Also, don’t attempt to use the term ‘mod’ as it is used literally everywhere else, with people who play GTAV/RDR2 online.
In their weird, niche vernacular, ‘mod’ = ‘hack/cheat engine’.
Comment on Do you cheat in video games?

no, I mod them
there is no such thing as cheating in a personal game
don’t tell the people on Don’t Starve forums, but save mods are totally okay and not at all “cheating and ruining the game”. you know what ruins the game? losing my several hundred days of progress because I didn’t actually pause the game when my dog started making puking sounds and I ran away from my computer
also, Minecraft automation - sure, I could let my server run overnight, or I could just directly give myself the materials the farm would have produced in 12 hours and save the power consumption. ofc I validate all my farms before I do any of that, and I don’t give more resources than they produce.

Yep, I bounced off Don’t Starve so many times after losing everything on a good run. It’s too involved, too long, and there’s too much endgame content to be happy to start again after making a tiny mistake dozens/hundreds of hours in. It’s not like Hades or Balatro where a top tier run lasts like half an hour. If life was as ruthless as Don’t Starve, there would be no time to play Don’t Starve, because we would all be dead.

having those discussions about DS on the internet a decade ago is when I realized how many people on the internet were literally just children
