but now they're pushing ESG and DIE on top of their general incompetence.
How do you avoid viruses when running executables?
Look at and compare dates, versions, and sizes. Recognize and evaluate releasers and sites. Actually getting a virus is incredibly rare, even if you're only half-cautios. Also, maybe don't play the newest, shiniest, and trendiest game at release.
oh yeah, also don't take your browser privacy for granted.. Most browsers, even so-called "privacy" browsers are collecting telemetry or is open to data-gathering in some ways. Unless you're using (and have hardened) Pale Moon, Basilisk, LibreWolf, or ArkenFox, the bet is against you.
I'm sure the other guy didn't mention it because it's so obvious but use a virus check. Besides the built-in Windows one you can use multiple scanners like the online ones you can upload a file to, though they might complain about things that are really false-positives.
For experimenting with really shady binaries I use a VM.
Also this.
Ya beat me to it.
I do blame anyone who is an unrepentant cumsoomer.
There are millions of games, homie, and there are thousands of really good ones.
Apple II was released in 1977. Even completely discounting the last 5-8 years of awfulness there is a history of over 30 years of gaming to go through.
Sure Asteroids and Air Sea Battle get old after a little while but even if you limit yourself to just the 15 years after PS2 release there is a lifetime of gaming out there. And most of it has has more innovative gameplay, better writing, and generally stronger immersion than anything that came out recently.
Boom. Same with books, movies, TV. I've been playing SCBW since the 00s and I rewatch the LOTR trilogy monthly. It's that good. I guess it's like being married. Ol faithful over and over as opposed to a different whore every night.
I still open Nethack every once in a while and it is still just as fun.
I've played more older games recently. I don't need the newest hot stuff to be happy. Honestly try some older games. If you want that bethesda rpg why not play Morrowind? Want a different one? Maybe Baldurs Gate(1,2). Something a bit more modern? There's thousands on indie games out there, too numerous to count.
Underrated oldish game was Killswitch.
I was thinking more RPG cuz of Starfield on some level still being some kinda RPG. Obviously there's more amazing and often times highly underrated games. People also shouldn't underestimate console games, back in the day there were some amazing console games like. I liked Evergrace(a From Software game even) or Dark Cloud 2 were amazing, Evergrace more so in customization and Dark Cloud 2 overall.
To be honest these faux RPGs overstayed their welcome long ago, and I'm not sure why people enjoy them.* I like RPGs. I like First-Person Shooters. I even like ImmSims and hybrid FPS/RPG if done well. Deux Ex had annoying shooting mechanics when you were first starting out, but it's a far cry from today's games where you are expected to shoot at bullet sponges while psuedo-randomized numbers fly into the air until they are dead. It's so arcadey and pointless.
The Division is one of the worst examples, in case people aren't sure what I'm talking about.
*(There is something to be said about gradually dominating the playfield by finding the best combinations of equipment that let you take on those bullet sponges in one or two hits, but the same satisfaction could be had from an actual RPG with satisfying gunplay. They don't have to be contradictory goals.)
Everspace 2 exists if you want space stuff, I couldn't begin to list the number of RPG that are both cheaper and better than Starfield already out there.
BasedMods is just an all around nice site that should be promoted more.
I like how "muh pronouns" aren't "a big deal, chuds", but then they flip their shit when you make a personal choice to avoid their faggotry in a piece of media that you ostensibly own.

What moddb should have been; a place that catalogs and links to pc mods, like PCGamingWiki does for games. Because of Nexus and Co. faggitry, we're back to the early-mid 2000s where mods are scattered across dozens of websites and discord servers, with many mods, maps, etc from that era are bit rotted and memory holed. Basedmods is cool right now for banned mods, but if there were 1000+ mods per game, the functionality (aesthetic is fine) to sort through them is lacking.
Side-note: How much media is lost from 80s and 90s computing? Textfiles.com is only a fraction of content from that era.

Fascinating right? That so much stuff is lost and it's digitized and from our own lifetime. I myself probably have hundreds of photos I've taken lost on some USB thumb drive or SD card or even a CD R from twenty years ago. Now it makes sense how Alexandria got lost and every thing else under the sun.
Yes, that which people wrote in stone was preserved. That which they wrote in pigment disappeared. I'm sure there's a modern equivalent of a carving in stone. Or you could just make a carving in stone. Like with a CAD/CAM machine.
I think the best bet is to just make as many copies as possible. Dissemination is probably the best way to keep something from being lost to time. Like not keeping legal documents in your home, or at least keeping duplicates in a security box. Eggs baskets etc. Come to think of it that's sort of how Bitcoin ledger works.
Storing things in a blockchain could be a form of permanence. Currently an expensive one.
Stone isn't exactly a cheap way of storing tons of information either hahaha.
You'd definitely want to consider every byte or character. Helps with writing down only the important stuff.
rpghq.org seems to be the best since it allows discussion and is owned by a rpgcodex veteran. Also some of the mod creators have already found a way to the site.
What we really need is a mod website where we can also get all the other mods too. One big uncensored mod site would be awesome, but I suspect might be impossible given how rabidly the enemy attempts to destroy any opposition like that.
It might be possible, but it would be exceedingly difficult. Not just due to the staggering amount of gatekeeping required, but there's no way the leftoids wouldn't be attacking it in any way they can think of. From doxxing to death threats and anything in between. "No bad tactics, only bad targets" isn't a meme to them, it's a motto.
Why do I need to install this again? So I don't have to click "he?"
Should ask people if they don't mind torrenting.
Thanks. Finally started it yesterday but didn’t go very far yet.
