    I feel like you've misunderstood my point here. I'm not talking about whether the specific unspecified mod you were using was "balanced" or "unbalanced." I'm saying that the basic idea of caring about "balance" in any context other than competitive PvP is very bad, and in fact the same type of very bad that "git gud" is.

        I'm not very familiar with the Terraria modding scene in particular, but based on my experience from other games, the absurdly unenjoyably difficult mods are the most likely to have devs who talk about the importance of "balance" a lot.

            Yeah, I just went and had a look at the terraria community forums thread for calamity mod and found all the classic hallmarks of a hardcore git gud mod author.

            The big one is bundling vanilla "balance" changes into a new content mod.

            And of course anybody in the thread who complains gets shouted down.
