Safe sates absolutely are cheating.
And using them is not actually beating the game.
You got to see the while game not beat the whole game.

You are entitled to your opinion of thinking you actually beat the game.
But i am also entitled to the opinion of thinking you are a misguided normie casual who thinks its a normal way to play a game.

I can guaranties you the same nomries who think betting Darksouls is an achievement would get but-hurt if yup told them you also beat the game using cheats or save-states on emulator.

>>716345458
Its cheating if you reload a save every single time you die or get hit.
Which is how most people use save states.
If you only use them to pause the game then its not cheating.
But we all know you probably just reload a save state every time a boss touches you in mega-man.

>>716345708
>But we all know you probably just reload a save state every time a boss touches you in mega-man.

When i was a kid most kids would just use the cheat code in the genesis Aladin game to skip levels and then feel a sense of accomplishment they got to see the ending.
During one of my birthday parties i had 5 kids in a row just skip all the levels using the cheat code and yell at me for hogging the game becouse i actually wanted to play the levels.

You underestimate how retarded people can be. And i know we ware kids but people mature much slower and remain immature for longer nowadays.

It all comes down to this: You desire equal respect for less skill and/or less effort. And that's just not a realistic expectation. The fact that you're so angry about it, just goes to show how you crave the validation. People who really don't care about other people's opinions would shrug off the accusation that they didn't truly beat the game, or agree with it. But the fact that the accusation gets under your skin, and you fight against it, goes to show that you desperately want the validation. But you can't have it, because you didn't accomplish what others accomplished.

ok? But you still highlight the adult league as being at fault for losing your love of bowling. According to you, the adults didn't do enough to accommodate your retarded teammate, so it's their fault you don't love bowling anymore. You drew the wrong conclusion from your experience. No self reflection at all. Since you were tweens, it was probably the fault of your collective parents for burdening you with the retarded kid. So I'm not saying you specifically are to blame. But between your whole group of friends and parents, you all collectively enabled the retard. So you can't really fault the bowling ally for not making special rules for the retard during league games.

Do YOU know how English works. At that point in the story, you introduced multiple subjects. So "them" could have meant any of them. Using context clues, them was most likely referring to adult league. Since the adult league was the last subject you mentioned before saying "them". And because you were putting most of the negative connotations on the adult league just prior to saying the final conclusive negative outcome. And due to the fact that you said you loved bowling before you *met* them. Seeing as how you team consisted of your friends and one of your friend's retarded brother, it's reasonable to assume that you already met well before bowling. And loved bowling together, which is why you started the team. And then you "met" the adult team only recently through bowling. The change from recreational bowling to the more structured league bowling being the turning point.

All these things point to the adult league as the bad guys in your story. If you wanted to be more clear, then think back to your writing lessons in your 4th grade English lesson: In order to keep the story coherent, you have to reuse the proper nouns or descriptors or characters in your story. Which you failed to do.

>>716354543
Just admit that "them" was not not clear. All the personal attacks just make you look petty and overly defensive.

BTW, despite the fact that "them" could have referred to the retard and that friend group, it still doesn't change the fact, that blame was spread to the bowling alley. As you still expected them to accommodate your retarded friend.

>>716355371
I mean, caring about what other people think of how you play the game is kind of gay but. This is part of socialization, videogames inherently have a competitive aspect to them, is normal for people to try rank themselves in terms of skill of said game. If the game lacks a ranking system or a difficulty option... The community will make it up, certain build can be considered ''easy mode''. Maybe it can be proven to be easier. But if you had fun anon that's all that matters

One of my favourite memories from elden ring was being a sunbro and helping people out with consort radahn with the fingerprint shield bunker-bitch build (he doesn't deserve anything more desu), where the biggest obstacle is the silly host being too agressive and not letting you tank him through (also Miquella's hug is the best thing you could get, since it allows the host and another summon to heal and prep while you'll just quickly use the rune before coming back). As a person who beat every souls game and boss fair and square without cheese builds I hate that the genre was taken over by blowhards who'd like if most of the bosses were turned into memorization-game killing machines, act like the summoning system is poisonous and people are subhumans for not wanting to deal with badly designed bosses like Malenia or Radahn. I also noticed that women are more likely to summon (but still playing quite well) while men vent, cope and try to bruteforce it ot learn the moveset for 5 days before beating them and acting like they finally got through a very painful diarrhea.

Reminder that all people seething about you beating solo games without wasting your time with grind or unbalanced sequences are people who got filtered by online games and barely touched any in their life. They couldn't even be bronze rank on the shittiest of competitive game possible and sweat to dehydration at the mere thought of facing another person when playing a game. This advanced form of seething amounted to a niche of community of autists who only pride themselves in being "hardcore gamers" by beating solo games (easy games) with made up rules and circlejerk among themselves.
The next time someone tells you "you didn't beat the game" remind them about the fact they would shit themselves if they ever had to launch a fighting game or first person shooter.

>>716366336
That's exactly the level of IQ debate around not using certain builds are, one retarded argument can only be answered by another retarded one.
Matter of fact is those people DID beat the game if you want it or not, no matter the process.
Also a PVP player IS factually better at games than a PVE player, I've yet to see a single real counter argument to this.

>>716366639
its weird then that these pvp gamer GODS (according to you) need crutches to beat boss fights that lowborn pve PEASANTS (according to you) can beat easily. a mystery it is

>>716366846
>need crutches to beat boss fights
Using the tools the devs gave you to win the game will never be "crutches", if it's in the game and you can use it then you deserve to win. Cheating by using godmodes and modifying game's code do not fall in this category, this isn't what I'm talking about.
Save states are in a different conversation, most often they're used to fix objective bad game designs from devs which plagued most retro games.
In games like FE where you can lose a character by a roll of dice, pure RNG that is completely out of your control save states are completely justifiable if they're used to avoid wasting time. What is the difference between turning off the game and relaunching at last save and using a save state to the beginning of the quest? Only a couple of minutes, nothing else.
A game like Darkest Dungeon is unarguably harder than any FE while also relying heavily on RNG but would never require you to use save states by virtue of having good game design which doesn't remove you from experiencing a major part of the game's narrative like losing a character in FE does.
