1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process.
I remember burning out on games because the cheats made them really fun in the short term, but afterward playing normally felt like agony.
Me and Dk 64 but that game had so many little secrets that I got annoyed with trying to find them all. π
I hereby retroactively grant you a permission for committing the following action:
I commend you for your engangement in achieving the best possible result in the process of donkeying the kong.
Im playing a bunch of soulslikes for the first time now. You gotta exhaust everything you can think of, then check a walkthrough just for the hint youre missing.
The process is the fun part. Looking it up is just a way to minimize frustration because you can't find the goddamn ladder.
In other words im with you
I dunno, I feel like I wouldn't use a walkthrough on souls like games until the second play through. Part of the fun is the discovery, and its fine if you miss shit the first time.
I just mean when youre banging your head against the wall and need a hint where to go. I do this less and less now though, I've still only beaten one of them.
I agree and don't typically worry so much about getting 100% in games, if i miss something that's on me and fine.
I have to force myself to not fall into the trap of trying to play a "perfect" game and instead to just let happen, what happens. Blundering through content and accepting temporary setbacks is more fun than following guides or save scumming.
But it also depends on game design:
With bg3 I missed a one of a kind item in act 1, a staple dnd item (ring of protection) that I was locked out off because I did quests in the "wrong" order. that gave me some anxiety, after which I started checking the wiki page before starting a new zone, which eventually sucked the fun out of the game, after which I abandoned my first playthrough.
And then I found a mod that randomizes all loot, so I can just let happen again what happens, without that anxiety of losing access to unique loot because of game design.
BRO this is literally normal life now. No one wants to figure anything out. Its why I hate llms. Breeds laziness like never before
If you want to speedrun Idiocracy, an overreliance on AI seems a good way to get there.
