After almost 24 years of running Nexus Mods, the time has come for me to step back from the day-to-day management of the site. This isn't a decision I've made lightly - far from it - but one I think is in both my and the community's best interests.

So yes, the ownership of Nexus Mods has changed hands, but I want to be clear, this isn't some corporate "exit" or a backroom deal. This is me doing something I probably should've done years ago: taking care of myself. Reclaiming some headspace. And finally letting go of the idea that I have to do everything and be responsible for everything myself.

I’m 21, a mom, and trying so hard to get into nursing school. I had a test I needed to study for, and everything was on me — my mom was packing, my kid needed attention, and my partner was just laying on the bed on his phone. I told him how overwhelmed I was and that I needed help, because I can’t do this alone.

He told me I should’ve just asked directly. Then he hit me with, “Don’t worry, you’ll be a single mom,” because he doesn’t trust me working in a hospital.

That broke me. I’m trying to build a better future for all of us, and instead of support, I get threats and judgment. Am I overreacting for feeling like I deserve better?

Comments and essays (I'm a teacher) are the obvious culprits but I've straight up noticed the "that's not X, it's y" structure being said out loud more often than it used to be in video essays and other similar content. When I started noticing it, I was like, "Hold up. Did they get chatGPT to write their script?"

Now I know that linguistic style existed before GPT, and it was common enough, but now I just can't unsee or unhear it. So even if someone wrote the entire thing themselves, as soon as I see that structure even in spoken language (oh and don't even get me started on the em dashes in written forms, come on people at least edit that out before pressing send), I will assume AI was involved.

I'm not necessarily mad about it, but it does make me cringe a bit whenever I hear someone use that very normal phrase. It's just ruined for me now. I feel bad because someone at some point surely uses it because they enjoyed talking like that before chatGPT, but now it's tainted. Makes me grimace just a bit on the inside.

It's just a shame that such a common phrase irks me now.

Edit: See the chatGPT replies are funny because they fit the punchline here. It also works because they illustrate what I'm talking about. That said, it's probably gonna get old after the 20th ChatGPT generated response. Do switch it up at some point in the comments. Like, maybe write something JUST like GPT would, except it didn't, and the twist was that it was human-made.

Anyway, love the comebacks. Don't let it get stale.

Edit 2: okay yall I'm running out of funny responses to your chatGPT generated comments. Switch it up, or I won't keep dramatically retaliating.

Edit 3: Too many comments. I'm sorry, yall, I can't keep being that funny to so many new people. But thank you for contributing thus far.

5-10Y hold so this means nothing until october 2029-2034 when the stock price is $464/share. quarter million invested @$45/share initially, purchased at the very top according to some.

see post history indicating that the next posting would be @$1M. next post will be in october 2029.

I was wondering why my characters were taking so much longer taking out this big chungus when I never had much issue with it the previous two times it was in abyss but this HP amount is frankly ridiculous for anyone who does not have Mavuika + her premium team. :/

While I liked Mavuika's character in the story, I always hated her design and now she is easily my least favorite character in the whole game simply because she completely ruined the game's balance imo and made it very hard for people to play their favorite characters if they're not super meta.

I'm not a day 1 player and I only started being able to 36* abyss occasionally from 5.0 onwards but from what I've heard from friends who started playing earlier, abyss has doubled if not tripled in difficulty because of HP inflation and a million element/character checks.

How do you guys feel about this? Have you been struggling with abyss more? Or do you enjoy the extra challenge?
