Yes! Agreed! Lame.

Yeah, that was my argument. Like, I know I will not get banned for it, but idk. I actually just messed around on pirate island with sniper and I am clearly faster and a better shot with it on the monitor.

I almost went cross eyed looking at this thing when I turned it on

lamp cheating? Not familiar with that one.

[not loaded or deleted]

Somebody knows all the tricks

[not loaded or deleted]

I didn't say that it's okay

[not loaded or deleted]

I think that's how I convinced myself people don't do it. I've never noticed it while watching streamers.

[not loaded or deleted]

Yeahhh idk. It feels unfair to me.

[not loaded or deleted]

Oh, wow. She told me there was another game where a dev said it's okay. I think Rust? Which I found surprising bc I know the players there are pretty hardcore.

[not loaded or deleted]

Exactly! That's actually the term I used. And then she said it's not even a sport lol

[not loaded or deleted]

lol sorry I feel like an idiot and i keep getting downvoted so i guess i should have known

[not loaded or deleted]

Lol so until a few hours ago… 🙈

[not loaded or deleted]

haha yeah I agree. nothing you mentioned feels like cheating. But I've never been a running back so idk

[not loaded or deleted]

I can see why someone would disagree, but no sure if it's bad faith. If you feel that it makes someone a cheater it'd also make them a bad sport? Or are you saying that being a bad sport is more like being a sore loser?

[not loaded or deleted]

Ahhh gotchya

[not loaded or deleted]

hahaa reminds me of when I'd play Duck Hunt with the gun on the screen! Lol forgive me I am 40.

[not loaded or deleted]

Really? But doesn't the cannon not line up with crosshair?

[not loaded or deleted]

So we actually both play on PC, but I can see how it'd be the same advantage on a controller.

[not loaded or deleted]

Yes, I was thinking the ones that come on the monitor. TBH I didn't know mine does until last night.

[not loaded or deleted]

Yeah, but isn't there a way to detect those things? I thought that's why people use the monitor? I gotta admit, it feels like cheating to me, but that's probably because I had no idea.

[not loaded or deleted]

I would think the monitor overlay would appear on the stream, no? Not something physically on screen. But I could be wrong.

[not loaded or deleted]

That's what I was thinking when I had hardware advantage in mind. Not a damn dot on the screen!
