Not normally. Only if i'm testing how far i can break the game.

I attempted to access 8F in pokemon red in order to write arbitrary data and code my own cheats into the game.

However i wiped my save so i'm only gonna stick to less-game breaking glitches. Like the mew glitch.

I don't use cheats in online multiplayer games but in solo-player games i enjoy fucking with the game, mostly in free-roam sandbox games like gta and simpsons hit 'n run.

We need more games with physics-breaking cheats. Shit's fun as fuck.

I feel it's perfectly justified to cheat when you've lost progress or if the game is in early development and bugged as a result.

Subnautica for me recently. Fucking quartz never respawning is horseshit, and I've already lost a save 5 times because of updates.

Fuck that. It's never acceptable to cheat, whether singleplayer or multiplayer. Games should be played the way they were designed, without resorting to savescumming or cheating. Don't like it? Don't fucking play it. There's a reason Nintendo exists.

SA isn't hard. Whenever you die, just grab a handgun and go conquer some rival gang territory to get better guns. Once you get an AK with a nice amount of ammo, and pick up an armor drop during a gang war, then you're set to go through the story.
