I will continue to maintain that my issue with CEO is that he never apologized for putting Malicious Software...

 

"Malicious Software"? Seriously?

 

He put a block in his mod for OStim along with a message. != "Malicious Software".

It's nice to know that OSex did take NO DIRECTION. He just came back, made sure that no one needs his mod anymore and left. 
Bruh. (That is your words on the screenshot) 

 

You have it backward.

 

CE0 came back. The OStim discord bros, who completely rode his work and made dependent mods treated him like shit with NO provocation. They chose to be in conflict with the author of a mod they liked so much they chose to build off of it. The level of short-sightedness and entitlement of that is impressive.

 

Nobody knows for sure why CE0 eventually left again. But, it's hard to imagine that it's not connected to how the OStim bros acted. So, thanks a lot! Now nobody gets to benefit from the new work he was planning.

If he wanted to make sure everyone knows about the conflict he could have added a simple warning into OSex instead of blocking controls entirely.

 

Wha? What would the "warning" be if it otherwise didn't do anything?

 

The purpose was for his mod to no longer work with OStim. A perfectly reasonable goal given the way the OStim discord bros acted.

Friend, it's clear you're acting as some sort of lawyer defending CE0, it's no fun talking to you. You're twisting the facts like everyone else, stop pretending like you're above everyone else here.
From the words of "discord bros" (what are you, 12?), CE0 didn't mind them using OSex, HE WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE THEM PERMISSION IN THE FIRST PLACE. Then he shows up, once again saying it's fine and then BLATANTLY puts that malware saying that if you use OStim, you're a piece of trash and you can't be playing with my mod. 
OSex was dead without OStim and now that OStim is no longer, OSex is just back to being useless and not needed by anyone.

Well. Sorry that you aren't having fun. I'm having fun!

 

I'm defending CE0 because I witnessed the episode from both sides from the beginning and I got tired of seeing entitled brats mislead other people about what happened.

I'm sorry that the facts make you feel insecure. But, I don't see anyone contesting the merits of anything I have stated.

 

Nobody disputes that the OStim discord bros were immediately hostile to CE0 when he came back. Because anyone who was there in that server saw it. It's probably still there in the history unless someone erased it.

 

After that, none of your other points matter. When you act like an asshole, you get treated like one. End of story.

Yes. He INITIALLY did not mind that they wanted to use it. But, when they were outright dicks to him on the OStim server he changed his mind.

 

Funny how that works, right? Someone treats you poorly and you stop liking that group or wanting to work with them on anything.

I suppose you are using the term "Malware" in the loose sense. As in not even remotely malware by any reasonable stretch.

 

How fragile are you people that discovering an incompatible mod is on the same level as a computer-destroying virus that ruins your life. This all went down a long time ago now and you are still whining about having to adjust your mod order?

 

Don't like it? Instead of flailing for months, I recommend reflecting on your own behavior and maybe being nicer to mod authors that your mod ecosystem completely depends on.

OSex was not even remotely dead, even with CE0 gone for a long time. It has 18k endorsements and 2 million downloads. It's within the top 200 of all mods ranked on Nexus right now.

 

The only OStim related mod that even comes close to that level of success is the one that STILL relies on CE0's work.

 

OStim certainly wins the award for community with the most bros willing to stomp their feet for months and spread whiny propaganda and distortions about the guy who paved the way for their own efforts. It's a... unique position to take a stand on. I'll give you that.

 

But, don't think that you're really fooling that many people.

[ninjagaidenguy]

He decided to put "WHAT IS IN MY OPINION" is malware into the mod.

 

Blocking access to playing the game and Calling the user a thief is what I would call malware. Its malicious software that prevents you from playing the game

 

You ignored the "Expressive Finger Gestures of Skyrim"  CE0 was acting like a child for a large part of the whole ordeal just look at what he posted on November 20th 2021

 

The mod was taken down (Hidden by CE0) for a third party copywrite claim and said that 70% of the animations were not done by him after saying that everything in the mod was created by him so he is ether lying about having done it all or he was throwing a fit.

 

You are free to try to defend him but IMO his own actions in this are more damning anything any "Discord Bro" did.

In some people's opinion, Big Foot is real. That doesn't make it so.

 

Calling it "malware" because a mod author made his mod not work with another mod is laughable. Nobody in the history of malware production has caused a problem that was as easy to fix as CE0's "doomsday" mod.

To spell it out plainly again:

• The OBros used CE0's work.
• When he came back, instead of being thankful and cooperative, they were disrespectful, dismissive and insulting.
• All this stuff you are complaining about now came AFTER the above.

In light of that, your argument boils down to: "He was even meaner to the OBros than they were to him first!"

 

Which is not a very persuasive position. Most people cheer when they hear about someone pushing back against needlessly disrespectful people/groups.

This is a public space. As long as I don't call CE0 with clear bad words (which I never did) there's nothing wrong with that.
If you put something out in the internet, expect to get some criticism. If you aren't ready for that, you shouldn't be publishing anything. It's as simple as that.

It's not as simple as that though.

 

What you wrote was misleading. I don't know if that was intentional or if you yourself were misled about the incident. But, spreading misleading information about a person is just as bad as an insult.

 

Additionally, I think you exhibit the same kind of hubris that caused this entire story to begin with. While you can technically write whatever you want on the internet and you personally think everyone should just expect it, you seem completely shocked by the consequences of actions like yours when someone reacts negatively.

 

In other words, you feel entitled to enjoy peoples generosity while talking shit about them at the same time.

 

Just be aware that sometimes your free-wheeling internet criticism rights end up saying more about you than the person you are trying to criticize.

You're trying to present your version of the story as the only RIGHT story which is NEVER the case. The truth always lies somewhere in between.
I'm not defending OStim team or blaming only CE0. The only truth here is that all players lost probably the best sex system in the game due to hubris of one side, and lack of manners (according to your words) of other side.

Opinions are not the same thing as facts.

 

My explanation includes all of the facts such as the order of events and the reason why CE0 did those things. You presented a story that omitted those facts and made it sound like he just attacked OStim randomly for fun.

 

Everyone can have their own opinion about it. Of course. But, honestly, the only explanation I see for anyone holding onto the opinion you describe, given all of the actual facts, is that they have a stake in the issue (an OStim mod maker or fan of their ideas).

What are you a fan of? A bare sex system with animations that aren't immersed in the game in anyway? I can just go watch porn with the same results, lol. 

I won't be answering to you anymore, go watch Mern's video about this whole thing, I dunno. I'd rather trust him than some random CE0's advocate lol who "presents all his facts" by just saying that OStim team treated CE0 badly and they had to be punished. Yeah, right.

I saw the messages myself. That was all the proof I needed.

 

Besides, it's not like you would even have a leg to stand on without that:

 

"We got the rights to your work on a technicality and we're going to continue using it against your wishes! Nanner nanner!" is ethically indefensible. It reveals that you have no respect for the author that made the work and shared it with you for free. Not even just some random work that you could take or leave. But, the work that your own community of mods relies on and grew out of.

 

I'll write it again: You are so entitled that you take advantage of other peoples charity while talking shit about them.

And here you show your true colors.

 

You are obsessed with seeing a certain type of adult mod that gets you off. You don't give two shits who has to be stepped on to get there.

 

Your flailing here, just like the OBro flailing that happened when CE0 came back, is nothing but personal disappointment about a mod's progress.

 

Instead of being accountable for your actions and admitting this, you want to now dress up your frustrations as some kind of noble cause against a big meanie... Never mind that without the generosity of this big meanie you wouldn't have any OStim mods or community to begin with.

I've already watched Mern's video. I think people should only watch it if they want a good laugh. His argument is essentially that it is mysterious that CE0 took the actions that he did. It wasn't mysterious at all for anyone who followed the issue from the beginning: OStim bros threw a fit and were assholes to CE0 when he came back because they were worried that his new plans would disrupt their projects.

 

Fact. I witnessed this first hand.

And theeeere's the stimmie permavirginity, "muh immersion", because apparently your whole lot has to plug the lack of a healthy sexlife with all dem SmOoTh TrAnSiTiOnAl AnImAtIoNs.

 

Tell me, do the nobodies still advertise stimmie modules as "orignal work", do they still fail to mention it's all just a lazy, shoddy hamfisting attempt at making AS2 functions on Papyrus? How the bad copies of Defeat, Aroused and the likes are stripped of all the maintenance and diagnostics their superior SL versions come with out of the box? Cause, you know, Player Victim toggle actually isn't a hard bake to the save?

 

Oh, and does aceplebianes still advertise his animations as his work? The ones he traced from SL animations? Does he still act like he's hot shit, when without CEO's rig he'd be nothing but asking CEO for advice every 6 minutes?

Unfortunately, if uncontested, that behavior gets worse like a building storm. Just look at the OStim discord.

What are you asking me to provide proof of? My statement that you quoted is a second argument, not based on the discord bros earlier behavior.

 

Here it is, broken down for you:

1. CE0 made his work available for free. - True. Do you doubt this?
2. The OStim community made mods that require CE0's work. - True. Do you doubt this?
3. The OStim discord, to this day, is chock full of bros talking trash about CE0, while they continue to either rely directly on his work or are attempting to make a derivative of his idea. - True. Do you doubt this?

Here you are perpetuating another falsehood. The people who "turned their backs" were not CE0's friends and were simply mod authors/users that either have direct stakes in OStim (making money from it on patreon) or were fans of the features it added.

 

For example, Migal:

 

 

 

Does that sound like a friend to you?

 

And people there listened:

 

 

 

Gee, kind of sounds exactly like the attitude that I described to you, doesn't it?

I'm a troll? You are the one who came to CE0's thread to talk trash about him. I'm just letting you know that it's unwelcome behavior imo and am explaining why.

 

And no, I do not agree that the truth lies somewhere in between. And I do put the blame on OStim for CE0 leaving which affects people who respect him as a person and enjoy his work.

 

You can go to the OStim discord right now and peruse the comments to see what level of respect and sophistication lives there. And just in case you want to claim I'm lying, here's a sampling for you:

No, it's just that up to this point you didn't give any proofs aside from you being the witness of how things unfolded. Thanks for the screenshots. It was informative.

[CEO 0S]

Happy 4th and Summer,
My phone was blowing up with  action here, thanks for the support. I'll just lay out the issue but it's primarily a technical one, and points at my own naiveness for what these things can turn into.

 

This is a paradox that can happen with not keeping software All Rights Reserved which was exacerbated by Nexus mods new policy. I was not able to develop my mod without competing with myself (past and future work) indefinitely unless I was able to make an incompatible version. It was difficult, however, to make an incompatible version because Stim's community has personal ties to a Nexus Community manager called BigBizkit who would attempt to intimidate me daily if I made any changes to any of my mods (not just OSA, but absolute closed permission mods like OSex). If you research BigBizkit further you can find information from other moders claiming that he attempts to extort them through nexus, for his own projects and even income. As I see it the income people were making from OSex was attracting a number of sharks and they had a pretty strong bite into my projects.

 

The reason I needed incompatibility was that whatever work I did further would automatically be usable by Stim, since Stim wraps around OSA, and Stim's Developer stated he was going to be a competing "framework" with my project. This meant that without incompatibility everything I did going forward would become a permanent part of Stim to compete with me (Hence not allowing me to ever compete). I was urged further because the Stim community has been propagating for over a year a narrative discrediting my character and the quality of my work. This became apparent to me shortly after returning and I was very surprised to see it as I believe this project was always held to a high standard of community interaction. To not seek incompatibility would mean I have to work 18+ hour days for months just so other people, who were spending time slandering me instead of working, could get paid and take all the internet positive tangibles. 

 

I will reiterate this mod was made by me alone, it achieved great heights and I'm very proud of it. I'm saddened that the reputation of this work and the Ceo identity got pulled through the mud, however, I will not be arguing this further as we've done this loop 1000 times now. Thanks everyone, while few publicly would stand for me, I got lots of private support which meant a lot (and I needed it as this was an awful experience for me). While I do wish more would publicly stand I can understand not wanting to get in front of the freight train that the viral mob is and I know you got better things to be doing anyways with your time.

 

If there's anything to take from this: to all software developers, if you actually do code yourself and create things that you are proud of please just stamp All Rights Reserved on it, unless it's something that clearly should be open-source. Don't do any fancy perms and don't public your Gits. There are far more bad-faith actors out there than good ones and few will forward your work respectfully, I'm not the only mod author that has gone through this, and I'm sure this will just become more prevalent across many types of programming and creative work. Somebody warned me with a similar message in this very thread about 5 years ago and I ignored it to my detriment. As I see it now the people that champion the idea of open-source tend to not be creative but instead predators. In this case many have been lecturing me about open-source for half a year now and their open-source collectiveness apparently has yet to deliver a framework of their own to mirror my "incompetent, shody, trash work".

 

Best to Everyone, Happy Holiday, Freedom, and I hope you're having a great summer!

It's great to see you're okay CEO. Happy 4th of July to you too. Hope you have a fantastic one! ?
Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Hopefully the OStim drama won't rear its ugly head again, but I'm sure we haven't seen the last of it.

So he just came back, destroyed OStim and vanished again. 
Pardon me but this guy is just... I'd love to say who he is but I don't want to get banned.

 

You're right, but you can't have a productive discussion about a topic where one side is continually muzzled, banned, etc. It's pointless to try here. The bottom line is that the community had something good that was being regularly updated, and now it has abandonware that requires a full time squad of cheerleaders. Anyone who can look at that and see a "win" isn't sensible enough for conversation to be worth the attempt.
