Stellaris 101: How to Read

No, this mod is not a virus
There is nothing in this mod that is malicious. Just because stellaris doesn't like to load it anymore does not mean it is a virus, nor is the launcher not working indicative of a virus, the launcher always does that crap. Quit being salty because someone is telling you how to read.

For ♥♥♥♥'s sake, I know how to read. I don't do the kind of spammer garbage that you supposedly made the mod for.

I would like to ask though...WHY DO I HAVE THIS MOD? I did not intentionally download or even know it existed until I looked through my mod list. Your mod is attacking people who had nothing to do with the 'WHY IS IT NOT UPDATED' or similar spams.

Because you subscribed to it, or a modpack that contains it.

What modpack would contain this? It doesn't contribute anything to gameplay except annoying popups presumably intended for crazy people who scream 'WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE THIS?!' five times in a row.

Don't whine about it to me. You're the one who can't remember or check what mods you subscribe to.

If you don't do the kind of spammer garbage than why are you so upset? It isn't targeting you.

Also clearly you can't read, this isn't my mod. /s :P

Your insult was targeting me, that was what I was upset by. Unless you were talking to the other person who said the mod was a virus.
Freakshow 2 Feb, 2024 @ 6:27pm 
I'm insulting both of you because this is the exact kind of thing someone would do to be petty about needing to read a mod description. Claiming something is a virus to stoke fear mongering.

I do not tolerate insults to my intelligence, especially baseless ones. I read the description of every single mod and modpack I come across to make damn sure it not only has what I want but is also compatible. I do not know what this mod is doing in ANY modpack, but it is not the mod's contents I was concerned about, I initially thought it was just some cheeky thing from a new update. I genuinely thought it was a virus because when I turned it off the first time, half the mods I had suddenly 'no longer existed on the disc'.

I wasn't paying attention to who posted it, just the description itself. When I saw you make this post, I thought you were trying to clear your own mod's name. I laughed at the description until the 'half my mods not working after I turned this one off' thing happened. I am an aspiring author, so for you to say I cannot read, even sarcastically, is unironically making me consider blocking you.

Read my history on Steam. The only time I remember even remotely being 'spammy' about an update was an official update for a completely different game that kept getting delayed and postponed. When I find a mod that's not up to date, I try it to see if it still works and if it doesn't I just unsubscribe.

Clearly you don't, or didn't. If you did, you'd see this mod. A mod can NOT be installed via Steam without you knowing, unless someone else has used your account to install it while you were away from your PC. You have to click the Subscribe button of either the mod, the collection, or the one to install all dependencies. In either of these three cases, if you did indeed read the description of EVERY mod and modpack, you'd see the dependencies and included mods, including this one. So, instead of being a normal human who can read, you chose not to and instead throw baseless accusations of the mod being a virus (which is a criminal accusation by the way, uploading such viruses is not only illegal, but is also directly against Steams Terms of Service and guidelines), yet you have the audacity to claim to be the victim of "baseless insults?" Did you know false accusations of crimes is also a crime in many areas? No one here has committed a crime by uploading a virus targeted to you, you are just offended that others are smart enough to see through your ignorance.

No. I am offended that I am being lumped in with people who send death threats to modders to try and force them to keep working on a mod that they can't keep working on. I apologize for not properly checking all the mods, mainly because I had no reason to assume a mod as unreleated as 'How to Read' would be in...any modpack ever, but I am not apologizing for saying I am not a psychopathic spammer who threatens people's lives just to have a mod. Because I am not a psychopathic spammer who threatens people's lives just to have a mod.

You are not being lumped in with people who are sending death threats, you are being lumped in with people who throw around baseless accusations of criminal activity, they are two distinct levels of bad obviously. Nobody is saying you are sending death threats. We are saying however, that you claiming this mod is a virus without checking in any way to make sure its not a problem on your end, is bad and toxic behavior. You clearly have motive to claim this mod is a virus, you seem rather insulted by the mod despite also claiming that you aren't the population it is targeting.

The mod's general insult which is not targeted towards me does not insult me, your direct insult of me at the beginning of this thread insults me.

Oh, you're upset because I insulted you for claiming out your *** that the mod OP is a criminal? Yes i did.
