God bless you

Not sad, no, but I appreciate your concern for my wellbeing

Not really, no.

No. no it isn’t.

If the mods are giving you an advantage over people who don’t have them, then yes, that’s pretty much what cheating is in the context of games.

First it’s just games, now it’s singleplayer games, are you sticking with it this time, or are you gonna move the goalpost some more? I never said or implied that this was hurting anyone, and I certainly never got into the purpose of playing games. All I did was state a fact along with my opinion on it, and everyone…

Silly question, I AM the robot that was created for that express purpose.

It doesn’t affect me, how do my posts affect you? I was just calling it what it is along with stating my opinion, nothing more, nothing less

You can spin it however you want, my point is that he cheated. At something you’ve written off as something so trivial, he found it necessary to cheat. The means were never the issue I had with this, I’ve said over and over that the robot itself is cool, but there’s no getting around the cheating bit.

You realize that you’re pretty much stating my point back to me, right? I neither said nor implied anywhere that they shouldn’t feel proud of what they’ve made, but the greatness they’ve achieved through those different means, while related in a way to the game accomplishment, is, well, different.

In this specific situation it is indeed an absolute that he cheated, your loaded question encompasses many undefined scenarios, a lot of which are probably covered in grey areas.

Yes I have, and honestly I wouldn’t blame you for doing it through external means since you had already done it before, this guy just said nope, can’t do it, and went the robot route instead. I personally don’t find it to be all that difficult, but I understand that everyone’s skills vary greatly in different areas. I…

Well that would depend greatly on what those add-ons and plug-ins do, now wouldn’t it?

Well with all due respect, you’re wrong, and assuming things just leads to pointless misunderstandings. What I’m saying is that he cheated, plain and simple, robot or hacking, it’s still cheating to avoid completing the challenge the way that’s intended of the player. As I also said, the robot is cool, but his reason…

The video descriptions in order:

So cheating in games is justified as long as I’m having fun, got it.

I couldn’t care less about what it’s for, though it isn’t just a trophy that you get for doing it, not sure why you think that’s what I was getting at.

That’s not bad game design, bad game design would be if you had to do it to progress through the game, this is completely optional. The challenge is what it is, that doesn’t change, just because something is tedious doesn’t justify cheating to bypass it.

Maybe they would, IF this were star fleet, but what if scenarios are useless, and your simple fact, while also true and never once denied in any way by me, does not overwrite mine.

That’s all well and good, but the simple fact is, he cheated. He is not the one who completed the challenge, the robot is.
