Yesterday April 1st was LambdaGeneration's annual #TheBar event of which this year was Ricochet with #RicochetingTheBar; reaching an all-time peak of 353 from the previous peak of 95.

...and I missed the event. Gonna decapitate my head off later.

looking at moddb today it seems that the infinite finality modding team has imploded because some of the devs where a little racist its all included in this moddb post, most of it was just about gypsies and if you don't live in europe you won't understand the hatred people have against gypsies here, they cause problems everywhere they go and they pretend like they're some opressed minority group when they're mostly just crooks. Anyways this is really retarded but I thought it might be funny for some people.

I just knew some of the devs had to be based, having named themselves Team Hyperborea!

But for real though, this fucking sucks and is so gay. Why did the mod have to fucking implode over this? This is a bunch of edgy nothingburgers that only serves to endear me to the devs more. Maybe they could continue their work elsewhere?


e: They have an even gayer Google Doc (a). Have attached local archive.

HOW SCANDALOUS, THE PROJECT LEAD SAYS EVIL NAUGHTY WORD?!


He also... doesn't support terrorists. SCANDALOUS!!! Very important for the exposed doc.


And he ISN'T a pedophile.

More detailed write-up:
⚠ WARNING: RETARDED MODDING DRAMA AHEAD ⚠

Anyways, I've been following Infinite Finality and lurking on their gooncord for awhile because it was one of the few mods out there that was attempting to tackle the Episode 3 concept. IF was going to make EP3 as close to what Valve intended as they possibly could, even including the Epistle 3 script despite Laidlaw's hatred for it. Things were good, for a time, a Demo did come out around end of 2024. I myself was not personally impressed but there was always room to grow.

I'll skip the mundane crap and get to today. About a day ago, an article was posted to Infinite Finality's ModDB page, in this article, the writer, Bluu, posted evidence from 'cord that most of the members on Team Hyperborea (the team behind the mod) had some interesting things to say about certain people groups. In the article, there is also a link to a google doc that exposes the actions of the team: the doc in question

That brings me to the primary Person of Interest for this whole debacle:
Bluu

ModDB
YouTube

This is the whistleblower, supposedly a 16 year old "he/they", Bluu was the one to upload the article. From what I can gather, Bluu hijacked the ModDB page for Team Hyperborea and the ModDB page for IF, and closed the 'cord so he could upload his thoughts.


So it seems that this is a case of one developer having a spat with the team and taking matters into his own hands.

Currently, this probably leaves Half-Life Interlude as the only one in the EP3 race. Because IF is now most likely dead or under new management (not in a good way) Interlude will see an uptick in popularity.

Personal thoughts
I try to be unbiased in providing info, so I'm leaving my personal thoughts here. This is a gay and retarded situation through and through. Personally, I think Interlude was going to be the better mod anyways, but no mod deserves a fate like this. This is a case of a (likely) American teen with too much time on his hands and an a hatred for "duh bigets and transphobes!!" not understanding that stereotypes exist for a reason and Euros are just naturally racist.

This, THIS kind of stuff right here proves that:
A. Modding is ALWAYS better when done with IRL close friends, or even better, ALONE.
B. Euros are the last bastion for good modders minus exceptions
C. Children should NEVER EVER be on your mod team.
D. NEVER ADVERTISE YOUR MOD OR HAVE A DISCORD FOR IT

I'm curious to see how the situation develops.

Gaming is coming back, fellas.

The Best response, just ignore this retards and call them faggots. They should just ignore this and keep working

Imagine giving this retard admin perms on all your shit, well at least its a learning experience.

This didn't tip anyone off lol?

Looks like the mod is in good hands to me.

 

[Creative Username]

and it looks like they probably will

It's wild that what's considered based is just the most normal ass dude from 10 years ago.

What is sad though is that this is the exact kind of dude who should be making games and yet they get their shit fucked for I guess not being a gay terrorist pedophile? Shame.

In fairness, the original name of the Borealis Ship was the Hyperborea, which is almost certainly the intended reference given the mod's subjectmatter.

given the genderfluid garbage hopefully he'll kill himself soon enough

Interesting how this kid is claiming the mod is over and a bunch of people are sad about it... without any proof from the actual developers that it actually is over in any way.

These comments on the page seem to be the average reaction of the public:
