Are you annoyed by the intro videos which you have to skip each time you want to play? Do you not want to hear the same stuff over and over again each time you die on death march difficulty? Are your hands hurting from mashing that space bar?

Then this is the mod for you!!

It disables all of the intro and storybook videos so that you dont have to spam a button on each loading screen, and it even decreases loading times! (storybook are the videos during loading screens, where grandpa dandelion talks about what you probably did 5 minutes ago)

There are 3 versions: both disabled, only intro disabled, only storybook disabled.

IT DOES NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER CUTSCENES OR VIDEOS!

v1. 0 - release v1. 1 - changed readme v1. 2 - added easy installation, but large file size v2. 0 - added easier installation, but with smaller file size v2. 1 - reduced download size v2. 2 - fixed typo in file extension/made readme better/removed nmm button
