My two cents is just that my mods are tiny things to make me happy, and once you learn the game, I don’t think any level of texture modding will actually give you a significant advantage.

My list includes things like resolution mods, a trans bandana, the love box from Peace Walker, and my username on the life bar. All of those things bring me joy more than anything, not intended for any sort of advantage.

An unforeseen consequence of this change is I had problems even finding this page for a moment, because all the links in search engines to the leaderboards are broken for now. While this will get fixed with time, it’s making it harder to find at a time when the attention on this game is the highest it’s going to be, probably forever.
