fix:

Forge is a nightmare... a total disaster... a train wreck of epic proportions! It’s a flaming dumpster fire, a colossal waste of time, a black hole of frustration that sucks the joy out of modding! It’s a labyrinth of headaches, an infuriating tangle of version mismatches, dependency hell, and cryptic crash logs that make you want to scream. Forge is a never-ending loop of agony, a soul-crushing experience, a glitch-ridden catastrophe that tests the very limits of your patience! It’s the bane of every modder’s existence, a relentless onslaught of problems that make you question why you ever thought modding could be fun in the first place!
