99% of all modders are pretentious douchebags and 99% of all mods are useless vanity projects. Can't get around this.
Well 99% of all forumers that just complain and don't do shit are pretentious douchebags as well.
The difference is that depending on the quality of the mods, modders actually get something important for their portfolio out of it.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! "THEIR PORTFOLIO"?!! Fuck off, retard.
Nobody gives a shit.
And also you need to look up the word pretentious. Maybe buy a dictionary with accompanying grade school teacher since you seem to have had a fairly lacking education.
Yeah, you know. Except Valve, Obsidian (Jorge Salgado as a prominent example) and like every other game developer. Actual experience is what matters. Same reason a degree in game design is usually frowned upon if you can't show off something.
You know those fingers I mentioned? About the modders I don't hate? Salgado is one of those fingers. And you know what? Hiring him made sense since his work on the Gamebryo engine (probably) benefited Obsidian's work on New Vegas. What's killap doing? Is there really a lot of demand for salvagers of abandoned crap? Look, there's good modders and shit modders, there's a difference. Salgado belongs to the 1% that actually made something that proved to be made for something more than just ego. Also he's a nice guy. The worst thing I can say about Obscuro is that he, unintentionally, inspired dozens of douchebags that wanted to do their own overhaul mods and land a career. The newest one being the Falkskaar mod or whatever the fuck it was called but at least it didn't fuck around, it literally was a job application.
I repeat, nobody gives a shit. Fallout 2 is an old game. It's outdated. What killap has done is certainly impressive in its own special way, and he CAN use it, but it is of NO consequence whatsoever that "he modded Fallout 2". My advice would be to put that under "hobbies" on his curriculum vitae. In white text on white paper.
Also pretentious
characterized by assumption of dignity or importance, especially when exaggerated or undeserved: a pretentious, self-important waiter.
And since you apparently believe anybody gives a shit what you write (Because honestly, you can discuss games as long as you want. If you don't do something yourself nobody, least of all a potential employer, will give a shit) I do think I was pretty accurate. Most people who write in forums think their opinion is all that important and they are *EXPERTS* at what they are doing. (Including me at times)
You're talking out of your ass, flailing in the fucking dark like a moron. I certainly don't think I'm an inspiration to others or that my work is the best thing ever or that I've saved an abandoned game from being forgotten by implementing a dozen fetch quests and give Cassidy a poorly done talking head with fan-made voice acting.
And yes you're right, I certainly do believe some people give a shit about what I write, as do *I hope* most forum goers! Why? Because it's an internet forum! People WILL read my posts and they WILL reply to them, just like you have. It's quite frankly a kind of inevitable thing, which I have no control over if I want to use this thing. Do I have to fucking explain the concept of message boards to you as well? So yes, you're correct in your own
way.
edit: I shuddered at the thought that I may also have to explain to you how none of that is pretentious, but rather just social interaction. Well, whatever. Now I've oversimplified. Let me know if you have any trouble.
