Which I can totally get behind. It's one of the more frustrating parts

I don't tend to quit a game because of it (just because I make effort

result in a more snarky take in my end-of-month round-ups ;-)

Well, I just quit playing Oblivion Remastered. I am only level 2 and
I see no reason why I should already have a HARD rated lockpicking
puzzle trying to get out of the sewers. I had 30 lockpicks and there
are four tumblers. I get 2 out of the 4 and mess up one and have to
start all over again!
Goodbye!
Let's see. What should I play next....
Frustrating.

That's high on my list. It's fine if you do it occasionally but not so
much when you think am I actually playing the game or am I just
repeating what I saw in a YT video.

Do games generally have stupid hard puzzles these days? I've been
playing the 1997 Outlaws game and just puked through this whole puzzle *level*. Water canals, swimming, diving, choking, fiddling with gates to direct the water flow, loads of fun NOT. So I just followed a
walkthrough. Good thing is, as it's an old game the level is still
reasonably small.
Another puzzle that gave me trouble was the chess puzzle in the System
Shock Remake, mostly because I suck at chess. The other puzzles in there
were pretty easy although one time the lightning made it near impossible
to see the gauge you were supposed to set to some value.

"Doesn't respect your time." is how the kids say it.
I'm getting old, and if I'm not enjoying it because it's repetitive or a >chore, I might suffer through a bit, but my tolerance is way less than
it was when I was younger. Though that may be more there wasn't as many >games and my budget for them was nearly non-existent when I was younger.
Some things I don't mind though. Really hard bosses, based on my
original plays of DS3 and Bloodborne that's somewhere up in the 70
tries, at least if I can vary loadouts, tacics, etc. Over 100 (Midir)
is too much. I find my tolerance much lower in games where you don't
really have any choice, like just having a gun and weapon. That's one
reason I don't like the first bosses especially of any of the souls
games that you can't progress without defeating them. You haven't built
up any arsenal to try anything different, can't level up, etc.
Inventory management with lots of junk really grates on me now - BG3 is >horrible with this getting worse and worse to the point it was too much
in act 3. I fully intend to go back and play again if there's a
de-junkifier or inventory mod.
Nightreign somehow manages to be both boring and heartpounding at the
same time. The 45 minutes of leveling up and getting equipment every
time you attempt a boss with time pressure, but really the areas and
mobs are nearly the same every single time. Maybe I just don't like >roguelites like that any more, or maybe I never really did and just a
few really good ones overcame that.
Then of course there's the random or super rare drops in games like >Borderlands, Diablo, where you keep fighting the same mobs/bosses over
and over trying to get that perfect drop, or even just a good one. I've
had an assfull of that, and don't have the patience anymore.

Cheat Engine often has tables for any offline games, or you can set up invulnerability pretty easy. I mostly use Cheat Engine to speed up
games that have tedious parts or slow them down when they're too fast
paced for my old reflexes (but yet I'm somehow reasonably good at souls
games without any cheats. Oh yes, I did cheat past some very tedius
farming for materials in DS1 on my SL1 character, after I'd already
finished the game a couple times, and proved I could farm them, it was
just would have been many many hours of farming.)Â Also auto-pickup
armor & weapon boxes in EDF as it's too tedious to farm in hardest/
inferno otherwise, really it's too tedious in inferno even doing that.

That sounds great sometimes. Which game and cheat do I need? :-)
I'm sure you can look up which, I never used it, it seemed like it took
too much challenge out of games. I did briefly use wizard mode which
lets you save your game in Nethack, except it didn't help that much
other than with experimenting. I think sometimes the walking through
walls part is called wall-hack?
I'm pretty sure a lot of console ports have things like that. I think
at least some of the earlier Doom, and other FPS games did too
Bethesda has a lot of console commands you can use without even using
mods. Apparently tgm is the command in console to turn on god mode.
hit ~ to open the console. Then type: tgm<enter> and ~ again to exit
console mode.
I remember infinite ammo/no reloading is a popular cheat/mod in a lot of
FPSs as well.

The World of Tanks forum had more than its fair share of players who'd
scream cheat at the slightest thing. It didn't seem to matter how many
times it was pointed out that the pretty much all the calculations were
done server side. Was there a mod. that removed foliage, yes there was
but all the spotting calculations were done by the server so it doesn't really help.
The bigger one though was the game was rigged against them because they
had such uber tenk skillz.

Not necessarily. While I also think that lots of people use cheats too
much, there is a use for them if something is too difficult in the
game to complete. This happened that I needed to pass a helicopter
mission in GTA: Liberty City. My pal gave me a list of cheats and I
chose only one - slow motion. Even with that I completed the 7 minute
mission with only 2 seconds to spare.

I do remember how hard it was to fly a helicopter in GTA (that RC toy >>mission to carry bombs to a contruction site), especially with just a >>keyboard back then. Three axes of rotation plus height control?
Gah. Felt like my brain was trying to turn sideways.
Somehow I muddled through but also got a controller for the PC soon
after. When San Andreas came out there was no question any more, driving >>and flying with a controller, on foot mouse + keyboard was the only way
to go.
Gah indeed. Those RC-helicopter missions were attrociously bad. They
weren't much better on original console either. You have to wonder why >Rockstar made them that way; they couldn't have been unaware of how
poor the controls were (perhaps in "Vice City", but in "San Andreas"?
They were just being purposefuly nasty).
Having gamed almost my entire life with mouse/keyboard, I never
developed the neural connections that made gamepad us natural to me.
So I resisted even owning a gamepad for the longest time. But "San
Andreas" was, I'm pretty sure, the game that broke me (and those
stupid RC missions in specific). I hated that I had to resort to a
gamepad, but ultimately I plugged one in to get past those missions.

I'm surprised that modders haven't created a fan-made update patch for
the original Diablo 2; one that improves the visuals and adds various
QOL features to bring the 2000 game more in-line with modern
sensibilities. There's the official "Resurrected" re-release, of
course, but you're not alone in disliking its 'improvements'. You'd
think some of the more dissatisfied fans might have taken it into
their hands to 'do it right'. Heck, even the original Diablo got a fan >remaster of sorts (DevilutionX https://devilutionx.com/).
But maybe that's because ActiMicroBlizzard hasn't sold the game as a >stand-alone game for decades, instead only selling versions closely
tied to Battle.Net.
Maybe one day we'll get the "Diablo 2" equivalent of XVM.

I'd assume it works with the same character. It looks like that mod is
a bit old and may not work any more but you can find cheat engine tables
that at least would let you never take damage. Again you have to
disable the anti-cheat though.
Here's a cheat table for cheat engine that goes over the whole process
of how to get it working.

I am sure there are areas that I did not go to since the world is

forget how to play it! :-)
When I come back to a game I haven't played in awhile I always start the
game anew, at least until I remember how to play, then I can switch back
to an old character if I feel like it.

to an old character if I feel like it.

That sounds great sometimes. Which game and cheat do I need? :-)

I wonder if there is one for Elden Ring so I can finish the game. Or
maybe just to frollic around without worrying about dying :-)
Due to the anti-cheat you have to disable that first and play offline.
And of course, there's thousands of mods for ER.

Thanks! Should I try it? I will back up the one and only save game
file but are there other things to worry about that I might lose? Does
it work with my same character or do I start all over with a new one?
I'd assume it works with the same character. It looks like that mod is
a bit old and may not work any more but you can find cheat engine tables
that at least would let you never take damage. Again you have to
disable the anti-cheat though.
Here's a cheat table for cheat engine that goes over the whole process
of how to get it working.

Just thinking out loud J! :-)
I am sure there are areas that I did not go to since the world is
huge. I would love to mess around with it again. But, in reality, I
forget how to play it! :-)

XVM?
Sorry. "X-Wing Virtual Machine", a fan remake of the original game
that was discussed here a few weeks ago (hence my blind assumptions
the initialism would be recongized). They completely rebuilt the game
engine to modern standards whilst retaining the gameplay of the
original (often to the game's detriment, since the original had some
terrible mission design at times).
But if you want to play "X-Wing" like it was 1993 but want modern
hardware support and visuals, XVM is the best way to do it.
A "Diablo 2" fan-remake using that same philosophy would be ideal.

That is why I do not play on-line. That and I don't have the time to
play a game beforehand to get good enough to compete on-line. I mean,
some of these players - all they do is focus on that one game or two -
it is their lives I guess. Not fun! :-)
I used to just play Unreal Tournament 2004 (still mess with it now and
then), Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 on-line so that tells you a bit about me
and on-line games lol! There was cheating but probably not like there
is now. Society has gone down the sewer I guess :-)

L4D online is still pretty popular from what I've seen (the main co-op
and versus modes, the mutation sidegames are impossible to get a lobby >>for). Valve magic and all.

I used to play it sometimes until 2AM, waiting for the German and
other players ahead of my time zone to start playing and on expert
mode. Actually won a level or two on expert with help from players
probably better than I was. Now, I don't remember how I got that good
lol!!! I play LFD 2 offline once in a while and can't believe how
hard and long the games can be!! So much work! now!!! I could never
last playing on-line either. I have forgotten most of the maps is one
thing and get lost sometimes. I used to have each one memorized in
both versions, not any more! I get lost and bored and tired now lol!
