          @_the__Goat_ @C_Stad26 @TamashiiHiroka That's a false equivalence imo. It's hard to find something that's the same when talkin about savestates. Think of savestates as easy mode in a game. Saying I beat doom, and then saying yeah I did it on the lowest difficulty, doesn't mean you didnt beat doom. It means you did 1/?

        @_the__Goat_ @C_Stad26 @TamashiiHiroka What difficulty level you could handle. Not everyone is capable of the same exact thing, and a game like battletoads doesn't have difficulty settings and is insanely difficult in a frustrating way. I love dumb hard NES games like that 2/?

      @_the__Goat_ @C_Stad26 @TamashiiHiroka But I'd never be able to have beaten a game like Contra, a favorite of mine, without cheats/savestates at first. Often things like that are a stepping stone to the harder difficulties. I can beat contra on repeat without the 30 lives code, but without it I wouldn't have gotten

    @_the__Goat_ @C_Stad26 @TamashiiHiroka To the point where I was good enough without it. Here is how you properly talk to someone when they play a single player game the easy way: Hey I beat contra! Wow congrats! Them: I used savestates tho, it's so hard. You: That's cool anyway! It's tough no matter what!

      @_the__Goat_ @C_Stad26 @TamashiiHiroka Oh also, savestates are basically officially supported now thanks to nintendo VC, so it's really not even invalidating anymore anyway. Which is a good thing.
