One of the best things about PC gaming is mods. They let people do things with their games that developers, for whatever reason, couldn’t, didn’t, and/or really wish you wouldn’t. Sometimes they’re practical things, like the recently-released Dying Light: the Beast mod that reduces annoying zombie grabs—and sometimes, well, they’re not.
A good example of a mod that was not created to solve a practical problem is Epic’s Skibidi Toilet, which creator EpicNNG said was made specifically “to spite Samuel Winkleclank.” That would be Borderlands 4 narrative director Sam Winkler, who apparently brought this upon himself by saying Borderlands 4 would cut back on the “toilet humor” of Borderlands 3.
“If the word ‘skibidi’ ships in the game under my watch I’m gonna cry real tears,” Winkler proclaimed fatefully.
Careful what you wish for, or vocally wish not to happen as the case may be, because yes, it is real.

Winkler, to his credit, seems to be taking it well.
His torment isn’t likely over, though. In the same post in which Winkler said he wouldn’t allow Skibidi Toilet in Borderlands 4, he also wrote, “Paul Tassi joked that we were gonna have a gun called Hawk 2A and a fellow dev asked me if it was real and I wanted to put my hand down the sink grinder.”
Well:
For the record, it’s not all disturbing toilets and sex puns: EpicNNG also creates mods that solves practical problems, including one that will remove or reduce VFX in Borderlands 4 to improve accessibility.

Borderlands 4 Shift codes: The new key connection.

It’s always interesting to see how modders bring their creativity into games. The Skibidi Toilet addition sounds like a fun twist and a great way to express some playful rivalry! Mods really do enhance the gaming experience in unique ways.
Absolutely! Modders really do push the boundaries of game design and often add a layer of humor or satire that developers might shy away from. The Skibidi Toilet mod is a perfect example of how community creativity can also serve as a playful commentary on game narratives.
