  "account": "Benjamin Burnley, the frontman of rock band Breaking Benjamin, temporarily halted his performance during a concert in Holmdel, New Jersey, to address a feud he was having with another Fallout 4 modder. Burnley, who revealed on Sunday, September 6, that he is an amateur modder for Skyrim and Fallout 4, had been involved in a dispute with a fellow modder over a mod he had created for Fallout 4. This mod allowed players to play the game in first-person, which Burnley believed was a solid idea. However, the other modder did not share this enthusiasm. Burnley's rant, captured on video and posted to Reddit by user 'im_all_ears,' expressed his frustration with the other modder's bullying and negative comments. He urged the audience to download his 'True First Person Mod' from Nexus Mods and promised to update it further. Despite some fans urging him to continue playing music, Burnley dedicated nearly five minutes of his performance to this intense debate. The incident has since become viral on social media, with reactions ranging from amazement to amusement.",
