Helldivers 2 main loader is Arsenal.
NexusMods staff have joined the Helldivers 2 modding community on a Discord server that is discussing flagging non-NexusMods and making Arsenal reject anything that doesn’t include a NexusMods link.
They want other sites to be blocked. They don’t even play the game.
This isn't safe. That is a monopoly on the loader.

TLDR: The cancel mob thinks they've won.
Earlier this year, I got a phone call from legendary Halo composer Marty O'Donnell to ask me if I thought I could get ahold of some old school Xboxes. Like... A LOT of them. Not knowing if I could, I went ahead and said yes.
Since then, we've been planning an epic Halo LAN party.
Couches? Dukes? OG Xboxes? Yes.
A guest list that includes OG Bungie Halo developers? Yes!
Mountain Dew Game Fuel? No. Apparently they don't make that any more.
We secured an amazing venue and had a great plan. The venue staff were all in and understood the vision. They geeked out on the call and asked Marty fan questions.
...until something changed very suddenly.
Somebody got in touch with the venue and they backed out on us over political affiliation and the fact that Marty is running for U.S. Congress in Nevada's 3rd district.
I've got to say, that story sounds a little too familiar to me. All we want to do is play games the way they are intended to be played and celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest games ever made on as close to original hardware as possible.
Look, I can't even vote for Marty. (I would if I could). I don't even live in his district. But I know that when this event happens (wherever it happens) it is going to be legendary.
If you want to help us out, share this tweet and the link below. If you want to be a part of a Halo LAN Party that will be heroic... (no Legendary!) then enter your info at the link below.
Finish the Fight!

Matt Hansen, Art Director for the game Avowed, has been laid off from Obsidian
Matt was known for his fantasy of being replaced by black people since he thinks there are too many crusty white dudes in the industry and wishes to retire and live in the woods
He finally did it!

Britain now arrests more people for social media posts than China, Russia, and Turkey combined nearly matching the rest of the top 10 countries combined
Britain really leads the world on these thought crimes
Insane how the UK, which used to be a free country, turned out to be so totalitarian

EXCLUSIVE: I speak to an ex-games Community Manager about their PRIVATE backchannel discussion group on DISCORD and why so many Community Managers are so terrible.
"I was working as Community Manager in one of game studios"
*I have verified and confirmed this person's role and employment*
Up until they made it more public, Discord ran a private server for CM's who are also Discord Admins. In the privacy of this server, CM's would openly discuss and coordinate with each other. As you would expect, it was rampant with DEI:
This was an "Industry only discord that was operated by discord community staff and had multiple Community Managers from different parts of the world and different companies participating in discussions."
"From my interactions I can tell you that a lot of Community Staff for multiple different gaming studios lean heavily to be pro DEI."
When I asked why Community Managers seem rife with political DEI, I was told that the good CMs are all held hostage by a VERY VOCAL minority who terrorize all other CMs:
"Mostly because Vocal ones are all in for inclusivity and those that don't care about it are either:
A) Silenced by the vocal ones
B) Scared to say anything as they will have entire litany sent to your HR department.
C) Don't want to bother with Online arguments."
Silence is also not enough. If you are silent you are complicit and will be SMEARED in the industry as a bigot:
"That being said vocal ones like to use argument that you have to create inclusive community to include anyone so you HAVE to push for those goals otherwise you have only "active biggots"."
The Discord channel has since moved off of Discord into other private messaging, but the message is clear: As a community manager in games, you MUST spread DEI or you will be terrorized, excommunicated and CANCELED.
Game companies must stop this. They must let their employees operate safely, without fear, and to stop the insanity of attacking their own customers. it's killing their sales.

Nothing is as pretentious as people falling for this.
The OP posted a real Monet and called it AI to shine a light.
So many replies condemning this as “obvious AI slop.”
