The reason for the tirade was a mod that the musician recently released for Fallout 4. The development allows players to remain in first-person mode at all times, including moments in the workshop, while maintaining the ability to switch to third-person view.
I just made a mod that allows you to stay in first person all the time. You see your body from a first-person perspective. You enter the workshop area in first person, and the third person is still working. So I want you to download this damn mod.
Then the vocalist moved on to the main topic of his monologue – a conflict with another member of the modifying community. According to the musician, he publicly criticized his work and behaved aggressively towards him.
There was one mod in the community who was very rude to me and mocked me, saying something like “your mod is crap, you don’t know what you’re doing.” So I do this every damn night and just destroy his downloads. Please help me destroy this damn idiot.
I won’t even say his name, but he’s a bastard and go to hell.
The concert organizers supported the joke and displayed the name of the mod and the musician’s nickname on the big screen on Nexus Mods: True First Person Mod by killemloud.
Even if you don’t play this game, download it. It’s on Nexus Mods.
You see, when you post a mod, you should be able to grow, learn and make it better. And immediately this damn idiot started throwing mud at my mod and wouldn’t let me update it. This is what happened.
The audience’s reaction was mixed. Some of the gamers present listened with delight to an unexpected story about a mod for Fallout 4 and Update 1.2, while some viewers shouted out requests to finally play music instead of talking about game mods.
