It doesn’t matter if its single player or multiplayer, if you are competing against other people, cheating is not okay.

If you cheat to get a highscore on a leaderboard in a single player game, thats not cool. If you cheat a speedrun in a single player game, you lose all my respect. If you use cheats to beat near impossible challenges in single player games to get clout on social media, that’s despicable.

It’s not always ok to cheat in single player games.

The point of games is to have fun, so you should play the game in the way that is most fun for you. Whether that involves cheating or modding the game is up to your own preferences.

Cheating only becomes a problem in competitive contexts because at that point you are being dishonest and ruining the fun for others.

There are some cases where cheating is not okay in singleplayer games and some cases where it is okay in multiplayer games. It all circles back to whether everyone is having a good time.

Sounds like they had too many mana potions at the necropolis.

They say its all about distro hoppin baby
There so many options it is gettin crazy
I’m ferrin and carryin my files from SSD
Gonna need that when I reformat my PC

Its gettin hard in this economy
to find all the right parts at an honest fee
And the only option left that I can see
switching to an OS that will work for me

Ubuntu I adore ya
But this week is Fedora
Linux Mint got me through March
By the way I used Arch

Every day the list grows
an endless number of brand new distros
One thing every homie knows
we all hate on windows

You might be talking about the same thing.

If you are talking about how much time it takes to render an image, that is frame lag. It’s the hard limiting factor of frame rate. A computer can’t display images faster than it can draw them.

If you are talking about time between a change in the world state, and the display showing that change, that is latency. Latency is affected by a few factors including frame rate. A frame rate of 24 adds an average latency of 21ms, and a frame rate of 60 adds an average latency of 8ms. This is because as frames linger for longer, they become increasingly outdated from the actual world state.

Dang, I thought where place the new tile spawns was deterministic. May as well add an infinite re-roll button to the game if that is allowed.

Its way cheaper for them to buy the politicians, and these people will never miss an opportunity to optimize the number in their bank account. The system won’t change without some serious turbulence.

Theres a few differences between GTA and movies, but to focus on a big one, in GTA you have agency over your character. In a movie, its always a 3rd person perspective of somebody else breaking laws. In games, you are the one calling the shots.

I believe most people are rational enough to separate the fictional game world from reality, but by bringing reality closer to the game, I think it’s a valid concern that it will influence those who struggle with that to behave more like their avatar in the game.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea, it would be rather cool. but there is a bit of risk associated with it.

Edit: re-read the article and thought about it some more and I changed my mind. The risk I expressed is pretty negligible, and for the tourist impact it would probably be well worth it.
