Gave a look all over the site and i see no sign of it being owned by anybody other than the original creator and a maintainer, no signs of a corporation involved, and the Wikipedia entry (i get a kick of a theme having a Wiki entry) doesn’t list any such ownership so maybe it’s still independent.
So far all points at just no one making a Dracula Mint theme, don’t think i would be the one doing it though (and a quick search didn’t get me a guide on making one either)
Seen the word “Bleakquel” used for it, but since it’s handier to point people at, we have TVTropes with Happy Ending Override. It’s so damn common because a happy ending means they cannot continue the story, so it must be ruined.
The issue is not the code, is all the infrastructure needed to develop something as heavy as a browser, which is what they have captive
Oh no we’re never forgetting that, or the fact that shortly after he used even MORE money than what the UN proposed to buy Twitter instead

Received a share.google link and checked what it did: It redirects to something with URL format “https://www.google.com/share.google?q=SOME_CODE”, which is a normal page that IS the target as far as curl and such tools are concerned but redirects on the browser probably using Javascript, so it will not redirect it with our normal tools. It will need custom code or Javascript execution. So, they knew what they were doing and used their powers for evil, as they usually do now.
I was hoping for a self-hosted resource, not a remote API, since this is the Selfhosted community
It is not enough for the increasingly common share.google links for example, and i bet there’s more like this
Basically “You must be prompting it wrong!”
These goddamned fucks
100% chances that it was some shitty hedge fund VC that will squeeze the place for money ruining it utterly
Edit: From a comment elsewhere:
People on Restera did some digging: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nexus-mods-site-has-been-sold.1219452/post-141554013 Site of the company itself: https://wearechosen.io/ Here is a monetization “cheat sheet” that the CEO posted on LinkedIn which is linked on Chosen’s main page if you scroll down: https://i.imgur.com/ztjS4K7.jpeg In the CEO’s LinkedIn profile it says this: Working closely with teams at NexusMods and beyond to build meaningful, sustainable experiences If I had to guess the acquisition details are under some sort of NDA right now
Oh yeah, that history search is absolute garbage and has been so for a few years now, it’s sometimes easier to do a normal YT search, i’ve been tempted many times to do a periodic Takeout and use the result to do a proper local search, but honestly feels like too much work for the purpose
For those of us who have never played any of them, is it suggested you go through 1 and 2 first? Is there a recommended play order? Or just “Jump into 3 and forget about it”?
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Isn’t that the PineTime? Or am i mistaken in that somehow?
I’ve heard this described as “the 1% Rule”, which more or less goes like: In online communities, 1% of the users generate 90% of the content, 9% of the users create 10% of the content by reacting to, modifying or generally interacting with that 1%, and the other 90% of people are lurkers. This fits quite well with what I’ve seen on online communities myself for decades. So, if you alienate that 1%, your community will eventually either disappear or become a hollow reflection of what it used to be.
Yet it still must be done
This site is in the US, is there a mirror for if/when they decide to target it?
Mostly no one knows it exists, your comment is the first time I’ve heard of it for example
