On Friday, Call of Duty's official update account, @CODUpdates, announced the team's most recent account ban wave, aimed at players using hacks, cheats, and exploits that undermine...
Call of Duty bans more than 14,000 cheaters in 24 hours::undefined
In the words of a friend who used to cheat (and now regrets it), it felt nice to actually be able to win at something when life tends to hand you so many losses.
A lot of shitty things done by shitty people seems to stem from people feeling shitty about themselves 🙁
Can't get a job, can't get laid, can't find a friend breeds resentment but instead of bettering themselves they want to make other people feel shitty too.
As a semi edge lord in my teen years I remember that feeling. And I remember how "good" it felt to watch FOX News because they were the one place that told me that everything shitty in the world was someone else's fault, not mine.
It takes self reflection and growing up to get out of that shitty mindset that a lot of people don't seem capable of doing 😕
I did that a couple of times, but it was more like "I don't want to grind all of this stuff, I want to skip to the fun part". Also, it's morally different because it impacts nobody else.
Oh yes, I did it. But back at the time you had to wait months to finally have the cheatcode published on some magazine. And you just cheat on yourself, not other players.
As someone who is ashamed to admit that I used to hack in StarCraft: Brood War when I was 12, this is the answer. It's fun.
Also I was absolute garbage at the game no matter how much I played, so I was trying to level the playing field a bit. Still got my ass handed to me over and over. Hacks can't replace skill.
I hacked Zelda to because I'm not great at games but enjoy the story and I can progress the game at a reasonable pace without being overly frustrated. Also it doesn't affect anyone else so it makes it ok.
Single-player games are a whole different thing.
People should be able to play single-player in whatever way they prefer as it doesn't impact anybody but themselves.
Some games even come with "story-mode" difficulties and such for people just looking to enjoy the story and not looking for a challenge and that's fine. Games used to come with cheat codes for the same purpose (well, for testing purposes initially but eventually for "play it whatever way you want").
Indeed it is, no one has to listen to the salty chuds at Nintendo, just make sure you're blocking Nintendo domains on Atmosphere's hosts file.
Else they'll put you in gay baby jail.
I made like 20 of my own amibos and used them with fast forwarding time on my switch to enjoy botw. I'm just shit at games and it made for a more fun experience.
