Comment on Do you cheat in games?

playing Souls games has taught me failure is a part of the process, so I enjoy hitting that wall and overcoming it with the tools the game provides. I do still use cheats sometimes in case of a game bug, but largely I treat gaming as an escape, and that includes an escape from people cheating systems so having it all be fair is within that escapism fantasy lol

I’m a hobbyist designer too. Some failure is bullshit.
Solving a mystery and “failing” to find the clue sitting somewhere in a castle of 8 floors riddled with enemies is not a fun failure.
If those games feel fair, it’s because the designers made them fair.
