    No, the game is basically a MMORPG, so even though the players aren’t against each other, cheaters would ruin the fun for everyone.

      The fuck it is. There’s no economy, simultaneous instancing, raids, rarity of weapons/armor/items/mounts, and the “DM” makes completely arbitrary game-wide decisions. Hell, there’s barely even a “levelling” system. You high? 🤪

      edit: not only is the "anti-cheat stupid simple to bypass, should you want to, the real concern should be that it’s a kernel-level invasion of privacy for no fucking reason… but who cares, right? 😅😶

        I agree with the statement about anti cheat software being cancer, but a multi-player game ridden with cheaters is usually a very bad experience as well.

        About the other stuff… Not really.

        I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I don’t like it when people accuse someone of an altered state of consciousness just for disagreeing with them. Statistically it gets used more often on neurodivergent people, because neurodivergence is an altered state if consciousness. Neurotypicals will see that autistic people think differently, and then accuse them of drug use not realising it’s actually autism. While this is done with innocent intentions, the statistical sum total result is that autistic people get accused of being high more often than neurotypicals. It terminates the discussion, and if autistic people get treated like that at all times, then they’re treated as not of sound mind at all times. I don’t have a problem with drugs at all, but the thing is a stoner has the option of sobering up and being treated like an adult again. While an ND person just gets infantilised at all times for existing, because their genuine experiences are dismissed by NTs as drug addled nonsense. So I think we as a society should just stop accusing strangers on the internet who disagree with us of being high. It’s not clever and it’s not funny, anyway.
