And I’d save scum in real life too, if I could!

    I’m just surprised some people care. If you want to play with rules for limited saving that go beyond what the game is programmed to do, good for you champ, but some people enjoy playing all of the systems for their maximum advantage, and even more simply do not care.

      Remember when Elden Ring came out and how mad the hardcore souls enthusiasts were when casual players (like myself) wished there was an easier mode? I couldn’t get past the first harder enemies and it just wasn’t fun because I’m awful at those kinds of games. Some people really hate when you don’t play for difficulty or the challenge. Personally I play games to get lost in a digital world not to prove I’m the best.

      I still haven’t beat even 1% of the game because I gave up on it and went back to games I’m better at. Like my 500th playthrough of Half Life 1 or Hell Divers 2 on medium haha.

    This is why xcom games have iron man mode. Save scumming is so much a known part of the game that it’s considered an extra challenge to play in a mode where you can’t save scum. I love xcom but I’ve never done iron man mode because there are some moments occasionally that are just serious bullshit and I don’t have the tolerance for it.

    Play the way thats fun to you. That’s the point of games.

    I play games with cheats so that I don’t have to struggle getting materials, or other annoying things that games do to pad out time. I play games within a small time frame, therefore, I do not want to spend the little bit of time I do have doing mind-numbingly boring shit, and get back to having actual fun. :)

      Additional off my chest:

      I’ve never intentionally watched an episode of Rick & Morty, and I never will.

        So, I know the fans can be obnoxious, I get that, but just hear me out.

        Like you, I wasn’t interested in watching it, then somebody posted this clip on Reddit. I watched it and thought, damn, I gotta check this out.

        Im like 4 seasons behind, and I’m in no rush to get caught up, but maybe someday if I’m bored. If you have some personal vendetta or point to prove, then nevermind my comments, but if the popularity just turned you off, it’s not all bad.

          I appreciate your assessment and it seems fair. However, there’s something about the writing and characters that I really don’t like and can’t get into.

            I watched for a while, but dropped it as I liked everything about the show except Rick and Morty. The way those to talk is just annoying between the burps and the whining.

            So yeah, I can relate to not getting into it.

              The burps and whining mere diminished once Justin Roiland got kicked from the team for calling underaged girls in Morty’s voice.

              It is a lot more tolerable in the last season.

    Cheats are enabled on my personal Minecraft server because it’s Minecraft and the only one being cheated on is the player’s feeling of accomplishment

    I have definitely cheated into spectator when I fell in a 1 block wide hole with 5 villagers I wanted alive.

    My siblings hates tedium and cheats a lot of it away.

    Ain’t no competition.

    I did it in BG3 after telling myself I wouldn’t.

    But annoyingly, I’d walk into a room of enemies that I didn’t know were there and just get absolutely shredded, where the whole party would die.

    Or I’d fail a check 4 times and feel like an entire quest line got closed off or that I couldn’t finish a quest because the fight was too difficult. Kind of annoying.
