  • Depends on the game and what you define as “cheating”

    For me, if I’m trying to play a game and a glitch happens where it makes me lose progress, I’ll “cheat” to get back that progress. Like in Minecraft, I usually play nodded Minecraft. That has more glitches in it and you can easily lose hours of progress from things like that.

    I’m not made of time. If I lose or get fucked over by glitches, I don’t consider getting back to where I was cheating. Maybe it is but I don’t care. I play games to have fun, not to do a second job.

    And to that point, I really like it when games give you an accessibility setting of some kind where it makes it harder to die or makes the game easier outside of an easy mode. I sometimes use those too. In Hades, I’ve been struggling a ton and turning on god mode has made it more fun for me.

    Not really cheating but my point is if you make the game easier to have fun or make it more accessible, I don’t really think it matters.









  • IMO, trade schools are where its at rn if you want a decent education in something. Usually a two year program so lower cost, better value cause you get trained in something that AI or robots won’t replace any time soon, and you can actually make a decent wage so you won’t be buried in debt afterwards.

    Other than that, I learn a ton just doing shit I like. Music production, repairs, 3d printing, all my hobbies are skills I can use in other areas of my life. Doesn’t have to be that way for you, but learning to fix some things is a valuable skill that you can learn from YouTube or the internet in general.

    Libraries are a great resource as well of course. Lot of value in books that aren’t tainted with AI slop. Sometimes harder to find what you are looking for, but it helps you slow down and learn more if you read it, at least for me.
