ha, definitely got into it for similar reasons!

And then came modding etc. Sadly, it seems like modding is dying, at least for the few modern games I'm interested in. (So really kudos to minecraft for teaching a new generation about mods and programming along the way, my nephew is going through that phase).

Still plenty of games out there to mod for, but you generally have to look for indie titles.

It depends on what kind of games you like, but in the past few years ones that I've enjoyed that have great mods are: Rimworld, Slay the Spire, and Factorio.

A good way to find games that have mods is to look at the "Steam workshop" page on a steam game listing. Here's the listing sorted by games that have a "Steam workshop" (which is kind of steam's interface for managing mods): https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=30
