Post by: Sockmit2007 on February 28, 2023, 06:52:42 pm: I am curious why they exist and if people use them.

I... don't think that answers the question. What is the standard you are talking about?

And I guess anyone who doesn't like the variety is already just modding it out themselves.

The OP would have to answer that, I guess. It's not for me to know. Up until this point, they're just letting us guess.
