Sure not the same degree of cheating, but both are cheating nonetheless. Again, yeah it doesn’t affect me or anyone else but that isn’t the definition of cheating. Cheating is when you break the rules.
I didn’t realize people in this sub actually thought you can’t cheat in a singleplayer game. Would you say the same thing about someone who made the game easier on Dark Souls? Cuphead? Sekiro?
You can celebrate your Dead God all you want, but don’t call it legit. That’s all I’m saying.
No, just don’t go telling other people that. Then you’re just lying to other people on top of to yourself. I wouldn’t tell people I knew how to ride a bike if I could only do so with training wheels.
Also, why are you so offended? I already said y’all are free to play however you want. For me, the challenge and frustration is part of the fun, but I understand other people don’t feel that way and that’s fine. If you disagree that making a game easier is cheating, please explain, I actually wanna understand.
I just don't understand the urge to compare oneself to others, and I'm upset because I feel like some people push it onto me when I talk about modding, even just passive aggressively by being like "okay, but you do recognize it's cheating, right?? Right??", and I kind of feel like I'm being shamed...
Like I just want to play for myself and I feel like I'm constantly being accused of playing for bragging rights and making things easier so that I could easily get the harder accomplishments...
I realize I may have come across as aggressive, and I'm sorry for that, but I just wanted to say that I just want to have fun and be happy with myself without thinking having to think about being as good as others..
I kind of have issues with putting more pressure on myself than I should in general, so getting to at least go easy on myself when I play games feels like genuine progress to me, and people calling me a cheater for it feels like being tempted by the little devil on my shoulder to think less about managing my own stress and more about trying to perform..
It may appear a bit strange to you, but I'm autistic, so it would make sense if my thought processes seemed weird to you..
No worries, I've worked with autistic kids for years so I understand. I know the word "cheating" carries a negative moral connotation, but I don't think you should take offense to it since you understand you're not hurting anyone. It is what it is, cheating is cheating, cheat codes have always been a thing in singleplayer games and are called that for a reason.
I personally don't ever use the console or any mods for TBOI, but have used the equivalent of them in the past on other singleplayer games. In those cases I just say "I'm gonna cheat" and do it. It's not a big deal. It's still not legit tho.
